On a busy street, a rough crowd traps Sylvan Johnson, demanding a public apology, forcing him to kneel and taunting and beating him when he refuses. Bystanders urge them to stop, but the assault escalates until Alex appears, calling, "I've looked for you for five years," and intervenes to pull Sylvan free. Sylvan snaps, "You again? Seriously?" The attackers refocus, and one snarls, "You hurt my man," turning the threat onto Alex. The episode ends with both men facing an immediate, unresolved confrontation and no clear escape.
