Jessica confronts her father after being beaten by Jaye, accusing him of involvement with shady men who drugged her the previous night. Her father denies the claim, insisting Jessica is fabricating the story, but she reveals a recording of a conversation implicating him and Aunt Queenie. He responds by forbidding Jessica from leaving the house and demanding she keep the incident secret from the Robinson family. Joyce advises Jessica to move out for independence, despite the father's insistence that he has raised her and fulfilled his duties. Meanwhile, Mr. Robinson returns and plans to see the Madam, while searching for the girl involved in the recent trouble.
