- Epigraph: "Is there world enough for me?"—Jane Frances
- Carmen and her dad share a long hug, and Lydia is glad to see her as well; despite her attire (the Pants), Carmen poses for pictures with the wedding party.
- She and Paul dance the waltz (that's old people's slang for a slow dance), and he tells Carmen that he and Skeletor broke up and she made her dad's day by coming to the wedding.
- Carmen's father grabs her for a dance—honesty is his new policy, he says, thanks to her.
- Yet as happy as Carmen feels, the tape holding the broken window together still brings a twang of guilt.
- Carmen writes to Lena, telling her that both she and Tibby have found happiness wearing the Pants. She hopes Lena does as well.
- Tibby goes to work, but winds up sneaking out back to cry.
- And low and behold, who is there too? Tucker Rowe. He tries to comfort Tibby, and pats her disgustingly dirty hair, but when he asks her out for coffee, she's say no thanks.
- What did she ever see in him anyway?
- After Tucker leaves, long finger-nailed Angela arrives. She is worried about Bailey too—they used to meet once a week for ice tea.
- Tibby feels shallow, since all she ever noticed about Angela were her nails.
- It's Lena's last day in Greece and the Pants arrive just in time. Phew.
- She knows the Pants will give her courage, and as she slides them on, she feels all the best traits of her friends seeping through.
- Despite her sweaty palms, she feels sexy and brave—she is going to tell Kostos that she has feelings for him.
- The Pants give her courage, and she apologizes to Kostos and gives him the painting of "his place."
- Finally, she tells him she cares about him—and then she kisses him, and he returns the favor. Ooh la la.
