Cat is sitting in a booth in a diner having lunch with Lois and as she explains to Lois what's been going on she tries to not get choked up about it.

"I found Carter's hair brush underneath my pillow this morning. I-"

"How could he do that? How dare he? A morality what?"

"'Clause', he said," Cat takes a sip from her drink.

Lois sits there with a cigarette in her hand, "Oh, Cat. If I am responsible in any way…."

Cat reaches her hand out and places it on Lois' to stop her from saying anymore, "Don't you dare. Don't you ever."

Sighing Lois moves on, "Well, I've got my eye on this little redhead who owns a steakhouse outside of Paramus. I'm talking serious Rita Hayworth redhead."

Cat laughs, "Really? You think you got what it takes to handle a redhead?"

"You going somewhere?"

"West, I thought. At least for a few weeks until the hearing. What else am I gonna do?"

Lois puts her cigarette out and sighs again, "I know you don't like driving alone, so...she's young. Tell me you know what you're doing, Cat."

Cat shakes her head and smiles, "I don't. I never did."

Later that night Kara hears a knock on her door as she's finishing up making dinner, wiping her hands on her apron she goes to the door to find Cat there.

"You're landlady let me in," Cat smiles and pushes a box across the floor into her apartment with her foot, "Merry Christmas. Open it."

Kara smiles and bends down to open the box, inside she finds a brand new canon camera with an ample supply of film rolls. Kara takes the camera out of the box like it's the most precious thing she's ever held in her hands, "Oh, Cat," but that's all Kara can get out before Cat crosses the threshold and asks to see her photographs.

Cat stares at a wall of photographs as Kara stands in the background nervous, "They're not very good, I mean I can do better."

But Cat just stares at the picture Kara took of her that day when they bought her Christmas tree and she's at a loss for words, she shakes her head to tell Kara she's wrong, "It's perfect."

Cat spots a picture of a young Kara and suddenly thinks of Carter and how much she misses him, "Do you have anything in your icebox besides photo chemicals?"

"Oh yes," Kara goes to the fridge and pulls out two cold beers but places them on the counter when she notices Cat crying from the arm of the chair in her living room.

Kara goes to her side and places a hand on her shoulder and Cat just sniffs and puts a hand over hers. Kara decides to take her up to the roof so they can look at the city lights and so Cat can smoke a cigarette, "Is there any reason in I don't know, fight it?"

"The injunction? No."

Kara looks down at her hands defeated, "I feel kind of useless like I can't help your or offer you anything."

"It has nothing to do with you. I'm going away for a while."

Kara looks up at her from where shes seated, "When? Where?"

"Wherever my car will take me. West. Soon. And I thought perhaps you might come with me. Would you?"

They stare at each other, the wind lightly blowing as they hold their coats closer to their bodies and Kara thinks without hesitation.

"Yes. Yes, I would," a smile lacing her lips.

And it begins to snow.

The next morning James follows Kara around her apartment as she packs, "But you don't even know her!"

"You can forward any of my mail to Chicago, General Post. I've paid rent through February. I had a little extra money saved."

"For our trip! Our trip, Kara. And now you're...I don't believe this is happening."

"I can't explain it. I just…"

"What? You've got one hell of a crush on this woman is what. You're like a schoolgirl."

"I do not. I just like her is all. I'm fond of anyone I can really talk to."

"Nice, you know what I think? I think two weeks from now you're going to be wishing that….she's going to get tired of you and you're going to wish that you had never-"

"You don't understand!"

"Oh, I do! I understand completely. You're in a trance."

Kara stops, "I'm wide awake! I've never been more awake in my life. Why don't you leave me alone?"

"Are we over, is that what this is?"

Sighing Kara packs the rest of her clothes, "That's not what I'm saying. But why should I want to be with you when all we do is argue?"

"Say for one minute that you practically want to say goodbye because of some silly crush?"

"I didn't say that. You said it."

"You made me buy boat tickets! I got a better job for you. I asked you to marry me, for Christ sakes…"

"I never made you; I never asked you for anything."

James puts his coat and jacket on and heads for the front door, "Maybe that's the problem. I swear to you in two weeks you are going to begging me to forget this whole thing ever happened."

James slams the door behind him and Kara just sighs and stares at the door then she's back to making sure all her stuff is packed and she writes out a tag for her present to Cat and waits for her to arrive to pick her up for their trip.

The moment Cat arrives at her door Kara is there to answer it, her suitcase in hand she locks her apartment door behind her and follows Cat down the stairs to her car where Cat chivalrously unlocks the trunk and takes her suitcase from her hand and places it into the trunk with her own suitcase. Kara gets into the passenger seat as Cat comes around and gets into the car, "Okay, ready?"

Kara smiles in delight, "Ready."

Cat starts the engine and Christmas music pops up on the radio and Kara looks out her window as they begin their road trip. Kara marvels at all the towns on their trip and a few hours later they're stopping at a diner for lunch, "I could get used to having a whole city to myself."

Cat sips her coffee cup, "Mm."

Kara sits there and smiles dressed in her red sweater and brown skirt and her little winter hat on her head. And Cat across from her in her green sweater and black skirt just smiles right back at her. Kara reaches for her bag and pulls out her present for Cat, "Here, for you. Merry Christmas."

Cat gasps and takes it, "Oh, no you shouldn't have."

"Open it."

Cat is met with a record she flips over and inspects it and Kara fills her in on it, "I played it for you on your piano at your house."

"I remember that."

Kara grabs her camera and as Cat looks at her to say thank you and Kara clicks the button, "Oh, no, don't. I look a fright."

"You do not, you look wonderful."

Cat tries to shield her face from the camera and Kara pulls her hand away from her face and holds it for a minute, "Just like that."

So Cat smiles and rests her chin on her fingers as Kara snaps another photo.

"Do you miss James?"

"No, I haven't thought about him all day. Or of home really."

"Home…"

They finish their food and coffee and Kara puts her camera away and soon they're back on the road again. It soon becomes night while Cat still drives on and Kara is fast asleep in her seat and Cat reaches a hand over and pulls the blanket on Kara a little more snuggly.

In the middle of the night Lois is awakened by a pounding on her front door, she finds a drunk Henry there.

"Let me speak to her."

"What are you doing here? You're supposed to be in Florida."

"Well, I couldn't do that because Henry would like to be with his mother for Christmas. Not that it's any of your goddamn business. Now go get her I know she's here."

Lois looks at him in disgust, "You've got some nerve fucking coming around here. And no, she's not here."

She's goes to slam the door in his face but his hand stops it, "Well, that's impossible. Because she's not at home and she's not with me. So she must be with you."

"Yeah, you know, Henry, you have a point. You've spent ten years making damn sure her only point of reference is you-your job, your friends, your family."

"Where is she damn it!? She's still my wife Lois, she's my responsibility."

"You know that's some way of showing it. Slapping her with an injunction. I'm closing the door."

She goes to close the door but he stops her again, "I love her."

"Well, I can't help you with that."

She finally closes the door and locks it and turns off the porch light leaving him to get back into his car and leave.

The next morning Kara gets dressed and heads to Cat's motel room, knocking on the door before opening it she peaks in, "Cat?"

Cat call's from the bathroom, "Kara is that you?"

"Yes."

"Would you be a darling and fetch me my blue sweater? It's from the big suitcase on the bed."

"Um, okay," Kara turns to the suitcase on the bed and gently moves her folded clothing until she finds the blue sweater. Lifting it out of the case she holds it to her nose and inhales the scent that is Cat.

She moves a few things around when she spots a handgun at the bottom of Cat's case.

"Hey slowpoke," Cat shouts from the bathroom.

Kara rushes to cover it up as she grabs the blue sweater and goes to the bathroom door, "Found it."

Cat in her robe with her touseled wet hair smiles from the bathroom door and grabs the sweater from Kara's grip, "Thanks. You okay?"

Kara gulps at the state Cat is in, "Yeah I'm just suddenly starving."

"I'll be right out give me a few minutes."

Back on the road again Kara can't help but think of that gun she saw in Cat's suitcase back at the hotel, munching on a sandwich Kara looks to Cat as she drives, "Do you feel safe? With me, I mean?"

"You're full of surprises."

"I mean, you'd tell me if something scared you and there was something I could do to help?"

"I'm not frightened, Kara."

Kara nods and eats the rest of her sandwich in silence only stopping to make a little small talk for the rest of their trip. They wind up at a hotel where they book a presidential suite and well into the night they drink and Cat decides to apply her makeup to Kara's face. First her lipstick and then her perfume. Kara's record lightly plays in the background. They look at each other like they're the only person in the world for them and the light caresses and giggles are so intentional you could swear they were already lovers.

Kara can't sleep that night, she can't help but watch Cat sleep from her own bed across the room. She sighs and rolls over and stares at the ceiling where sleep soon finds her. The next morning as they eat breakfast and drink coffee a man named Tommy tries to make small talk with them and tries to sell them some magazines but Kara can't help but smile fondly at Cat as she looks at a map figuring out the rest of the way for their trip. Tommy unable to make a sell informs them that there's a quicker route that will shave two hours off their drive. They finish their breakfast and bid him farewell as they continue on their road trip to Chicago.
