Tora and Poppy are making out on the bed, when they are interrupted by not Pinky, but the balcony alarm.  

Turning away, Tora goes through a quick series of thoughts to figure out his next steps. 

He decides, rationally or emotionally, that he wants to take Poppy along with him to Narin.  

He tells her, and when Poppy inquires, asks her if she trusts him, a question that triggers an intimate confession from Poppy and a flashback showing us her mother leaving. Cold businesswoman leaving to pursue her career, or is that what Lily wants us to think?  

In any case, Tora related to her hesitancy, and Poppy tells him that she feels comfortable around him, but for where it matters. Tora is confused by that, but when he asks Poppy to spell out what she means, Poppy isn't sure either. They move into banter and shelve it for another time.  

When Poppy asks if Tora is in trouble, Tpra recollects his recent conversation with Quincy, where our usually sunny boy enumerates the troubles ahead for Poppy and Tora.   

At this, Tora admits to Poppy that he is indeed in trouble, and to himself, that he is IN LOVE!!!
