She leaves Nick a message to call, before discussing Summer’s arrest – Phyllis can’t believe it of her Supergirl. Billy suggests Phyllis get the facts. She agrees.

In the jail, Summer yammers to the guard that this is all a misunderstanding; she didn’t steal the car, she borrowed it from her boyfriend…well, technically he’s not her boyfriend.
