Scott tells JR that he keeps doing the same thing over and over. JR tells him the score shows he has everything and Scott has nothing. JR tells Scott that nothing is out of his control. JR asks Scott what his plan is now and if he's going to tell Marissa for a pat on the head.

Liza tells him she's had the longest day of her life and she wants to go home and forget this day ever happened. David notes she's clearly upset and wants to help. Liza tells him he can't help because this has to do with emotions and feelings and guilt. Liza doesn't think David has any of those. David thinks that's a pretty harsh judgment considering where he's been and might be going. Liza says she can't do this right now. David grabs her hand and tells her everyone needs a friend and they don't have a lot so she should let him be a friend now and tell him what's bothering her.

David wonders what it was then. Liza says she can't do this. David asks if she had something to do with them breaking up. David tells her he knows it's not easy and doesn't want to push her but it might be good for her to talk about it and get it out in the open. David tells her to know he's here to listen when she's ready to talk. Liza thanks him. David says maybe he shouldn't promise that since Jake thinks he's ready to go to prison. Liza asks how sick David really is. David tells her he tried to sit up and almost passed out. Liza asks why he's telling her this. David says he's really not well and Jake can probably railroad him to prison. David wonders if Liza could persuade Jake to back off. Liza laughs and David asks what's funny. Liza says she was looking at David as a kind, compassionate man but is glad to know he's still the man he's always been. David tells her she's wrong on several counts.
