Outside of Precinct 23
A distraught and distracted Jo stumbles out of the police station with runny make-up and dishelved hair. Her world is turned upside down and it seems like nothing she can do is going to make it right again. Without warning three large men surround her cutting of every possible route of escape. They chuckle evilly as she notices them and let out a scream of fear. The biggest of the three men reach out towards her but withdraws his hand as she kicks him square in the balls. The other two men hesitate as their leader falls in a crumpled heap while holding his groin; Jo takes advantage of the distraction to run to her car and lock the doors once she is inside. She throws it into drive and peals out of the parking lot and into the dark night.
As Jo makes her way back to the Palm Woods her mind returns to the problem at hand. Despite her best efforts she is no closer to finding Kendall than she was when she left the safety of the Palm Woods. She checks her mirror as she pulls into the Palm Woods and starts to get worried as she notices that the same car has been following her for quite a while. She jumps out of her car and darts inside past a startled Jonny and his two friends from New York. She dashes inside and calls 911 and waits for the police to arrive to deal with this unexpected threat. Jonny is confused as two guys hop out of the car and look around while getting more and more frustrated. Jonny decides to step in because he doesn't like the look of the burly men.
"Can I help you in some way?" Jonny asks in his best asshole voice while his two friends flee back inside the Palm Woods. The two ruffians look at him and mock him for being a pretty boy. "I might be a pretty boy but at least I'm not looking for young girls." The two dark figures stop in their tracks as if they cannot believe what they just heard. "What did I strike a nerve with you two?" Jonny asks sounding a lot more sure of himself than he felt. The two men advance threateningly on him but he does not back down. Out of nowhere a fist comes flying in and knocks Jonny to the ground. His partner joins in on the fun by kicking Jonny in the ribs as a police car comes screeching into the parking lot with sirens blazing. The two guys try to make a run for it but are quickly stopped by the police officers. Jonny slowly gets up off the ground and watches them being stuffed into the back of the squad car. He then tells the officers that he wants to press charges against the two men. He smiles as they drive away happy he got revenge on those two creeps.
He turns to find a stunned crowd looking at him and looking at the police cars leaving because they are becoming a common occurrence around the Palm Woods. His two friends come back out of the apartment building and approach him gingerly not wanting to cause any more injuries to the boy. He smiles at them as he holds his ribs and says to them, "I think that it is time we went back to New York. Screw this town and everyone in it, I'm getting homesick." The three of them make their way into the Palm Woods for the last time ever while they make arrangements to go home.
-End Flashback-
Camille is making her way to the lobby with Taryn when she sees a couple of bags on the floor and a limo out front. They look at each other with surprised looks on their faces because nobody they have talked to has mentioned anything about leaving. Taryn and Camille do not have to wait long to find out whose dreams are shattered this time. Both girls are surprised to see the East Coast contingent crossing the lobby to get in the limo. Before Jonny gets in the car he sees Camille standing there watching him. He stops and comes back to her. Before she can say a word he kisses her on the cheek and says "I'm sorry for everything," he turns around and walks away. Camille is surprised because of everything that has transpired between the two of them. All she can do is watch him walk away and get into the car and leave California forever. Her trance is cut short when she realizes everybody is staring at her and talking about what happened. Her and Taryn look at each other and go back up to Camille's apartment to discuss what just went down.
Palm Woods Park
Suzanne is practicing along with her partner Landon for their new dance scene. She can't get her steps in line with Landon's and is surprised when Landon shuts the music off. She tries to apologize to him but he cuts across her asking, "What is wrong with you Suzanne? You haven't been this out of sync in quite a while. What's on your mind?"
Suzanne just looks at Landon with a look of disgust on her face. "It's none of your damn problem Landon. Maybe I just don't like the way you are constantly trying to get in my pants. Did you ever think of that? I just want to learn this dance and get it over with" she says turning the music back on. Her thoughts are still on the tallest member of Big Time Rush and she can't concentrate, leaving Landon fuming and with sore feet. He stomps away in anger leaving Suzanne alone to think about her missing man.
