Eventually, Curtis has a breakthrough, finding the key the students used to sneak into the courtyard. Realising the key belongs to Jane, Terese is once again ablaze with anger. After Susan gently talks Terese down for the third time, an emotional Terese hugs Susan and thanks her for balancing her out – they’ve found their working rhythm at last.
