Elliot and Rachel's relationship moves beyond platonic as they spend more time together. He asks her to be his plus one at a lavish gala fundraiser, and as they grow closer, Elliot confides in her about the loss of his mother at the hands of his father. When Rachel comes home with Liam to find their apartment broken into, Elliot insists that the duo stay with him.

Elliot has planned a surprise for Rachel and Liam - a trip to his log cabin in the countryside for the weekend. Shortly after arriving, she suspects someone is watching them from the surrounding woods. Later, Liam is accosted by a woman who questions him about Rachel and Elliot.

Now having doubts about the man she works for, Simone looks into Elliot's past, questioning his version of how he lost his parents. Rachel identifies a child therapist who worked with Elliot immediately after his mother was killed. However, Rachel is unaware that Elliot has been following her.
