A few days later, Johnny told Torrence to get Robby to Olive Garden and he'd get Miguel. Sitting at the table with Robby, talking quietly, Miguel walks up. Both boys groan before Robby looks at Torrence. "Did dad plan this?" She shrugs. "Are you in on it?" She shrugs again. "Let me guess. Your dad invited you to lunch too?" Miguel asks, walking up. "Yep." "He didn't tell you I was coming?" "Nope." Robby starts to stand as Miguel turns away. "Hey, hey. Where are you going? Where you going? Sit down. Hear me out for a minute." Johnny says as he walks up. Both boys sit as Johnny pulls a chair to the head of the table. "All right, yeah, we lied to get you here."

Torrence looks at him. "After what I saw at the water park, I knew you wouldn't come willingly. And I know you're both in bitchy moods cause you just broke up with your girlfriends. Since the whole Mexico thing felt like, at least, a small step in the right direction, I figured it might help if we went on another little trip." He finishes. "A trip? To a mall in Chatsworth?" Robby asks. "Your body might be at a mall, my friend, but your taste buds are about to go on a tour of the old country. This guy knows what I'm talking about." The waiter says as he walks up. "Yes, I do." Johnny answers. "It doesn't matter where we go. The birthplace of culinary delight awaits. You want an Alfredo? Boom, we're in Rome." The guy starts.

"Ravioli? Tuscany it is. We gotta come back here for the chocolate lasagna, cause like baseball and Big Gulps, that's only in America." He finishes. Miguel shakes his head as Robby stares at him. "Tell you what, I'm gonna get you guys a basket of breadsticks fresh out of the oven. I'll come right back. Done and done." He walks away. "Come on, guys. Guy gives that kind of effort, you just sit there looking pissed?" Johnny asks. "It's not his effort I'm pissed at." Miguel says. "Breadsticks aren't gonna fix this." "Spoken like a man who's never had the Garden's breadsticks. One bite and you'll forget why you were ever mad at each other in the first place." Johnny states.

"Yeah, I'm never gonna forget that." "Neither am I." They both stand, walking away. The waiter sets down the breadsticks. "I'll give you a minute." He says. "Thanks." Johnny sighs. "You hungry?" He asks Torrence. "Are you kidding? Always recently." She answers. He laughs, moving the basket to her. Later that day, Torrence is lying in bed, almost asleep as she listens to Johnny come in with Miguel for his next plan. "Relax. I told you. Robby's not home." He says. She scoffs, Robby's in his room. She wasn't sure what he had planned, but she knew it wasn't good when she heard the door lock. "What's, uh... What's all this?" Miguel asks. "Ah, don't worry about it." Johnny says, walking down the hallway and knocking on Robby's door.

He knocks on their door. "Are you asleep, princess?" He asks. "I was trying but no." She answers. He opens the door, motioning her out. She sends him a look, shaking her head. "You made me do this." He states, picking her up bridal style and walking out right before Robby walks out, pulling his headphones off. "You literally just said he wasn't here." Miguel snaps. "Yeah, I lied again. Not my fault you fell for it twice." Johnny says, sitting Torrence on the counter. "You guys are right. Tricking you into lunch wasn't my best effort. So I did some interneting." Torrence laughs and Johnny playfully glares at her as he grabs his laptop.

"Found a bunch of strategies for building trust and teamwork through cooperative exercises. The least lame one is called an escape room. How it works-" He starts to explain when Robby cuts him off. "I know what an escape room is and I'm not doing it." "Yeah, that goes double for me." Miguel says, walking to the door, trying to turn the handle. "I reversed the doorknobs. It's locked from the inside. And this is the only key." He drops it down the garbage disposal, turning it on. "I glued the windows shut too, so no one's getting out of here unless you work together. Now, as I was saying, the way it works is, you start with a theme, okay? Our theme is the Lincoln County War." He states, pressing a button on the radio.

"I'm going to bed." Torrence hops down, kissing Johnny quickly. "Let me know how this works." He sighs, wishing she would stay out here but she was up all last night throwing up so he gets it. She closes the bedroom door, curling up on the bed. She wakes up a little bit later, walking out to find Johnny scraping glue off the window. He just looks defeated. She wraps her arms around his shoulders, kissing his head. He relaxes, smiling up at her. Someone knocks. "You have to open it from out there." He says loud enough for them to hear. The door opens and in walks Daniel. "Hey." "LaRusso? Oh, you look like shit." Johnny says, standing and walking to him. "Look, I need your help. I think Silver paid off Stingray to lie about Kreese's attack."
