Wednesdays 9:00 PM on The CWNancy Drew Season 4 Episode 12: "The Heartbreak of Truth" Quotes
Nancy: That phone call made me go to the Yacht Club basement. What if something happened while you were out fishing because the next thing you know, Jane Doe’s body showed up?
Ace: It’s a morgue. Bodies show up.
I have this guilt in the pit of my stomach, and I can’t fix it. I can’t even consider redemption until I figure out what I did.
Nancy
George: The Claw has been a part of the Fan family for generations. It’s like the first thing I’ve ever owned. Nick, this isn’t a simple transaction for me.
Nick: I know. Maybe sit with it, though.
Callie: How’s everyone holding up? That was a rough night in the woods, for Tristan especially.
Nick: I know you dug a grave for him. He doesn’t have to die.
Callie: We all die eventually. The only thing that survives is the sin eater, one body to the next; the soul remains generation after generation.
Nick: Please, don’t destroy another innocent life.
Callie: I’ll do what it takes to ensure the continued existence of the sin eater just as my ancestors did before me. It’s our legacy to provide order to this town.
Nick: By sweeping crime and corruption under the carpet. Cherry picking who gets a do-over. That’s not order, it’s manipulation on behalf of the privileged, and it’s systemic injustice.
Callie: The alternative is worse. You should be grateful. Whether it’s Tristan or the next incarnation of his soul, the cycle is unbreakable.
Tristan: So, the mummy is kind of like my mom, and we need to destroy her to stop the curse.
George: Families. Am I right?
Nancy: Does she remember how she died?
Ace: Maybe some mysteries don’t need to be solved.
Nancy: You care about Alice. Don’t you want her to have closure? Keeping her in the dark to protect your heart is not fair.
Ace: Can you just let it go? It is so like you to rope me into another mystery and force me to solve it with you just when I’ve moved on.
Nancy: Nobody is forcing you. And you haven’t moved on. Your girlfriend is a ghost. She’s dead. So whatever relationship you think you might have can’t last.
Ace: Your boyfriend is a beast marked for death. Whatever relationship you think you have can’t last. You haven’t moved on, either.
Ace: I know! I never said that I did. God, it’s just so like you to call things off as soon as you feel uncomfortable. You’re afraid. You’re afraid of the truth. You’re afraid of yourself, and you’re afraid of me. And I can solve this mystery without you.
Carson: We’re both going to sit with it for a second. She’s not sure what she wants.
Ryan: Yeah, well, what do you want?
Carson: To be honest, I never thought a second shot at fatherhood was a possibility. It’s a lot to weigh. I’m not sure I can handle it.
Ryan: Look, you raised the best person I’ve ever met. If you want this, you can handle it.
She spoke to me. She was sorry there was no justice for what happened to me, to any of the other sin eaters. She was trapped down here for centuries. A prisoner just like the sin eaters they forced her to create. She said she was glad I returned to her, and then she said goodbye.
Tristan
Our future is connected to our past, so from the ashes of past regret may a bright future rise.

Nick: The Claw came to me when I was searching for a purpose, and it’s what I needed at the time, but now…
George: Times are changing, and so are we.
After spending time with Tristan today and hearing how limited his life has been, I realized I should take risks while I can. Victoria is stable. My sisters are almost grown. I don’t have anything holding me back but fear.
George
