After their night in the shower, Warren and Bridgette’s relationship shifts, but not completely. Bridgette remains rude and sarcastic during the day, yet their nights are now slower, more intimate, and filled with meaningful eye contact and kissing. Bridgette still refuses to cuddle and kicks Warren out before sunrise, but he knows that she has let her guard down with him.

Warren invites Bridgette to run errands and considers asking her on a date but fears that it might ruin their dynamic. While debating, he talks to Sydney, who notes Bridgette’s meanness. Warren acknowledges it but defends her, citing her tough past. Before he and Bridgette leave, Warren teases her, making her assume that Sydney is coming, which annoys her. When she realizes that it’s just the two of them, she seems relieved but warns him against public affection. Nevertheless, he holds her hand—something she initially fights against but ultimately allows. This small gesture of physical connection is surprisingly intimate, making Warren hopeful about their evolving relationship.

The first stop on their errand run is Warren’s sister Whitney’s house.
