Carlton! What are you doing in my mom's room?

You really think you can talk to another retirement home

Carlton, I was only-

Did you ever meet Penny?

She stayed in the room next to your mother.

She was a happy, wonderful and healthy old lady.

And then one day, her heart stopped.

Stay away from my mom.

You try transferring her again

and something bad is gonna happen.

But Will is making me move out.

He's telling Michelle the whole truth.

And with Charlotte getting better,

there's no reason for to be there anymore.

I didn't know he was married.

But why? It doesn't make sense.

How do you even know Carlton?

He owns the house I live in with my mom.

I had to move in to keep up with medical expenses.

But everything was piling up and things got really bad.

And then Carlton showed up and offered to help.

I just had no idea what I agreed to.

That's no excuse for what you've done.

he said. I had to protect her.

You should have gone to the police right away.

None of this had to happen.

I tried to go to the police, but he caught me.

He is always one step ahead of me.

I think he might've attacked Charlotte.

That fall could have killed her.

I'm sure he had something to do with Richard's death too.

Why would you say that?

He asked me to get a copy of Richard's house key.

Oh, my God. How could you?

I'm so sorry, Michelle. I had no idea what he was planning.

We need to go to the police right now

before he can hurt anyone else.

They won't listen to us without evidence.

And it'll only make Carlton more angry.

We need to find another way.

Well, we have to think of something quick.

Why would he do all of this?

He never admitted it.

But it's clear he wants you to leave Will.

And he wants Clark Real Estate to himself.
