Peter gets caught up in a street race with Jay and Sean. When the police come one afternoon and see Peter racing Jay, Sean and Emma run to Sean's car after they see the police arrive.
Pulling of the road, Sean tells Emma that he is "bad news" and that he is making trouble for her. Emma insists that he is not trouble, and they look into each other's eyes and start to kiss. Emma's cell phone rings which momentarily interrupts the kiss.
