In public, someone calls out Tasha for being with a thug instead of at her mother's hospital. The man is Owen Zeller; bystanders stare as Sam—claiming to be Tasha's boyfriend—demands an explanation. Owen insists Tasha has been with him and says only he can give her what she needs. He produces a gift, forces caps on her, and admits being with Sam was a task Mr. Zeller gave her. Tasha fights to get free. The episode ends with a scuffle and Sam shouting, "I'll kill you!" at Owen, leaving the conflict unresolved.
