Plotline[]
Primary[]
Paige wakes Alex up in her bed - Paige spent the night on the floor - and as the two girls awkwardly prepare for school, they try to avoid what happened last night as in, the fact that they kissed. Alex shrugs it off. Paige also is thinking about the scene with Alex's mom's boyfriend the night before. She doesn't know what they are or what that kiss meant. All she knows is that she's not freaked. Paige is. Paige is not supposed to be into women but Kevin reminds her—neither is Alex. He convinces Paige to be true to herself and to her feelings.
Secondary[]
Emma is furious at Snake's scene with Daphne at the movie premiere the night before. So she feels compelled to spill the beans about Snake and Ms. Hatzilakos. Spike loses it. Not over one little kiss, but because Snake asked Emma to keep a secret and that is unforgivable. She kicks Snake out, disgusted that he would use Emma like that.
