There鈥檚 a shock at the opening of the new Gallery exhibition and Tracy offers reassurance.
Brad declares it鈥檚 not Chelsea鈥檚 fault that Russ and Lily have split up 鈥� it鈥檚 his. But at least it鈥檚 diverted gossip away from Chelsea . When Brad tentatively asks why Chelsea rang Jim and not him, Chelsea says she was worried he鈥檇 be angry. Chelsea tells Brad she thinks she now knows what she鈥檚 going to do about her pregnancy, but it makes her feel sad. Later Chelsea asks Tracy if she鈥檇 be disappointed if she had an abortion. But Tracy says it鈥檚 Chelsea鈥檚 decision and if that鈥檚 what Chelsea wants, then that鈥檚 what she should do. But later Chelsea鈥檚 not sure she can go through with it 鈥� maybe she would make a good mum. Tracy tells her although it鈥檚 scary, she鈥檚 going to have to decide one way or another as the clock鈥檚 ticking.
Lily and Elizabeth prepare for the gallery exhibition and Lily wonders whether Russ will come. When he appears he tells Lily there鈥檚 a painting he鈥檇 like to sell as a late addition to the exhibition. It鈥檚 called 鈥楶rodosia鈥� 鈥� Greek for betrayal. He unveils the painting and it鈥檚 Lily鈥檚 portrait. He then says he鈥檚 resigning as Gallery Manager. Later Elizabeth says Russ really showed his true colours, but Lily says it鈥檚 complicated. She slept with Sol at the time when Russ was painting her portrait, and it was the painting that made her fall in love with Russ all over again. Elizabeth offers to buy the portrait if it gets Russ off Lily鈥檚 case. Lily agrees but doesn鈥檛 want to look at the painting ever again.
