The next morning, Frank texts Joy that they should talk while she’s out shopping for her college dorm. Since his parents are at The Store, he invites her to his house. While he waits, he finds an old suitcase filled with photos and memorabilia from his parents’ lives when they were young. It makes Frank sad to think of how their stories will soon come to an end, with him knowing so little about them.
When Joy arrives, a crying Frank shows her the items in the suitcase. Realizing Frank needs her comfort, Joy initiates sex before he reveals his father’s diagnosis. Before they part ways, they decide to keep their relationship secret, so as to not upset Frank’s father.
The students finish up their senior year with more freedom and celebration. Frank pulls Q aside to update him on his father’s diagnosis, and Q cries, wondering aloud if they will also be doomed to lose their friendship one day. Frank claims this won’t happen and makes Q laugh.
Later, Frank and Joy talk and realize that the five Korean American families are now divided between their families. Although Frank asks Joy to not let the conflict impact them, she knows it will.
