After Carlotta refuses to allow Adriana to go listen to Sheyne play in the band, she takes off and runs into River at the bus station. Kevin encourages Joey to go for Jen if that's what he wants rather than think of all the reasons they shouldn't be together, and later Rex walks in on Jen and Joey in bed together. With Natalie's support, Jessica confesses to Cristian that she encountered Mitch on the docks that night, but with Antonio's help she realises she saw someone else there as well.
