When Matt says that he had never noticed a weak moment in their relationship, Anne accuses him of "only walking in [his] shoes."

=== 10 Months, 14 Days, 6 Hours Before === Matt is driving himself and Anne to dinner, where the two planned on finally discussing their college plans. Matt, unable to contain himself any further, tells Anne that he will be going to Tamner University. Anne, now visibly upset, tells Matt that she will also be attending Tamner, but only because her family can't afford to send her to Redlyn University. Matt seems happy that the two will be going to the same school, while Anne is upset that she will not be attending her dream school.

=== 3 Months After === Anne tells Matt that he still "doesn't get it".

=== 10 Months, 12 Days, 18 Hours Before === Anne visits her old high school friend, Ely Olivette, at Tamner. She opens up to Ely about her problems with Redlyn and Matt, and Ely is (characteristically) very sympathetic.

=== 3 Months After === Matt says that he never wanted to be "the thing that stood in [Anne's] way". Anne claims that if she'd gotten the scholarship, Matt would have asked her to stay.

=== 10 Months, 14 Days, 5 Hours Before === Matt adds the date into The Notebook, but without a name.

Trivia

 * This is the only episode to feature Ely Olivette.
 * The Ely Olivette scene was in the final Second Time script, but was due to the fact that the production was running behind schedule, it was not filmed with the rest of the series in Spring 2014. The producers decided to cut the scene altogether, but when the episode was being edited, it was determined that it was a necessary scene for the series, so it was quickly filmed just before the episode was released.
 * This scene is also the only scene of the series to be filmed on a BlackMagic Pocket Cinema Camera, which was chosen due to the low-light nature of the scene.
 * This episode contains the only out-of-order flashbacks - the 1st and 3rd flashbacks (car scenes) both take place on the same day, several days before the 2nd one (Ely Olivette scene).
