Tess goes to town with friends on occasion. Alec, who constantly hits on Tess, offers a ride home from town. Tess refuses. When her friends pick her up there is an ugly incident. Tess is accused of making fun Car (a girl that doesn't like Tess) and a row ensues. Alec comes galloping along to take Tess to "safety". Actually he takes Tess to the forest and rapes her.
