Right after dinner…

Sarah has gone to the bathroom to wash her plate and Dale is in the bedroom to get his laptop, it seems like a good time for Kelly to set things straight with Lauri.

Lauri: (Yawns) So, what do you want to talk about?
Kelly: You know exactly what.
Lauri: No, I don’t.
Kelly: Bridgeport.
Lauri: Oh, sure, Bridgeport, I think it’s the perfect place to start a career.
Kelly: No, it’s not.
Lauri: But Dale said…

Kelly: Forget what Dale said, Bridgeport is no place for you, okay?
Lauri: Hey, calm down, will you? I’m not saying I’m moving there; I’m just expressing an opinion.
Kelly: Yeah? Well, I don’t give a flying f*ck about your opinion!

Lauri: Wow, such manners… Is this what you’ve learned in your yoga lessons? Well, you should take an anger management course too.
Kelly: Like I said, I don’t give a damn what you say. Now listen carefully cause I won’t say this twice: stay away from my boyfriend or you’ll deal with me.

Lauri: Oh, rest assured I have no intention of going to Bridgeport with you.
Kelly: You better. If you know what’s good for you, that is.
Lauri: Woah, seriously, you’re the one who should work with Terry the Terrible, you belong with him, you’d get along just great.
Kelly: …

Dale: (Sighs).
Yeah, it was a matter of time before Kelly and Lauri collided like two wrecking balls. Dale returned to the living room just in time to hear their argument, especially the last bit, which was pretty mean, but unfortunately kind of true.

After leaving Kelly speechless with her final statement, Lauri flees the scene to her room. Kelly has every intention to go after her but runs head-on into Dale.
Dale: (Whispers) Hey, babe, what happened to you? We said no more jealousy.
Kelly: (Whispers too) I’m sorry, but she triggered me by suggesting she’d go to Bridgeport.
Dale: She didn’t say she’d go, she just said it sounded like a good place to work.

Kelly: You defend her?
Dale: Absolutely not. I’m just saying what I heard.
Kelly: Well, maybe she phrased it like that, but I know what she meant. She was mocking me, Dale.
Dale: Kel, please, that’s not…
Kelly: Just, why did you have to invite her to Bridgeport?
Dale: I didn’t, I was trying to persuade Sarah not to go to Lucky Palms, I didn’t even know she was listening. I didn’t mean to upset you…

Dale: I’m really sorry, babe.
Kelly: No, I am sorry. And as usual, Dale and Kelly put it all behind them to end up making out in the middle of the living room.

What more does Lauri need to understand that her crush on Dale is completely hopeless? Still, the idea of going to Bridgeport doesn’t sound bad at all….
Lauri: Thank you for the invitation, Dale, I will seriously consider it.

Dale and Kelly decide to go to their quarters to rest (among some other things).
After a long and stressful evening, they’ll be finally able to get some privacy.

Or not, because Sarah, after an equally long and exhausting afternoon, has fallen asleep on the puff chair in the bedroom.

Kelly: Just what I needed… Dale? Could you help her out of here while I get myself comfortable?
Dale: Uh, sure.

Dale doesn’t want to be rude. It’s true, everybody’s tired; Sarah is no exception, and she’s entitled to sleep. But seriously, why here and not in her own bedroom? Doesn’t she know what Kelly’s like?

Dale: Um… Sarah?
Dale has to call her several more times to get her to react, until…
Sarah: Huh, wha…?
Dale: Sarah, thank goodness, I thought you had passed out.

Sarah: I’m fine, I was just… I was dreaming. A great dream, by the way, so thank you very much.
Dale: I’m sorry, but Kelly and I need… you know, privacy.
Sarah: Don’t worry, I have no intention to stay and watch, it’s bad enough with what I get to hear. Have you considered installing soundproof walls?
Dale: …

Kelly is already back, in more comfortable clothing; she overheard the last of what Sarah said.
Kelly: (To herself) Soundproof walls, huh?

Kelly: (To Sarah) I heard what you were saying, about soundproof walls?
Sarah: Oh, yeah, that…
Kelly: We don’t need them. This is our bedroom, we do what we want in it, if you don’t like it, go install one in your own room.
Dale: Kelly, come on…

Sarah: Ah, it’s okay, I’m leaving now.
As Sarah walks towards the door, Kelly starts to cozy up in bed, Dale decides to follow her.
Sarah: By the way, do you plan to take the puff chair with you when you move out?

Kelly: No.
Dale: Nope.
Sarah: Can I keep it?
Dale: That’s fine with me.
Kelly: Take whatever you want, we won’t need any of this. Now, if you don’t mind…
Dale: Have a good night, Sarah, and, uh, sorry.

Sarah: That’s okay. I’m out of here before you guys start with your… stuff. Have a good night too.

Sarah: Kelly seemed very angry about the Bridgeport thing. I need to convince Lauri to come to Lucky Palms with me, otherwise she’ll never leave Cho alone and Kelly will continue sulking, which is not good for anyone. We deserve to spend what is left of the term in peace.

When Sarah returns to the room, Lauri is already sleeping like a log…
Sarah: Yeah, sleep well, buddy, you and I are going to have a serious talk later.
