Damon and Jordan have been staring each other down for a few minutes now. Cam and Keisha stand in awkwardness but the looks are interrupted by Spencer and Dillon walking up to the door and Liv and Simone entering from the beach. "Omg what are y'all doing here?" Simone says walking over to the door. "Cam." "Spencer." Spencer signals for Dillon to follow him into the kitchen. "I always miss the good stuff." Dillon says following Spencer. "Cam and I's trip was canceled so we decided to come here. So... surprise?" Keisha says with an awkward smile.

Jordan has yet to take his eyes off Damon. Damon stands with his head hanging looking a bit upset. "If there's no room for us we can go." Cam says. "Jordan?" Simone says looking up toward him noticing the look on his face. Jordan glares at all 3 visitors for a minute. "Sleeping arrangements will be a task but hey, the more the merrier" he says forcing a smile. The three enter the beach house with smiles... well except for Damon. Simone sees both boys emotions and has some trouble deciding who to check up on first.

"I'm gonna see if we have some room upstairs." Jordan walks away as Cam and Keisha follow leaving Simone and Damon alone. "Where's Thea?" Simone asks standing over Damon as he sits on the couch. "Probably the tennis court. We broke up last night." Damon looks up at Simone with tear filled eyes. "Oh I'm sorry..." Simone can feel the awkwardness surrounding the room. Damon's silence grows longer and Simone takes that as a sign and walks away.

Simone knocks on Jordan's door. Although she got no response she still enters to see him sitting on the edge of the bed. Simone glances at Jordan's dresser to see their wedding picture behind a family photo. She picks up the picture and smiles at it. "You kept this?" She says joining him on the bed. "Yeah... it's a moment where I felt the happiest." Simone looks towards him as his head hangs low. "Before it all went to shit." Simone takes a deep breath after Jordan's words. "In my head we were gonna be together forever." Simone says still holding the picture.

"Life kind of came at us hard." Jordan says finally looking up at Simone. "Sometimes time apart is what brings people closer together..." he continues. The two stare into each other's eyes and begin to lean in when Dillon opens the door. "Liv and I are making burgers she wants to know the toppings y'all had in mind." Jordan looks at Simone one last time and heads downstairs with Dillon.

Later...

Olivia is making a homemade sauce as Spencer enters the kitchen. "Try this!" Liv says putting the spoon towards Spencer's mouth. He grabs the spoon and tastes the sauce. "It's good but damn it's spicy as hell." He says holding back a cough. "Oh It's not bad." she says rolling her eyes with a smile. "You got some sauce on the side of your mouth." She says taking the spoon back and sitting it in the bowl. Spencer wipes his mouth but misses the spot. "Let me get it." Liv swipes away the sauce with her thumb. A look between the two begins to linger. Spencer licks his lips and Liv turns around to grab the plate of burgers.

"Dinner is ready!" Liv shouts taking the plate toward the dining table. Everyone is finally seated at the table. It's quiet as Dillon looks around to see the awkward looks everyone is trying (and failing) to hide. "So Cam how's ATL been? Miss us down here in Cali?" Dillon asks with a smile. "It's been nice! Trying some new things. Met some good people." He smiles toward Keisha making her giggle. Damon gets up from the table taking his plate with him and heads upstairs. The awkwardness continues to linger until everyone eventually heads their separate ways.

Spencer has headed to his room with the door shut. Liv stops at the door and starts to knock but instead rests her head on the door. Oddly enough Spencer is on the other side doing the same as he wants to go to her door. Liv reaches into her pocket to pull out the necklace he gave her in Vegas. She begins to think back to the bonfire that was just a week ago...

Bonfire. 1 week ago.

Liv and Spencer are kissing as the sound of the waves roars behind them. Spencer moves from Liv's lips to her neck as his hand travels lower and lower sending chills across her body. "Spencer wait." Liv says causing Spencer to look up at her. "I... I'm sorry I'm not ready." Liv grabs her heels and runs off. Spencer stands on the beach looking down.

Present.

"I'm ready..." Liv whispers still leaning against the door. She walks away and heads to bed.

Meanwhile Simone opens her room door to see Damon standing there looking upset. He looks at her for a minute before breaking down into her arms. Jordan is heading to the bathroom when he sees the encounter. He takes a deep breath and heads back into his room. He picks up the wedding picture and looks at it for awhile as a single tear hits the photo. He puts in his drawer and goes to bed.
