As Leigheanna is taking screenshot of all the proof against Kaitlin provided by Bridie, the rest of the group is trying to revitalize the party mood having some extra drinks and restarting music.

Somehow, Aaron is finding himself attracted by the new girl. She's quiet, cheerful and polite. Some traits that are becoming harder to find in a girl.

Meanwhile, Leigheanna is sharing all the data with Abbie and is ready to hit "send" when she receives yet another call. Once again, it's her cousin. Before answering, however, Leigheanna actually hits "send".

Phone call between Abbie and Leigheanna

Abbie: Leighy, sorry if the phone call ended that way. My phone was flat and I forgot to charge it.

Leigheanna: Don't worry, Abbie. Anyway, could you check your WhatsApp? I've just sent you something you may want to see.

Abbie: Oh, thank you, Leighy. I'll take a look at it in the morning. Good night.

Leigheanna: Night.

As the phone call ends, Leigheanna doesn't care about Kaitlin anymore. She wants to enjoy herself; this is why she takes Bridie's proof and puts it back in her backpack. Then, Rowan approaches her. He wants some time with her alone.

Rowan: Hi, sweetheart.

Leigheanna: Hehe, you should know how I react to 'sweetheart', love.

Rowan: Hehe. Why don't we go outdoors and watch the stars?

Leigheanna: That's a perfect idea.

The two of them head to the balcony and lie on the floor. At first, they attempt to count stars, but, as they realize it's an impossible task, they resort to laughing, giggling and sharing sweet kisses. Then, she places her head on his chest, and, without realizing that, falls asleep.

If Leigheanna is glad that she can sleep, Abbie can't at all. Leigheanna's messages shocked her to the point that she can't think of anything else.

Seeing how Kaitlin poorly treated Neva and her cousins in her absence is crippling her heart. Learning about her mother's lies to Meara, Alaria and the others makes her want to end things with her once for all.

And, more importantly, realizing that Leigheanna and Bridgette have more than a reason to hate Kaitlin is making her much stronger. She promises that she'll show her aunt the evidence before it becomes too late.

Abbie: At least, she knows what to do.

Her thoughts are slowly fading in the sleep as she closes her eyes after letting her head drop on the soft pillows. The stars are twinkling outside, barely illuminating her face.
