- Aimee tries a sip of beer, but isn't really getting into the party spirit.
- Sutter's friends (and ex-girlfriends) keep coming over to talk with him, which makes Aimee even quieter.
- Finally, Cody shows up. Jackpot!
- Sutter drags him over and tries to get a conversation going, but they don't seem to have much to say…
- Until Sutter brings up the research he did on Commander Amanda Gallico.
- That gets Aimee talking – to Sutter.
- Sutter apologizes to Cody for leaving him out, but it turns out he loves sci-fi, too. He jumps right in, asking her about another series he's read.
- Now Sutter's the one feeling left out, until he sees Cassidy approaching.
