Luke confronts them about their lying. Edward agrees to tell Luke what the Ice Princess really is. He tells Luke that it is a priceless statue.

She is hesitant as there are so many Cassidines and only one of him! He tells her he has a way of evenning the odds and takes her to meet L&L...who are i the middle of their morning grooming. Laura looks like a true island princess in her saraong and flowers in her hair. They talk about having a romantic evening and she insists on shaving him again - with a shell! Then she bathes in the small lagoon with a waterfall that they have set up home near. She has removed her sarong and is bathing as Robert shows up towing Tiffany. Tiffany is surprised to see Lucy - (she meet her when she was pretending to be her maid aboard the yacht), she reintroduces herself as Laura. She tells the gang she doesn't know if she can help them but assures them she is on their side. She tells them the Cassidines pretty much keep her in the dark. She does tell them about a secret room. She reports that Mikos gave a creepy demonstration where he threw diamond dust over the champagne fountain and froze it (this is what has led her to help our heros - this scene is not included.). They figure out this was the same night it grew so cold. Suddenly they hear the guards calling Tiffany's name. She heads out to draw them off. Later, L&L & Robert share an island dinner. Laura has spent the day making curtains for their outdoor hut for privacy. Robert leaves them alone after dinner, and L&L begin to make love. Laura is suddenly taken ill. The next day she is worse, she spikes a high fever. As she continues to worsen Luke wants to take action. He is willing to storm the Cassidine compound to get Laura medicine (Tiffany has showed them where the entrance is).
