Cody thinks this is an expensive wine and asks if she’s sure the Qs won’t mind. Sasha says they won’t, and besides, this wine won’t be any good come tomorrow.

She says she and Brando got married in a garage, and they just wanted to get to the happily ever after part. She notes that obviously didn’t happen.

Sasha says getting married makes the long term appear to be the natural thing to focus on, but sometimes you are disappointed.

He turns it on and asks Sasha to dance, and she accepts.
As they dance Sasha thinks she really should be going to help clean up the afterparty. Cody doesn’t exactly push her away, and she doesn’t split either. They continue to gaze into one another’s eyes.
