At first Beth isn't sure he's going to do it. He hesitates, wavers for a moment, and she thinks she's going to need to go for the knife in her bag. She's no longer afraid and whether it's due to Chuck's presence beside her or her own sudden return to the present she's not entirely sure.

Having Chuck here with her makes a big difference, though, and she stands by his side, her arm pressed against his, and stares at the man looking back at them. Waiting for his second attempt at an attack.

But then his shoulders deflate and he steps back, still glaring at the two of them. "This is bullshit," he mutters as he walks away, but Beth doesn't bother answering. The energy seems to go out of her all at once and she sags a little, leaning against Chuck.
