Sunset on the front steps of a quiet street. Hannah has her knees drawn up; Will walks up and sits beside her. They discuss what went wrong — Josh was with someone else, the original timeline is lost forever. Will talks about destiny and control. Hannah reveals she ran into an earlier version of Will before meeting Josh. They agree to keep trying — Hannah says "We're just beginning."
INTERCUT with 1.17. Will alone at sunset. He opens his notebook — ON THE PAGES: dozens of handwritten notes, drawings, and diagrams. He turns a page. A photograph of Will and Hannah as a couple. He watches her walk away. A small, controlled smile.
