Abigal’s not sure she can make peace with Gwen. Jack can’t stand watching what the hate and anger is doing to Abigail. She gets it but compared to what she did… She trails off as Gwen arrives at Alice’s. There’s tension. Gwen knows she did truly terrible things and hurt all of them. She did the worst to Abigail. She admits to drugging her champagne and talks about sleeping with Chad. She regrets it deeply and apologizes for all of it. Abigail shrugs and calls her a pathological liar. “Talk is cheap.” Jack urges Abigail to apologize and instead, Abby recounts some of the things Gwen has done. She does admit she started the fight at the gravesite and went too far when she kidnapped her and threatened to drug her with the same drug she gave to her. Jack sighs in relief. He commends them both on their sincerity and asks them to shake on it. Gwen puts out her hand and Abigail looks around stonily. Jack asks if she wants to be consumed by rage always. She doesn’t. She needs Gwen to swear on her life that she didn’t murder her grandmother. Gwen looks from Jack to Abigail and says, “I…oh God.” She throws up all over Abigail’s legs and feet. Abigail calls that one hell of a way to avoid the truth. She takes off and Gwen apologizes. It wasn’t a stunt, she swears. Jack gets her water as Gwen looks at her phone. Jack says, “Maybe it was something you ate.” Gwen says, “Maybe I’m pregnant.”
