The cast and crew of Ever After travel to Munich, Germany. Dev experiences a depressive episode upon arrival. He refuses to go sightseeing with Charlie, Skylar, and Jules, eats poorly, sleeps on set, and neglects his hygiene. Unaware Dev has depression, Charlie mistakes Dev’s behavior as heartache and avoidance after New Orleans.
Charlie confides in Parisa that he has developed strong feelings for Dev. Parisa encourages Charlie to confront Dev about his feelings and she points out how Dev is experiencing a depressive episode. Charlie argues with Parisa about Dev’s mental health as he thinks about Dev’s fun-loving personality. He recalls Dev explaining how Ryan only loved him when he was “fun Dev,” and Charlie realizes that Parisa’s intuition about Dev’s mental health is correct.
Charlie finds Dev curled in a ball in bed at the hotel, a very concerned Jules by his side. Charlie forces his way into the bed with Dev, holding him and asking him what he needs. Dev asks Charlie to stay, so Charlie sleeps by Dev’s side all night. When he wakes the following morning, Dev feels as though he “almost drowned but didn’t” (191). He showers while Charlie retrieves his coffee.
Charlie attempts to talk with Dev about his depression, but Dev shuts him out.
