Chase stands in disbelief as he processes what Brook Lynn has just revealed. He asks her to clarify what she means about being pregnant and having a baby before, thinking she’s referring to Bailey Lou and her fake pregnancy. Brook Lynn tells him about her teenage pregnancy in high school and how she gave the baby up for adoption. She never told the father or her own father, and the only person who knows, besides Chase, is her mother, Lois. Chase is shocked by the revelation but listens intently. Brook Lynn explains how terrified she was when she found out she was pregnant, not knowing what to do. She apologizes for not telling him sooner, and he consoles her, acknowledging how difficult it must have been. She recalls how her mother helped her back then. When Chase asks about her decision not to keep the baby, she explains that keeping it a secret from her family was the hardest part. She reveals that it was a closed adoption, and she never even saw her baby or knew the gender. Chase, rather than being angry, expresses sympathy and understanding. They agree to move forward with honesty between them.

Joss agrees, and they quickly leave, with Brennan instructing her not to tell anyone she was in the cabin.
