Synopsis[]
At Eastland, Blair appears and introduces everyone to her new beau, Harrison Andrews, a friend from her youth. He just recently transferred to Bates after going to school in Switzerland. When he mentions he owns a Porsche 911 SE, Jo says she can beat it on her motorcycle. When Blair comes back down after changing, she realizes he never told her when he was picking her up for a gathering at the High Crest Country Club the following night.
The following day, Blair is still waiting on Harrison's call, but Jo shows up and reveals he had been following her around. She adds that she couldn't get rid of him until she promised to go with him to the same party Blair wanted to attend. Blair gets upset as Jo gets ready to go, finding a dress and borrowing shoes from Mrs. Garrett. When she returns early from the party, Jo reveals to Mrs. Garrett that he tried to attack her and she had to hit him with her shoe to break free. When Harrison comes to return Jo's shoe, he runs into Blair, and he downplays his incident with Jo. When Jo enters and tells the truth, Blair tries to hit him, but Jo holds her back. He leaves and Jo and Blair promise to never tell what happened.
