Earlier that evening, Buzz went over a cliff in a chicken run. His friends Crunch, Goon, and Moose want revenge for their fallen leader. At the same time, Judy left her house to get away from family tension, and ran into the gang as well. Now she’s on her way home again, where it will be safer, but Jim suddenly appears in the darkness, a welcome sight. Judy has been hostile and unwilling to trust anyone for a long time, but she is warming to Jim, and realizes that she can be close to someone.
