Beth drops by and tells Phil that Doug has sorted things so that now she's apprenticed directly to him, rather than to Willis Construction. Beth awkwardly tells Phil that she had a great time with him yesterday.

BETH: So...where do we go from here, you and me?
PHIL: Yeah...um...I honestly don't think I can answer that. My whole life's up in the air at the moment.
BETH: I'm not trying to hold you to ransom or anything. I just need to know.
PHIL: Beth, I like you far too much to make promises that I might not be able to keep.
BETH: I'm not after promises, it wouldn't be fair. But, are we having a relationship or not?
PHIL: Um...I have a problem in Julie. We might be separated but I still care about her. I can't commit myself to you or to anyone until I resolve my feelings.
BETH: Is there a chance you'll get back together?
PHIL: I honestly don't know. The odds are stacked against us.
BETH: Would it help if we didn't see each other?
PHIL: No! I want to see you - very much.

Annalise is being interviewed. The interviewer looks at her CV and notes that she has very little experience. He notices her name and asks if she's a relative of Fiona Hartman (she was the partner of one of his late clients). Annalise lies and says she isn't. She goes on to sell herself well, saying she's really good at answering the phone and dealing with people. The interviewer invites her to continue the interview over lunch at a nearby hotel. Annalise is offended and rants at the interviewer for not looking past her body. When she's finished ranting, the interviewer says that their clients are sophisticated and conservative. But Annalise is intelligent, motivated and spirited - it's the image that's all wrong. Annalise says she'll change her image. The interviewer tells her to go away and work on it, and if she convinces him, he'll consider her for a PA position in a month's time.

Julie hammers on the door and Beth answers it.

JULIE: Well. I've always suspected you had the morals of an alley cat!
BETH: I beg your pardon?
JULIE: You didn't waste much time, did you! I suppose you've had your eye on him for some time, just waiting for the opportunity!
BETH: I really don't think you've got the right...
JULIE: Just because your fiance cheated on you, doesn't give you the right to wreck other people's marriages!
BETH:(getting cross) Now wait a minute! I didn't take Philip away from you! I never had so much as a coffee with him until you booted him out of his home. And I'm not stopping him from going back to you, that's entirely up to Philip.
JULIE: Don't you tell me that you haven't been playing up to him!
BETH: All I've done is offer him some friendship. Which is much more than he gets from you. It's appalling the way you've treated him!
JULIE: The way *I've* treated him?!
BETH: He deserves better! He's been a good husband, and a great father. Everyone knows that. In fact, given what he's had to put up with, the man's been a saint! And what thanks does he get from you?! You kicked him out!
JULIE: You've only heard his side of the story!
BETH: Oh, save it! You're wasting your breath! You can't make me feel guilty for something I didn't do. You're responsible for your own life. I didn't play any part in your marriage breaking up.
