Since Peter has no I.D., he gets his wife to wire money to Ethan, but discovers he had the money wired to his stage name instead of his legal name. When the Western Union employee refuses to accept Ethan’s “Stage name I.D.” it leads to a violent altercation. After a night at a rest stop, Peter impulsively drives off to abandon Ethan, but realizes that he has forgotten to unload the ashes of Ethan’s father when he left. This causes him to wrestle with his conscience, before deciding to return, and covering for his absence by saying he had gone to buy breakfast.

Ethan takes over driver duty so Peter can get some rest after a sleepless night, but he falls asleep at the wheel and crashes the car. Peter calls his friend, Darryl, for assistance and decides to part with Ethan, but Darryl persuades Peter otherwise. They arrive at Darryl’s house for rest. During their conversation, Ethan discovers hints that Sarah may have been unfaithful, triggering Peter to question Sarah’s timely pregnancy. Darryl throws both of them out after mistakenly drinking some of Ethan’s father’s ashes.
