Though despite
all the rules, there is a local snack bar, where its owner allows young people to listen loud music and dancing when law enforcement isn't around. One night Willard asks Ren to come and check it out.

Some time Ariel breaks her relationship off with Chuck and he realizes there's been something going on with her and Ren. They get into a huge fight which ends with Chuck attacking Ariel physically.
