Olivia gets settled in her life in Philly. She starts working at a restaurant and sees a new side of the city she didn't experience when she was in college in the city's suburbs. This includes a visit to a strip club in a row house in South Philly where she strikes up a conversation with a young man from the city of brotherly love. 

She's still in touch with #13, but their communication is getting more and more...what's the word? Abusive? Despite the fact that he's all the way in Chile, she's having a hard time wresting her psyche from his controlling grasp.

The This American Life story about a young girl in an abusive relationship is from Episode 567: What's Going on in There?
