Ellie wakes up to a knock at her door, she crawls out of her bed and opens the door to see Jesse.

Ellie: Hey.

Jesse: Morning!

Ellie: Sorry, I totally overslept. Just give me a minute, and I'll get dressed.

Jesse: I heard you had quite a night after I left.

Ellie: I.. She kissed me. It was just Dina being Dina. She didn't mean anything by it.

Jesse: I was talking about your fight with Seth. Wait... you kissed Dina?

Ellie: Oh. I thought that's--

Jesse: We're broken up one week and you make a move on my girl?

Ellie: No... She was probably just trying to make you jealous. I didn't... I would never... Oh, fuck, this is awkward.

Jesse: I'm messing with you, man. I don't care. Get dressed.

Ellie: You're the worst.

She wants to close the door, but Jesse stops her.

Jesse: It's kind of fucked up you did that.

Ellie: (scoffs)

She closes the door. Jesse speaks from behind the door.

Jesse: Get your stuff together, we're already late!

Ellie: Hey, is Joel up?

Jesse: (behind the door) We got reports of infected out north. Maria sent him and Tommy out early to scout.

Ellie: That sucks.

Jesse: Yep. Can't imagine they got much sleep. Definitely not as much as you.

Ellie: Shut up. I was just about to get up.

Jesse: Mm-hmm.

Ellie: I was.

She goes out of the house.

Jesse: You got everything?

Ellie: Yes.

Jesse: Heads up, you're the talk of the town this morning.

Ellie:
Ugh. What?

Jesse: Let me see if I got this right: you kissed Dina -

Ellie:
She kissed me.

Jesse:
Which triggered Seth to call you a... not-so-nice word...

Ellie: Yep.

Jesse: Then Joel decked him--

Ellie: More of a push.

Jesse:
And then you got mad at Joel? That part confused me.

Ellie: It was a strange night. man.

Jesse:
Sounds exciting. Maria wants a word with you.

Ellie: Where is she?

Jesse:
The diner.

Ellie: Is this about Seth?

Jesse: No clue.

Ellie: Just tell her you never saw me.

Jesse: Nope.

Ellie: Where's your fucking loyalty?

Jesse: Excuse me?

Ellie: Hey, so... We're okay, right?

Jesse: You and me? Yeah, of course. Dina and I are done. I think.

Ellie: I know. I just didn't want you to think--

Jesse: Ellie, we're cool. Promise.

Ellie: Thanks.

Ellie and Jesse enter the diner.

Jesse: Want to grab some breakfast?

Ellie: No. Where's Maria?

Jesse: In the back.

A lot of people gathered at the diner. Ellie walks through the crowd

Maria: Ellie! There you are. C'mere. Seth's got something he wants to say to you

Ellie: I don't want to hear what that bigot has to say

Maria: Do it for me. Please.

Ellie: Fine.

Maria: Seth! Seth, C'mere.

Ellie: Fuck me.

Seth: Hey. Look, last night... I was drinking too much. I'm trying to say I'm sorry. Maria tells me that you and Dina are headed out. I, uh, made you some sandwiches.

Seth: They're steak.

Maria: Thank you, Seth.

Seth: Yeah. Well, uh... You be safe out there.

Ellie: Yup.

Seth goes to the back room.

Jesse: What you got there?

Ellie: Bigot sandwiches.

Jesse: Mm. Smells good.

Ellie: They're yours.

Jesse: You sure?

Ellie: It's fine.

Maria: Let me walk you out.

Jesse: Okay.
