Waiting for the podium, Scarlett hears Coach Sima warn that worlds will leave her exhausted before Olympic trials and that coaching assignments remain uncertain. She’s overwhelmed by the realization she will represent the U.S. and fixates on Emilee Newell’s mistake, worrying she doesn’t deserve the spot. Back home, media attention and USA Diving logistics pile up, and she plans a quiet weekend to process.

Lukas texts that he watched the live stream, then appears at her door with groceries and her favorite Chinese food. Their reunion turns urgent and intimate, grounding Scarlett in the comfort of his presence. Afterward, he moves easily in her space, and she admits she feels like she “won the lottery” and doesn’t deserve it.

Lukas challenges her impostor thoughts, asking if she’d feel undeserving if their positions were reversed, and tells her she is beautiful to watch when she dives. They discuss possibly visiting Amsterdam at worlds. When Pen texts Lukas to come to a party, he sets his phone aside, making the moment about the two of them.

They talk Swedish concepts like lagom and the Law of Jante, which prompts Lukas to share news he has told no one: early med-school acceptances to Penn and Emory, with a merit scholarship from Emory. Scarlett responds with quiet, wholehearted support. Before the night ends, Lukas says he’d love to see Amsterdam with her, underscoring their growing partnership.
