At CL’s for hot chocolate and doughnuts, Nick tells Faith that the new nanny will free them up for Dad/Daughter time. Nick’s sorry he’s been preoccupied. That’s OK – Mom’s been preoccupied too. Nick barely gets a chance to react when Sharon arrives. Running over, Faith asks for news of Dylan.
In ‘Derek’s’ room, Alex makes a beeline to the bar and whips a couple of mini bottles across the room. Catching them, it’s obvious neither’s as drunk as they seemed downstairs. But we can fix that. Dylan plays off his nervousness and responds to Alex’s kiss.
