When Jason Hawthorne picked up the phone, he initially thought Asher Thorne was tricking him, and couldn't believe he actually managed to persuade Laura Quincy...
However, that was indeed the case.
He could only willingly agree to Asher's extortion, because who else helped him get a chance to be with Laura!
After getting in the car, Laura had her friend leaning against her and then turned her head to look out the window, completely treating Jason Hawthorne as a driver.
Given they both were sitting in the back seat, it was even a bit difficult for Jason to make small talk.
About ten minutes into the drive, Nina Pierce, who was drowsily leaning against Laura, suddenly propped herself up, mumbling, "Stop the car."
In this scenario, if Laura didn't understand her friend's subtext, it would be foolish!
"Could you pull over?"
"One moment."
