Rob was helping Margret and the rest of the Gilbert family get inside. "Easy. Grab the door Jer." Matt was saying.

"Hey, stop fussing, I'm fine." Jenna insisted.

"The doctors said that you have to take it easy." Elena pointed out.

"Yeah, you don't want to rip your stitches, hemorrhage and die, alright?"

"Yeah, the only thing I'm gonna die from is embarrassment." Jenna told them.

"That's impossible, Aunt Jenna." Margret pointed out.

"I walked into a knife. How does somebody do that?" Jenna said.

"It is a freak accident." Elena told her.

"Yeah, it happens." Jeremy added.

"Yeah, I mean I've done it like twenty times at the Grill." Matt said. Jenna started to laugh, then winced due to the pain.

"Easy, Aunt Jenna." Margret said.

"Here, let's help get her to the couch." Rob said.

"What should I do with this?" Matt asked.

"I got it." Elena said, taking the bag into the kitchen with her. Jeremy went with her, while Margret and the guys stayed with Aunt Jenna.

"You're pretty good with this stuff, Rob."

"Well, I do want to be a doctor, you know."

"With your grades?"

"I actually think it's cool." Matt said.

"I don't think Amy would mind having you as a doctor." Margret said.

"Any of us would be lucky with his help." Matt pointed out.

"Thanks for helping us with this, guys." Margret said. "We were really scared we'd lose her."

"Good thing the wound wasn't that serious." Matt said.

"And you know we're always here for you guys." Rob added. "That's what friends do for each other, right?" Margret heard the back door close and headed into the kitchen.

"What's up with Jeremy?"

"I don't know." Elena said. "He thinks we should go after Katherine, but I think it's too dangerous. I mean, look at what happened with Aunt Jenna. What if it's Caroline next? Or Matt? Or Robert?"

"I understand, but we can't just let her get away with everything. We're going to have to fight back at some point." Margret pointed out.

"I wish we wouldn't have to, but until then, we better be extremely careful."

A few minutes later, Margret and Rob were talking. "So, I'm guessing you're not coming to the party tonight."

"After what's happened with Jenna, it's probably not a good idea." Margret said. "Tell the others I'm sorry, okay?"

"Hey, what happened wasn't your fault, Margret."

"I know, but she could use the extra company."

"You know Alex will understand, right?" Rob said.

"Of course." Margret said. "Besides, he already knows I'm not coming."

"Well, I should go get ready."

"See around, Rob." Margret pointed out.

A few hours later, the girls were watching a movie in the living room. "I feel like an invalid." Jenna said.

"That's because you are invalid." Elena pointed out.

"Well, at least it's temporary." Margret said.

"Where's Jeremy? Isn't he hungry?" Elena asked.

"He already left for the Lockwood party." Jenna told her.

"He went to that?" Elena asked. Margret looked away. Jeremy sent her a text earlier saying that he and the others were going to get back at Katherine at the party. "Did you know he was going?"

"Huh? Oh, yeah. I asked him to stay for family night, but he didn't feel like it." Margret said.

"Yeah, I'm glad. He needs to have more fun. Lose some of that emo thing." Jenna said.

"I'm gonna get some napkins." Elena said.

"I know." Margret said. "But he's been hanging out with Alex more often."

"That's cool."

At the party, Melody and the others were all outside. Melody was in a blue dress with a mask to match it. "It's too bad she couldn't make it."

"I wouldn't come, either, if something had happened to one of my parents." Alex said. His mask was black, though his blue eyes were still visible.

"Yeah, I'm surprised Amy didn't show up yet." Rob said. "Anyway, I'm going to see how Tyler's doing. He's seemed a little upset since we started planning this party."

"So, what now?" Alex asked when Rob was gone.

"How about we dance?" Melody suggested. He looked at her. "Unless you'd rather go home or something."

The two of them headed out to the dance floor. "Wow, you're pretty good at this." Melody said.

"I've had practice." Alex said. "I had to fill in for one of the guys at the beauty contest."

"Wait, you were down there?" Melody asked.

"Tina's date bailed."

"So as usual, you decided to play the girls' knight in shining armor." Melody teased.

"Something like that." Alex said.

"Oh, no way." Melody said.

"What? Is it that unbelievable I'd be willing to help."

"No, not that. That." She was looking at another couple dancing. "I thought Elena was staying home tonight."

"Maybe she snuck out." Alex said.

"No, if she had, I'm sure Margie would know about it." Melody said. "I'm going to go call her."

"Okay."

A few minutes later, the group met up. "Margret said Elena's at home so unless she snuck out of the house…"

"We all know she wouldn't attempt that again." Rob said.

"Yeah, though you know what's really weird?" Alex told them. "The fact that her brother's here with Bonnie."

"No way." Melody said.

"Yeah, I saw them sitting together outside."

"You don't think they're dating, do you?" Rob asked him.

"Okay, Margie's twin and her sister's best friend? Now that'd be weird." Melody pointed out.

"Weirder things have happened Melody." Rob pointed out. "I never thought that I'd be dating Amy and now look at us."

"He's kinda got a point, Melody. Sometimes we end up with people we never expected to be with." Alex said. He walked away. Melody watched as he left.

"Melody?" Rob asked.

"Sorry. What'd you say?" She asked.

"Did you two get in a fight or something?"

"No. Actually, can you meet me out front in ten minutes? I want to talk with him."

"Sure."

Melody found Alex near the fountain. "Hey, are you okay?"

"Yeah."

"You know what happened out there, it didn't mean anything, right?" Melody said.

"Of course I know that. Besides, I like Margret." Alex pointed out.

"I know." Melody said. "It's a little bit obvious."

"I just wish I could be there for her, but I know she'd turn me down."

"Look, you're a good friend, Alex, but I don't know if she's ready for a relationship yet." Melody said. "I mean, her brother's girlfriend went missing and her sister's going through a breakup."

"I don't know, I like her and all, but I can't help but feel like she's hiding something from us." Alex said.

"Please, Margret would never lie to us." Melody said. "She's my best friend, I'd know if she were keeping secrets."

"We should probably get going, we don't want to miss our ride home." He pointed out. Melody nodded and they ran to catch up with Rob before he left.
