Over breakfast at the Agate, Virgil reads in the newspaper that Josephine Sayles, the barista in Twin Ports who he saw laughing with Adam, has gone missing. Surprisingly, Virgil cries, remembering a time when he was in the coffee shop and had a traumatic flashback to his accident. When he returns home, Fergus Flint calls and reports that none of the movie producers he’s contacted want to press charges. Fergus has arranged for someone to collect and transport the films to storage. He requests that Virgil not show the movies as they are now considered historical artifacts, and if they get damaged, it could impact his culpability.

Nadine says Adam left her a note promising to leave Bjorn alone. She hasn’t told Bjorn about her and Virgil, but she suspects he will take the news well. She declares Virgil her “favorite person in Greenstone” (267). Nadine invites him to dinner, but Virgil promises Lily he’ll sit with Galen while he stalks the sturgeon. Nadine says to send Bjorn while she and Virgil run the movie. She tells him it’s time to return to the booth, even if he has to wear headphones.
