Knox thinks it would be a good idea for the kids to deliver food for Christopher's restaurant. This would help Christopher’s family, and the tips would help them pay for Andrew’s airfare. The family goes into a grocery store, and there is a mad rush of people, and many items are out of stock. One woman has many packages of toilet paper, and when Knox asks her if he can have one, she refuses. He purchases coffee filters and other supplies instead to use as toilet paper. When Julie meets the kids in line, people step away from her because she is an Asian person. When one man says they are just trying to be safe, she tells him to avoid being a racist. Some people echo Julie, and this lets the family know they are not alone.

In the car, Julie is upset because she hoped her children would not experience such racism. Knox cheers her up by reminding her of all the people who echoed them, and he tells her that it is not possible to keep them safe from everything. She tells them that the restaurant Lao Lao and Lao Ye worked at when she was younger was vandalized by racists once, but people rallied around them.
