June takes Toby on a surprise trip to the Bronx Zoo. They ride the monorail through the zoo, which is organized into areas made to look like various continents. At one point, Toby opens the large coat he is wearing and invites June to draw close to him. She realizes that the coat still smells of Finn. Toby cries, and June comforts him.

On the car ride back to June’s home, she tells Toby that she knows about his incarceration. Toby tells her the reason for it: Four men attacked him on a subway platform. In the scuffle, Toby threw one of the men onto the tracks, where the man lost his legs. Toby then speaks of falling in love with Finn when Finn conducted an art workshop at the prison. He also says that he understands the nature of the love that June has for her uncle.

The opening day of South Pacific—a Saturday—arrives. At breakfast, June and Greta are alone together for the first time since Greta destroyed the items from June’s closet. Greta complains of the expectations placed on her to excel, not truly wanting to take part in the Annie production on Broadway that summer and wishing she could get back her lost year of childhood.
