Win admires the restaurant where Bo has brought her and looks around at the families. He proposes that they come up with a name for the baby. When he says that his full name is Robert Hugo August Durand, Win suggests the name August. Bo immediately nicknames the child “Gus.” Bo’s friend Kevin owns the restaurant and promises to make Win whatever she wants. Then, Bo shares his concern that the child will want to be physically active and he won’t be able to keep up. Win shares her concerns about her abilities, noting how many expressions around motherhood involve needing an extra set of hands or having one’s hands full. Bo promises that they will find solutions together.

Win is proud and pleased when she sees the student she is tutoring, Henry, succeed using the techniques she has shown him. Win feels stronger and more confident lately, thanks to Bo’s belief in her capabilities. Henry’s father, James, offers to invest in Win’s camp. Cam, the lifeguard, tries asking Win out, and she explains that her roommate situation is complicated.
