Plot
Initially, Jake has trouble fitting in. While walking, he sees Max Cooperman seemingly being beaten up by bullies. When he tries to intervene, Max and his friends tell him off, as the "bullying" was actually a consensual mixed martial arts fight.
Plot
Baja apologizes to Jake for coercing him into a fight with Ryan, but he refuses to forgive her. When Ryan shows no remorse for the fight or his sadistic tendencies, Baja breaks up with him, to which he responds by aggressively grabbing her. Jake intervenes to protect her, so Ryan again insults him about his father and leaves.
