Mr. Hansen praises her essay on the Romantics and encourages her to share the good news and get excited about exploring the big world.

Meanwhile, Abby returns home safely in the rain. Her mother inquires about the fight with Lily, but Abby denies it. They all go to sleep, only to be awakened by Abby in the middle of the night, reporting that Lily is missing.
The next morning, Eve calls the police to report Lily's disappearance. The case is assigned to Tommy and Rachel, who interview Eve and Abby about their last encounters with Lily. However, Abby is reluctant to reveal the full extent of their fight or the drugs at the hangout, fearing that Lily's disappearance might be her fault.
Tommy informs them that they've found Lily's phone, but the forensics team is still examining it. He also notes that they've cleared Wes after confirming his movements. Following Tommy's advice, Eve makes a public appeal for information about Lily's disappearance.

She confronts him for not helping with the search and allowing Lily to wander off alone. He apologizes and asks her to tell the truth about the drugs to the police. However, Abby fears that the police will use the drugs as an excuse not to search for her sister. As she walks back home, she runs into Rick, who offers her a ride. Once again, he plays the role of a concerned teacher, trying to shift the blame onto Wes. But Abby defends him. Thankfully, he safely drops her off at home.
