On Friday, Daphne arrives at work to find Ashleigh already there with a Fika coffee waiting, spelled wrong on the cup. They exchange terse but warmer banter, and Harvey signals the poker night plan is set. The thaw between Daphne and Ashleigh has begun, though Ashleigh isn't ready for full reconciliation.

Saturday, Daphne uses Harvey's instructions to let herself into Ashleigh's surprisingly grand bayfront home and starts painting Ashleigh's bedroom—the long-promised favor she'd flaked on. She's struck by the sadness of the half-empty space Duke left behind. As she paints to a sad-girl playlist, Ashleigh appears: Harvey caved and revealed the ruse.

Ashleigh confronts Daphne, who apologizes without expecting forgiveness. Ashleigh hugs her and apologizes too, explaining lessons from her solo marriage counseling: she tends to set silent tests rather than communicate, and she'd been doing that with Daphne instead of just calling her out. She affirms the friendship matters and that she doesn't want to lose it over one fight.

Daphne breaks down and confesses everything: she slept with Miles, he ghosted her the next day to help Petra move, Peter came by claiming he and Petra are reconciling, and there's a job opening near her mother she's seriously considering. Ashleigh defends Miles's intentions but takes Daphne's fears seriously, then sadly accepts that Daphne may move away, asking only not to be forgotten.

The two reconcile fully, joking about the ugly paint color and Ashleigh possibly getting a dog—something Duke would've hated. The friendship is restored, and Daphne is reminded of the life she's quietly built in Waning Bay.
