Riley is walking through the tube station and sees a piano-playing busker that reminds her of her father. She puts all the money from the drug deal in his case and throws out the drugs in a nearby rubbish bin. She goes to stay with Shugs, an old friends of her, and his girlfriend Bambie. Her cover-story is that Jacks kicked her out.

Lito is uncomfortable with Daniela presuming that she can move in as his resident beard. Daniela admits that the other reason she didn't want to go home the previous night is that she has an abusive gangster ex-boyfriend that wanted to get back at her for sleeping with his best friend.

Her opponent in the ring is sexist and underestimates her skill.
