Dana is shoved out of a car during a confrontation as onlookers, including Cindy and others, taunt her and declare she belongs on the street. The panicked driver, Mr. Shaw, wants to flee, but the group pressures him to abandon her in the distant villa district and mocks her dignity. The situation escalates when someone at the scene threatens Mr. Shaw, demanding the car be returned or his two sons' tuition will be ruined. Forced to choose, Mr. Shaw turns the car around, apologizes to Ms. Sawyer and urges her to get in, leaving her decision unresolved.
