Brad drives to the state park while imagining how excited Juniper will be to see him. He parks near the cabin, not paying attention to Xavier’s car. He hears a noise in the cabin and goes to investigate. He catches Xavier and Juniper having sex, and he grabs Xavier by the hair and threatens to kill him. Xavier pushes Brad, and Brad grabs him and chokes him before pushing him away. Xavier runs outside with his clothes and leaves, and Brad believes he consoles Juniper, who is crying.
Brad believes Juniper is now damaged, and he asks her what happened and why she didn’t call the police. She says that she and Xavier are dating and that the sex was consensual. Brad says that it looks to him like Juniper was raped, and he tries to convince her that she was. Juniper objects, and Brad starts taking pictures. While Juniper gets dressed, Brad works on a plan to frame Xavier as a rapist. He wants revenge against Xavier for “taking” Juniper’s virginity and against Valerie for suing him.
Xavier stops to get dressed and contemplates calling the police, but he believes that it would be pointless because they would support Brad. He cries and then heads home, and he does not see the police cars going to the cabin.
