Meanwhile, Sean tried to give Lily some soothing jazz music, but she refused to listen. Then, Ava tried to talk with Lily. Ava said she would gladly switch lives with Lily if it would help ease her fears. This did not help either and Lily became more agitated. Then, Jonathan entered.

Greenlee was scared and wondered if Zach might hurt her. Zach explained that he wanted to blindfold her and give her a drink. Then, Zach handed her the bottle of liquor they found. Greenlee did not want to drink, but Zach insisted. As Greenlee pulled swigs from the bottle she recalled the last time she was trapped with skeletal remains. Greenlee recounted that she stayed strong when Jonathan held her hostage with his dead brother, Braden. Greenlee asserted that if she could survive that, she could survive this. Then, Greenlee blindfolded herself and imagined going home to Aidan as Zach continued to dig.
Kendall boasted to Aidan that she helped him figure out that Zach and Greenlee were together.
