When Kit arrives, he scolds Tory for removing it, as it's incredibly dangerous, but he lets it slide, places a LIRI prototype on its shell, to monitor the turtle's movements, and heads back home, leaving Tory to get to know the boys. While Ben is gone, Tory removes the hook from the turtle's right forelimb. Ben runs down the beach to go fetch Kit since Tory forgot her phone and nobody has his number. All of the boys are extremely confused when Tory mentions that she is Kit's daughter since they have never seen nor heard of her before. She finds that it's got a silver hook in its flipper, which is why it hasn't moved. Seeing as it's a loggerhead sea turtle, she yells at them to stop and comes in to aid them. She watches for a moment, then realizes what they're poking at.

A heavy-set kid, wearing a red and blue Hawaiian shirt and clashing orange shorts, a short, skinny black kid with thick glasses, and a boy with shoulder-length black hair, a deep, dark tan, and no shirt. As she's jogging, she begins to hear a couple voices, and see's three boys huddled beside a tide pool. She weaves past Whitney's offer to have Kit follow her, and heads out on her own. Once inside, she goes up to her new bedroom to get settled in, and charge her phone, then heads out to go on a jog around the island. Her mood is instantly soured by the woman, though she is relieved to find that Whitney does not live with them on the island.

As she admires it, she meets Whitney DuBois, Kit's ditzy girlfriend. Tory questions Kit's living situation at first, but once glance at the ocean makes her reconsider.

After briefly making a fool of himself, Kit gets Tory's two bags into the vehicle and takes her all the way to Morris Island, in the Lowcountry. Eventually, he arrives and is very, very nervous. She is waiting on Christopher 'Kit' Howard, her father, whom she has never met, to pick her up. She has come all the way from Westborough Massachusetts, meaning that she is roughly 940 miles away from her previous home. Fourteen-year-old Victoria Brennan has found herself in an airport, in semitropical South Carolina, in mid-November, briefly after her mother passed away in a car accident.
