Back at the laundromat, Prep and Goth sit together in silence before Prep starts talking. He tells Goth that he likes moments like those where he's just vibing with Goth. Goth holds Prep's face and kisses him, before telling him he felt the same way since the two became childhood friends. Goth says that he cares about Prep, regardless of if they're dating, and the two hug.

Goth later notices that his clothes are missing and goes to ask Prep where his sweater is. He finds Prep wearing it, and Prep claims it's not what Goth thinks.
