Jill's brother arranges for a friend to pick her up on his scooter and take her home due to the intense smog. Jill is grateful when she finally sees the scooter and invites Joe up for a cup of coffee to warm up when they arrive. They are kissing in her kitchen when the doorbell rings and her brother's friend tells her that the fog had delayed him and he was wondering if she got home alright. Realizing Joe had taken advantage of the situation, she brandishes a pan and gives him thirty seconds to get out.
