By the time Tammi and Kareem reach the Brooklyn Bridge, Tammi, who has a fear of heights, is too nervous to cross. Though Kareem does his best to support her, Tammi eventually ends up having a panic attack while trying to cross the bridge. Kareem carries her to a bench, where Tammi tells him to take the internship, assuming he is only being nice to try to butter her up. Kareem is offended by her suggestion, and she immediately feels guilty. While on the bench, Kareem also reveals that he is no longer dating Imani and has plans to attend Clark Atlanta, too. Tammi is overwhelmed by all the information, but when Kareem tells her he wants to be with her, she pulls him close for a kiss. When they pull apart, they realize that the lights have come back on in Manhattan. Kareem grabs Tammi’s hand and leads her toward Brooklyn.
