Emily: Please tell me you didn't propose to nora without some plan of dealing with lindsay.

Troy: I have no idea what I'm going to do when lindsay finds out that i'm engaged.

Emily: But aren't you afraid that she's finally going to tell nora about joanna?

Troy: Of course I'm afraid. Of course I am. I went back and forth on it. But then i went and bought the ring anyway.

Emily: That's very --

Troy: I know -- foolish.

Emily: No, brave.

Troy: Well, actually, I had hoped that i'd be able to come up with a plan to keep lindsay in check before I proposed, but then nora accidentally found the ring, so --

Emily: Oh, troy.

Troy: No, no, Em, it's fine. Please. I'm actually glad that it happened. I didn't want to wait. I love nora, and i can't wait to be married to her. And I'm not going to let lindsay come between us and our happiness.

Emily: How can you stop her?

Troy: I don't have to. She'll stop herself.

Emily: What do you mean?

Troy: Look, lindsay is one of the most self-destructive people that I know, ok? She is always choosing the wrong thing and the wrong way to get it. That's why she ended up in Statesville.

Emily: Yeah, except she's out now.

Troy: Exactly. And look at her. She's at it again. Sooner or later, emily, she's going to cross the line. She just can't help herself.

Emily: And that's something to look forward to?

Troy: Yes. Because then i will have something on her, something that will shut her up once and for all.

Emily: Troy, I'm sorry, but that's -- that's just wishful thinking.

Troy: No, no, emily, it'll happen. You don't know lindsay like i do.

Emily: Yeah, unfortunately for you.

Troy: Right.

Emily: Even if she does mess up like you say she will, that could be weeks or months before that happens, couldn't it?

Troy: No. No, no, no, no, no, no. It'll happen a whole lot sooner than that. You'll see.

Emily: And in the meantime?

Troy: And in the meantime, I refuse to live in fear.

Emily: Troy, but if she finds out that you're engaged --

Troy: Oh, no, no, no -- there's no ifs here, emily. She will find out because I'm going to go tell her right now. Say a prayer for me, Sis.

Emily: I will.
