However, it is then revealed that Caroline, Josh's girlfriend, has just broken up with him. This makes Josh very sad so Gabi tries to make him feel better by showing him that they can still eat the dinner she made.

When their conversation is over, Gabi tries to crawl away but Josh sees her and apologizes for what happened the night before. He gives Gabi the chef position which makes her happy and she thanks him.

She puts the food on the table and while leaving the room she notices one of her shoes that she had left in the room after sleeping with Josh.
