She had her whole life ahead of her.
It was a tragic accident. She lost control of her car,
Finn. She drove off Mulholland, she took the turns too quickly.
It wasn't murder. Thomas did not murder her.
So, can you please just get that out of your mind?

you've overcome, I'm really, really proud of you.
You've earned the right to put all the misfortunes and pain
behind you. >> Thomas: Well, do you think
I've been doing a good job of that? A lot of that

Thomas was on Mulholland. >> Steffy: He could have been

It doesn't mean he was anywhere near Emma or maliciously
ran her off the road. My God.
