After venting about Wilder to herself, Scottie is interrupted by CEO Ellison, who eagerly asks how counseling went. Scottie lies that it was great and mentions the marriage summer camp; Ellison is thrilled and confirms the company policy that relationship-building time is not counted as vacation. Ellison adds that most of the office, including herself, attends the camp annually and offers a caravan option. Scottie declines and says she and Wilder will drive separately, then fields Ellison’s questions about how she and "Wilder" met.

When Ellison leaves, Wilder texts Scottie that he is researching camp necessities and going to Target for supplies. Their back-and-forth reveals Wilder’s practical plans (bug spray, sandals, swim trunks, toiletries, games, candy) and that he likes Nerds Clusters, which Scottie reluctantly admits she does too. Wilder clarifies each couple gets a private cabin and tells Scottie they will share a bed. Alarmed, Scottie demands he buy pajamas and an air mattress and worries about snoring, morning breath, and boundaries. Wilder reassures her: he claims not to snore, maintains rigorous dental hygiene, and promises privacy, noting the camp borders a forest where he plans to walk and bird-watch.

Wilder mentions hobbies and purchases that surprise Scottie: he will bring binoculars and a bird book, and says he has invested in a Brooklyn brownstone, quality binoculars, a computer, a charcoal drawing set, and a first-edition signed copy of Stephen King’s Misery. This makes Scottie question her assumptions about Wilder’s finances and lifestyle. He signs off to continue preparations, while Scottie wonders if she has misread him entirely.

Later at Mika’s bar, Scottie demands to know if Wilder is a psychopath. She recounts how Wilder complicated the therapy plan by praising her, forcing her to reciprocate, then escalating into an argument that led Sanders to push the camp. She reveals Wilder already paid for the eight-day program and asks if he has money.

Mika confirms that Wilder is wealthy from selling an app and describes him as a humble, experience-seeking retiree with lots of free time. Mika also points out that Scottie never clearly set the scene for Wilder before counseling, which likely caused him to improvise and derail her plan. Resigned, Scottie bemoans being stuck attending the camp and notes they share a fondness for Nerds Clusters, which Mika says fits Wilder’s considerate nature.
