The next day, it is raining again. Jacob lies to his dad about where he is going and says there are people living on the other side of the island. When he enters the loop, Emma greets him and says everyone is waiting for him at the house. At the house, a stage is erected in the backyard, and the children are dressed in nice clothing. The children showcase their abilities on stage. After the show, Jacob wants to go see Miss Peregrine to talk some more about his grandfather, but she is teaching.

Emma challenges some of the other children to a swimming race, so they go to the ocean to swim. One of the children, Horace, is peculiar because he has prophetic dreams. Jacob is unable to talk about this with him, though. He is worried about the townspeople recognizing him, but the children reassure him that the town has been reset and no one will remember him.

Millard talks about a book he is compiling about a day in the life of a town from each person’s perspective. Once they begin swimming, the children ask Jacob about the real world.
