After calling Justin several times and not getting an answer, Jess calls Alex, and he accompanies her to the pier where she is supposed to meet Bryce. There they find Bryce badly beaten by Zach. Bryce gives Jess the tape he made with his confession, as well as an apology for everything he did. Though Jess wants to leave after receiving the tape, Alex attempts to help Bryce up, which only angers Bryce. Alex pushes him into the water, where he drowns, and Jess tells Alex that they have to stay apart to make sure they never get caught.
