In chloe’s room

Kate, Steph, and Alex all sat on bean bag chairs while Victoria, Max, Chloe and Rachel sat on the bed in a circle.

“Man, it’s been a long day,” Chloe said.

“So explain,” Steph said. “How is Rachel alive? And why is Victoria here?”

Victoria rolled her eyes and said. “I can hear you, Sophie.”

“Still not my name,” Steph said.

“Whatever, Grinch,” Victoria said.

Steph turned to Rachel, blushing a little as she did. Alex raised an eyebrow but stayed silent.

“So… explain,” Steph said.

Rachel relayed everything she had told Chloe to the others. All about her fake relationship with Frank to how she ended up with Jefferson and everything that happened leading up to this point.

“Holy shit,” Steph said. “That’s… that’s a lot. Man… poor Nathan. I mean… shit.”

Alex wrapped an arm around Steph. Kate looked blankly still processing everything that was said. “Kate?” Alex asked. “Are you okay?”

Kate look startled and slowly nodded. “Y-yeah… it’s just… a lot…”

Alex nodded seemingly understanding what Kate was saying. “Just know that we’re hear for you. For all of you. If you need it.”

Kate smiled. “Thanks. I’m okay. Really. This is just… it makes me feel better.”

Victoria looked away as Kate turned towards her. Kate frowned. But Victoria nibbled her bottom lip. “Just say it,” Alex said as she looked at Victoria. “It’ll be better that way.”

Victoria sighed. “Kate, I’m sorry about the video. It was a really bitch move. I should never have shared it let alone filmed it.”

Kate nodded. “It’s okay…”

“Alright, enough sappiness,” Chloe said. “We need to wind down with something more liberating. Let’s do something?”
