“Doctor… Nathan, you have to believe me. I had no idea what your mother was planning.” Sky was desperately trying to find something to say that could possibly convince him when Simon ran out and latched onto her leg. Sighing softly, the young woman pulled him off and knelt down so she could hug him. Holding him close, she rubbed his back gently and cooed comforting words into his ear, “Shhh, you don’t need to be afraid. It’s okay. She’s gone now.” She felt her shoulder growing wet with tears and other fluids she’d rather not think about and hugged the boy a bit tighter. She wanted to tell Simon that Mrs. Burnoise wasn't a bad woman and that he didn't need to be afraid of her but the woman’s ulterior motives had caught Sky off guard as much as Nathan and she was no longer sure what to think.

Speaking of which, Miss Donahue looked over at the young doctor, her eyes full of sympathy and concern. She still wasn't sure how to make him believe her and she worried he might not give her a chance. If Nathan fired her and kicked her out of the lab, she’d never find another opportunity like this. Sure, the esteemed doctor was a bit odd but he was also quite brilliant and he had the most amazing lab she’d ever seen. Skylar still didn't know what most of these machines were for but after what she had seen today, she felt certain at least half of them did things you wouldn't think was possible. Besides, on a more trivial note, she couldn't stand the thought of someone thinking so poorly of her. Even if she never saw Nathan again, it would bother her to know he thought she was a manipulative traitor, especially since she had done nothing wrong. Cautiously, she called out to him, “…Doctor? Is there anything at all I can do that would make you believe me?”
