She even leaves behind the hustle and bustle of her life to live in a monastery but returns to her old life when a documentary crew visits and inspires her to right a book about the experience there and finding enlightenment. Michael speaks to her at a party in the character of an unethical businessman that compares himself to Tahani. She is horrified at the thought that she is this unethical, so she decides to accept Chidi's offer to join the study.

Jason has decided to leave behind a life of petty crime and focus his attention on dance competitions. However, he opts to return to criminal activity when he is unable to succeed in his goals.
