Tonya and her boyfriend, JB Bradshaw, are old friends of Franklin's. The couple run a towing service, but it is on the verge of being taken away from them. When Franklin asks about JB, Tonya is honest about the fact that he's off smoking crack. She pleads with Franklin to help them out by filling in for JB.
Franklin balks initially, but Tonya tries to guilt him into it by chiding him for not helping his cousin. After Franklin explains that they are not cousins, he reluctantly agrees to help. They both then head to the Davis Sheriff Impound to get JB's tow truck.
Franklin and Tonya get in the tow truck, then a dispatcher, Rodney, tells Tonya to tow an abandoned vehicle on San Andreas Avenue, Tonya responds that she and Franklin are filling in for JB. The dispatcher tells more about the abandoned vehicle, says it's been staying there for days, then he leaves the radio.
At Legion Square, Tonya says she watched JB towing multiple times, and she instructs Franklin to get the back of the truck close, making sure the crane is down, after which it should "slide through".
Franklin hooks up the abandoned car and Tonya tells him to get the car back into the lot. Once they arrive, Tonya tells Franklin to drop off the vehicle at the exact mark, as they can get picky about positioning.
Tonya says goodbye to Franklin, and tells him to call her if he needs something. Tonya then calls his boyfriend, JB, to inform him that Franklin did the towing job for him. JB asks Tonya what job she is talking about, to which Tonya responds calling him a "cracked-out fool", also mentioning his laziness. Tonya says goodbye to JB and tells him to "save [her] a taste", later hanging up the phone and beginning to smoke.
