Lily and Rosaleen go to Sylvan, where Rosaleen says she is going to register to vote, but some men begin to speak to her in a derogatory manner. After continued harassment, Rosaleen decides to fight back, pouring the snuff spit she had collected all over the shoes of the men. They demand that Rosaleen apologize and clean their shoes, but she refuses. The men call the police and then beat Rosaleen. When the police arrive, Rosaleen is arrested, and the officer tells Lily they will call T. Ray for her.
