Funeral
- 7:00pm: Funeral begins. The nephews and nieces gather around the grave to speak.
- Gary - "She was a tough old broad and always put the family first."
- Janice - "She brought us through tough times and was always there. When our mother died, she took care of us like we were her own. She kept us together, kept us a family." Glare at Hugh.
- Sean - "She deserved better than the lot of us." Glare at Hugh.
- Lynn - "May she find her rest under the eyes of Mother Luna. She's earned it."
- Michelle - "We had our differences, but I always respected her. Even if I didn't agree with her all the time, I knew the decisions she had to make weren't easy and I hoped that, one day, I could stand up and be strong enough to make the same sorts of decisions myself. She was what every leader should aspire to be. Strong, courageous, resourceful, and inspiring. She did Father Wolf proud."
- Jack - Respectfully shakes off his chance.
- Martin - "We will miss her wisdom and her wit. She would have made her father proud."
- Kelly - Shakes off her chance, eyes downcast. Jennifer smirks. Michelle glares.
- Jennifer - Shakes off her chance to speak with a drag of her cigarette.
- 7:30pm: Hugh says, "We honor the passage of our most renowned member and regret that she had to die as the result of treachery rather than in battle against our foes. She deserved a better end. Only justice will allow her spirit to rest." Glares from the uptown family, Michelle restrains Janice.
- 7:37pm: Twilight ends. Gary and Eric leave immediately. The other wolf-blooded trickle out while Sean and Gary refuse to leave.
- Gary: "We're staying." Sean nods.
- Hugh: "No, you're not. This is for full-blooded only. You know the rules."
- Janice: "This is about Mike. They have a right to hear what's said."
- Hugh: "They have what rights tradition grants them and this isn't among them." Looks to Martin and Junior. "If they won't leave, remove them."
- Jeff: "Really, Hugh, is that necessary?"
- Michelle: Quietly to Sean and Gary, "This could get ugly. We'll come straight to Doyle's when it is over, I promise."
- Hugh: "Is that a threat?"
- Jeff: "I don't think anyone can deny that blood is running hot, Hugh."
- Martin: "I feel no threat was implied." Looks to Sean and Gary. "Hugh's right, though, you have to go. I'm sorry."
- Gary looks at Sean, who nods slowly. The two depart.
