In the thrilling third episode of Season 1 of "Such Brave Girls," Josie embarks on a challenging mission to persuade Billie to reconsider keeping her unexpected baby. Upon witnessing the ultrasound image, Billie's resolve melts away, leading her to a poignant decision. Elsewhere, Deb finds herself in a financial bind, forced to repossess her car yet deceitfully informing Dev that it's undergoing repairs, shielding him from the gravity of her money woes.
Josie, grappling with her own emotional turmoil, concludes that embracing a relationship with Seb might be a simpler escape from confronting her genuine feelings. However, she balks at the idea of intimacy with him, much to his disappointment. In a desperate bid to steer his focus elsewhere, she labels him a sex addict, a claim that ignites his desire for therapeutic intervention. Recognizing the peril of being exposed as a detrimental influence in his life, Josie strikes a compromise: she agrees to administer two handjobs weekly, with additional sessions on special occasions – and ironically, her birthday falls on the very next day.
Unaware of their strained finances, Dev plans a romantic dinner outing, presuming Deb will handle the expenses, while Deb, in turn, expects him to foot the bill. Meanwhile, Billie, clad in her witch's attire from work, silently proceeds with her abortion, keeping the decision concealed from Nicky.
Amidst this web of secrets and struggles, Josie's compassionate coworker senses her turmoil and gently inquiries if her fear of solitude is what truly binds her in uncertainty.
At the family birthday dinner, amidst the festive gathering of Dev, Nicky, and Seb, Josie procrastinated on placing her order, using this delay as a tactics to postpone her confrontation with Seb. She casually mentioned her abortion to Nicky, taking advantage of the moment when Billie was occupied in the bathroom. Nicky, startled by the revelation, abruptly left the scene. Upon discovering the situation, Billie confronted Josie, accusing her of misunderstanding Nicky's kindness as encouragement for the abortion. Returning to the dinner table, Billie shockingly announced to everyone that Josie was a lesbian, followed by a dramatic gesture of smashing her birthday cake into Josie's face.
Nicky subsequently blocked Billie on all fronts, prompting Billie to once again contemplate suicide. Finding them both in the bathroom, Deb expressed bewilderment about the disintegration of their family dynamics, reminiscing about a time when they were candid and close-knit. In response, Josie revealed the abortion to both Deb and Dev. Deb, seemingly confident in her own understanding of life, advised them to mature and dismissed Josie's sexual identity as a delusion, while criticizing Billie for her emotional instability. Believing she had life sorted out with a partner who would financially support her, Deb was soon confronted with reality when Dev handed her the dinner bill at the table.
Josie deliberately burnt her hand as a desperate measure to avoid fulfilling Seb's sexual demands. While Seb attended to his own needs, Josie recounted a fictitious scenario involving her and another woman, but her fantasies fell short of matching Seb's expectations. Nonetheless, this incident marked a turning point for Josie, prompting her to begin reflecting on her own emotions and desires.
