Stone Cold Fox

Collin cancels his lunch with Bea because he is in a meeting with his father. Bea worries the meeting is about her. Syl offers to get lunch with Bea instead. Bea feels Syl has something to tell her, so they get lunch. Syl reveals the conversation between Collin and Hayes is about Bea, but Collin is defending Bea to his family. Bea is thrilled, but she questions whether she can be friends with and trust Syl. Syl reveals, after some prodding, that Collin has her looking for engagement rings, implying Collin will propose to Bea soon. Bea is excited, but she tempers her response to maintain some distance with Syl. Still, Bea is also excited to potentially begin a friendship with Syl, even if she may not always trust her. They part ways, and Bea plans for the symphony performance she and Collin are attending that night. Bea worries about her living situation with a man named Morris, who Bea fears might demand sexual favors if Bea does not leave soon. When she meets with Collin, Collin tells Bea he reserved the family’s Newport home for Memorial Day, and Bea wonders if Collin will propose then.
