Episode: 5
During an earlier gathering, Ximena overhears Preston tell an acquaintance that she is incapable of having fun. She discards the drink she brought for him and walks away weeping. In the present, Preston pulls into a rest station. When Ximena steps into the shop for nausea pills, Preston and Blair Hayes drive off. Preston phones her later from the highway and states that driving back is too much of a hassle.
In a flashback, Ximena walks down a hallway carrying a hangover drink for Preston Whitaker. She stops when she hears him talking to a club member. Preston says Ximena is no fun, prompting her to toss the drink and leave crying.
Back on the road trip, the car pulls into a rest stop parking lot. A carsick Ximena exits to find medicine. Before she enters the store, Preston presses her to move fast so they can make it in time for the sunset.
Ximena purchases hot water and motion sickness medicine inside the convenience store. When she walks back outside, she discovers an empty parking space. She spots the white 4Runner driving down the highway and sprints after it, but the vehicle speeds away.
Preston calls Ximena on her cell phone to ask where she went. Blair Hayes tells Preston that turning around will make them miss sunset. Preston agrees with Blair and informs Ximena that driving back to pick her up is too much trouble.
“She doesn't really know how to have fun. Even if she came, she couldn't join the conversation.”
“Hurry up, we still have to make sunset.”
“I didn't get in the car, you didn't know?”
“Preston, we've already driven more than twenty miles. If we go back, we'll miss sunset.”
“Ximena, don't make this bigger than it is. We're on the highway now, turning around is a hassle.”
Preston remains on the phone with Ximena from twenty miles away, but he refuses to turn around because of the highway distance and Blair Hayes's insistence on catching the sunset. Ximena stands abandoned in the parking lot holding her medicine. Will she find her own way forward or wait for Preston to change his mind?
