In Berrington, Cassandra, James, Rachel and Hunter are on the porch, before they see Kayla and Savannah carrying some pillows.
Cassandra: Uh, Kayla, what are you doing with those pillows?
Cassandra points at the pillows.
Kayla: Oh. Well, I wanted to throw one last hoedown before the big fight.
Hunter: A party?
Kayla: I know....and I know it's strange throwing a party...but people need something to lift their spirits right about now.
James: Yeah, this could be our last chance.
Kayla: I wanted to make tea for everyone. Could I burrow your heater? Mine broke.
Cassandra nods.
Rachel: I'll help, too.
Kayla raises an eyebrow to Hunter, who walks out on the porch.
Kayla: Really?
Hunter: Yeah...I know I'm not of this place, but I'm a great artist.
Savannah: We could use some art.
Kayla nods.
Kayla: Okay. You two make us something colorful to hang up.
Savannah: Can I help them, Kayla?
Kayla looks down at Savannah, then back at Rachel.
Rachel: I'll keep an eye on her. Don't worry.
Kayla sighs.
Kayla: Go ahead.
Savannah: Thanks.
Savannah rushes up to Rachel, then looks up at Hunter.
Savannah: What's your name?
Hunter: Uh...I'm Hunter.
Savannah: I'm Savannah.
Savannah turns and points at Kayla.
Savannah: That's my sister, Kayla. She's a nurse and she's currently in relationship with Shawn.
Kayla: Savannah!
Savannah: What? It's true.
Hunter: Well, Savannah....you and me are gonna be best buds, right?
Hunter holds out his fist as Savannah then fist bumps her.
Rachel: Come on, sweetie.
Rachel, Hunter and Savannah walk into the house. Kayla turns to James and Cassandra.
James: So, where's the party going to be at?
Kayla: Sylvester's saloon. Hey, can you two look around Berrington and see if you can find anything to liven the party?
James: Sure, Kayla.
Meanwhile, Shawn starts walking around Berrington starting with the grounds and slowly working his way inside. On a whim, he finds some plastic flowers, blue dafodils, that he thinks Kayla might like for the party. Shawn then brushes away some of the grim covering the petals and smiles slightly.
Shawn: Mom would've loved these....
Shawn carefully stows them away and walks up to the second floor of the admin building. He checks the five rooms with no luck before stumbling in the sixth room. He then notices a few hair accessories and beads littering a broken desk. Shawn's about to walk out again when he something shiny glints, catching his eye and making him squint. He steps back into the room and notices it came from the desk. Upon picking it up and inspecting it, Shawn notices that it's a charm, which is a silver horse. Shawn smiles, forming an eye in his head.
