Along the way, Nell encounters a geriatric bear and an experimental exhibitionist privy to the world of trolls. Upon returning to their hometown of Atlantic City, Nell is courted by a creepy teenager. While temporary solace is found in an aging sugar baby, a bout of loneliness causes Nell to reunite with Trust. Closure comes when they are visited by Tow Man's ghost who offers the gift of eternal good luck.
