Katheryn Overhears Devastating News

Worried that he may be going to prison for a very long time; that is, if the police find out he played a role in the stabbing death of Quincy, Jeffery pays a visit to his best friend, Wyatt. Wyatt, who has been recovering in the hospital after overdosing on drugs, is fast asleep when Jeffery comes to his bedside. "I was hoping that you would be be awake, because I needed to talk to you," says Jeffery to his sleeping friend. "My mother is making me get engaged to Melissa. Anyway, um, I may be away when you get out of here, but I need you to know that I love you, Wyatt."

Jeffery begins to weep before apologizing, on behalf of his mother, who was responsible for Wyatt's brutal sexual assault while he was behind bars. "I'm so sorry I couldn't protect you," says Jeffery between sobs. "I'm so sorry that my mom let that guy get to you, and do those things to you, in jail."

Just then, Katheryn, who was quietly observing Jeffery from the doorway, demands that Jeffery tell her what Veronica orchestrated.

Surprised by Katheryn's presence, Jeffery tries to leave, but Katheryn isn't going to let that happen.

"You are not going anywhere until you tell me what you said," she demands.

Jeffery complies, albeit against his better judgment. "When he was in jail, my mother arranged for a violent inmate to get in a cell with him, and he raped him."

Katheryn's eyes are lit with a fire and rage that would scare Veronica straight if she could see.
