Warner and Juliette have sex, which Juliette finds especially emotionally intimate. When Warner seems upset afterward, she worries she did something wrong, but he reassures her. He explains everything he learned from Castle and Anderson’s files. Juliette is horrified that everything she knew of her life is a lie. When Warner admits to keeping Emmaline prisoner even when she begged for mercy, Juliette flees, unable to stand hearing more. Warner follows until Juliette tells him she doesn’t know if she will ever trust him again.

Warner has a panic attack; Kenji, who saw a distressed Juliette fleeing, enters the room and helps Warner retrieve medication. When it takes effect and Warner’s panic abates, Kenji demands information. However, Warner takes too much medication and seems intoxicated and gleefully self-castigating, concerning Kenji. He grows alarmed when he sees Warner’s scars—Warner reveals in Ignite Me that these were due to his father whipping him annually on his birthday. The two bicker, playful despite their serious concerns, as Warner explains that he kept secrets about Juliette’s past from her, which caused her to break up with him when he told her the truth.
