The following morning, Day clears the pool of the props used for the photoshoot and relaxes on an inflatable raft, Lucky is tied to a leash nearby. He is advised by his boss that the pool is being drained, so he will need to get out soon. Day ends up falling asleep, and by the time he wakes up, the water level is too low for him to get out. He attempts to climb out, only to severely injure the nail of his right index finger. He screams for help, but no one is around to hear him. The next day, while Day is asleep on the raft, Koi shows up to surprise him. Not noticing the lowered water level, she prepares to jump off the diving board. Day awakens and shouts for her not to jump, startling her and causing her to slip and fall into the pool, hitting her head on the diving board on the way down.
