When {{Ash}} attempted to join the ceremonial relaying of the torch as one of the torch runners, Officer Jenny tried to stop him, saying he looked like a troublemaker. However, Mr. Goodshow stepped in and defended Ash while also informing Officer Jenny that how a person looked on the outside was not as important as who they were on the inside. As a result, Ash was allowed to run with the flame. | |||
