Hayden arrives at the hotel room where her mysterious contact told her to come pick up the papers; it’s Diane… Nicolas sits in a chair inside the room.  He looks pissed.  Laura and Lulu walk into Wyndemere and Elizabeth tells them she found something; but then she says she may be being paranoid.  Maxie tries to talk to Griffin about being in the upcoming ‘real men’ issue of Crimson, but he wants nothing to do with it; when Maxie asks him why he’s being so cold, he tells her it’s because of her boyfriend.  Diane tells Hayden she doesn’t like being misled like this; Nicolas asks to speak to Hayden alone.  Parker tells Cristina that she caught wind of this guy snooping around the campus asking about her professors from last semester; she’s concerned.  Cristina assures her that the investigation is over.  Parker touches her semi-intimately when she grabs for her purse; she apparently still cares for Cristina. 

Elizabeth and Lulu both tell Laura that she should throw the key away and forget about Helena… but she is insistent that she must know what it is for and what it means.  Michael comes to talk to Anna, asking her for information on where Carlos is so he can try to find Sabrina.  She doesn’t have any information for him; Griffin is at her door when Michael goes to leave.  Hayden has an explanation; she claims she was just preparing, in case it looks like he is going to lose ELQ – she had Diane draw up papers transferring ownership to her.  Nicolas appears to buy her story; he tells her he is there to change his will for her.  Parker tells Cristina that she does still care about her; she needs to know that she’s going to be alright – Christina tells her she doesn’t know if she ever will again.  Maxie talks to Nathan about Griffin acting weird; he acts oblivious.  They decide they need to go home, because he ‘should be in bed’ – it’s his last day of medical restriction. 

Anna shows Griffin pictures of Duke and talks to him about their love for each other; she cries as she tells him about their last day together.  Laura asks Elizabeth why she’s being so quiet… she tells her she’s just contemplating – says she understands her desire to know – sometimes, it’s just better to know the truth.  When they leave, she gets back on Hayden’s computer; the search results show a Naomi Dreyfus-Berlin (Elizabeth thinks that name sounds familiar).  Hayden kisses Nicolas and tells him she’s glad they had this ‘misunderstanding’; he doesn’t look thrilled as she walks out the door.  He questions Diane about Hayden’s intentions… she suggests he not sign the documents if he has any doubts about his wife.  Nicolas decides to table any changes to his will for now. 

When Hayden gets home she tells Elizabeth she is going to have her and her boys kicked out; Elizabeth tells her she is the one who will be leaving – and she won’t be coming back.  When Parker goes to leave, she kisses Cristina goodbye.  Lulu and Laura find a relatively new trunk up in the attic; the key turns the lock.
