Eddie says "Honor No More is no more," and that due to Vincent being in the hospital, PCO turning on everyone, and Matt Taven and Mike Bennett, there is nothing left. As far as he stands with Alisha Edwards, he does not want that to become "public fodder" and wishes to keep it private. When asked if he would do it all again, he says yes, as Honor No More's mission was righteous.
