During lunch, Scott spots Jean eating at a table with Duncan. Feeling rejected, he heads for Kurt’s table. They talk about the upcoming carnival and dates. Kurt asks if Scott “is bring anyone”. Scott’s eyes shift over to Jean, and scowls at Duncan, muttering “doubtful”. Tabitha comes over to return Kurt’s book and heads for the soda machine.
Returning back to the mansion, Tabitha finds her father. Cornered, she has no chance to avoid him.
