The whiskey continues to flow and Alice and Jack eventually dance their way into one another's arms… only to be caught in the ensuing act by Bob. Initial shock is transformed into excitement, with Bob involving Leah in some celebrating of his own. For the participants, it's a night of playful passion to rejuvenate their souls.
