Day 7: As she searched, her movements were frantic.

Season 4, after episode 6.

"Al," Olivia calls from the apartment door. "Al, we gotta go."
"Just a minute," Alex yells from the bedroom. Her voice is muffled due to the fact that she's half under the bed. She pulls out a fourth shoebox and rips the cover off, throwing it across the bedroom. She is dismayed to find only a pair of shoes in the box. "Damn it," she says, pushing the box away.
"Alex," Olivia says, knocking on the door, "we have to go or we're gonna be late."
"Just hold on, Liv," Alex says, reaching for another box. This one is filled with old birthday cards.
"What are you doing?"
"Looking for something to wear," Alex lies.
"Still?" Olivia groans, letting her head hit the door. "I thought you were going to wear that red dress."
Alex stops searching and stares at the closed door, her brow wrinkled in confusion. "The one I wore to dinner with Trevor?"
Olivia scoffs. "Yeah."
Alex laughs at the utter disdain in Olivia's voice as she goes back to searching through the boxes. "I burned it."
Olivia could cry. "That was my favorite dress."
"I didn't like that he saw me in it."
Olivia shakes her head and checks her watch. "We really have to go, Alex. They won't hold our table forever."
"One minute," Alex says. She opens the final box and nearly jumps for joy. She reaches into the box and pulls out a small, blue box. Stowing it in her purse, she stands up and leaves the room.
Olivia takes one look at her and scoffs. "That's the same dress you were wearing an hour ago."
"Is it?" Alex asks, smirking. "I guess I just changed what's underneath, then." She saunters away, leaving a dry-mouthed Olivia behind her.
