Izzy tells him that she’s not sure she deserves that, but he’s compassionate and tells her that she will heal and that her life will carry on. She explains that although she was meant to attend a party with her deceased friend Chris, she preferred to spend time alone with him. Instead, they lit some candles, drank a few beers, and broke into an abandoned house.
It seems that as they were flirting, they accidentally knocked over a drink, which quickly mixed with the candles and caused the couple to be engulfed in flames. She sobs as she tells Alec, “I killed Chris.” However, he doesn’t hesitate to tell out that the amount of alcohol in the vodka sodas they were consuming wasn’t sufficient to explain the intensity of the fire.
