A handsome sweaty man comes to join her, but she has other ideas in mind.
They go back to a small apartment and have steamy, passionate sex.
Back in 1990s suburbia, Elena is stressed.
The one thing that Elena and Bill dont understand is how Bebe could have afforded an attorney.
Its calledDuo, and it happens to be the same picture we saw Mia crying over in thelast episode.
Elena says its absurd that Izzy would think the woman in that picture is Mia.
You seem very angry.
Is it because she might be helping Bebe?
Or is it because shes in the New YorkTimesand youll never be?
Cool story, kid.
But your actions may have hurt your mentor, Mia.
As the foreshadowing from last week alluded, shes pregnant and very, very scared.
So the girl gives up her courage to confide in her parents and decides to go it alone.
Well, almost alone.
Lexie chickens out in telling her boyfriend, Brian, about the pregnancy.
Nor has she told her best friend, Serena.
But, keeping things consistent with their friendship dynamic, she has entrusted Pearl to be her errand girl.
Most important, its Pearls name that Lexie puts on the medical forms at Planned Parenthood.
Rather, Mia gives Lexie a PG version of the lecture that shes already given Elena.
Mias softer toward her own daughter.
Mia should have trusted her instinct to keep her distance.
Sure, he can do some digging into Mia for her if she has dinner with him that night.
But Jamie wants more.
Then he lets it spill: Will Elena ever own up?
Not for their breakup, he says, but for something (else?)
she did to him.
When she refuses, he hits her with the hard truth.
Youre still the same sad person living a sad life.
You stuck to your plan.
She doesnt go home though.
Instead, we find her asleep in her car the next morning.
But not as shocked as she is to learn another bit of information.
The baby Mia was carrying in that picture?
It was not hers, Mias mother declares.
She was able to figure out Mias secret fairly easily.
As to the largermysteryof who burned down the Richardsons house?
Izzys interest in fire was certainly aglow at the end of this episode.
However, I do wish theyd teach them to clean up their own dishes.
