Max wakes up in her dorm, completely exhausted after staying awake most of the night to research the source of her . She looks in the mirror and remarks: "Whoa, hello zombie-face. This is what happens when you research quantum physics all night...". After getting shower supplies, she exits her room and overhears and talking. As she enters the dorm shower room, she sees Kate who is brushing her teeth. Kate's greeting will be kind or accusing, depending on whether Max intervened or took a photo when Kate was accosted by the day before. Kate will ask if Max can bring a book back to her that she had borrowed as she needs it for class.

As Max takes a shower, she hears voices and peeks around the shower curtain to see Victoria and Taylor teasing Kate about the viral video of her allegedly setting a "tongue record" on video. Kate is clearly distressed and leaves the bathroom upset. Victoria continues to talk about Kate and says to Taylor, "I know Nathan hooked her up. And you know he has the good shit,"referring to . The bitchy conversation then turns to Max with Taylor saying Max is a weirdo with a dumb camera. Victoria remarks that she hates Max's " 'I'm so quirky' crap". before they both leave the bathroom, Victoria uses lipstick to leave a link to Kate's video on a bathroom mirror. Max has the option to wipe away the link before leaving the bathroom to head back to her dorm and retrieve Kate's book. If Max told on Nathan or made fun of Victoria in the previous episode, she will find her room trashed by either Nathan or Victoria (with a threatening message written on the wall by Nathan or on the mirror by Victoria); however, if Max didn't do any of this, they won't vandalize her room. After finding the book, she spills juice over it and must rewind and move the juice out of the way before getting the book.

When Max visits Kate to return the book, she finds her in a depressed state, and her room is in a state of untidiness, which Max knows is completely unlike Kate. They have a conversation about the video, and Kate will be adamant that all she remembers is feeling "sick and dizzy" after just one sip of wine, Nathan offering to take her to the hospital, waking up in a room that she thought looked like a hospital, and then waking up again outside her dorm room the next day. She asks Max for her advice on what to do next.

After advising Kate, Max leaves the dorm and after optionally speaking with Juliet Watson, Dana Ward, Brooke Scott, and Taylor, runs into . They have a conversation regarding David Madison, and Max thanks him for stepping in yesterday when Nathan manhandled her on the .

There is a outside with pamphlets on a table and other local residents (which includes a trucker, a police officer named Anderson Berry, an old guy, and a homeless woman) that Max can chat to nearby. After entering the diner, Max sees and from Blackwell sitting at a table near the door. Max sits at a table further down. Joyce sees Max and converses with her regarding Chloe, 's death, David, and the events of the previous night. The conversation will depend on Max's previous choices and involvement.

Max decides what to order and Joyce walks away, returning shortly with food. Chloe enters the diner and gets moaned at by her mother before sitting with Max. Chloe is still a bit skeptical regarding Max's rewind powers, so Max uses them to convince her. Chloe wants Max to tell her the contents of her pockets. After this is successful, Max tells Chloe she will predict the future by telling her four of the events that will unfold in the next 30 seconds. 90% convinced now, all Chloe seems to want to do is further test and "play" with Max's power, so she asks Max to come with her to one of her secret lairs. Max's nose suddenly starts bleeding, which she puts down to too much excitement from hanging out with Chloe again. Just before leaving the diner, Max gets a phone call from Kate Marsh. Chloe gets offended that somebody else wants Max's attention. Should Max answer it and risk irritating Chloe or ignore it and hurt Kate even further?
