The protagonist of Grace’s fiction, Gublet, considers running away from home or killing himself. Grace prepares for Sophie’s visit. As she brushes Jake’s hair, she imagines smashing his head. She sets him down and hits herself repeatedly.

Sophie arrives with a walnut cake. Grace has a potentially fatal nut allergy. Grace makes sure that Sophie and Callum spend a lot of time alone together, and she also forces Sophie to hold Jake. Sophie wishes she could be less attracted to Callum. Grace observes how good Sophie is with Jake and how positively he responds to her. Grace takes Jake out of the room for a while, and Callum and Sophie hit it off, growing increasingly flirtatious. Enigma and Rose arrive with the keys to Connie’s house.
