He talks with her, trying to make sure that she kept her word about what they discussed and she reassures him that he has nothing to worry about. Just then, Sabrina shows up and kisses him on the cheek and rudely asks who Ruby is; and he tells her who she is.

And she tells him that she'll try and kisses him, in which they begin make out, until Avery shows up and begins to talk about a party out of town.

Later in the courtyard, she is walking around and gets a call from a blocked number telling her to meet at Archie's Quarry. When she gets there she meets Alek and tells her that he was at the cemetery the night before. She asks him why, and he responds by telling her that he was going to meet Dennis; because he had information that he wanted. When he got there, he discovered his body and realized he was dead. Just before standing up, he sees someone in a black cloak walking away, but he hears another noise and turn around to see Ruby and the others.
