Daisy decides she can stay in the contest because she has no chance of winning with her bad candy. Logan and Miles talk about the pain they’ve experienced in life, and Miles concludes that it had purpose in his life.

He has never seen himself as different because of his scars, but he realizes that other people focus on them.
