| - At school, Clare approaches Eli in writing class, and Eli is reading her edit on his story. Clare apologizes for scaring Eli last night by talking to Fitz. Eli tells it's okay, and goes back to reading her edit. Clare starts to stress about how she edited it, but Eli is impressed by skills and how much the story improved. Clare hugs Eli and tells him that nothing will come between them and Eli promises her to never fight again. Clare later checks her e-mail, and sees that Fitz has e-mailed her multiple times about sermons, God, and how worried he is about Eli. Clare is freaked out tremendously. After school, she goes straight to The Dot and confronts Fitz. Fitz tells her that he's concerned about Eli and Clare pointedly tells him she doesn't need his concern. She's worried that she's stalking him and Fitz reveals that he was in an Internet cafe until the wee hours in the morning. He was bored and he couldn't sleep at home. Clare asks him why and Fitz what does she care? Clare probes but Fitz tells her that she said it herself: they aren't friends. He gets back to work and Clare leaves. Later at Clare's house, Clare's talking to Eli about the huge storm outside and she hears the doorbell ring. She opens the door and Fitz is standing outside, soaking wet and bruises on his face. He says he has nowhere else to go. Clare brings him inside and Fitz tells her he fell off his bike. Clare doesn't buy it. Fitz asks to say for a bit and Clare resistances but reluctantly agrees. She offers to put his wet hoodie in the dryer and as Fitz is removing it, she sees his bruises on his chest. Fitz dodges the question about how he got it and asks to watch TV. Clare gives Fitz a long look before heading to the laundry room. The rain stops, and Clare turns off the tv and demands the truth about his bruises. Fitz explains that his step-brother gave them to him. His step-brother was/is abusive towards him and his parents apparently do not care. Clare runs off to fetch his hoodie and Fitz thanks her and asks what Eli has done to end up with someone as amazing as Clare. Clare tells him he needs to go straight home after it's day. She sees Fitz to the door and Fitz thanks her for her generosity. He tells her that in juvie, that Clare was all he could think about. Clare rolls her eyes and thinks this is all an act, to which Fitz denies. He says to Clare he has feelings for her and Clare shuts him down, telling him she's with Eli and Eli loves her. Fitz says Eli loves no one and that he's seriously messed up. He knows he came at Eli with a knife, but he admits it and he changed and that Eli will never. He says that he and Clare have a spiritual connection. Clare is creeped extremely, and just then Eli comes knocking at the door. Clare runs off and tries to drag Fitz away but just then Eli comes in gushing about her edit and he sees Fitz standing with Clare. Eli is speechless and Clare explains the situation. Eli dismisses them as more lies and Clare says he couldn't just leave him there in rain, anyone with a heart would do the same. Fitz interjects wanting to talk and Eli wants nothing to do with him and he storms out. Fitz yells after him that he and Clare have a connection. Clare hands Fitz a phone and tells him to tell the chaplain to pick him up with she cleans up the mess he made. The chaplain picks Fitz up, and Clare approaches Eli who's in his hearse with his head down. Clare apologizes for calling him heartless and Eli says he deserves it. He's crying heavily and says he feels Clare slipping away and he wants her to promise him to never go away. Clare says yes, and she cradles Eli in her arms. The next day at school, Eli comes up to Clare with his final edit of his story. He reveals he changed the ending yet again, after he and Clare talked. He has the The Hero, who's been trying protect The Chick from the Big Bad frustrated that he could never protect her. And he realizes what he has to do: kill The Chick and drink her blood and together they'll be one. Clare's response to the ending is..."oh." Eli thinks it's brilliant and says that Clare was in the inspiration. Clare's a little shocked, and Eli says that he owes her a driving lesson. He's more in love with her than ever, but Clare is now filled with doubts and fears.
