Summary

 * “That Night, a Forest Grew”

Lila talks Dexter into having dinner at a fancy restaurant to celebrate her sale of an expensive work of art. When they arrive, after dark, the hostess tells Lila they're booked solid and there are no tables available. Lila concocts a story on the spot, claiming to have made a reservation two months ago, and spinning a romantic tale about it being she and Dexter's ten-year wedding anniversary. She even shows her a ring, telling the hostess how Dexter surprised her with it on a date at the restaurant. The hostess believes her, and they are seated.

Lila congratulates Dexter on overcoming his addiction and Dexter begins to believe that he might be able to turn his life around. They kiss at the table, and the manager of Il Bistro Vino presents them with a free bottle of champagne for their anniversary. Dexter notes that Lila has a way of always getting what she wants (foreshadowing the great lengths she later goes to in trying to hold on to him).
