Nate apologizes because his father told him Jake worked out there from time to time. Jake offers to leave. Addy walks away. Jake calls after her, but she ignores him.

Nate and Addy approach the equipment shed and find Patrick in a panic, asking about an ambulance. Nate and Addy are confused until Patrick points out that Phoebe is semi-conscious on the floor. Patrick says that it is his fault because he lost his keys, and someone must have used them to break into the shed. On Phoebe’s arm is written one word: Practice.
