Everyone is waking up with the same thought: did that really happen, at the party? Gabrielle has forgotten Jason's declaration of love. (The reason you get trashed is so you can say these things, but evidently it doesn't help you to remember them.) Jason tries to say it a second time but Dominic arrives, forestalling him. He's back and he wants Gabrielle. Who does Gabrielle want? Evan wants an apology from Alex. It's the right thing to do, he argues - she hit him. He's searching and hoping for an admission that her outburst came out of a pent-up, frustrated, volcanic lust - but Alex has other things on her mind. Like the weight of knowing about Nathan's blow job at the party. Nathan doesn't want to tell Kelly, they're getting on so well, and Alex doesn't want to tell Kelly, it'd destroy her. Someone's got to do the right thing, it might as well be Evan - Beaten-up Richie is healing at home, surrounded by a supportive group of friends, Simon, and his boyfriend Nick. Will feels crowded out from his best friend, impotent, the spare prick at the wedding. He's pissed off, an anger that leads towards destructive words and actions.
