While making a pit stop at her aunt Tess’s home, she learns that Tommy has reported Kip kidnapped. Hearing the news, she calls Tommy. Tommy reminds Murel that even though he is not Kip’s biological father, he did adopted him; and he will only call off the cops if she comes home. Once Kip learns that they are going back to Tommy, he grabs the steering wheel and tries to turn around. That’s when Murel learns the horrific truth about Tommy from Kip.
