He gives her a hello kiss, which Kevin happens to spot. A short time later, JT enters and walks up to the table where Colleen and Zack are sitting.

Michael is at the office as Lauren enters. He asks her if by some chance, she is wearing another one of those cute little sexy outfits, because he could use a little distraction just about now. She teases him, but alas, the answer is no. He has a better idea though, and they leave the office.
