He questions what the man wants, but Tessa cuts him off and offers him a place to stay with them. Hardin straightens up and remarks that the prodigal father has returned. He tried to call her, sent her gifts for every birthday and Christmas. They sit for dinner and he compliments her cooking, likening her skill to that of her mother. She offers her shower to him while she makes food. In the present, Tessa, Hardin, and Richard go back to the apartment. She begs him not to go but he ignores her cries and leaves. Tessa runs out of the greenhouse to the driveway as she screams after her father, who is backing out of the driveway. He doesn't give a shit about them and has to go. He tries to defer the blame, but she yells that he's drunk in the middle of the day so of course they fired him. He's tried so many times to stop and she's sick of it. He didn't mean it and apologizes but he's always sorry, she doesn't know how she's supposed to believe him this time. She won't let Tessa seem him like this as he needs help. Carol yells at Richard to get out as she can't do this anymore. A young Tessa sits in the greenhouse behind her childhood home, her hands clasp over her ears to drown out the sounds of her parents arguing inside the home. ![]()
