Plot[]
Alison travels to spend time with Noah in the city and they end up at Noah's family home, having sex in Helen and Noah's bed. Afterwards, when she goes with Noah to look at a small apartment Alison gets angry at Noah's talk of long-term timing and flees back to Montauk. Noah tidies away evidence of his betrayal, and in the process finds a positive pregnancy test in the kitchen waste basket. Whitney admits the test is hers, and that she has an abortion scheduled for the following day. Alison has a one night stand with Oscar, after which he tells her that the Lockhart ranch is heavily in debt. Alison confronts Cherry, insisting she tell her children the truth but she threatens to tell Cole about her affair. Meanwhile, Noah goes to Whitney's appointment in the hope the father of her baby will attend. When Scott Lockhart appears, Noah attacks him. Alison is thrown into despair and seriously self-harms herself, subsequently relating to a doctor the full story of Gabriel's death. Afterwards, she considers suicide by drowning in the ocean but is stopped when she thinks she hears Gabe's voice calling to her. Alison tells Cole about the ranch, and insists that she has to leave Montauk. Noah decides to leave Helen, and during the ensuing argument Helen discovers Alison's underwear in their bedroom. Noah leaves Brooklyn on the train, calling Alison to tell her he is coming for her. At the train station, Cole catches up with Alison and says he will leave Montauk with her. Noah interrupts their moment, and Alison boards the train alone.
