Exhausted from the kayak trip, Daphne joins Miles, Julia, and Ashleigh at BARn, an outdoor bar with a taco truck, dance floor, and goat enclosure. The four eat, drink, and dance. Miles returns from the bar with glow sticks and a lipstick mark on his cheek from a bachelorette scavenger hunt, prompting playful, charged banter with Daphne about jealousy and his beard. The flirtation deepens until Julia interrupts asking for shots, and Miles breaks away with a lingering, suggestive glance.

On Monday at lunch, Ashleigh bluntly asks Daphne if she's sleeping with Miles. Daphne admits to a one-time hookup while watching a Fast & Furious movie, and that they agreed it was a mistake given they're roommates and freshly out of long-term relationships. Daphne also reveals she's looking for a new job because she only moved to the town for Peter and isn't sure she can stay. Ashleigh accepts this with grace, though she's disappointed.

Ashleigh then opens up about her own history with Duke: high school sweethearts who reunited, had Mulder, married, and lived comfortably until Ashleigh felt their relationship had reached a stagnant "final form." She wanted to grow and explore; Duke refused couples' counseling and wouldn't share emotionally. After their separation, mutual friends sided with Duke or stopped inviting her out. Daphne relates this to Sadie's silence after her breakup with Peter, recognizing she too was discarded along with the relationship. The conversation cements Daphne and Ashleigh as real friends.
