Leslie is in Tad’s bedroom. She walks from place to place touching things and picking things up. Smelling his cologne and other items in the room.

She takes one of his ties and then hears someone coming to the room. It is Dixie. She is mad as hell. She takes her things and throws them to the floor. Leslie has hidden in the closet and is hiding. Dixie almost goes into the closet, but Tad calls for her to tell her that he is home. She doesn’t enter the closet, but he does walk in and sees her things on the floor.

Leslie hears them talk about the favor that Liza has done for them. She arranged for Leslie to be leaving. Dixie is shocked to find out that Liza knows about Leslie and that Tad has been keeping more secrets. Tad thought that they could celebrate. That is the real reason that he came home early. He is feeling lucky and begs for her forgiveness. He promises that there will be no more secrets. He thinks that she is perfection and they kiss heartily. She suggests that they go into the shower together. They start taking their clothes off and talk to each other in cute, funny voices. Leslie listens to the both of them and when it is safe, she leaves the closet and on the way out, sprays herself with some "Alluring" cologne.
