She accuses him of attacking her at her apartment and doesn’t want Martin to call the police on him once he finds her in the morning. She ends up using Martin to get Jonathan jealous on a date, so he confronted both of them at her apartment for a final showdown which didn’t go his way. In the end, she was able to resolve her problems and move on with her life as an aunt to her sister’s baby.
