In his 15th letter, Chaos writes that they have lost one of their men, and he feels angry and shaken up. He asks Ella what it’s like to be connected and have deep roots somewhere.

Ella is incredulous at Beckett’s offer of marriage so that his insurance can cover Maisie’s treatment. She turns it down, saying that marriage is about love and is important to her. She softens a little when Beckett points out that he loves the kids, but she still doesn’t trust him enough to stay for the long haul. Beckett pushes back, revealing that he promised Maisie she wouldn’t die on his watch, and Ella is angry that he made such a promise. She insists she won’t commit fraud. Beckett leaves, promising to show her that he is trustworthy by continuing to show up.

Ella confides in Ada, who thinks that Ella should take the chance Beckett is offering to save Maisie’s life. Ada points out that Ella is not afraid of trusting Beckett with the kids but of her own feelings for him. Ella decides to talk to Beckett again.

After Colt’s soccer practice the next day, Ella asks Beckett to accompany her to a meeting with a lawyer.
