Later, he finds her on the rooftop, and Ingrid admits she thought it was a date. She climbs up onto the railing and sits facing the edge. Ben tries to talk her into getting down.

Carina talks with Gibson about letting all of his grief out to let the light back in. However, at that moment, Travis’ mom realizes there is smoke coming from the oven. The firefighters can’t get the fire extinguisher into the oven because it’s set to clean instead of bake.
