As far as Scott is concerned, Sloane and Emma can fight over the poetry class, as long as he doesn't have to teach it.
As he listens to Sloane's story, he feels a little chill around his heart -- how many times has he found his children and lost them again? Granted that Nathan and Rachel are alive and now -- and, more or less, he thinks well -- yet too many things have happened to Scott's family for him to believe that the cycle is ever settled. Then, as Sloane talks about holding his daughter's body, Scott's mind goes somewhere else -- Manhattan, and Jean, her body convulsing as the life left her.
Dammit. This might be a blatant play for sympathy on Sloane's part -- Scott knows that -- but it's certainly working on him. Emma, Emma can be more objective about it.
Is he telling the truth? Scott asks her, mentally.
