While Jon and Janey travel to New Jersey - Jon to visit university friends and Janey to visit her mother - they pass by an amusement park. A photographer, mistaking the two for lovers, takes a picture of them. Janey's watch then breaks and Jon, being the son of a watchmaker, promises to repair it. At his hotel room, they make love for the first time. After breaking up, Slater started smoking 3 packages a day and caught recurring bronchitis, however her insurance wouldn't cover it as a pre-existing condition.
