Scenes

Bathroom mirror. This time, a stall door unlatches and a woman crosses to the next basin. IN THE MIRROR: JULIA. Red-eyed, swollen from crying, wearing a formal black dress. Hands under the tap. Hannah tries to mask her surprise. "Hey, are you okay?" Julia, wiping tears: "I'm fine." First real contact.

LOOP RESET. Bathroom mirror. Same shot as opener — Julia appears in the mirror again, red-eyed. "Hey, are you okay?" Julia: "I'm fine." Hannah: "You don't look fine." Julia: "I'm sorry, do I know you?" Hannah: "No." This time Hannah stays. Julia explains: "Awkward timing." Hannah: "That's okay. Nice dress." Julia: "Thanks. It's for a funeral."

Hannah at her original table (not Josh's). She watches across the room. Julia comes out of the bathroom, crosses to Jana at the counter, orders a latte. Her phone dies when trying to pay. Josh walks up and joins the counter. "Problem?" He offers to pay for Julia's latte. As his thumb swipes — THE HUM builds. We zoom in on the phone, zoom out: it's in HANNAH'S hand. THE HUM cuts. Hannah and Julia stare at each other. Julia smiles.

Julia and Hannah sit opposite each other. Julia sips the latte Josh bought her. They talk about Julia's sister Nathalie who died of cancer. Hannah empathises, asks too many questions, keeps saying sorry. Julia opens up about grief and learning to live with loss. Meanwhile, Josh is still reading his book at his table across the room.

FINAL BATHROOM LOOP RESET. Mirror. Julia in the mirror, red-eyed. Same exchange: "Hey, are you okay?" Julia: "I'm fine." Hannah: "You don't look fine." Julia: "Sorry, do I know you?" Hannah decides to change things: "Yes."

Julia and Hannah sit opposite each other once more. Julia stares in disbelief as Hannah explains the loops — dozens of them, the day repeating, trying to change the timeline. Hannah says they never met at this café before, but Josh and Julia did. She looks over at Josh's table — he smiles and gives a small wave of acknowledgement. Hannah tells Julia she hopes Julia will treat Josh well. Julia, moved despite herself, says Hannah made her forget about today. Hannah says "Julia. You'll be fine."

Friday night bar atmosphere. Will stands at a high-top with Iris and friends, slightly drunk. He threads through the crowd to the bar, where he meets HANNAH — she strikes up conversation. They talk about grief, Julia's sister, meeting people. Then JULIA steps up, introduces herself. She's with Hannah — puts her arm around her.

Same café, corner window table. JULIA in the black dress comes out of the bathroom and crosses to the counter where JANA serves her. Julia's phone dies trying to pay. WILL appears and swipes his phone to pay for her latte — taking Josh's original role. Julia is surprised and grateful. HANNAH is also present. Timeline has been altered.

Hotel room, morning. HANNAH and JULIA wake up — they've spent the night. A phone rings. The alarm clock reads 7:55.

Bar, evening. WILL and MAYA sit together in an alcove booth. HANNAH arrives and confronts Will. She's found him spending time with Maya. Tension and anger.

Bar. WILL slams HANNAH against the bar — physical altercation. JULIA notices from across the room and leaps up to help. Violence and intervention.

Post-funeral gathering at Julia's house. JULIA, SIMON and mourners gathered around Nathalie's memoriam. Subdued conversation, grief, small comforts.

Bar at night. JULIA is drunk. MIKE approaches her aggressively, hitting on her. She tries to brush him off.

Inside the student bar. JULIA, drunk, gets cut off by the bartender. She stumbles toward the exit.

Inside the café. HANNAH and JULIA sit together. "Tabitha paid." The timeline has shifted — details are different. JANA is visible in the background behind the counter.

Hotel room, morning. HANNAH wakes and finds JULIA. The alarm clock reads 7:57 (two minutes later than in 4.18 — a plot-critical difference). The phone did not ring. Something has changed.

Student dorm room. HANNAH explains time travel to JULIA using spilled sugar on a desk — echoing Will's café demonstration from 1.08. A student timetable on the wall, a laptop open to Maya's obituary and party social media page. Julia listens, processing.

Inside the packed party. HANNAH pushes through the crowd. She spots MAYA laughing with friends across the room. She moves toward her.

Classroom/lecture room. GRAHAM draws his time-loop diagram on the whiteboard — five circles rolling into one large loop. HANNAH and JULIA watch and listen. A tutorial in time travel mechanics.

Sunlit hallway. HANNAH and JULIA plan their next move. Will is referenced but not present. They strategise about how to fix things.

Julia's house. JULIA hugs NATHALIE — alive and warm. They cook together. A montage of domestic warmth, grief transformed into presence.

Final montage — café. HANNAH pays for Julia's coffee. They smile at each other. A callback to 2.14, roles reversed.

Café. Two coffees set down. JULIA sits opposite HANNAH. Warmth, stillness.

Café. Montage continues. Light moves across Hannah and Julia's faces. They smile.
