When Lola comes back to the group, she is annoyed to find them dancing and having fun. Frustrated by their oblivious behavior, she lashes out at Oliver for making the situation seem less serious than it is. She and Blossom have another altercation, and Oliver starts to defend Blossom. Lola then realizes that she should not antagonize the others and apologizes for getting angry. She explains that she is frustrated and afraid because she assumes that they are in a prison and undergoing psychological torture. She also announces that she has found a toilet and that they will have to drink from it as well. Finally, they all try to make the food machine work again, but since it remains still and silent, the teenagers all go to sleep.
