She tells him she remembers, and he says a year ago today they first danced together. They talk about the road they took to get to where they are. She is happy he remembered. He says he had no choice to remember falling in love with her. He asks her to dance and she says all of the next ones. They dance together and kiss.

Serena isn't interested in what she has to say.Nicole tells her that her boss is interested and it is a great story. Serena says no one will believe it. Nicole tells her that she cares what Eric thinks and will make sure he says what a disgusting person she is. She arrives back at the apartment to see him putting up boxes. She tells him he wasn't supposed to start without her, and says it's good to make room for the next ones. She tries to open the drawer with the ring in it, but he stops her.

Eric and Eve finish eating. He looks for the old picture, and Eve sees a picture of Serena. She says she is beautiful and can tell how Eric feels about her. He tells Eve that she betrayed him, and she apologizes.Eve asks if Serena was a part of what happened to him and Nicole and he says yes. He tells her that people who commit crimes face consequences. He brings up Jennifer, and Eve complains about her. He tells her that Jennifer is his friend and he won't have her trashing her in his home. Eve says she is glad he told her that in a direct manner, but she complains again about Jennifer. She stops herself, and Eric says talking about it is really brave. Eve disagrees and says she needs to change her behavior. She says Eric helped her by making her realize she needs to think more about Paige and less about herself. He apologizes for not finding the picture. Eve says she should go home and think and thanks him for his help again. She leaves.

J.J. is at home and Jennifer enters and asks him what's wrong. He says he ran into Paige and she is hanging out with some bad people. Jennifer tells him to let her go. J.J. thinks there is nothing he can say, but there is something he can do! He calls Kyle and tells him that he can have Paige if he wants her. He says he wants to talk to him about business and maybe he could help him.

Kyle comes back to see Paige and asks her what that was all about. She complains about J.J. She tells him she doesn't want to talk about him and wants to talk about them instead. He wants to go somewhere private, but she says she has to get back to her dorm. She says she will call him at another time.

Daniel tells her what is in there isn't for tonight. He kisses her, and she gets excited about being there with him. She tries to open the drawer again and he stops her. They make out.

Serena arrives back at her hotel and has a flashback of hearing Nicole asking Eric to keep a secret from Daniel. Meanwhile Eric has flashbacks of telling her he loves her. Serena wonders what would happen if Daniel found out what Nicole was keeping from him.

So, today was kind of boring again, but it wasn't bad. I hate that this whole situation is building up to be Nicole's fault yet again. I'm so tired of her always having to be unhappy, ugh. What do you think?
