Jonathan Goldstein

A woman she hadn't heard from in 35 years wanted to talk to her about a random night from their childhood.

Oh, and she also wanted to bring along her 11-year-old son and his 48-year-old sidekick, both of whom would be communicating with Skye through a secret microphone.

Let's wait so she can talk to you.

Mom!

Wait, wait, wait.

Inside the control room, I watch Skye perform a delicate balancing act.

She's aware that Clark is watching, so she's trying not to be too timid.

But she also wants to set a good example for how to behave.

And through all that, she can't help seeing it from Tessa's perspective, how weird and uncomfortable this must be for her.

Skye wants to help Tessa feel safe.

And so, she treads lightly.

You can see that Tessa is weighing her response.

She doesn't quite know what to say.

But with Skye being so gracious and open, it's like she feels the least she can do is try to meet her halfway.

And so tentatively, she offers a thought.

Again, Tessa searches for the right words, all the while never saying us or we, but always they.

According to Tessa, if Sky had stayed friends with those girls, it would have meant a summer of drinking alcohol and pulling off semi-illegal pranks after dark.

All things Sky wouldn't have wanted.

Even back then, she didn't want to upset anyone.

To her friends, that made her seem like a goody two-shoes.
