Later on in the afternoon, Kevin joins Sarah for some vigorous training at the fire department. The department is impressed with how strong Kevin is, and afterward he joins the crew for a celebratory beer for completing the course.

She politely excuses herself from the table and Kevin is left wondering if he did something wrong.
