Luca helps Bee try on the wedding dress he designed for the film, which fits and flatters her. Bee gets texts from her moms, who are sad that she will miss Christmas, and from Jack Hart, who is still angry with her. Nolan invites Bee to meet him at the ice-skating rink. They joke about how they are doing things “backward,” having a date after becoming sexually intimate. As he asks about how she got started in her career, Nolan says, “I can tell you from experience that Bianca von Honey truly brings joy to the world. You are no villain” (269). Bee describes her experience in high school making out with a guy who wanted to keep things secret. When she wanted to break things off, he threatened to post one of the nude photos she’d sent him to a revenge-porn website, so she posted the picture first. The popularity of her post led her to begin her ClosedDoors account.

Nolan shares how INK’s manager took most of their profits. Bee admits that she always admired that Nolan was bisexual, like her, and that she’s been surprised by how much of porn caters only to straight male fantasies.
