Jordan is angry when he learns that Angel’s bed is broken. He tries to fix it but fails. Jordan is not as irritable as he used to be since he has a new job. Angel is sick with chicken pox and has to stay home from school. Jordan skips work and offers to watch her.
While still recovering, Angel wakes up to find Jordan sitting on her bed. She begs him not to touch her, but he claims he only wants to inspect how she’s healing. He touches her and says if she tells anyone, he will kill her cat.
Gerald comes home from school and can tell something is wrong with Angel. That night, Gerald notices that Angel isn’t sleeping well. At dawn, he asks her if Jordan touched her. She tells him the truth and reveals that he threatened to kill her cat. Gerald assures Angel that he’s going to handle it and heads out of the apartment before Monique wakes up.
Gerald takes the city bus to school and sits on the curb, debating whether he should go to the police. His friend, Robbie, and his father, Mr. Washington, arrive and see Gerald sitting outside of the school.
