The four girls are standing around a small table at the anniversary party that Kie's parents are having.
"Are you two kidding me? That doesn't even make sense." Kie says. "Ward and Patrick are on this island? Like, the same island we are on?"
"Yes, they're back. Mm-hmm." Sarah nods.
"The second I see them, I'm turning them in, I swear." Kie says. "I don't know how you guys do it. Every time I wanna complain about my dad, I just think your dads."
"You're welcome?" Brooklyn says.
"Oh, glad to be of service." Sarah says.
"Works every time." Kie says. "It's great."
"I'm glad we could help." Sarah says.
"I don't even have a dad." Erin comments.
"You didn't tell me Topper was gonna be here." Sarah says after spotting the blonde boy.
"Sorry. My mom invited, like, the whole island." Kie says.
"Shit." Sarah mutters.
"It's not a big deal." Kie dismisses. "We'll keep him away."
"Yeah. Sarah protection squad." Brooklyn says.
"Exactly." Erin says, Kie nodding along.

"Here's the plan. Get the girls, go find Pope and Cleo, get down to South America as soon as possible. Cool?" John B asks as the brothers tie the boat off.
"Seems a bit vague, I gotta say, John B. Also, I don't got a passport, dog." JJ says.
"Hey, look, don't bore me with the details, all right?" John B asks. "Hey, look at me." He whistles.
"Yeah." JJ turns back to him.
"I'm gonna get Sarah. You're gonna get Brooke, Zack's gonna get Erin, one of you get Kie, little rendezvous mission. Back on the boat, get out of here." John B says.
"Yeah, uh... I-I mean, given what happened this morning, we, uh--"
"Look, just say it back." Zack says. "Or apologize or something. Get your girl back, dumbass."
"She's not my girl." JJ huffs.
"Yeah, cause you're being a wimp." Zack mutters.
"Shut up, man." JJ smacks him.
"Look, dude, I get it, okay? You don't like people getting close, but she's kinda already close, you know? Letting her completely in doesn't mean she's gonna dip at any point in time. I know it's scary, but sometimes you just gotta jump, bro."
"Yeah, uh... I'll stay here." JJ says.
"What?" Zack asks.
"No. No, no. That's not what he was saying." John B says.
"I'll stay right here. I got your six." JJ promises. "You two can, uh, double up or something."
"Dude." Zack rolls his eyes.
"Yep. No, that's great." John B says.
"I'll keep her running, dog." JJ sits down.
"Great." John B mumbles, walking off.
"J--"
"Lookout's are important." JJ says.
"You're gonna have to talk to her sooner or later, dumbass." Zack says, walking off.
"Oh, great." Kie comments, seeing Topper walk over.
"Ooh." Erin winces.
