Olivia compares James’s erection to a steel pipe that’s 12 inches long. He orders her not to orgasm and explains the meaning of “edging” before he rips off her underwear and performs oral sex on her. James claims Olivia is his until she leaves in September, and she says she wants him to “own” her. He puts on a condom, and they have vaginal sex until they each have intense orgasms.

Olivia is conflicted by her desire for a fling and a substantial relationship. She uses the word “dude” and reveals she’s from San Diego, but she can’t surf. James jokes that he learned “water skills” when he was a lifeguard at his community pool. Olivia is disappointed that James’s “water skills” didn’t come from a dramatic source.

Olivia and James tiptoe around personal issues while conceding their mutual infatuation with each other. When referring to his own history and secrets, James brings up the film The Matrix and claims Olivia would choose the blue pill (ignorance) over the red pill (the truth).

Kelly and Olivia discuss James on the phone, and Kelly suggests breaking into his apartment and searching his medicine cabinet. Olivia notes that she is on antidepressants, but Kelly claims Olivia’s medication isn’t a secret.
