She muses that he keeps pushing her away because he loves her. He calls them co-dependent and declares first loves don't last for a reason.

When Liz gets riled up, Lucky leaves to get her doctor, which sets her off more because he's walking away yet again. Alone, Elizabeth grabs her lipstick out of her bag.
