After getting home, Lila showers and eats. Then, she goes to Java Jo’s and gives Adeena a cake Lola Flor made. They talk about the drug charges against Lila. Adeena gets upset when Lila says that the murderer is likely the one who framed her. Lila thinks about her cousin Ronnie’s issues with drugs as Adeena defends drug users in general. When Lila asks her why, Adeena says she will explain later. They make plans to have lunch and talk about the case after Adeena gets off work.
Lila eats a stale biscotti that Java Jo’s owner, Kevin, offers her, and it breaks one of her teeth. Kevin offers to cover her dental costs and sends her to a dentist. The receptionist tells Lila this is the third broken tooth from Kevin’s food this year. The dentist, Dr. Jae, is very attractive and likes Tita Rosie. As Lila is leaving the office, Detective Park enters, followed by Adeena. Adeena high-fives Dr. Jae and invites him to come to dinner with her and Lila. The detective says he has plans with the doctor, but Dr. Jae asks Detective Park to reschedule.
