Ayana reflects on how Wentworth has disappeared from the fashion world without explanation. She suspects Vuk might be the reason behind it. At the Valhalla Club, she encounters Maya Singh, one of the girls who was at the impromptu laser tag game during her bachelorette party. They quickly strike up a friendship, one Ayana feels is genuine for once.
When Vuk arrives, Ayana heads toward the secluded library. Vuk follows, and he confronts her on why she chose to see him first after Wentworth’s sexual assault. Ayana admits that he was simply the person she wanted to see in that moment. She admits that she doesn’t love Jordan romantically, and he does not love her either. As tension rises between them, Vuk asks her to remove her engagement ring and kisses her. When they overhear people in the corridor, Vuk quickly leaves. Rather than feel guilty, however, Ayana feels alive and doesn’t move to put her ring back on.
Despite Roman’s assurance that the Brotherhood is laying low for now, Vuk remains on edge as he watches a movie with Jordan. He asks Jordan why he’s marrying Ayana, since Jordan had once sworn to never marry. Jordan claims to have changed his mind.
