Given the sudden slowdown in development, he *might* be at the point where the animation was planned, as he mentioned that the scene was technically difficult. So it could still be difficult even for "normal" rendering.
If we assume that the animation was related to the topical moment of the event, there are two possibilities: either they are still in the nightclub, or they have moved elsewhere.
If they are still in the
nightclub, the "difficulties" could indeed be related to the many characters in the scene, the lights and so on. This also presupposes that something is happening in "public", either on the dance floor (some groping?) or in a more covered place (back on the 2nd floor or something like that). If it was the bathroom, for example, then the difficulties might be related to other things, posing or moving the characters in a confined space.
If they have left the nightclub, we can only assume that they are back at home and that the event will take place in the hot tub or pool, as it has
been hinted at. We don't know how many more teasers he's going to drop before the end, but unless the next one is called "Having too much fun"
that might shed some light on the matter. Let's assume for the moment that it's a
hot tub.
If we look at some of the clues in part 1, we could have some skinny dipping in this one: Dylan said a couple of times that there should be no problem with bathing naked,

and he even acted on it by taking off his swimsuit.

***IF*** that is a hint for part 2, what/how could happen?
I see two possibilities here, one more "conservative" and one a bit bolder. In the
conservative one, once home after all the fun dancing and whatnot (and possibly with a bit of alcohol), they can decide for a round 2 of a relaxing moment in the hot-tub and they go changing into their swimming suite and meet at the hot-tub. From there to get Sophia at least partially naked it would require (again) Dylan working his way up to convince Sophia to remove something as it happened in part 1. It would be easier for Sophia to give up this time because of the usual "well, what the heck, he already see them" (and, possibly with the help of the alcohol).
A "
bolder" approach would be to skip the changing part. Dylan could suggest that they just go skinny dipping (as in completely naked) and then convince Sophia to go in her underwear (the classic

). Sophia is only wearing panties (as far as we know), so she will take off her dress and go into the hot tub bare-breasted, again with the "after all, he has already seen them" and they could be partially covered by the water.
From there, things could escalate in either case, and they could both end up naked in the hot tub. The big problem with the naked part is that Sophia would be reluctant to get even partially naked outdoors because of the neighbours (and a certain peeping Tom
) or someone from the house coming out into the garden etc. So it will take some plausible excuse and reassurance to convince her.
As for the animation issue, a ***guess*** could be the water effect, which is not that trivial to produce, especially if there are bigger or deeper movements than the animation in part 1. But I'm no expert, so I'll leave it to those who know better.
So let's jump to the end (I know, I know, I'm kind of yada-yada-ing the good part
): how does it end? Will there be a "release" for one of them and then they both go back inside, or will we get the usual and inevitable
interruption for the n-th time? If so, who will have the privilege this time?
- Liam sleeps like a log in the bedroom and has to get up early in the morning. He could randomly wake up, see Sophia missing and go looking for her or call her on the phone. Obviously the phone will provide another perfect opportunity for another "taking advantage" moment with Dylan exploiting of the situation while Sophia is on the phone (similar to what happened in part 1 or with the apostles during the phone call with the boss).
- Ellie is another candidate, although we don't know her whereabouts for the evening: we don't know if she's still at Christine's in this alternate storyline, or if she's still in her room from part 1. Either way, she could be the one to interrupt, whether on her way home or just wandering around the house. At this point it remains to be seen whether there will be some sort of rehash of the Sam's hot tub incident, with one of the two lovebirds trying to hide from her while the other tries to buy some time and distract her, or whether they will have to hastily compose themselves and get dressed.
- And what about... Sam? He could, for example, come home in his car, hear some noises in the neighbour's garden and try to call either Dylan or Sophia. Having him watch the whole scene from his tree house would add too much drama and complexity to the story. The scenario can be similar to Ellie's, either one of them talks to him while the other takes cover, or they both manage to compose themselves before it's too late. Of course, having Sophia talk to Sam while Dylan takes cover and listens could be problematic if Sam is having a sweet talk with Sophia.
This is just pure speculation, let's see if we get a clearer idea of the event as more teasers are released.
