Arlington University at night. Claire and Gretchen are in their beds, but neither is asleep. Gretchen asks if Claire's afraid she's going to kiss attack her in her sleep, and Claire smiles and then says, "Maybe." She looks happy, but she seriously tells Gretchen they should talk about this. Gretchen sits up and says it was stupid, impulsive, and bad. But Claire breaks in saying, "It wasn't bad. You're a good kisser. But I don't want to mess this up." She tells "Gretch" (she really calls her that, in case this storyline didn't already make you want to hurl) that she's the first friend she's had since she left Texas, which is a big deal for her and this totally ordinary life she's been chasing. (By "chasing" she means jumping out of windows, of course. Because that's so normal.) Claire really likes Gretchen a lot. Gretchen: "Just ... not in that way?" Before she can answer, though, some shrouded ninjas break in, and Claire lurches into full-on attack mode, taking one down. Becky unhoods herself, and tells Claire she doesn't have to go all Buffy on them, since they're just kidnapping them. Claire apologizes, and Becky asks if they want to be Alpha Chis or not. Gretchen asks if that's a trick question, and Claire asks where they're taking them. Becky says it wouldn't be a very good kidnapping if she told them, would it? She covers the girls faces (or, actually, the camera, but I think that's the effect they were going for). Commercial.
