Jake: (voice shaky) Hey. Look, I know what you all heard. It was taken out of context, okay?
Zander: (staring) Context or not, you called Hailey a manipulative brat behind her back.
Jake: (frustrated) I was upset! I didn’t mean it like that — I was just—!
Milly: (hurt) You lied to us, Jake… after everything.
Luke: We trusted you. You said you wanted to change.
Jake: (panicking) I do! I didn’t know Drew was recording me — I was angry, I wasn’t thinking—!
Daisy: (quietly) Do you even care about any of us, or was this just a game to you?
Zander: (snaps) You know what? Maybe we were right all along. You don’t belong here. You never did.

Jake: (voice barely above a whisper) ...Seriously? After everything I’ve done? Everything I tried to change?
Sean: This isn’t about what you tried, Jake. It’s about what you chose.

Jake: (choked laugh) Wow. You’re all just waiting for an excuse, huh?
Zander: We were waiting for the truth. And now we’ve got it.
(Jake clenches his fists, shaking with rage and heartbreak. He doesn’t say another word — he just storms out.)

Luke: (quietly) Do you think… we went too far?
Milly: (tearing up) I don’t know anymore…
