Elliot flashes back again, to the point where Lana discovers Jason and Kate’s affair and discusses it with Elliot. She wakes up on Elliot’s couch and watches him sleep, thinking about the crazy plan they came up with the previous night—to invite them to Aura and reveal their betrayal. For the first time, she sees Elliot’s true self and how much he loves her. She also realizes that she loves him, too. She decides to leave Jason, but when she reaches out to wake Elliot and tell him, she sees his notebook. At first, she assumes it is just a rendering of their plan, but when she reads further back, she sees everything he has written and kept track of.
Lana goes for a walk, disturbed by what she saw in his journal. He recorded so much of their conversations, her thoughts, and even her dreams. In addition, she found a list of Jason and Kate’s meetings and realizes how long he’s known about the affair. He has made a list of ways to expose the affair to her and a list of ways to get rid of Jason. Most recently, she finds a bizarre, detailed plan he has written for her to fake her death, written as a play, which she finds unsettling.
