Oblivious to Tom's return, Belle and Vinny walk their dogs in the woods. Belle mentions that her phone isn't working properly and Vinny kindly offers to fix it.
The pair go their separate ways as Belle walks home and Vinny heads to the scrapyard, where he focuses on fixing the broken phone.
Tom also arrives at the scrapyard to investigate but panics when Vinny comes into the portable cabin unexpectedly.
