Cafeteria. Rory takes her food to a table, but then backs up to tell William off. She says she doesn't appreciate his talking to her or about her. She says she knows he's been telling the laundry-room story. She asked him for coffee, not to get married. People are listening as Rory says she's not stalking William, and that it's hard to ask someone out. She asks if he'd refrain from telling the details of the hilarious laundry-room incident to anyone ever again. William says he wasn't talking about her. There's a girl on the third floor who asked him out a hundred times, baked him a cake, followed him to class, broke into his room, and hid in his closet covered in whipped cream. Rory admits that the girl is pretty whack, and that maybe that is a good story to spread everywhere. William says that he didn't tell anybody about the laundry room. She asks if he could not tell anyone this story as well. She thanks him and leaves, her food still on the table.
MamaLane enters Lane's room. She looks around the clean place. She notices the fake floorboard and opens it. She finds some of Lane's CDs.
Lane comes home.
MamaLane has found all of Lane's hidden treasures: the secret closet, the clothes, the books, and journals. "Is this all?" she asks Lane. Lane kicks open another floorboard and pulls out a suitcase that probably has makeup in it. "That's all," she says. She apologizes. She says she doesn't want to keep secrets from MamaLane. Lane says that her band had this amazing chance to play a really famous club, and she didn't know how to tell MamaLane, who wouldn't approve of the band or the music. "I would have said no," says MamaLane. MamaLane asks how long Lane has had and hidden this collection of stuff. Lane says she started when she was six, the day MamaLane told her that Cookie Monster was one of the seven deadly sins. "Gluttony," MamaLane says. Lane says she wants to please MamaLane so badly, but she can't. She doesn't want something like last night to happen again. She doesn't want to go to her Christian college anymore. She wants to play in her band, be a drummer, go to community college, and stay at home obeying MamaLane's curfew, except for nights when the band practices or plays; that way, she doesn't have to sneak around or lie to MamaLane, and they can both be happy. "Children do not make the rules," MamaLane says. She tells Lane that she can get her own apartment if she wants to live that way. Lane looks confused. MamaLane walks out of the room.
