When April and Dylan broke the news to him that the drugs went to the wrong person, Ray pretended to panic. He called his boss, and then confirmed to the teens that there was a way to rectify the mistake without landing in too much trouble.<\/p>\n<p>Ray explained that April and Dylan would need to continue working for him to pay off their debt.
