The sixth episode of Season 3 of "Ginny and Georgia" opens with Georgia in solitary confinement within her own home, her spirit crushed by the Children's Protective Services' seizure of her children. She drowns her sorrows in alcohol, glued to the television news that brands her as the infamous "Mayoress Murderess," her every move scrutinized and judged by the public. Adoration mingles with odious contempt; she is both revered and reviled.
Ginny, meanwhile, rebellious and restless, takes her frustration out on Zion. In a moment of defiance, she finds herself out late under the moonlit sky, entangled in a passionate kiss with Wolfe. Georgia, desperate for a glimpse of her daughter, calls upon Zion, pleading for a word with Ginny. Her heart sinks when she realizes Zion is clueless about Ginny's whereabouts, but a fortunate precaution—a tracker on Ginny's person—reveals she is en route home.
A flashback unveils Zion receiving his first overseas posting, while Georgia grapples with insecurities, fearing she falls short in Zion's eyes and constantly relying on his parents' intervention. Amidst their heated dispute, she discovers his lack of intent to propose, prompting her to storm away in a fit of rage.
Ginny arrives home to find herself grounded by Zion, her anger at him still simmering. She refuses to engage, shutting him out completely. In the dead of night, Georgia reaches out to Ginny, her voice trembling with vulnerability. Fearing the repercussions of breaking curfew and the subsequent blow to her mother's precarious situation, Ginny blocks her calls, leaving Georgia isolated and vulnerable. Soon after, a brick shatters Georgia's window, a stark symbol of the hostility surrounding her.
The next day, Ginny unleashes her frustrations to Bracia, their conversation veering towards her thrilling escapades with Wolfe. Bracia, too, admits her confusion regarding her feelings for Byrone.

Meanwhile, Abby stands by Ginny's side, offering her support.
In court, Georgia faces the harsh reality of abandonment; no one shows up to stand by her side. Nick's testimony deals a devastating blow to her case.
