When Byron didn't turn up for a second day in a row, Alison called the police to file a missing persons report. Serena & Ruben both came to offer what little they know about it to the detectives.

How many times has Alison been involved in shooting a scene just like this? She's having a hard time accepting this is all real, that Byron really is missing, not just off on a spontaneous holiday. The cops search the house for clues, but there is nothing at all, no sign of where Byron has gone. So she calls the studio, calls the crew managers, calls the actors, shooting is temporarily suspended, until they can figure out what is going on.

It's so weird, coming home in the morning. When she gets in, Kelly is still in her pajamas, making breakfast...it can't still be that early can it? "Shouldn't you be at work?" Alison asks & Kelly rolls her eyes. "It's Friday, I don't work on Friday remember? I guess Byron didn't show up?" "Is it Friday?" Alison answers with a question, "I had no idea," she says & sits down to eat with her girlfriend, and tells her Byron is still missing & the movie on hold until he comes back or the studio gives it to another director.

Alison follows Kelly around like a puppy while she cleans up the breakfast dishes. "What are you doing today?" she asks Kelly, holding her face & looking into her dark brown eyes, gleaming now with a capricious light. "I was just going to go to the library...but since you're home, I thought we could just make love all day...I miss you, Ali," she sighs a little & smiles. Alison doesn't say anything, just picks Kelly up & carries her to bed.
