Two years after the pregnancy test, Darby is mother to baby Theo, who she co-parents with Augie. Darby spends her first night apart from Theo to go to Sara's wedding (who is now sober) and Darby's mom Claudia comes to babysit. Darby expresses frustration to Claudia about the different expectations that she and Augie face as parents. Claudia reassures Darby that while she will probably never live up to the high expectations that are placed on her, Theo will appreciate her in the long-run, and cites their now close relationship. At the reception, Darby and Sara have a heartfelt conversation and repair their friendship. Darby is seated by a man named Grant and, encouraged by Sara, Darby spends the entire evening hanging out and talking with him. Darby invites him to her hotel room, where they kiss. Grant goes out to get some drinks from the corner store, but Darby falls asleep while he's gone and he can't get back into her room. Grant leaves his number and a kind note, but it's implied she doesn't call him. She runs into Grant a few weeks later and they hit it off again and go for a long walk with Theo. A little while later, Darby and Grant (who the narrator announces is the person Darby will spend the rest of her life with) are still dating, and Darby celebrates a successful gallery opening, finally content with her life.
