He asks Annie if she's cleared her head yet, and the answer is no. Emily asks
about Liam, and Annie tells her about Charlie and Liam. Emily compares their triangle to Brad and Jennifer, and Angelina. Annie thinks that makes a strange kind of sense.Adrianna gives her PTSD speech. The interviewer asks her when she came out of the PTSD state of shock. Was it before or after she decided to record an entire album of stolen material. Adrianna doesn't have any answers. Ivy greets Dixon again. He remains standoffish.
