Libby comes home from school and starts preparing dinner, which today involves cooking it as well since her mom is staying out late. Libby starts washing the mushrooms for the meal and stares at one mushroom, noticing how small and shriveled it is. She wonders if the same thing can happen to a person’s soul and whether anyone would notice if it did. Libby decides to turn mushrooms into a positive and makes art cards with mushroom puns on them. Because of heavy rain, Libby puts her cards in individual plastic bags. She sneaks out to distribute them and decides to put one at the town hall. While there, she sees Jack standing outside and recognizes him as the boy from the news article.

Jack writes a letter to the school board and heads to the town hall, which he finds is closed. Unsure of what to do with his letter, knowing that it would get wet if he left it there, Jack turns to go. He sees Libby standing in the rain behind him, holding a plastic bag. Libby admits that she recognizes Jack and asks him what he was thinking when he said those things at the town hall meeting.
