WPK. Ella walks in the building and Caleb is already on her. Without really listening to Ella, he decides he doesn't want to take any risks and wants to pay Lauren $50,000. Ella tries to reason with him that this might not be a necessary expense, but Caleb has already said his piece. Ella turns around to find David. He wants to talk about his encounter with Detective Rodriguez. Ella gets a little fluttery, since she probably has a good idea what this is about. This is about David now being aware that Ella was lying even to him about what was going on the night of Syd's death. David is sure the private investigator Ella hired to break into Sydney's apartment didn't kill her. He's concerned because he's self-aware of how he can get when he's as drunk as he was on that night. Ella quips that she figures he just ends up in bed with some "double-bagger." Oh, Ella, you are a beacon of awesomeness in a sea of meh. David clarifies that he can get really angry when that drunk. FLASHBACK. Sydney is getting dressed up to go out and talking about it to David who's across the room, but David looks a mess and starts confronting her about sleeping with his dad. He grabs her violently by the arm as she tries to calm him down. He's crying and entirely upset because he says he loved her and he feels used. David calls Sydney a whore and she slaps him across the face. END FLASHBACK. Ella asks David if he really thinks he could've killed Sydney. He says he doesn't know.

Back at the wedding, Jonah's trying to get set up and Riley starts talking about their own wedding and how she wants a band. Jonah disagrees with that idea and makes a veiled remark about not thinking they were considering the other person's feelings on the matter. Just then, one of the bridesmaids comes over to say she wants them to make sure they capture how in love the bride and groom are on this day. Awkward.

Ella walks into Lauren's room looking for her, but she's gone, so she decides to snoop a little bit instead when she notices Lauren has some nice, new lingerie lying about. She walks into Lauren's closet and finds a fairly obvious envelope filled with a stack of hundreds. Lauren appears behind her and asks what Ella's doing, and Ella fires the same question right back at her, gloriously punctuating it by calling Lauren "pretty woman." I am changing Ella's name to Brevity, because she is the soul of wit.
