Sarah gives each girl a "Goonies" map they made as children that leads to an abandoned cabin. While hiking, Abby argues with Lou and it is revealed that Lou once had sex while drunk with Abby's boyfriend, although Abby has since married another man.Back at their campsite, the three women encounter three hunters. One of the men turns out to be Henry Wallace, whose older brother Jimmy went to elementary school with the girls. The other two men are Henry's Army buddies Derek and Alex.
