The Ferrari swerves and makes a sharp right turn, while the black car drives in close range chasing. The windows are tinted, just then, someone from the black car starts shooting at Lucas and Claire. 'Lucas!' shouts Claire as she holds on while the car is driving fast and shots are being fired. Lucas reaches below his seat then takes out his own gun, a 9mm pistol, and shoots back. While Claire is in a state of panic, holding on for dear life, when she looks at Lucas, he seems to be calmer than one would expect someone to be in a daring situation like this. This made Claire somewhat relieved, but the shots were still being fired in their direction, as they came to a highway road with more vehicles.
As the Ferrari entered the highway, the black car was right behind, so Lucas made a sharp 180 turn, passing the black car. The black car stops and tries to turn around to catch up, but the Ferrari is now long gone. Lucas drives through a few blocks before stopping at a building site. 'What the hell was that?' asks Claire. Lucas gets out of the car and makes a call to D, with Claire still in the car trying to catch her breath. She looks back, then to her side and then to Lucas, realizing he is not answering her and she gets out of the car. 'Hey!' she shouts. Lucas then hangs up, 'It's okay cuz, I'll handle it. You're safe now' he says. 'Safe? We just got shot at! And just why aren't we calling the police? Give me that' says a frantic Claire as she tries to grab Lucas' phone to call.
'Hey, calm down, Claire! It'll be okay, I promise. There's no need to call the cops' says Lucas. Claire takes a few deep breaths, 'Okay, so who was after us?' she asks. 'Let's get in and get outta here, I'll tell you' says Lucas. They both get back in the car and Lucas drives to the detective's house. 'So, they are basically rival drug dealers that were after us?' asks Claire. 'Yep, but D will handle them. So don't worry' says Lucas. Meanwhile, in prison, D is standing at his bed in his cell with his phone in his hand. George sits on his bed, 'Are they okay?' he asks, after having heard the conversation between Lucas and D over the phone. 'They're fine' answers D. 'Can I talk to Claire?' asks George. D smiles and goes to sit next to George. 'You really like this girl, don't you?' he says. George looks down at the floor, 'Yeah, I guess' he says.
'Bruh, ain't no guessing when it comes to love. You either do or you don't' says D. 'What if she doesn't feel the same?' asks George. 'We never know for sure, but it's a killer not to at least try' says D. George nods and looks at D thinking what a nice guy this is. George has always thought of gang bosses especially ones in prison as evil, but here is this guy who has shown nothing but kindness. That night, George lies on his bed. He has a lot on his mind, he thinks about what his sister told him, what happened to Lucas and Claire and what Helena said. As he lies and is thinking, he can hear thunder in his mind, along with screams. 'Georgie! Hold on!' says a female in his thoughts sitting in the front seat of a spinning out of control car. Wheels screeching and a crash, 'Daddy!' says a little George sitting in the car, all happening in George's mind.
He sits up on the bed, breathing heavy. He looks around, realizing he was dreaming about the accident again and put his head back down. He sees a familiar hallway, a kitchen table, then a closet with glasses on it and a lab coat hanging. He takes the lab coat and puts it on, then puts on his glasses and his face can be seen in the mirror. A cold gaze, dark eyes and sinister face. 'Danny! Is that you?' shouts a woman's voice from a distance. He moves towards the room door, just then, George wakes up. As he looks around, he sees D washing his face. D looks at George then forward again and puts a bandanna on his head. George feels uneasy about what he just saw. In the cafeteria area, as they are eating, a guard approaches George and tells him he has a visitor. George gets up and as he approaches the visiting area, he sees Lucas.
As the 2 sit down in front of a glass that separates them, they take the phone hanging at the side and start to talk. 'How you doing, man?' asks Lucas. 'I'm fine' says George. 'You hang in there, we'll get you outta here' says Lucas. George nods and just looks at his friend. 'I have a surprise for you' says Lucas, George's face changes. 'Relax, I know you don't like surprises, but I promise you'll love this one' says Lucas as he turns his head to look over his right shoulder. That is when Claire emerges and walks toward them, her eyes meeting George's and his meeting hers. Both staring at each other in disbelief and as Claire gets closer, George stands up slowly. Lucas stands up from his seat and leaves it for Claire, who gets to the glass and puts her hand on it. George follows suit, putting his hand where hers are. 'Hey' says Claire, with an in-love teenager's look in her eyes. 'Hey' says George. Both then look at the phone hanging and realize they can't hear each other.
