Josh asks Millie to help Peyton and Tyler move out of Belgrade. When Millie hears their parents outside the suite, she freezes, unable to leave her room. She waits until she hears Colette approaching with the move-in cart. Colette sees how anxious Millie is to face the parents. She tells Millie to stay in her room while she takes care of it. Millie goes to her room and listens as Colette deftly charms the parents, tying her hair and putting on a faux Southern accent.
After the parents leave, Colette goes back to Millie to check on her. Agatha’s text asking to talk comes in on Millie’s phone, along with an email from Aimee asking to meet the following Monday. Colette offers to cover Millie’s shift while she goes to see Agatha.
Agatha and Millie meet at a grocery parking lot. Millie immediately notices that Agatha is preparing to leave town. Agatha explains that she has resigned. They each struggle to express their feelings and regrets but fail to say anything definitive. Finally, Agatha takes out an envelope and asks Millie what the down payment on her house is.
