Janis asks if Demetri's talked to his fiancée Zoey about this, and Demetri wryly points out, "In my experience, fiancées aren't really big on their grooms dying before the wedding." Yeah, but if she's a control-freak bride, she'll be even more upset if she doesn't have advance notice. After all, a lot of those deposits are non-refundable. Demetri keeps going, "It ruins the first dance -- heavy corpse. It's bad wedding etiquette or something." Well, it makes pre-cana challenging, at the very least. Janis reasons, "If you're going to be dead -- and that's a big if -- don't you kind of wanna know how it happens?" Demetri is not a big fan of spoilers, but Janis talks him into posting on Mosaic with "If you know how it's going to happen, maybe you can prevent it. And maybe there's someone out there who has information that can help you."
Meanwhile, out at stately Benfield manor, we see Mark brooding before a roaring fire. Olivia comes down, protesting that it's 3 a.m., and Mark mutters about not wanting to wake Olivia. He toasts her with "ginger ale?" She declines and Mark knocks back his Canada Dry. They make some small talk about his workday, and Mark finally reveals why he's so damn broody: "At work, I'm making moves [by] betting the future's going to happen as I saw it. But here at home, with you, I'm praying it doesn't." He takes another drink, and we see that Mark's not wearing Charlie's bracelet anymore.
Olivia asks if she did the right thing telling Mark about Lloyd in her flashforward, and he assures her that she did. "We shouldn't keep secrets from each other," says the man who is busy flashing back to his flashforward of his drinking. "Why'd you make a fire?" Olivia asks. "No reason," Mark replies, as we see the friendship bracelet merrily burning away. Good to know Mark's on board with that total transparency thing!
