Anna takes her frustrations out on Frisco. Duke talks to Felicia about Anna, and then finds Camellia in his apartment. She insists that Duke belongs with her and only loves her, that he is only with Anna as he couldn’t be with Camelia. Now that they can be together, she tells Duke he shouldn’t fight their destiny. Duke tells her that she needs to get help and until she understands that he loves her only as a sister, that he can’t see her or have her in his life. Anna comes in and finds a heartbroken Camilia who sadly tells her that Duke has asked her to leave. Anna doesn’t understand Duke’s behavior towards his sister. Anna insists that if Duke can’t explain this to her then Camilia isn’t going anywhere!

Duke loses his cool with Felicia. Duke returns home to find a darkened and candlelit room, and Camelia waiting for him. Duke is horrified when she continues to try to seduce him. Camelia insists that Duke allowed her to stay as he really doesn’t want her to leave. Duke says he is only trying to protect Anna. She pours champagne and tells him that she loves him and has no choice but to pursue him. He demands that she accept the fact that he loves Anna and only Anna and try to carve out her own life or take herself back to the mental institution and that is her only choice!
