Taj asks Lori to choose the ring Nina might like from a store brochure. She answers that maybe if he can't decide what she'd like, he shouldn't be buying her a ring anyway.

He tells her about the call he received, which means somebody knows about them and insists she meet him later to work out what to do.

Lori meets Taj in the school corridor and shows him she took Boyd's clothes while he was in the shower. She feels he doesn't deserve a towel, but she's left him an item to preserve his modesty.

He insists he's learned his lesson and she throws his clothes down, but the skirt's so short he can't bend down to pick it up.

Nina wonders how she'd risk something so perfect for something so stupid. They just hope that Taj and Lori will understand.

Joe and Lyn are discussing their worry and sleeplessness when Michelle rings. Joe reacts very angrily and Michelle asks to speak to Lyn. She tells her that the only way Connor and she can be together is to get married for which she needs their permission. Joe breaks in from the other line, says no way and so Michelle hangs up.

In the Coffee Shop Boyd and Summer are having an argument over money. Jack tells Lori he thinks he hasn't been giving her enough time lately and tries to work up to telling her. When he gets flustered he goes to the counter to get a drink and overhears Boyd and Summer's argument. Boyd uses the phrase 'dirty little secret' so Jack confronts him. Summer says it was just a joke and Boyd admits it was them. They didn't know any secrets, were just playing as they were bored.
