She needles him about Rafe claiming paternity of his son and asks him what he'll do now that he has dirt on the cop. He claims he doesn't want to be vindictive. "That is so smart," she fawns, saying acting magnanimous will impress Sami. He admits it and she tells him any woman could see through that. Kristen offers to help take care of Sami for him.
