Steph trips and falls on top of him. Richard is the first to speak at Ali's funeral. Darlene explodes at the funeral, thinking that everyone will associate knives and violence with Ali. A police officer thanks Steph as the criminal she fell on had been on the police's radar for quite a while.
Steph is intrigued to learn of the press interest. Justin is escorted into the chapel by prison guards. Lee decides to take on a challenge upon learning that his party is on the same day as the SU Bar's quiz night. The Burtons and Taylors argue over Justin's arrival.
