- It's the next day and the narrator is waking up, thinking about her feelings for Joe (as well as the past). She rolls over and goes back to sleep.
- When she wakes back up, Joe is awake. They talk about the fact that he talked in his sleep the night before.
- When the narrator goes out to start the fire, she finds Anna there doing her makeup. The narrator assures her that she doesn't "need" makeup there. Anna claims David doesn't like to see her without it.
- The narrator then goes outside to collect some food from their various storage units and then goes in to make breakfast.
- After breakfast, they discuss the game plan for the day. It includes looking for the narrator's father.
- As they're washing the breakfast dishes, Anna and the narrator discuss marriage and divorce. Through their conversation, it's clear the narrator never told Anna (her supposed best friend?) about her baby.
- The four then set out together on the trail, which has all kinds of obstacles (dense foliage, mosquitos, etc.). After walking for a bit, the narrator tells the others she doesn't think anyone else (like her father) has passed through here.
- They head back, and the narrator realizes that it's going to be hard to find her father on the island.
