Jamal orders Jack to hand over the ring. He knows that Jack is the one who took it from him. Jack tries to lay the blame on Imani, but Jamal knows better. Jack tells him to go to her room now, because he might be surprised by what he finds. He never thought Jamal would wig out over a piece of jewelry, but Jamal says it's not about the ring anymore. It's about being a friend, and Jack is blowing it. Jack turns it around on him, saying that Jamal is the one accusing him of being a crook. He's not going to put up with it. He tries to leave, but Jamal grabs his arm, bares his fangs, and goes for his neck. Suddenly, he releases Jack, who asks Jamal whether he really would have killed him. Jamal claims that he wouldn't have, but Jack tells him to take the ring, because he doesn't want it. He just wanted to see what it was all about, but since it obviously has the power to make a guy's best friend try to kill him, he doesn't want anything to do with it. Neither does Jamal. He's going to get rid of it before it causes any real harm.

All night, Chris works on his idea to get Elizabeth out of this jam. He sketches some designs as they have martinis. After seeing his artwork, Elizabeth is ready to tell Alison the truth. Chris wants her to work with him on this. Discarded sketched are wadded up all over the bed. Chris shows her another sketch, and she asks whether the sticks are supposed to be legs. He challenges her to do better. Elizabeth takes the pad and makes some modifications to his drawings. Looking over her shoulder, Chris is impressed. At first Elizabeth is encouraged, but then she wads up the paper in disgust, knowing full well that she's in over her head. Chris grabs some kind of cloth--possibly a tablecloth or a throw--and wraps it around his waist. Inspired, Elizabeth uses him as her model as she begins to sketch again.
