Sanders announces an evening mixology contest where couples must invent a drink reflecting their relationship, with a desirable prize for the winners. Wilder notes how much Scottie has transformed from anxious to joyful over the course of the day. They collaborate on their cocktail concept, bantering about names and ingredients while referencing their cover story first date. They settle on tequila, prickly pear, triple sec, lime juice, sweet-and-sour mix, and crushed strawberries, naming it the Prickly Pair.

After submitting their drink, they watch judges Ellison and the front-desk attendant (nicknamed Quarters) taste the entries. Sanders announces the Prickly Pair as the clear winner. Wilder and Scottie celebrate, give playful acceptance remarks that reinforce their couple narrative, and follow Sanders to collect their prize: a private lakeside setup with a blanket, wine, chocolates, and a gift.

Alone, they open the gift to find a curved orange dildo and a cock ring with a perineum stimulator. Scottie is curious but nervous; Wilder calmly explains the toys and describes how he would use them with her, emphasizing consent and pacing. The explicit, detailed talk arouses Scottie, and she tells Wilder that with him it does not feel scary.

As night falls and the other couples depart, Wilder and Scottie flirt, exchange repeated confessions that they like each other, and tease about bodies and fantasies. Scottie removes her shorts, makes her wet shirt see-through by wading into the lake, and dry humps Wilder, taking an increasingly confident lead in their intimacy.

Wilder suggests checking off a bucket-list item, carries Scottie into the lake, and they skinny-dip. Embracing, Scottie initiates penetrative sex in the water. They maintain eye contact and a gentle rhythm, with Scottie responding to Wilder’s piercings and building quickly to orgasm. They climax together, sharing a quiet, intimate aftermath marked by laughter and tender kisses.

Afterward, they reflect on how unexpected and freeing the experience feels. Wilder shares that after his father’s death he adopted a “yes, and” approach to life, which led him to improv and a commitment to saying yes to experiences. Scottie admires this outlook and says she wants more of it; Wilder tells her she already embodies that courage.
