Scarlett and Lukas spend an unstructured day exploring Amsterdam, talking and staying physically close. Lukas ignores a team invitation to remain with Scarlett. In the hotel elevator they meet Australian sprinter Callum Vardy, who hints at a past sexual connection with Pen and Lukas. When Callum probes about joining them, Lukas declines.

Back in the room, Lukas asks Scarlett to help shave him for competition. The playful task becomes intimate care, with Scarlett taking charge as she de-hairs him. Curious about Callum’s comment, she asks about Pen. Lukas confirms he and Pen once tried threesomes to address a lackluster sex life after moving to the same city, involving multiple partners of different genders; he notes he is far more attracted to women.

Scarlett admits she is not sure she could share a partner. Lukas clarifies it was complicated, then reveals he once asked Pen to approach Scarlett after noticing her quiet exterior and sensing a hidden kinship. He explains Pen didn’t act because Scarlett had a boyfriend, though Pen teased him about his attraction afterward.

Scarlett resumes the shaving to steer away from the sadness the topic stirs. Before they finish, Lukas pulls her in and kisses her. The kiss feels different—more profound—marking a deepening bond on the eve of prelims.
