Ben looks as if he is about to several times but doesn’t, although he verbally mentions it. At one point after drinking vodka and orange juice he leans over the sink and appears to retch but there is no vomit

Ben dies, but it’s implied that Sera talks to a therapist about it and is inspired by the event to change her life for the better.
