At Poppy’s apartment, Luna hates questioning her mother, but she’s questioning everything. Like why she didn’t want to tell her who her father was. Poppy didn’t know how Bill would react.

Luna says it didn’t magically appear out of nowhere. She’s done drugs in the past and they both died of overdoses, “Even Katie…” Poppy says she’s wrong. She didn’t harm anybody. They’ll talk this out but they have to keep this as their secret. No one can know about this.
