Eden tells Nicky/Gus to call off his "dog" - Harley- who has handcuffed herself to Eden with the intent of dragging her physically back to Springfield. Gus pleads with his sister to please do this favor for him, since he changed his whole life for her when he pleaded guilty to her actions all those years ago. Eden reminds Gus that promises were made to her father and to her. Harley argues that Gus has certainly gone way beyond his duty. Eden accuses Nicky/Gus of throwing over family obligation because he has fallen in love. Gus tells her he's not breaking his promise because she is going to admit the truth herself. Eden says there is no way she is going to open herself up to legal retribution simply because her brother wants to appease his girlfriend. Gus begs that she only reveal the truth to Phillip so that Harley can have her son back, and promises that he and Harley will protect her from any kind of police involvement in the case. Eden uses nostalgia to try one last time to get Nicky/Gus to let her off the hook. Finally she relents. Gus thanks her and they embrace. Then Eden asks to be released from the handcuffs, but Harley says no. Not only does she think it unwise to let Eden go, she does not even have the key with her if she wanted to.
