Mason makes Tori a birthday cake, and Brody gives her a sick bag as a present, telling her she’ll need it on the small plane. Tori tells Brody and Mason about her run in with Justin. Mason thinks it’s weird, even for Justin. Meanwhile, Justin’s handing over the little black book to Spike, but as he walks away, several police cars pull up and after a very short chase, Spike’s arrested by Decker. Justin demands to know why Decker put him and his family in danger by waiting to arrest Spike until they found the book. Decker reassures Justin, the book will lead them to the rest of the syndicate.

Mason checks in with her, worried that they might be breaking some friends with benefits ‘rules’ by going away together but she’s chilled, telling him that they’re going with other people. As they leave the house, the three siblings realise that Justin has tried to call them all – for a moment they wonder whether there’s a problem but decide not to call him back. Elsewhere, Justin is running, trying to get through to any of them.
