Austin tells Jake that Janey "ran home to his father". Jake coldly hit Austin and Priscilla, knocking them unconscious for engaging in Janey's humiliation. He then hit Les for being "really weird" (he also hit a plastic bag that just happened to float next to Les); after which he ran into Janey's house only to learn from his father that he would go to Paris for an art school.
