Steve picks up the card and remarks that they are from that jerk Alex. Tripp can’t believe Alex thinks flowers are going to fix things after Alex played God with Stephanie’s life. Steve comments that at least now Stephanie knows what a self centered creep Alex is. Tripp hopes that Stephanie does better next time around.
Chad reminds Stephanie that he’s the one who showed up and asked if she was still interested. Stephanie asks if this was too soon for him but Chad assures that last night was amazing.

Chad has no idea how Abigail forgave her. Stephanie suggests it was how much they loved each other.

Gwen asks why he slept with her and if it was a drunken mistake.
Allie tells Wendy that Chanel went to stay with her mother for awhile. Wendy knew they were fighting after she left yesterday but she didn’t know it was that bad. Allie assures that it was. Wendy asks if they are just on a break. Allie admits she doesn’t know since Chanel left pretty abruptly and they didn’t negotiate terms.

Chad and Stephanie kiss in bed. Stephanie hopes that takes away any doubts he has about his timing or regrets. Stephanie understands why he asked though since she has on the rebound, technically.

Sarah says not this time and shows him the divorce papers. Sarah declares that once they are filed, she and Xander are over for good.

Xander brings up Jack making her choose. Gwen says she doesn’t like ultimatums. Xander talks about what Gwen gave up for him.

Chanel remarks that she should’ve known Paulina would be like this. Paulina argues that Chanel knows she doesn’t need sympathy and hugs but a place to figure out what just happened.

Allie admits that she’s hungover as she and Alex went out drinking last night. Chanel says that makes sense considering everything she’s going through. Allie says Chanel is here because she hurt her, but Allie thought Chanel left because she hurt her. Chanel responds that she’s been thinking and admits she was hurt but that kept her from seeing how much she had hurt Allie.

Allie says she’s sorry too and they hug. Chanel says they screwed up and it happens. Allie says that when she saw Chanel and Johnny together, she just got crazy.

Stephanie gathers her things and goes to leave the house but stops and retrieves Alex’s letter from the trash and opens it to read it.

Chad remembers the door being left open. Alex guesses that slipped his mind in the heat of the moment and now he’s wearing the same clothes as last night, so he guesses Chad spent the night.
