Same Time Next Summer

Laurel makes margaritas before dinner. Sam doesn’t finish hers, afraid of getting drunk. She notices that Jack has several and gets tipsy fast. At one point, he alludes to Sam’s work issues and she fears he’ll reveal more. She’s grateful when he goes to bed before revealing the truth.

Unable to sleep or focus on her book, Sam stays awake thinking about Jack, work, and the future. Then she realizes she needs to talk to Wyatt and sneaks into the treehouse. She’s surprised by how he’s changed the space. They talk about the past and apologize for hurting each other. Wyatt admits he didn’t realize how hurt Sam was and that he feared returning to the beach all those years ago. They catch up about their personal lives, too. Sam hears herself admitting that she might lose her job. She explains that Eleanor is upset with her for suggesting a client stage a flash mob to resolve their HR problem. The client loved the idea but it wasn’t in line with Human Corps’s standards. She and Wyatt laugh about the issue, and Sam feels better.

Sam then asks about Wyatt’s work and girlfriend. He insists he isn’t dating anyone.
