Eden said that she wanted to put an end to that part of her life. Tony tells her that they need to go to New York and see if Vinny will back Eden up on her story for the police. Eden seems pleased, but then Bill walks in and says, "what the heck, I'll tag along too. So where are we going?" That pleased look is not there anymore.

In trying to persuade Josh into going to Italy, Josh gets offended when Marah tells Josh that he is "an old stick in the mud who is world weary and doesn't want to go on what might be the most amazing adventure of his life."
