These two remarkable women that I'm lucky enough to have in my
life. >> Luna: I still can't believe
this, Mom. I mean, Tom's backpack is here
and his letters and everything you sent back over the years?
It doesn't make sense, like why would it be here?
>> Poppy: Luna, I swear I do not know how his backpack got here.

entire childhood, writing letters and claiming to be my

short one. Yeah, that was definitely the
hardest part, losing two friends.

it happened. >> Liam: So, like, where is
Will? Is he upstairs, by the pool?

He doesn't feel...terribly welcome here at the moment.

accept that he has a sister. >> Liam: Yeah.
And the fact that her mom's living with you
instead of his. >> Bill: [sighs]

father. I mean, I always believed that
he was, but there was always this...lingering doubt that...
I don't know, a concern that maybe Tom was right.
Thank God he wasn't. >> Luna: Did you know that he
was in Los Angeles and working at Il Giardino?

Bill and I were on a date, and Tom accidently spilled water on
us. >> Luna: And you only saw him
that one time? >> Poppy: No.
He also delivered a pizza to the house.

Now everything is making sense. Wait, wasn't that the same night

I told him that he had to stop this--sending letters and
insisting that he was your father.
I needed him to accept and understand that Bill is your
father, not him. >> Luna: And you did this the
night that he performed at Il Giardino?

that he died, Mom. I don't understand why you
didn't tell me any of this. Why? >> Poppy: 'Cause I was trying to
protect you, Luna, and I still am.

No. I don't know. I mean, I asked her about it but, you
know, let's be real. She does have a history of drug
use, and that's how Tom and Hollis both died, from drug
overdoses, so... maybe she had the means.

Poppy's place? >> R.J.: Yes. And-and she showed
me what was inside of it, and inside there were all these
letters that Tom had written to Poppy over the years.
