One day after school, Rick and company kidnap Troy and ask him for anything that would embarrass Angus at the Winter Ball. Troy refuses to help them and tries to escape, only to break his arm as he trips to the floor while Rick gives him an ultimatum. At home, Meg tells Ivan that Angus' transfer to a magnet school would be for the best. Ivan accuses Meg of over-mothering Angus and warns her that letting him run away from his bullies is a mistake.
