A WEEK LATER

Alex gets back from the Bahamas.  She was supposed to be gone for the weekend only.

Her key isn't working.  Ethan hears the doorknob rattling and comes out.

Not too far away...

Halle and her mother prepare dinner.  This is Lisa's last day at their place.

Halle's dad, Michael, is back from his fishing trip and has come to take his sweetheart home.  He and Dean chat while waiting for dinner.

The doorbell rings, Dean grabs it and surprise it's Alex.

She greets everyone and then joins her mom and sister in the kitchen.

Alex wastes no time securing a place to stay.  Halle says yes, while putting out another plate.

They have dinner.  Hours later, mom and dad say good-bye.  Kisses and hugs for everyone.

Alex immediately retreats to the bedroom.

While Halle and Dean clean up.

DAYS LATER

Dean helps Halle put in a few hidden cameras in her stockroom.

A WEEK LATER

ANOTHER WEEK PASSES

Alex is in bed.  Ethan still isn't taking her calls; meanwhile Clark can't stop calling her.  She promptly sends his calls to voicemail.

A FEW MORNINGS LATER

Kelly and Shane have been enjoying their frequent phone conversations.

THE NEXT NIGHT
