He moves to get up to get something to eat, he tells her that if she doesn't eat her stomach will start to rebel. She asks if she can hold him like this later and he agrees.
Roman comes back with a porridge and feed it to her, as per her request. She asks if he will do anything for her, and he asks if there is something weirder than feeding her. She thinks and suddenly asks if they can share a foot bath. She leans into him as they share foot bath, and she tells him that with him experiencing everything is so much better. She mentions that he is being really kind, and he inquires if he normally has a bad temper. She tells him he doesn't but it's almost like he's glowing. He wonders if she's gone nuts from the cold and she tells him she thinks she like him even more now.

Maugham tells him that he has set up a lab for him, and he will provide him one more vial of the monsters blood, and he needs to find a way to kill him, or else he will kill him and his family.
Alice is cuddled on Roma's lap again and she starts worrying about why everyone was going after Roman. He wonders if Professor Gerald went after Alice to find out more of his weaknesses. He starts stroking her hair and smiles down at her. Love is a blossoming more evidently here.
The next day Roman comes to the hospital and tells Alice that he has told her parents not to come back early from their trip. She tells him that her mother would kill her if they had to come home early, and she wondered if they hadn't brought home the wrong baby. Roman told her that if that was the case then her mother was far more unlucky than her. He reminds her that she was being check out that morning, he was going to the police station and giving his statement. Since she should be getting a clean bill of health she should be released and he will pick her up to take her home.
Crystal takes Roman's statement which he sighs. She thanks him for his cooperation, and he tells her since this affects Alice safety he will help in whatever way he can, and he hopes that they find the culprit quickly. When he's about to leave Hilton meets with Roman and asks if he can talk with him.

Hilton tells him that he's worried about all of the incidents surrounding Alice and he's worried. He also mentions that he hasn't been cleared of the suspicion of murder of the couple but he wonders if that murder is also linked to Alice. Roman apologizes and tells him that he doesn't have the answers, and Hilton admits to not expecting any. Hilton admits that he was biased against him before because he doesn't want Alice to get hurt. However, when they opened the freezer and saw him clinging on to her, trying to protect her his opinion changed. He ask Roman if he loves Alice, which he confirms. Hilton explains that he and Alice grew up with their parents grooming them to be a certain way but they both rebelled. Hilton asks that he shouldn't hurt her and protects her not matter what.

Alice laughs and says that he probably said that of course he will take care of his woman. They laugh a little and she gets serious all of a sudden and asks Roman if he thought about what would have happened if the police hadn't arrived in time. She mentions that they would have freezed and he tells her that she would have freezed not him. She calls him a cockroach and then says that all they would need to do is thaw her out and give her a transfusion of his blood and she would be fine. and he tells her that she's smart. She asks if Roman isn't scared of becoming a dormant body again, and he replies that he would just need to wait for another unlucky person to have a car accident to revive him. Alice starts laughing and when he asks what about she asks if he could have kissed an ugly person. He asks her what if the dormant body that had kissed her was an ugly person and she got nauseous.
When they get home Roman is peeling an apple and Alice is browsing the web and a website likens her life to final destination. She mentions that they don't know that she has a 1000 year old pet.

Bill is at the soccer field watching the players and thinks back to the conversation that he had with Professor Gerald and he wonders how he didn't see it. Had he known he would have tried to stop it with all of his might. He calls Alice (who is suffering from food poisoning... I think Roman should leave the cooking to Alice and asks if she's ok now. She confirms that she is fine, and when he apologizes for not going to the hospital she tells him that she's in the hospital so much that it's redundant for people to come see her. She thanks him for guessing the passcode, Hilton had told her about it. Bill explains that he was lucky Professor likes using anniversaries as passwords. She sarcastically tells him that she should thank him then. Bill tells her that Annie is really sick so he wanted to run some test on her because she was saved by the monster.

Richard mentions that Roman was only staying there temporarily, and she asks him if he doesn't want to feel at home even if he's not staying long. Alice reminds Richard that he had said that Roman wasn't in a rush to find his enemy which means he's grown attached.
