Lindsay gloats about how Troy accepts her and loves her for who she really is. Like the person who injected Nora? Jen wonders. Lindsay doesn’t want to discuss that event in her life – she’s a different person now. Jen deduces that he doesn’t know, but Lindsay thinks he knows enough and adores her anyway.

Gabrielle taunts Todd about his meeting with David. She threatens to tell Blair what she learned about the baby. Todd stops her. Gabrielle doesn’t think Blair will forgive Todd for pretending her child is dead. Todd threatens her but Gabrielle says she has nothing to lose. What could Todd take from her? Your life, Todd responds.

Gabrielle knows she has Todd where she wants him if he is willing to kill her to keep her quiet. Gabrielle points out that she has nothing to lose by telling Blair – she has no money, friends or love life. Blair comes over and tells Gabrielle to get lost. Gabrielle says she only has one thing to say to her – about her baby who died. Todd calls her bluff, so Gabrielle offers her condolences about the baby. Blair tells her to leave.

Colin’s Grave

Troy ‘confesses’ to Colin about his feelings for Nora. Nora is listening to every word. She followed Troy from his loft and tells him she is not making prank phone calls to his home. Troy wonders why she followed him. Nora didn’t want to be alone with Lindsay. She’s afraid of Lindsay and with good reason.

Nora questions Troy about his plan to elope. Troy says he’s going to ‘disappear’ with Lindsay for a few days and he doesn’t want Nora to know the details. Nora thinks someone should know what is going on because when Lindsay figures out what he is up to, he will be in danger. Troy doesn’t care. He has to expose Lindsay to vindicate Colin and prove that he would never have hurt Nora.

Nora tells Troy she heard what he said about needing to find out the truth because he wants to see Nora happy again. She believes him and because of that, she can’t let him go through with his plan. If anything happened to Troy, she couldn’t live with herself.

Troy is surprised – he didn’t think she cared so much. Neither did Nora, but it’s the truth. Nora thinks she could have stopped Troy if she could let go of her anger at Lindsay. She admits she is drawn to Troy – he feels the same about her. He is going to get Lindsay and then they can go on with their lives. Troy thinks they shouldn’t see each other again until it’s all over. Nora doesn’t think it will ever be over. She hugs Troy and it turns into a kiss. Troy apologizes but Nora says it wasn’t just him and she leaves, but not before warning him to be careful.
