"Website? I'm talking about that weird cartoon thing that was on your computer. 3-D doll, it was called Cindy. What was it, Eric?" Tony questioned, before being interrupted.
Over at the house, while hosting a get-together, Eric wanted to clear the air with Tony.
"Look, don't worry about it," Tony told him. "What you get up to on your laptop's your own business. Just be nice to Cindy, yeah? She's been through a lot."
However, upon spying an ideal opportunity, Tony sifted through Eric's laptop and found a whole folder stacked with pictures of Cindy.

Off-screen, Eric claimed he simply had a crush on Cindy and was using her likeness for a dating site, which Tony revealed to the party soon after.
"He fancies you," he informed a gobsmacked Cindy. "He told me he was on this new dating website and it asked him to create an avatar of his dream woman - guess who he used for inspiration.

Just how far will Eric take this dark obsession?
