Having swallowed his pride on the issue, Dwayne continues with the relationship only to have Caroline walk away without any explanation. These two are forced to relive this part of their past when a friend of Dwayne's ask them to participate in an interview on emotional relationships for her thesis. In the end, they run into each other again when invited back to Chicago for a 10-year reunion of the internship.
