( Someone who holds out a hand and turns back time. )

Kyle and Marius take after Slab and Hairbag and the remaining hostage, only they have company...

( Is there a hero somewhere, someone who will never walk away )

Hairbag and Slab take after the mystery motorcyclist, with Kyle and Marius in pursuit. A fight ensues, and identities are revealed.

( Who doesn't turn a blind eye to a crime )

Decisions are made, in spite of protestations.

After his drink with Jennifer, Garrison visits Adrienne to try and tell her what he's figured out regarding his feelings, but he is nervous and she is spectacularly obtuse, as usual.

( I swear I'm going to throw myself out the window. I'm trying to tell you that I realized that I don't want to be with her or someone other than you. )
