We leave Leo in the hospital, and rejoin Allison as she defends her master's thesis. And her dignity.

Leo chooses Marilyn, wrapped in a cocoon of a hospital bed, and confronts love and grief.

"Concussion." The word that helped Kassandra understand what had happened, that June night, and what followed.

More memories of summer, news about where Leo is living now, and the importance of caring for something small.

Precious the dog takes Franny on a walk, and a trek down the lane of summer's memories.

Leo remembers the feeling well: torn between going back to Franny, who was crying behind her closed door; checking on Kassandra in the hospital after the bicycle accident; or finding out what the heck is going on with Marilyn, who is also in the hospital. Where does he go?

Leo's summer was busy, too. It started with a crash.

Students, faculty, and the pace of life return to something like normal: It's fall on Pine Street.

Allison wakes up with the sun, and with a sense of optimism and clarity about her future. She might be the only person on Pine Street to feel that way today.

Kassandra, despite the hardness of her head, has to go to the emergency room, and is taken there by a friend.
