Justin proposes to Lillian and she accepts. The moment is interrupted when someone shouts that Lynn had a car accident; Justin and Lillian rush to the hospital. At the hospital Lillian admits she is caring for Lynn to atone for past wrongs: an aunt died searching for someone, Lynn lost her mother, and Lillian feels responsible and sidelined by her parents and her cousin's favor. Under pressure she tells Justin to break up and peers mock her change. As people sent by Ms. Winfield close in and catcall, someone orders, "Don't run." Lillian is cornered, the confrontation unresolved.
