Crimson gets a sex toy package.  Nina is at work, fantasizing about Franco (dressed up, tells her he still loves her…kisses her and clears the desk, laying her back gently).  Maxie wakes Nina, who is actually asleep at her desk – she has news on the new bridal line; starts talking about Nathan and how she will never be alone again, going on and on about her future.  Nina cries; she is afraid she will never find love again; regrets breaking up with Franco.  Maxie reminds her of all the problems they had, the baby thing, etc., but Nina says she’s accepted all that; he doesn’t want a baby, she can’t have one.  Maxie tries to encourage her, saying she can find someone else.  Nina says, all these naked men, and she can only think of Franco.  

Elizabeth buys a toaster for their new house; by coincidence, Franco buys her a toaster for a housewarming gift.  Jake is sad; Franco talks to him about his dad – Elizabeth is impressed.  Franco talks about Nina then and admits that he is confused, terribly.  After he finishes venting, they sit down at the table; Elizabeth tells him he has been a good friend… she can see that he has changed.  Franco kisses her!  Morgan tells Kiki he was a jerk to break up with her; admits that Ava convinced him to… says he thinks he’s better or he wouldn’t be there (he wants to try again).  He tells Kiki she is all that kept him going; she is his light.  Dillon comes back from the drug store to find Morgan there; he tells Kiki to take her time to sort her feelings out; says they can hang out and tells her to text away.  He leaves.  

Sam and Jason break into Ava’s room to find evidence; they find a card from an art broker – Sam calls and finds out Ava missed the appointment.  They discuss the possibility that Nikolas and Ava are having an affair.  Huxley comes back to the room where Ava and Nikolas are being held; he insists the statue is a fake; Ava swears she didn’t know.  Nikolas makes up a story… the fake was to sell to a broker; the original is in the hotel room.  Huxley goes to her room, not knowing Sam and Jason are there.  He finds nothing; they follow him.  Nikolas and Ava, left tied up, manage to get out of the ropes and Ava tries to pick the lock on the door.
