Outside the neighborhood bodega, a car stops and some men from the Guerillas corner Jasmine. Ronnie and some of her friends come out of the bodega and notice the men. Ronnie asks the men to leave Jasmine alone, but they tell her to stay out of it. Ronnie makes a bird call to signal a bunch of other men who work for her father, who immediately arrive and drive the Guerilla men away.
Ronnie takes Jasmine back to her family’s apartment while they wait for Quadir and Jarrell to come pick her up. Jasmine doesn’t know these girls well and hasn’t hung out with them before, and she feels awkward around Quadir’s ex-girlfriend. However, she’s also grateful Ronnie saved her. They discuss women in hip-hop and Jasmine says she doesn’t like women artists who are overly sexualized or concerned mainly with their own physical appearance. The other girls argue that there is feminist power in using the patriarchy’s own tools against the patriarchy, and that Jasmine could be less judgmental. Jasmine appreciates their viewpoint and hasn’t thought of it this way before.
