In computer class, the students brainstorm ideas for apps that could solve problems in their community. Minni feels empowered by the possibilities that technology has created for her neighborhood and the ability it has given her to directly respond to challenges. She asks if she could make an app that sends anonymous tips to the police. After class, Shanti seeks out Minni and asks her if she is in danger. Minni is too afraid to tell her the truth but indicates that something is wrong.
Minni is afraid to return to work, but Anita tells her that she can continue her job as long as she does not make another big mistake. As Anita lounges on the couch and talks about new Bollywood movies, Minni finds herself very angry at the luxurious life she leads off of the proceeds of stolen water. At home, she and Faiza continue to plan to report Pinky’s father; they try to call a tipline, but the police dismiss their claims because they are so young. Frustrated, Minni goes back to Pinky’s house and sees a picture of her father that Pinky is unlikely to notice is missing.
