After what happened between the two, Nat begins to experience nausea and other obvious pregnancy symptoms, so her friend Cara (Aisha Dee) tells her that she should take a pregnancy test to rule out or confirm the suspicion.

However, in another scene the reality is different and the test is positive without Natalie knowing what to do and in that moment she finds herself lost in her own life.
