Later that evening, Daphne drives Justin around as he kvetches about the visit. "'Honey.' 'Sweetheart.' 'Sunshine.' Chris Hobbes bashes me in the head, and suddenly everyone wants to infantilize me!" Daphne points out that he could have died. Justin sarcastically replies, "I was there." Daphne says that everyone's going to freak when they realize he bailed. Justin says he left a note: "Back soon. Love and kisses." Daphne giggles, 'cause Justin's soooo cool. Three guesses as to where they're headed. Yup. Daphne drops Justin off on Liberty Avenue, at exactly the same spot we first saw him in the series premiere. Justin awkwardly puts a cigarette in his mouth and lights it. Daphne asks, "Will you be okay?" Oh, sure. He just got out of the hospital, he can only use one hand, he's obsessing over Brian, and it's his first time outside in over a month. He'll be fine. Don't worry your pretty little head about it. Justin says that he's not sure if he'll be okay, but he must. Find. BRIAN. Daphne doesn't offer to park the car and hang out with him until he does or doesn't find Brian, like an actual friend would. She's just CowLip's taxi service. Bye, Daphne.
Justin walks down the street, and starts to freak out a little at how many people are there. He edges away from them through a series of nauseating jump-cuts. Someone taps him on the shoulder and asks if he's all right; Justin screams at the guy not to touch him, and runs down the street.
