When she woke up she was on her side of the bed, she looked at Mal's side of the bed and saw that he wasn't there. She sat up and looked around the room, she found Mal standing next to the couch and he was fully dressed.
"You should get dressed." Mal said.
"Ok." She replied. (Why does his voice sound cold, is something wrong)
"Is something wrong?" She asked, as she stood up.
"Nothing's wrong." Mal answered.
"Ok." She said. (You're lying) she got some clothes and walked behind the folding screen, as soon as Mal finished tying the laces of her corset, he walked back to the other side of the folding screen. When they finally left the room she tried to hold Mal's hand but he wouldn't let her, throughout the entire day Mal acted cold and distant. At the end of the day when they got back to their room, Mal immediately turned off his video camera and got his night clothes, she turned off her video camera.
"I think you should stop helping me with my clothes, it's not needed." Mal said, she took a step back and she could feel tears welling up in her eyes.
"Oh." She replied, Mal didn't say anything, he just walked behind the folding screen. While Mal got ready for bed, she put up the video cameras and walked over to the dresser to get a night dress.
"You can come back here." She heard Mal say, she walked over and behind the folding screen, once Mal was on the other side of the folding screen she looked at the night dress in her hands and threw it down. She looked at the shirts that Mal had wore throughout this challenge. She picked one up and put it on, then walked to the other side of the folding screen and to the bed.
"Why aren't you wearing a night dress?" Mal asked, as she climbed into bed.
"The night dresses have become more short and are even more see through now. It seems like you'd be uncomfortable seeing more of me than you already have, that's my reason." She answered, she turned off her lamp and quickly laid down, facing away from Mal before he could say anything. A couple minutes later Mal turned off his lamp and laid down as well. (What did I do wrong, I know it's got to be me, he wasn't acting like this yesterday) she started to silently cry, eventually she fell asleep.

"Zoey's becoming upset." Vito commented.
"I told you this could possibly happen Mike." Manitoba said.
"It's because Mal is distancing himself away from her." He replied.
"I don't know about that." Chester said.
"What do you think Svetlana?" He asked.
"I don't know." Svetlana answered, he could tell that she had no clue about what to think of the situation, so he left her alone, as did everyone else.
