Boyd shows Bianca a new cream he has invented. He says that after doing a lot of tests, he’s figured how to pretty much stop the aging process. Bianca is very proud of him and tries the cream on.

Erica tells Chris she doesn’t blame him for being angry. She asks if they could start over. Chris says he can’t forgive such betrayals. He says that even if they could start over, Jackson would find a way to get to Erica.

He tells her that if she and Jackson end up together, it’s going to be the biggest mistake of her life.

Brooke excuses herself, thinking its better that Jamie and Tad talk man-to-man. Tad asks Jamie more about Holly. Tad tells him that he’s not the first guy to try to forget one girl by sleeping with another. He asks him whether he did in fact manage to forget about Laurie while he was with Holly. Jamie admits that all he thought about was Laurie. Tad tells him that he hopes he hasn’t done anything to make Jamie think that this kind of behavior is ok. Jamie says it’s not that at all. Tad asks whether Laurie knows and if she was upset. Jamie says she knows but she doesn’t care at all. Tad encourages Jamie to not let go, and that he’s got everything that any girl would want. He says that if Laurie can’t see that, then it’s her loss. Jamie says he thinks he’s a loser, and runs upstairs.

Chris says he doesn’t have a heart left. When he opens the door, a paparazzi photographer takes a photo of them. Erica tells the photographer to layoff and stop bothering Chris. She offers him an interview if he doesn’t print the photograph. The photographer takes the offer and leaves them alone. Chris asks her if she planned the whole thing out so she could convince Chris that she’s on his side. Erica says no, and that she really just wanted to apologize to him. Chris still isn’t convinced. She leaves.

Bianca bumps into Lena in the office hallway. Lena tells her that she would like to go out with her soon. Bianca says that would be nice. Lena suddenly starts leaning in, going for a kiss. Bianca stops her and asks her what she’s doing.

Kendall tells Michael that she’s not prepared to stop seeing him. She says that if Boyd can’t handle them being together, then that’s just the way it’s going to be. She says she would rather quit Fusion than stop seeing Michael. Just then, Boyd walks in.

Lena apologizes to Bianca and says she was just really drawn to her all of a sudden. Bianca slips and says Boyd’s magic cream must be working. Lena asks what she’s talking about. Bianca realizes that she wasn’t supposed to say anything, and tells Lena to change the subject. Lena says she won’t say anything, but asks more about the cream. Bianca tells her that Boyd’s been working hard, and that he keeps all the formulas locked up in his brain. Lena says that if anything ever happened to Boyd, all his work would go down the drain. Bianca says she never thought of it that way. She says she will talk to Boyd about this again. Bianca asks Lena again to not say anything to anyone. Lena promises. After Bianca leaves, Lena gets on the phone with Michael and tells him she’s a step closer to getting Boyd’s formulas on paper.

Michael says he has to rush off to a meeting. He leaves Boyd and Kendall alone. Boyd apologizes to Kendall for cutting her off on the phone earlier. Kendall asks him if they’re friends again.

Laurie tells Joni that they were wrong about Jamie. She says that Jamie didn’t do anything with Holly. Joni says that thinking about doing something is the same as actually doing it. Laurie thinks about this and wonders if she should stay mad at Jamie.

Kendall tells Boyd that Fusion is really desperate. She asks Boyd if he would work for them. Boyd says that if he would work for them, it would be for other reasons. He says that he wants something more with her. Kendall is surprised with this, and asks him not to turn her down. She says Fusion really needs him.
