- Jesse wakes up to his mom shaking him. Sidney's on the phone. It's just 5:30 in the afternoon.
- Sidney apologizes for the incident with the white cops and offers to take Jesse to a baseball game.
- Sidney also asks how Rise's book is going. Wait, how does Sidney know about that? Some guy uptown told him.
- Jesse knows that Sidney is trying to send him a message: Rise is hanging out with bad people, and the police are aware of it.
- Jesse's mom wants to know if he's going to go to the baseball game with Sidney; Jesse says no.
- After dinner, Jesse's parents argue about the chores, and Jesse's mom cries.
- Jesse thinks their fight wasn't really about the chores, though, and he wonders what the real reason is.
- Guess what? Jesse's drawing again. Seems like art is something he turns to when he has questions about life.
- He draws Rise for the billionth time. The picture is so good he thinks about taking it over to Rise's to show him, but he doesn't.
- The next morning, Jesse starts over. He draws Rise with a really big head. When he finishes, he sticks it in a frame.
- Here's Jesse's mom. She doesn't recognize Rise in the picture—instead she thinks it's a villain of some sort.
- Jesse decides to skip breakfast so he can take his picture over to Rise's house.
