To me, it's not the plurality of the subject, but whether there is movement. So I'd agree with both your example sentences: because toward means a certain direction while towards means actually moving in that direction. (To me, anyway--I'm not saying there's a grammatical rule about that...)

you may be onto something there. I noticed when i was making the example sentences that headed sounded better in the second one....
