If You Tell: A True Story of Murder, Family Secrets, and the Unbreakable Bond of Sisterhood

Shelly recruits Ron to help her caretake for a Pearl Harbor survivor named James “Mac” McLintock who was a family friend to the Lorenos. According to Shelly, Mac is the father figure she never had, and she calls his house several times a day and visits often. Tori also visits him and enjoys his company. Mac asks Shelly to move in and care for him, but she sends Ron instead. Mac balks since Ron is gay. Despite the many possible bedrooms Ron can sleep in, Shelly tells Ron he must sleep in Mac’s basement.

Lara hears that Ron is staying with Shelly and that they are now caring for an elderly man. Alarmed, she calls Bergstrom asking for an update on the Loreno investigation. Lara is infuriated to hear that Bergstrom is in the middle of a big trial but will follow up on Nikki’s allegations later. She also contacts Shane’s maternal grandparents, who confirm that they have not heard from him in a long time.

Tori learns from Shelly that Mac is planning to leave his estate to his dog Sissy in his will. Once Sissy dies, his house and estate will go to Shelly. Tori is relieved.
