When the police show up, Marvin flees and discards pills near Avani, leading to the girls being taken to the station where Avani faces a search without parental presence due to her parents not answering their phones. In a twist off-screen, Aaliyah James, the actress behind Avani, isn't actually a teen but 24 years old, meaning there's a nine-year difference between her and her on-screen persona.
