Lucas was absolutely livid. "You better explain yourself, Cordy! Why the hell did you take my hair—"
He looked up, only to find that Cordy was already gone.
F*ck!
Lucas could blow up from sheer rage—she left right after she was done flirting? Where was her sense of responsibility?!
He rushed straight into the bathroom, dousing himself with cold water to cool off.

On the other hand, Cordy wasn’t actually as calm as she appeared as she left Lucas's room.
In fact, she was worried she would lose control.
Now, the priority was to confirm Lucas's identity with no uncertainty.
Dicky's parental test failed before, but the boy claimed that the sample was the issue.
She didn’t think much of it at the time, and was convinced that he was just being obsessed.
But at this very moment, she believed Dicky completely.
She returned to her hotel room to find Dicky on the couch, watching TV.
He beamed when he saw her return. "Welcome back, Mommy."
Cordy stared at him, her fingers clenching on the strand of hair and asked, "Dicky, do you really think that Lucas is your daddy?"
"Of course! You finally believed it now, Mommy?" Dicky asked, beaming with excitement.
"I have a strand of his hair here. I want yours too for a parental test."
"You don't have to do it, I already…" Dicky suddenly trailed off.
He knows his mommy might not actually believe him, but she would have to if she did it herself.
As such, he promptly corrected himself. "Okay."
While he spoke, he quickly pulled out a strand of his hair, worried that Cordy would change her mind.
Cordy took his hair and inhaled deeply before calling Sean. "Sorry, I know you're busy, but I need a favor.”
