In his room, Ryan and Kendall discuss how they think Trey should let them be more involved with her case. The attorney arrives, asking Kendall if she’s ready for her polygraph. Trey explains that even though the tests are not allowed in court, he’ll get word out that Kendall has passed, if she does. Ryan asks about the possibility of her flunking and Kendall starts to lose her temper. Ryan reiterates wanting to be more involved in her case and Trey advises against it. Kendall makes jokes about setting the polygraph office and court house on fire if she fails. Ryan lets her know again that he believes she is innocent, but that these tests record heart rate and emotions and knowing how worked up she gets, it could be dangerous. He thinks they should rethink the lie detector test and let the forensic guys do their work first. Trey tries to get Ryan out of the room and once he does, Kendall tells him she trusts Ryan with everything. Once alone, Trey tells Kendall she should take the polygraph and lie to Ryan about it. She realizes he has a dark side and tells him she’ll think about it as he goes to leave. Ryan tells her they can talk about something other than her case and shows her he bought the maps for their bike trip, just as he promised, which makes her smile. He thinks they could head south before going west, hitting Miami and Fort Lauderdale. She tells him there’s somewhere she wants to go. When she worked at Enchantment a memo came in from a place called Racoon Junction, Tennessee. They have no Enchantment outlet, no cable TV and no Erica Kane. Both find the place idea. Ryan finds the place on the map and thinks he could buy Kendall the most luxurious home there for very little money. She’s not feeling optimistic and says she’ll most likely end up in a jail cell with an Erica fan. He reassures her that they’ll get her out of this and find out who really set the fire.
