Salene's Troubles When Trudy returns to the Mall she has changed, and for the better. Before, she was sullen, bitter, paranoid, and horrible toward Salene, unwilling to care for Brady, yet resentful if Salene stepped in to do it. Trudy now wants to be a proper mom to Brady, and is determined to repair her friendships with everyone in the Tribe. Salene makes the first move, handing Brady back to her very tearful, emotional mother. This was hard for her. Salene doted on Brady, and saw herself almost as Brady's rightful mother, having taken more care than her birth-mother. Trudy later sits with Salene and thanks her for giving Brady back, and admits to being a lousy mom. Tormented by guilt for leaving Trudy to die, Salene is quick to forgive, but still not brave enough to bare her soul. KC brings Salene food from the Café but she's not eating, and won't even sit up. Patsy and Cloe are worried she might have the Virus. Trudy hears that Salene is off her food and calls on her out of concern. There's talk that she might have the Virus. Salene sets her mind at rest, she's beginning to feel hungry! Trudy invites Salene to hold Brady, just like old times, but seeing that she holds back, Trudy freely admits she has been really horrible, especially to Salene. She really wants to be friends, if Salene will let her. She feels she even owes her life to her. Salene feels terrible, if only Trudy knew that in fact Salene saw the empty bottle of pills on Trudy's bed that night and left her to die. And Trudy is now being so nice...
