Rachel Lang, Jesse RyanOne year later, Jesse is haunted by visions of Rachel.
Jesse Ryan, WalterSometimes I'd see someone, from behind, and I'd know, I'd just know, it was Lisa. And then she'd turn around, and it wasn't. But sometimes, you know, it was. And now... Whenever I see someone who looks like her, and she turns around... it won't be... ever.
You watch that voice in this house. While you're here, you'll respect her as your mother, and treat her as such.
Yes, baby, I really am feeling so much better. I feel so good on the inside, I must be glowing on the outside.
So, Rachel, there were some pictures Lisa took. They have, what you might call sentimental value.
Answer true or false and this won't take all day. Again: Sometimes my THOUGHTS--
Rachel, listen. I swear, I didn't know they were taping us. I'd never hurt you.
Absolutely. We're gonna crush Carlin Friday and make it seven years in a'row.
Hormonally-charged morons. Why do the innocent always get hit in a drive-by?
