And now let's cry together, guys. Ems and Jack sit alongside Sammy by the fireplace at Casa Emily. They both have wet eyes. It's exactly where Sammy wants to be, Ems notes. He's home. Jack says every day has been a gift and he was starting to think Sammy would live forever. He breaks down, not knowing if he has it in him to say goodbye to his best friend. Jack: "Sammy, thank you for being such a good friend, such a good listener. And thank you for making me smile every day, even on the worst of them. Thank you for teaching me about loyalty and friendship... Thank you for teaching me how to love." Jack clutches his dog and buries his face into him. "Oh, Sammy, thank you, thank you, thank you." Guys, I have about fifty things in my eye right now. Emanda looks on vicariously as her soulmate comforts her dog she never actually got to own. FLASHBACK: Little Amanda, Jack and David all play with Sammy on the beach. /FLASHBACK. Emanda takes Jack's hand in hers as the life leaves Sammy.
Dec arrives home with Yonkers. Her clothes are all wet from being splashed by a truck, so Declan hands her some dry clothes and says she can change in the restroom where there are towels. She stops to suggest he look for some pictures of Sammy so they can put them on the poster boards they were going to use for their project. This girl is sharp. While Dec looks at a photo of himself, Jack and Sammy, a tearful Charlotte appears. She declares all of her family members are awful, apologizes for pulling Declan's tuition and asks if she can spend the night. Cue Yonkers coming out of the restroom wearing nothing but Dec's T-shirt. Charlotte instantly makes a comment about Yonkers being trashy. She fires back at Charlie that at least she's not a walking tabloid. "Everyone has things in their past they don't want people to know about. Right, Declan?" Charlotte says before walking out.
