Kane greets her as ‘Teach’. Ava takes a bloodied Liam back to her house. When Ava leaves the room to call Bianca, Liam flees; Dexter sees Kane collar Liam outside. Later, at the party, Ashleigh tries to persuade Liam to leave with her but Kane insists he stays. When Kane turns threatening, Liam locks himself in the bathroom. Bianca’s distraught when she reaches Ava’s and discovers Liam’s gone. Liam phones Bianca; she can hear him crying and Kane banging on the door. Reluctantly, Dexter gives Bianca Kane’s address.
