After Eliot is jumped at school, teacher Ms. Rae summons Marion Luke, who appears claiming to be Eliot’s father. Marion questions Eliot’s role in the fight and then escalates into a physical confrontation, demanding, “Why don't I hit someone else but you?” Staff call the police. Ms. Rae orders Eliot to go home with Marion, but Eliot refuses: “I'm a Cliff, not a Luke.” Summer will pick him up later. Eliot realizes Marion is a powerful underworld figure who, he suspects, wants him to owe a favor, and he is left resisting being claimed and pulled into his father's demands.
