At the Club, Colin cautions Jill, but she spots Lauren and rushes over to tell her Michael is having an affair. Lauren argues, but Jill can't be dissuaded.

"You're the one Michael's having the affair with!" Michael appears. Jill confronts him. Lauren tries to explain. Jill calls Avery a blonde succubus. Avery tells Michael they should come clean.
