Patricia tells class she feels Blake get picked on just because he won’t reveal how he met her earlier.

She offers Blake to talk about his problems with her. He isn’t interested in that.

Sophie and Haydn talks about how everyone thought the kiss seemed so real. They both say it is strange since they don’t even like each other. It seem as if they do like each other a bit anyway even though they don’t admit it.

Steven comes home and sees a Christmas card from Jennifer. He reads it. (Emotional music).
