Daniel inadvertently calls Alexis when she is in the middle of an “emergency”: Her power is out, but he talks her through turning it back on. He thinks someone must have turned off the breaker and asks if someone had been working on her electricity. Alexis says that must be what happened, but it is implied that Neil turned off her power. At the diner, Daniel meets with Doug and Brian and sees that Liz has a brace on one of her fingers, making them suspect Jake has been abusing her again. His friends ask him about Alexis, and he thinks about just how different their worlds are and how he is only allowed glimpses of hers.

When Alexis gets up the next morning, Neil is in the kitchen and has made her favorite quiche, which she realizes is another way he is trying to manipulate her. Alexis resolves that she won’t continue to be bullied by Neil and that he cannot make her leave her own house; she realizes that the emotional toll of giving in will be worse for her. Alexis’s parents arrive at her house and tell her they are going golfing with Neil. When she tells them that is inappropriate, her father says that he will not get in the middle of their “lovers’ spat” and that she should give the house to Neil anyway as she is the one who wants to end the relationship.
