She tells him he doesn't know what she's thinking, and right now, she's thinking there's no reason for her to turn and leave just because Eve's there. She says that his life is no concern of hers now, just as her life is none of his business. He tells her that's detached, but she counters by saying it's mature. Then she tells Jack she was just coming to talk to him about which weekends he would have the kids, but she says she'll e-mail it to him instead and he can look it over and make whatever changes he needs to make and send it back to her. Carly leaves, and Eve apologizes to Jack, but he tells her it's no big deal.

On the way to the lake, Jade asks Luke to stop the car because she's suddenly nervous about finding Will and telling him how she feels about him. Luke offers her encouragement, saying it's best to get it out in the open and see what happens. She tells him she thinks she'll get out and walk the rest of the way, so she can collect her thoughts, and she asks him to tell Will she's looking for him if he sees him.
At Raven Lake, Gwen tells Casey to go swimming with his "fans" and she'll unpack. After he leaves, Will walks up behind Gwen and tells her he hopes she's not mad that he came up there. She says she'd been thinking in the car that they really need to talk, and Will tells her that this time, he'll just listen and try to act like an adult, and maybe if he acts like one, he'll become one. They agree to go for a walk, but Luke comes up and greets them and then tells Will that Jade is looking for him, much to Gwen's disgust.
Someone has been watching the teens jumping into the lake, and that person goes to a tree, reaches in a backpack, takes out black gloves and clothing, and picks up a butcher knife.
