Furious at Ken's apparent willingness to forgive himself for his role in the attack on Trish, Hardin gets drunk and attacks Ken. On Christmas Day, Hardin, Tessa, and Trish attend a holiday party at Hardin's dad, Ken. Feeling betrayed, Tessa returns to Hardin's apartment and resumes a relationship with him. The two accidentally reveal that Tessa's long-lost father had visited the home in an attempt to see her. On the following day, her birthday, Tessa visits her mother Carol's house and encounters her ex-boyfriend Noah. Tessa plays along and finds that she enjoys spending time with Hardin and Trish, who reveals to Tessa the source of Hardin's personality issues: he is traumatized after watching Trish get violently raped by men to whom his father Ken owed money. When Tessa returns to the apartment she shared with Hardin to retrieve some belongings, Hardin steps into the apartment with his mother Trish, who assumes the two are still dating.

Tessa and Hardin each come to regret their decision to end their relationship. The next morning, Hardin and Tessa fight again before Tessa and Trevor leave with Vance, who informs his interns that he has secured financing from the businessman. Hardin kicks Trevor out of the room, and Tessa fights with Hardin before the two have sex. He arrives at her hotel room to find a half-dressed Trevor (whose clothes were drying after Tessa accidentally spilt wine on them). Tessa drunk-dials Hardin, compelling him to track her down. At a nightclub, Tessa and Trevor network with and impress a businessman considering an investment in Vance. Impressed with her work, Vance's owner Christian Vance takes Tessa, Trevor, and his secretary and girlfriend Kimberly to a Seattle-area work event. On her first day as an intern at Vance Publishing, Tessa shares an awkward encounter with coworker Trevor Matthews. One month after his breakup with Tessa Young, Hardin Scott meets an unknown homeless man, whom he rebuffs after the man tries to ask him a question.
