Cindy is accosted outside when a man forces a kiss; she slaps him, but William and Mr. Quinn's men drag her toward an alley intending sexual assault. She resists, pleading that her first night is meant for the man she loves and fearing ruin if she's raped. Theo arrives but refuses to call the police—he accuses her of not helping him at the hospital—while one attacker taunts that she'll have to call him 'Dad' to get aid. With men closing in, Cindy threatens to scream and shouts, 'I'll put on a live show!' leaving her fate unresolved.
