Fez attacks Nate (Jacob Elordi) during a New Year's Eve party in the premiere episode because the high school bully ratted him out to police. The brutal beatdown results in Nate getting hospitalized. Nate's dad, Cal, then goes on a quest to figure out who beat up his son. Nate refuses to snitch, but Cassie (Sydney Sweeney) does.
Cal eventually goes to Fez's store to intimidate him. When it looks like he's pulling a gun out of his pocket, Ashtray pulls out a gun stored in a cereal box in the event that Cal shoots. It turns out Cal was just pulling out money to pay for a pack of gum, but Ashtray was ready!
