Serena and Commander Waterford go to the home of Commander Lawrence where June is currently residing, to ask her to call Lucas. They want her to call Luke to allow them to say good-bye. At first, June refuses. Serena pleads to her from one mother to another. Eventually, June breaks down but not before getting an IOU from Serena.

I think June is about to come undone.
