While waiting for Pope, the group decided to drive around. They ended up at a shop with the girls getting out to get drinks and look around while the guys stayed in the car. The topic of Sarah and John B's argument came up as the girls were making their way back to the car. Estrella falling behind a little due to her limp, but Charlotte was right beside her.
"Of course I thanked Topper." Sarah says, "He saved my life, and I'd put him through so much already. And you'd think that that is the crime of the century."
"Tell me about it." Kie scoffs, "All of this crazy shit's happening, and Pope's giving me the silent treatment for not being in love with him."
Estrella's eyes could've fallen out of head at how far they rolled back. She knew Pope wasn't being dramatic. She's had one too many conversations with him about Kie going back and forth with her feelings. She knew Pope was hurt considering the night he and Kie had spent together. So to hear Kie downplay his feelings, made her upset, but there was too much happening for an argument to occur.
"And we're the dramatic ones." Sarah smirks as they climb into the car
"Sure." Kie chuckles as she gets in with Charlotte following her. Estrella sighs as she sets her cup down in the car before sliding in. She groans as she closes the door.
"What'd you get?" JJ says. Before Estrella can react, he reaches back and snatches her drink off of the floor.
Estrella frowns, "Yeah, of course, you can have some."

"There he is." JJ says as they pull up to the home. Pope made his way down the steps as Estrella slides the door open. She moves aside as he climbs in and closes the door behind him. They all look to him as he sits down.
"So, how'd it go?" John B asks hesitantly
Pope looks down to Estrella who furrows her brows, "Shit just got way more personal."

The teens sat outside of Heyward's under a canopy as it started to rain. All of them holding a beer aside from Pope and Charlotte.
"I still can't believe that you're related to Denmark Tanny." John B says standing beside JJ
"Uh-huh." JJ smiles
John B turns to Pope, "Are we in the presence of a royal?"
"A king?" JJ says in a British accent, "We shall crown him. All hail the lord of Tannyhill! We're not worthy!"
Pope rolls his eyes as his friends playfully bow to him, "Everybody relax. Can we relax, please?"
"Relocate the Cat's Ass, question mark?" Sarah suggests
"I'm with that." JJ says
"How soon can we move in?" Kie says
"Cause I don't have a place to stay."
