[What's on her jaw is the bruise from where Helena punched her, and she'd done a half-decent job of covering it up, but apparently she missed the spot where the bruise stretches under her chin.
She really hadn't wanted Saul to see that.]
That'd be a bruise. [Briefly, she considers lying, but even if he'd buy it, she feels like she owes him better than that.] Someone from back home thought I wasn't me. [No, that doesn't make sense.] Or - thought I was pretending to be me. They didn't think I was Steph, basically. I let them hit me 'cause I knew it'd make them feel better.
[Oh boy.
At least this is easier than talking about Murray or Nikolai.]
