## Plot

Chris and the fake Isabelle are at a gazebo at Make out Point in Mont Blonc. But when Chris goes for a kiss Clair and the real Isabelle appear to reveal the truth and Clair dispels the construct. Claire apologizes but Chris seems a bit under surprised at the realization. Izzy pulls Chris aside and tells him that the two of them shouldn't be friends anymore because she wants him to be able to be happy with Holly thinking she is the reason they've been having so much of a rough patch. Izzy then teleports away wanting Chris to never talk to her again and be happy with Holly. Chris is in tears when Claire comes back and tries to comfort him. She stresses that neither of them wants this and how sorry she is her plan led to this. She then asks Chris why he wasn't shocked when the truth of the situation came out and Chris reveals he knew it wasn't really Izzy because the construct was Left-Handed, and he wanted to see what it was like to be with Isabelle trying to justify his actions to himself feeling that if it wasn't really her it wasn't technically cheating. Chris leaves in tears while Claire is left with remorse and regret.

Three weeks later Chris is in Holly's bedroom while she is packing for college. Holly talks nonstop about her college prep and mentions how Chris told her that Izzy moved Canada to excuse why they don't see each other anymore. Holly talks about them moving in together with Chris teleporting back and forth, but Chris insists he wants to stay and live in Seatle. The two keep arguing with Holly asking what's wrong but Chris just pushes her away and she keeps packing on her own.

A short bit later Chris is still sulking in his room when Christina and Jessica come in wanting to talk to him about Holly. Chris doesn't want to talk and claims it's just a rough patch, but Jessica insists that if things have soured and their relationship is falling apart that it's not good to stay with her just because of how long they've been together. Jessica asks when the last time the two had sex was, but Chris explains it's been about 2 months because Holly only ever wanted to have sex with him as a girl and he lost interest in it and Holly doesn't seem to want to sleep with him as himself. Christina insists that Chris and Holly just need to find that spark again but after hearing how bad things have gotten starts to see that Jessica may be right. The two sisters tell Chris he needs to think things over and decide if he really wants to stay with Holly and fix things with her or if he's lost chemistry with her and wants to move on to Isabelle. Jessica and Christina leave while Chris lays down on his bed to think things over.
