Roxy flips and Nigel mentions eloping! Asa says that it was nice of Natalie to rent that house for Jessica and Vicki, that it was "...something like Jessica would do." She tells him of her and Christian's engagement and thanks him for giving Christian a job. Asa tells her that he'll pay for the wedding if they wait until they get out of college. She turns him down saying that when you love someone, you should be with him or her as long as possible because you never know what's going to happen. Renee walks up behind her as Natalie is saying this and she and Asa have a moment. Blair and Troy talk about exes and.

Troy questions Blair about her wound and she lies that she cut her self with a kitchen knife. Nora and Hank interrupt their dinner and asks Blair why she isn't testifying against Mitch. Troy gets upset and asks if it can wait because Blair wanted to forget Mitch for one night. Nora and Hank leave and Troy tells Blair that he's also curious. He wonders if someone, like Dorian, convinced her not to testify. Dorian explains her scream to Mitch. She says that they haven't had enough time alone as husband and wife. He notices her perfume and finds it intoxicating. He says it's much better than the cologne of the...contractor? Dorian agrees, or was it the designer he asks. Oops. Dorian covers for her slip. Craig interrupts them before Dorian has to kiss Mitch and goes to take Mitch to his room. Vicki tries to get Jessica not to stay with Mitch. She tells her daughter that he's evil to the core and that she's scared for her. Jessica still wants to move in because she feels responsible for what happened. Jessica goes in Llanfair as Craig is teaching Mitch how to use his cane. He says once again how much her staying with him means. She goes to check on her room and he tells Craig to take him "downstairs." Dorian opens the library door, diamond in hand, and sees them heading for the door. | ||||||||||||||||
| Al goes to find a new drug dealer. Blair tells Troy that Dorian has nothing to do with her not testifying against Mitch. She says that she won't have anything to do with her while she's married to Mitch. Troy tells her that he knows she's been meeting with Dorian and Blair says she's trying to convince her aunt to leave Mitch. Roxy and Nigel walk in from their "meeting" outside. He's tucking in his shirt and she's pulling leaves out of her hair mumbling how she's just had the "Palace special." Nigel asks Asa for the night off. Asa thinks he's drunk and tells him no, that he's not going to drive one of his cars like that. Asa asks Nigel about he and Roxy and Nigel almost let their affair slip. Vicki tells Nora and Hank about Mitch having Jessica at Llanfair. They can't do anything because she's there of her own free will.

Vicki tells Nora and Hank that she's afraid she will never get Jessica back from Mitch. Natalie tells Jessica that she knows she's only living in Llanfair to bring Mitch down. Jessica says that she's not doing that and Natalie says that that's good because no one gets away with betraying Mitch. Dorian closes herself in the room with the box.
