Don't mind Fred

I wish Fred and his stupid son
would just go away

What did he do?

- Well, according to Madame Fortin,

Beckett entered the classroom and
went direcly to Spencer

Supposedly the boys are having trouble

and then...Beckett...

I...I don't know how to deal...

- I know and I wanna talk to him

I mean...I think he should stay with me
until we work this out

- Oh, this is my fault, right?

You're the cool dad and I the nagging mom?

- Who did it all with him? Care for him, raise him
while you were having a career?

- Don't you dare: I have been here
for both of you

- I wanted shared custody of our son,
but you said no.

- I've lost so much already,
but I'm not gonna lose Beckett

the old ones

it's the tought that matters

- Spencer doesn't stop picking on me

He and Clint make fun of me all day,
I can't take it anymore

- We'll deal with this together

We'll stop it all.

I did some research,
it's all in your laptop

I can be home schoooled,
problem solved.

Please dad...

- Why did Spencer go on you?

- He just does

- You promised

It's because I'm gay?

Just say something

I swear I would change it

- No...dad, don't change anything

and don't go back to being sad

we have in the hallway,

the one your grand-father gave you?
