The rock climbing, however, is a success. With Cynthia's help, Jenn is able to conquer her fears and scale higher than she ever has before. The two of them share a moment of triumph at the summit, but then, it's back to reality.

Jenn is left to pick up the pieces of her messy love life once again. She has to decide if she should pursue Cynthia or try to forget about her and move on.
