Boyd turns up at the garage looking for Willow, who has failed to turn up for a job, but Justin has no idea where she is. Boyd makes another threat about the money, ensuring that Justin hears him loud and clear. Down at the police station, Willow begs Murray with fierce urgency not to impound her bike. Brody arrives for his drug test and Murray brings him through first, telling Willow to wait her turn. When Brody arrives home, he complains that he is late for work because some chick at the station was kicking up a fuss. Justin arrives at the station and tells Willow about Boyd’s earlier visit. Willow doesn’t want Justin’s help, and tells him that she can sort things out herself. Murray tells Willow that while she has unpaid speeding fines and a broken indicator, she isn’t getting her bike back. Stuck in a tight spot, Willow says she will pay off the fines and that Justin, who is a mechanic, can fix the taillight.
