Joan is given big billing but has a small role, and soon both her number and her time are up. The plot perks right along without her. Having learned Andi's identity, Ireland closes in during the whee hours when open windows, flashing cutlery and hairbreadth escapes are apt to achieve maximum impact among teenagers.
