Sally's plan is not working as well as she would have liked, and when she notices that Laurel and Ashley are more in love than ever, she decides to concoct some drama when she makes a distinct comment relating to her past with Ashley. Catching onto her scheming, Laurel immediately reminds Ashley that their anniversary is about them living in the present, not about the past. Sally then decides that her best line of defence will be to ruin Ashley and Laurel's celebrations, and she does this by making them cocktails. She, however, sneakily adds extra vodka into Laurel's cocktail, which she is then forced to down when the taxi is outside waiting for her. Not much later, the pair return, Laurel hopelessly drunk and Ashley obviously irritated. Taking Laurel to bed, he then spends the rest of the evening reminiscing with Sally over the many memories they have shared together.
