Some reporters jump in and begin questioning Marah in regards to her relationship with Sandy (Jonathan). Marah tries to avoid all of their questions, but the reporters press for a picture of her and Sandy (Jonathan) together. She gives them one quick snap shot, but then she rushes out. Jonathan follows and tries to explain that he didn't mean to hurt anyone. He just came to town to learn about his mother, but he ended up staying because of Marah. Marah is disgusted at how sick and perverted it is in regards to her having had romantic feelings for her brother. She is even more disgusted that Sandy never told her that he was Jonathan and that they were related the second he knew that her feelings for him have changed. She tells him that she thought Tony made her feel bad about herself, and continues to explain that he just made her feel a million times worse. Marah wonders why he waited until tonight to tell her the news. He explains that he wanted to wait until after the show because it was so important to her.
