After twenty-eight hours of being awake in Vegas, Joe checks into his hotel in Rhode Island and sleeps before going to the beach by the Salinger house. He knocks on the door to the house and pretends to be a deliveryman. A young woman asks him what he’s doing and then calls for her mom. The mom says that flowers and gifts have to go to the battered women’s shelter in Fall River. She gives him a five-dollar bill and tells him to keep the food, which Joe eats in his hotel. Love calls to complain about someone at work and vents about Forty. She says he disappeared for two months once. Joe hangs up and gets on Tinder, where he finds Jessica Salinger, the woman who let Joe into the house and Peach’s cousin, who is at a restaurant Scuppers by the Bay.
He goes to the restaurant and sees Jessica in a chair, sitting with a friend named Dana. He smiles at the friend. Dana is obviously bored. Joe introduces himself as Brian Stanley and tells Dana she is gorgeous in order to use Dana as an excuse to spend more time in the Salinger house.
