Jennette has found an eating disorder specialist online and is surprised when she arrives to a consultation that she will be weighed. She asks the specialist, Jeff, if she has to do it. Jeff says that she does, but she does not need to see the number. He just needs the information for clinical purposes. He tells her that he knows it’s a very emotionally difficult thing, and he has had patients react violently. He says that she needs to face all of the painful aspects of her relationship with her body in order to get better, but he will help her through it.
Jennette sits across from Steven at a bar as he marvels at the idea that he thought he was Jesus. After his time in the psychiatric hospital, he was put on lithium, and seemed to get back to his old self. Looking at Steven in the bar, Jennette is comforted in the same way she was when she would take in her mother after one of her health scares. She feels assured by how he talks about his delusions as something in the past. He apologizes for how much that must have scared her and says that he is glad that they are both working on themselves now.
