- Chloe (in the kitchen filling a cup with water): "I hope you guys don't mind, but this day was way too weird, and I'm exhausted. I'm crossing today off as a bad try and going to bed."
- Sophia: "We should probably run some tests on you." Chloe (leaving the kitchen): "No, I'm fine, I just need a rest." Sophia: "Well — come by the lab tomorrow, then."
- Chloe leaves the room, with Zia behind her.
- Zia (catching up): "You sure you're okay?" Chloe: "I'm okay." Zia (puzzled): "All right. See you tomorrow, I guess."
- Chloe, smiling, closes her bedroom door, with Zia behind it.
- Chloe looks at the glass-covered shelf on the wall that wasn't there before.
- Inside, there's tons of horseback-riding awards, trophies, and first-place ribbons. Chloe: "I'm more okay than I've been in a long time."
