Gerald manages to get on top of Jacko and punch him several times before someone pulls him off. He lunges for Tasha and is about to kill her but realizes that no jury would ever believe that he killed her in self-defense. He decides to let her go and drives away. During the drive, he imagines Snow White in his passenger seat telling him to stop somewhere to check his injuries. He does as she suggests and finds that his injuries are minor. He also gets a text message from his father asking if he left the house. He does not text him back.

Gerald calls Hannah to tell her that they are running away together. When she gets in the car with him, he tells her about everything that transpired at his house but does not tell her about Tasha trying to drown him. She panics and asks if they are doing the right thing by leaving. She confesses that she is still worried that Gerald might physically hurt her one day. This breaks Gerald’s heart as he is not sure if he can control his temper around her either.
