After Noah provides proof that he is Sam’s admirer, Cruz storms out and Sam hugs Noah tightly and suggests they go outside to talk. However, as they step outside, a party-goer named Junior Wilson leaps from the balcony in an attempt to land on a couch below and is injured. An ambulance is called, and when the police arrive with it, the party-goers scatter.
As the police approach the house, Noah sees that they have Cruz, whom they have handcuffed. The police say they caught Cruz placing a flag on a vehicle, but Cruz insists he was merely removing one that had been placed on his truck. Sam accuses the police of targeting Cruz because he is African American. The police leave after instructing Noah to end the party. Noah asks Sam to drive Cruz home, and she gives Noah a friendly kiss.
After Sam leaves, Noah berates himself for letting Cruz “win” again. Suddenly, there is a crash as someone enters the house. It is Walt/Swing’s brother, Mo, returned from Afghanistan. Walt/Swing is ecstatic to see him, although Noah feels Mo is acting strangely. Walt/Swing and Mo leave, accompanied by Divya, and Noah is alone.
