because the lives of the wicked should be made brief

[Yes, let's go. They will actually head back to Doc and Rebekah's and Lizzie can meet Alice's little brother and Jo can coordinate for the aftermath. She's ... doing it behind closed doors which Lizzie may consider suspicious, but for now, Doc and Rebekah are entertaining.

Eventually, Alice perches on the corner of the couch and finally responds to Archer's text:]

Yeah, that'd be fun.

[She's trying to play it cool, but she is not cool at all so it could come off as not caring over text.]

I'm gonna be in New York over break and staying with my dad and Rebekah, and all my friends are going to other places so I will be very free.

[That also does not make you sound cool, Alice.]

( Lizzie knows something is up because her dad denied her Facetime. So, she alerted her sister that the adults are acting up, but is still happy to meet Henry. )

So what you're saying, is I have weeks to get this just right.

That is not what I'm saying.

[But that is a little vague, so maybe she should be more specific.]

New Year's Eve. You plan the date, and I'll meet you. Start the new year with a clean slate?

You'll be the Sally to my Harry?

Does that mean we have to wait like ... twenty years to date? Because that kind of defeats the purpose.

[She definitely wants to date you now.]

No, the big New Years Eve scene. Not saying our date starts at midnight, but if it ensures a year of our kind of bliss, I'm not opposed. And, Alice, you deserve all the bliss.

[That does make her smile, before realizing she's not alone and swallowing it back.]

Well, if it's a good date, I would definitely consider letting you kiss me at midnight.
