At Julie’s Place, Julie’s still shivering from being locked in the freezer by Doug. She thinks perhaps their place was being robbed and he locked her in there to protect her. He could be bound and gagged and ransomed. She starts to cry, thinking about what could be happening. Jack asks if they had a fight. She admits they did. Jack wonders if he wanted to take a moment. She guesses. “He’s 96 years old. He can’t get very far on foot,” she says. If she can’t call the cops, she will find him herself. She stomps out. She returns and says the line cook saw him and he didn’t even say hello to her.
