Next morning she wakes still in her clothes and make-up from the night before, having passed out on top of Roland's bed after mistaking his hotel room for hers. Roland is in the bed naked except for socks, and proceeds to make much fun of the situation as if it were something more, which embaresses Moira, and Johnny, who knows Moira is repulsed by Roland, but upsets Jocelyn as she believes everyone finds Roland as attractive as she does. Alexis drives a wedge between David and Patrick. Patrick becomes involved in David's new business and plans to write grants to secure additional funding.
