After his Sandra and his mother left Criss just looked out the window wondering what was going to happen to the restaurant he closed his eyes and fell asleep. A few days went by and Criss and his crew including Dimitra and Sandra went to Evan's memorial. As people got up and told their stories about Evan there wasn't a dry eye in the house. "We have one more person Sandra Estefan please come up". Sandra walked up holding a black bible in her hand that her grandmother gave her as a child.

"Thank you Father I worked for Evan as a waitress he was a great guy if you were feeling low he could tell. I remember one time we were getting ready to close down for the night and this guy came in. When I saw this guy I don't know what it is but I couldn't stop staring into his eyes and I think Evan know. Evan gave me a large order of garlic fries so I gave the order to the man, than he asked me to share it with him since it was too much for him to eat alone". Criss remembered that day it was when they met for the first time and every time on their anniversary they would go to Evan's restaurant and share a plate of garlic fries. When Sandra sat down Criss gave her a hug. After the funeral Criss was getting his car while Sandra was talking to some old friends. "Christopher"his mother said coming over.

"Yea mom"he said wiping his eyes. "I talked to Quinn they're having a little celebration for Evan". "I can't but Sandra took her car here if you want to go"he replied. She put her hand on Criss's face as a tear fell down his face. "Are you sure?". "Yea". "All right". She kissed Criss and went over to Sandra. She turned as Criss got into his car and left. When Criss got back to Serenity he saw Chef ED taking some groceries out of his car. "Hey ED"he called out. "Christopher I thought you were at a memorial service". "I had to get out before I lost it". "Mister Peli I put away the meat but I'm not sure where the rest goes". "Marshall this is my boss Criss". "Nice to meet you Marshall" Criss remarked saking hands. "Why don't you start peeling the apples for the pie" and the kid went back in. Criss said nothing as he help ED with the rest of the food. When he came in Marshall was peeling the apples like nothing else.

"Marshall slow down I don't want you to lose a finger". "If you don't mind me asking what's going on?"Criss asked. "I hope you don't mind Criss but Marshall and I are doing a party at the church where Pastor Ray works". "I remember Pastor Ray I helped raises some money for the homeless shelter Sanctuary" Criss replied. "So you don't know what happened?". Criss pulled over a seat. "What happened?". "There was a fire in the cafateria and he had enough money to take care of the damage but the county wants to shut it down since nothing of applinaces hasn't been replaced since your niece was two years old". "That sucks". "And the worse is Pastor Ray just lost his adopted son to a heart attack and his wife has been diagonsed with Stomach cancer,"ED replied. Thoughts of his father hit him like a bullet. "I'm sorry Criss I forgot about your father".
