Louis mentions that Professor Gerald has dropped off of the face of the earth and there hasn't been any activity on his cards or sighting. Hilton tells him that if the person who abducted him can find people to take him from the police hiding him won��t be hard.

Richard asks if this is really ok, and Alice tells him that the one thing she forgot to do is make him feel at home. 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.

Alice reminds her that she told her to persevere, and she reminds her that she��s stubborn. Jacqueline tells her that the report was that when everyone open the door they were so touched that they wanted to cry. Alice tells her that she should get a real relationship instead of 2 timing 2 men.

She tells him that she asked Alice why Professor Gerald did what he did and she told her that she didn��t know so she called him to ask the same question. Bill admits that he doesn��t know.
