Jenna confronts Lucy, who scornfully reveals that she discovered Jenna was the one sabotaging her own magazine. Jenna rushes to Matt's childhood home, next door to hers. Finding Matt, she declares that she is not the bad person she seemed to be, that he would marry her if he could see who she was. Matt in his tuxedo, tells her they cannot turn back time, but reveals the pink dollhouse he has kept for 17 years. In tears, Jenna asks for it back, Matt sadly confesses that he always loved her.

Greek colonisation was an organised colonial expansion by the Archaic Greeks into the Mediterranean Sea and Black Sea in the period of the 8th–6th centuries BC. This colonisation differed from the migrations of the Greek Dark Ages in that it consisted of organised direction by the originating metropolis instead of the simple movement of tribes which characterized the earlier migrations. Many colonies that were founded in this period evolved into strong city-states and became independent of their metropoleis; the reasons for colonisation had to do with the demographic explosion of this period, the development of the emporium, the need for a secure supply of raw materials, but with the emerging politics of the period which drove sections of the population into exile. Population growth created a scarcity of farm land and a restriction of the ability of smallholders to farm it, similar in every city-state. In places with surplus population, this led to a demand for additional living space; the location of each colonial establishment was dictated by the supply of unexploited resources which would provision the metropolis, as well as the finished goods it would produce.
The development of the emporium was among the more important motivations for the founding of a colony. The colonies created new markets, supplied the metropoleis with significant raw materials and constituted important way stations on the long-distance trade journeys of the era; the troubled political situation in many cities, along with the establishment of tyrannical government, drove the political opposition into exile and into a search for new places of residence. The founding of the colonies was an organised enterprise; the launch was organized by the metropolis, although in many cases they collaborated with other cities. The place to be colonised was selected in advance with the goal of offering business advantages, but security from raiders. In order to create a feeling of security and confidence in relation to the new colony, the choice of place was decided according to its usefulness; the mission always included a leader nominated by the colonists. In the new cities, the colonists parcelled out the land, including farms.
The system of governance took a form reminiscent of that which prevailed in the metropolis. The first founders of colonies were the Euboeans, who founded colonies at the beginning of the 8th century B. C. in Southern Italy and Chalcidice. The two most powerful states on Euboea and Eretria founded numerous colonies in Chalcidice, the most important of, Olynthus, they were the first to found colonies in Southern Italy; the first colony that they founded there was Pithecusae on the Isle of Ischia. Subsequently, they founded the colonies of Cumae, Zancle and Naxos. At the end of the 8th century Euboea fell into decline with the outbreak of the Lelantine War and the baton of colonial foundation was passed to other Greek cities. In the 7th century, many colonies were founded in Ionia, Southern Italy, Thrace and on the Black Sea. Other Greek colonies were founded on the coast of Gaul, on the Cyrenaica peninsula in Africa and in Egypt. In this burst of colonial expansion cities such as Corinth, Miletus and Phocaea took the lead.
Numerous colonies were founded in the present Northern Greece, chielfy in the region of Chalcidice but in the region of Thrace. Chalcidice was settled by Euboeans, chiefly from Chalcis; the most important settlements of the Euboeans in Chalcidice were Olynthos, Mende, Sermyle and Cleonae in the peninsula of Athos. Other important colonies in Chalcidice were Acanthus, a colony, founded by colonists from Andros and Potidaea, a colony of Corinth. Numerous other colonies were founded in the region of Thrace by the Ionians from the coast of Asia Minor. Important colonies were Maroneia, Abdera; the Milesians founded Abydos and Cardia on the Hellespont and Rhaedestus in Propontis. The Samians colonised the island of Samothrace; the Parians colonised Thasos under the leadership of the oecist and father of the poet Archilochus, Telesicles. The region of the Ionian Sea and that of Illyria were colonized by Corinth; the Corinthians founded important overseas colonies on the sea lanes to Southern Italy and the west which succeeded in making them the foremost emporia of the western side of the Mediterranean.
Important colonies of Corinth included Leucada, Anactoreum, Actium and Corcyra. The Corinthians founded important colonies in Illyria, which evolved into important cities and Epidamnus was a Greek colony in Illyria. Nymphaeum was another Greek colony in Illyria; the first to colonise Southern Italy were the Euboeans, who with the move to Pithecusae, founded a series of cities in that region. The second city that they founded was Cumae, nearly opposite Ischia; the colonists from Cumae founded Zancle in on Sicily, nearby on the opposite coast, Rhegium. Further, the Euboeans founded Naxos, which became the base for the founding of the cities of Leontini and Catania. In this effort they were accompanied by small numbers of Ionians; the strongest of the Sicilian colonies was Syracuse, an 8th-century B. C. colony of the Corinthians. Colonists of that same period from Achaea founded the cities of Sybaris and Croton in the Gulf of Taranto but in the Metapontum in the same district. In the same area, refugees from Sparta founded Taranto which evolved into one of the most p
