“Thank you”
“Ok. We will be this Saturday at your place.”
After this conversation, Meredith calmed down. She was really grateful to her parents-in-law for coming over. When she said this to Holly and Jack, they came back into the house.
Till Saturday everything was ok. On Saturday, in the morning, Meredith heard a doorbell. She wasn't surprised, because she knew that these were her parents-in-law. They got to know Jack and started talking about Thomas's childhood. Annie told everybody a story about their last summer in this house. She told them everything as she had told Meredith.

Annie read the note. She passed out and fell on the floor. In that note was written that Willy and Annie had had an affair and that he was Tom's biological father. After Annie woke up and everybody calmed down, her husband asked:
