Transcript

(Sarah walks into the kitchen and pours herself a cup of coffee. Banging is heard in the background.)

Sarah: Salvation. (Walks into the living room.) Guess who still snores. (Walks out onto the deck.) Okay... Morning.

(The camera pans to show Gina hammering pieces of wood together.)

Sarah: So, tell me: is that a red oak or a nice soft maple?

Gina: Pine.

Sarah: Of course! Excellent, excellent choice. What the hell is that girl building?

(Cut to Gina still hammering. Daniel leans over in front of the camera.)

Daniel: Good morning, everyone. Hope you all slept well. Sarah snores. Like a chainsaw. (Turns to Gina.) Looks great! (Whispers to the camera.) We should take bets on what she's making.

(A montage is shown of Gina hammering and assembling her project in fast-motion. Cut to Emma and Jennie appearing in front of the camera.)

Jennie: I am about to crush Emma in an epic contest of wit and will. (Nods.) (Emma pulls a Boggle box and opens it as Jennie looks over at Gina.) She's still going.

Emma: Alright.

Jennie: What do you got there?

Emma: (Showing the Boggle board to the camera.) You guys want to help me?

Jennie: Clock's ticking...

(Emma and Jennie leave. Cut back to a montage of Gina. She finally finishes her project - a bench - and Sarah appears.)

Sarah: I can't say enough about the craftsmanship. Maybe I underestimated Gina. (Gina cleans up deck and takes her tools inside.) So strange. And I thought her sister was mental.

(Gina comes back outside with her book, moves the bench to the side of the deck, and sits on it to read her book.)

Sarah: Well-played, Gina. Well-played.

Notes

• The irony of Sarah's suggestion of 'a nice soft maple' is that maple is generally not soft.[1]
• Red Oak is also the name of a small town in Iowa.
• This video shows that Gina is good at wood-working as she made the bench by hand. She used a hammer, nails, and some pine planking to build the bench, then stained it black using a rag.
• The montage of Gina assembling the bench is very similar in style to early videos of Bree's.
• This is the second episode that Jonas does not appear in, even though most of the other main characters do.
• It would appear that Daniel and Sarah spent the night together, since both complained about the others snoring.
• The Boggle game appears to have been staged because the cubes are all right side up, except for the Ws, which are up-side-down. The layout is:

L	T	G	S
A	L	R	M
S	A	C	E
I	I	M	A

• It was eventually discovered by Greg Gallows that the Boggle board was an anagram for "Craigslist Emma LA". Under the LA missed connections section of Craigslist, a posting by Emma was found, intended for her parents:
