Soon their clothes are off and they lay together on the bear skin rug in front of the fire.

Cristian and Blair are alone in a secluded room. Blair is concerned that Cristian is only making nice with her because Jessica was in the room. He tries to explain to her that is not the case. She just wants to feel good and think about right that moment. He thinks that sounds like a perfect idea.

Todd is walking throughout the same building with a light in his hand…He hears voices behind a door and walks up to it listening. He slowly opens the door and sees Blair with Cristian. He hears her say, "To hell with Todd, to hell with everybody…" Todd stops watching Blair and goes back into the hall. He sees a can of paint thinner and picks it up. He thinks long and hard to himself. Finally, Todd pours the paint thinner around the door to the room where Blair and Cristian are. He then lights the thinner on fire watching it burn and get brighter and brighter.

When he radios in, the thug hits him on the back of his head and knocks him out. Apparently, checking in was a bad idea. The fake policeman enters the room and tells Vicki and Ben that there has been a change in plans and Ben has to come with them right away.
