Sophie was firmly pushed into the airplane seat by Jenna, who then stood guard. With a smirk, Sophie said, "Jenna, I'm already on the plane. Do you really think I'd try to escape?" "You're my sister. How could I ever think you'd run? I'm just worried about screwing up the task Grandpa gaveand getting punished to stand at attention when we get back!" "Jenna, since we're sisters, shouldn't you at least tellwhere we're headed?" "It's not far, somewhere you've been before." "I've been there?" Sophie pondered, then guessed, "Somewhere overseas?" Jenna shook her head like a bobblehead doll.

Considering the teaser locations, Sophie couldn't imagine Lennon setting their wedding on sdesolate island. Realizing Sophie had guessed correctly, Jenna covered her mouth, mumbling, "I didn't say anything! You figured it out on your own, so don't blme if the surprise is spoiled!"

Sophie regretted not negotiating more from Odie when she had the chance.
Now, Odie had seized the opportunity to fleece them.
Meanwhile, in Summerfield- "Please, Mr. Odie, have mercy!" Faced with the factory leader's pleas, Qdie's face was full of impatience. With a casual wave of his hand, his men dragged the man away.
