Dana is making what she considers subtle but significant changes to The Reach in order to make it what she wants, not disrupt what the locals expect, and attract a larger tourist trade. Many of the regulars like the changes, but Relic is not one of them, he who is forthright to Dana in his criticisms. Regardless, Dana tries what she considers her best to accommodate Relic, a customer. Even with these changes, Dana decides to make one more only because many of the regulars treat the café like their own private club, staying hours on end just to hang out and drink bottomless cups of coffee. This last move irks many of the locals but is the last straw for Relic. Because she cannot tolerate what she considers his inconsiderate and rude behavior, Dana bans Relic from The Reach forever. Caught in the middle is Nick, who John and Jack appoint as mediator as he is perceived Dana's closest friend in Gibsons. After Nick speaks to both Dana and Relic, they both soften their stance slightly, but if Relic is to return to The Reach, it has to be on each their own terms, which may be a deal breaker for the two combatants.
