Josh and Cassie have a passionate goodbye on her porch.
Back at the hotel, Reva happily informs Billy of her new death wish to go out Thelma and Louis style. Billy tells her that she's been there-done that. Instead he presents a ring and suggests she leap into a marriage with him. He campaigns for himself, promising to fill her last days with laughter, raunchy barbeque and health insurance. Most importantly, he vows to hold her hand when the time comes. Billy shuns all of Reva's warnings about how bad the illness will get. Bravely, Billy gives her the ring, asking her to keep it in case she's ever ready to wear it. At that time, they'll go make sure it fits. Reva sheds tears, humbled by Billy's selflessness.
