When Hudson returns to Allie’s house after returning June to school, Anne confronts him. She is angry that he took June away so quickly and asks questions about her happiness and well-being. Hudson tells Anne that June is happy. Anne then tells Allie that she has to pretend to be Hudson’s girlfriend and go to the party. She desperately wants to be part of June’s life and sees this as the only way to make Caroline agree.

Hudson insists that they can’t force Allie to go to the party. Allie tells Anne that they should respect Lina’s wishes but finally agrees to go to the party to satisfy Anne. After Allie goes upstairs, Hudson asks Anne why Allie always looks exhausted.

Anne admits that Allie is depressed but is seeing a therapist and is getting back into training. She warns Hudson to be careful with Allie. She knows that he is partially doing this to get Allie to forgive him but is adamant that he can’t hurt her all over again. She threatens to tell Allie a secret she has kept for 10 years: She saw Hudson secretly talking with Lina before the Classic, on the morning of their car accident.
