Later on, Clare was talking to Alli before her exam, discussing her relationship with Eli. Alli says "So how much tongue was involved?" and Clare says that's none of her business. Alli says she should try going out with him before some girl takes him while she's at her grandma's house for two weeks on break. After the exam, Clare sees Eli at his locker and asks how his French exam was; to which Eli replies "Way too long,ā€ with a smile. They both lean in to kiss each other and right before they can, Clare interrupts and asks if that means she has a date to Vegas Night, and Eli says "Depends do I get a corsage.", they both smile at each other and are about to kiss until Fitz interrupts. Fitz assumes Eli told Principal Simpson he set off the stink bomb and Eli admits to it. Which results in Fitz wrapping his arm around Eli's neck and putting him in a headlock. Fitz stops when he realizes a teacher is looking at them. Fitz then leaves upset and tells Eli that it isn't over. Eli calls Fitz a menace Eli tells Clare someone needs to teach him a lesson. And Clare says they should just stop fighting and they start debating over what Eli should do. And Clare says "or you could just lay low with your girlfriend?" in an awkward tone. To which Eli says " twist my rubber arm...girlfriend." They walk off as a couple with their arms around each other. After Clare buys both of their tickets, Fitz approaches her and asks her to the dance, saying he would leave Adam and Eli alone if she went with him to the dance. After agreeing to Fitz's proposal, Clare tells Eli, who is upset but appears to go along with it. Eli blows off Clare's attempt at a meeting before she has to get ready, and confronts Fitz, saying he better not hurt her. Trying to annoy Eli, Fitz tells him he would be gentle when he has sex with Clare before he walks away and leaving an angry Eli standing there alone. While at Clare's house, Jenna, Alli, and Clare discuss Clare's situation. Eli shows up at Clare's house and tries to make Clare poison Fitz. Clare declines, despite Eli telling her that Fitz wants to have sex with her. Clare tells Eli that poisoning Fitz would not stop the violence, which leaves Eli confused. He asks her whose side is she on, and she replies by saying she's not sure, but she definitely isn't on the side who poisons people, referring to the tactic Eli wants to use against Fitz.
