After a tense confrontation with Will Spencer, RJ drove down a dark coastal road while distracted by his phone. The fog obscured his view, and in a split second, his luxury car struck a pedestrian. Panic took over the golden boy, and instead of staying to help the victim, he sped away into the night.
