He asks if she believes in life after love. After describing love as “hell,” she says life is never the same after being there. Cormac bumps into Beaker as he turns to go back to his cabin. Beaker invites him to play five-a-side B-ball on Wednesday. When Cormac accepts the offer, Beaker says to make sure you do.

Jamie tells her that he didn’t think the officers were Pippa’s type. She warns him that the officers control everything. He admits to feeling like it’s his fault because Pippa got cold feet.
