During a jet tanning session with La la KentKatie said she felt a little weird going to her ex’s bar opening, but Lala told her not to worry. Lala tells Katie that now she can enjoy the bar without resenting how she has affected her relationship with Tom. Katie wasn’t so sure — they might not be together anymore — but she revealed that Tom still asks her to do him favors, like babysit her dog, while he does things at the bar. So Katie had mixed feelings about going to the opening. However, she is still gone.

Katie has spent a lot of time with Aryan Madix during the event, but eventually Tom Schwartz invited her to sit down with him for a chat. After they had drinks together, Katie told Tom the bar had “really cool vibes” and told him that he worked “really hard” on everything, so he should be proud of himself. She appreciated his praise of him, but said “no success could ever replace” what he lost because of it. She said he was “sucked into a parallel universe” while working at the bar and that he should be there when she needed him.

“You almost broke you, and it almost broke me, [and] it broke us, sort of,” Katie told him before asking, “Was it worth it? Tom was immediately confused and said he didn’t know how to respond. But Katie reminded him that he “picks a lot” over her, including the bar. “You never chose me,” she said as her eyes began to water.

Katie told Tom that she ignored many warning signs along the way and let things go right when they weren’t. He, also with tears in his eyes, apologized saying “I’m sorry” and admitting that he is “trying to move on” and be more “self-aware”.

In his private confessional, Tom recalled a scene from The Notebook and wondered if he should “fight for” Katie like Noah fought for Allie, but in the end, he felt it would just “prolong” her pain and stop her from to find “happiness”.

Back at the cabin with Katie, Tom said he always wonders if “it was worth it” but still doesn’t know the answer.
