In the van service, the Bennet boys couldn't help but set their eyes on Penny's seat. None of them spoke a word and simply cast each other a quiet look before looking at her again. For some reason, they could feel that Penny's on fire.

"A project?"

"Project Survival! That's the theme."

"Oh. No wonder."
