Though Helena agonized about Alice seeing her friends particularly Dana she knew she couldnt hold on to her by force and she had to let Alice do this, and hopefully she would come back to her.

When Alice got to her mothers apartment she wasnt sure how she was going to handle Lenora. Alice knew she had change a lot in the last six months. And she didnt know how her mom would handle it. Between Alices breakdown and her new life with Helena, the girl who felt the need to make everyone laugh and happy had changed into a women didnt give a damn what other thought. She no longer felt the need to entertain others and if people didnt except her for herself well the ***** with them. She knew she was a colder and harder person but sometime you have to change to survive.

Lenora knew it was wrong of her tricking her daughter to come back to Hollywood. But she felt she had to give it at least a shot to make things right for her daughter. She was willing to accept that if Alice went back to London it was meant to be. But she felt there were just too many things Alice ran away from that needed to be settled before for she was willing to let her daughter go completely.

Lenora for her part was shock when she saw her daughter. Her daughter now walked with an air of sophistication she didnt remember noticing in the past. She also notice the happy sparkle that once was in her daughters eyes had been replaced with a more serious look. Lenora wondered if the old Alice was still in there somewhere or if that Alice had been completely destroyed and this was the way Alice would be forever. She hoped not, and maybe her old friends could help find the old Alice again. But she also knew it was because of those friends that Alice had changed so much if the first place.

Dana could not believe how unbelievably nervous and scared she was. When Shane called her to tell her Alice was back in town and wanted to meet with everyone, she knew this was probably her one and only chance to make things right with Alice. And to be honest she didnt know if she was going to be able to do it. After Alice left she and Lara broke up less then a week later. Lara didnt want to be with somebody who was in love with somebody else. And thinking back Dana still wonders why she gave up the love of her life for another person. She first tried to say it was because she was so inexperienced in relationships that she didnt know what she had. But after more time passed she realized she was just being selfish. When she and Lara broke up the first time, Dana had never gotten over the one she let go. She just wanted to see what would happen if she followed through with that relationship and she always assumed Alice would always be there. Deep down she knew her future was not with Lara, but she figured after she finished sowing her wild oats she would then go back to Alice and she would be able to settle for life. She knew she broke Alices heart but she always figured she would make it up to her in the future. It didnt hit her how completely she had destroyed Alices heart until it was too late to do anything. And then the next thing she knew Alice had moved to London with Helena.
