Zoe creeps into the room, drawn by the lure of the evil glitter pot. It must be evil; it's the only explanation I can come up with for all the trouble it's causing. Zoe's little hand slowly stretches out toward the evil thing, getting closer, and close...and WHOMP! Grace slaps at Zoe's hand and barks at her not to touch her things, and to leave her room immediately. Zoe looks as if Grace just hoofed her in the slats, and backs slowly toward the door. "Is that glitter?" Lily asks, suddenly captivated by its twinkling evil presence. She reaches for it, asking whether she may see. She rolls the pot over in her fingers, seduced by it, and muses, "It's the good kind." Grace feels the cold knife of guilt plunge into her heart yet one more time. "Do you think..." Lily asks quietly, still staring at the glitter, "do you think Carla could've taken something out of Jessie's room?" Grace looks at her for a second, and then concedes, "It's...possible." Grace glances at the glitter, gives her head a shake, and quickly changes her mind, saying, "No. No, it's not possible." Grace takes the glitter from Lily and puts it back on her desk. The doorbell rings. "What?!" Lily asks, checking her watch. "Rick's here!" Zoe bellows from downstairs.
"Okay, so what exactly did it say?" Lily asks as she leads Rick into the kitchen. "What did it say? Are ya kidding me?" Rick retorts, all worked up. "I'm just trying to understand..." Lily says softly. Rick, agitated, starts spouting off about how "they" hired a private investigator with "surveillance" and "transcripts" and "lists of where he's been and who he's been with. I mean, I'm in there! My name. Me!" Lily looks stunned. I'm a little surprised myself, since we saw the same page he did, and it didn't say much of anything. Rick visibly exhales, then starts rifling through the cupboards. Opening and slamming the cupboard doors, he rants on about Karen and how far she's taking things, and what the investigators could turn up. Lily jumps at the noise. "Did I not see some scotch around here at some point?" Rick finally mutters. "Oh, not in there; that's where I hide chocolate," Lily says, in a pitch to relate to Everywoman. I'm not buying it. She moves to another cupboard, but can't find the hooch. Then she remembers that her mom drank it at Thanksgiving. Rick rubs his forehead and asks, a little shirtily, "What about this don't you understand?" "So, was it lying there?" Lily asks, unwittingly stumbling on Rick's underhanded activity. Rick takes the Fifth. "Did she show it to you?" she asks incredulously. Rick, once again, takes the Fifth, as the camera zooms in on his sneaky little face, and his eyes get all shifty. The phone rings.
