Daphne, Julia, and Ashleigh confront the avalanche of wedding paraphernalia in Daphne's living room. When Julia presses about moving plans, Daphne admits she might relocate after summer. Julia confides a secret she begs Daphne not to share with Miles: she's been wanting to move to Waning Bay for years but held back because she didn't want Miles to feel obligated to stay for her. She explains that Miles has repeatedly given up things for her sake, and now that her circumstances have changed, she wants to be near him without trapping him. Daphne urges her to tell Miles directly, recognizing the painful gap between Miles's self-image as the brother who left and Julia's view of him as the one who always stays.

Refocusing, the trio devises a plan: they'll photograph, list, and resell Daphne's wedding items, with Ashleigh storing them and Julia handling shipping as thanks for the couch. Fueled by sauvignon blanc and Ashleigh's playlist "You're Divorced, Not Dead," they catalog everything across the living room floor.

Hours later, they reach the wedding dress itself. Julia and Ashleigh pressure Daphne into trying it on. As she struggles into it in the bathroom, Daphne flashes back to choosing the dress with her mother and Melly in Richmond—her mom insisting on paying despite the cost, telling Daphne she was "the one" and that Daphne now had two people to count on. Daphne mourns the lost future with Peter but notices the dress no longer holds the same magic; it's also now too tight.

She emerges to find the apartment empty—Julia and Ashleigh left for milkshake supplies. Miles walks in instead. Flustered, Daphne explains, and Miles teases her, calling her beautiful. The chemistry hits hard, and Daphne flees to the bathroom to change—only to discover the zipper has jammed and the bodice feels suffocatingly tight, leaving her trapped in the wedding dress.
