Jay learns from his friends that the lockdown at school was due to a suspected terrorist cell being arrested, not a drug bust or fight as rumored. He recognizes his classmate Haroon on the news among those arrested by police for allegedly planning to bomb local buildings and transportation. However, Jay finds it hard to believe since Haroon is quiet in their geography class and was released by police.
