City park café terrace. Tree shade, distant chatter. Hannah arrives in a rush, spots JOSH reading a book at a table, and sits across from him. She comments on his Flannery O'Connor novel. They flirt — easy, natural chemistry. She breaks down briefly; he kneels beside her. Then JULIA steps into the frame — striking, late twenties. She's Josh's girlfriend. Josh introduces Hannah. Julia notices Hannah looks shaken. Josh and Julia leave; Hannah forces composure until they're gone, then bolts. |
FLASHBACK to the original park café meeting (same setting as 1.13). Tree shade dapples the terrace. HANNAH sits at a table. JOSH at another table, reading, smiling at her. WILL and GRAHAM watch from the trees at a distance. Graham confronts Will about creating chaos. |
