Emery returns and tells August what she learned from Jake. She tells him that she can’t sleep because of her nightmares about drowning herself and fears that she’s misremembering something that really happened. August pushes away her fears, and they talk about the past and their time since they last saw each other. He apologizes for leaving, and they spend the night making love.

August wakes up with Emery and sees a missed call from Eric. He calls him back and learns that the orchard was left to him in Henry’s original will. Eric suggests that he get a crime lawyer to prove that his signature was forged. When he returns, Emery is studying the photographs and points out a willow bracelet on Lily’s wrist. August asks Emery to go away with him. Emery is cautious but agrees to consider it.

Six hours before the fire, Emery works behind the bar while recent graduates and their families pour in. Lily arrives, and Emery reluctantly goes to sit with her. She tells Lily that she and August will be leaving the next day, and Lily is enraged. She storms away, leaving Emery alone.
