In the gripping fourth episode of Season 1 of "Such Brave Girls," Billie realizes with certainty that Nicky has shut her out completely. Josie, still entangled with Seb, takes drastic measures by burning his belongings alongside Nicky's, hoping to conjure the reality she deeply desires. Dev, disheartened by the pervasive negative energy, ponders whether a genuine bonfire might be exactly what the girls need. Thus, they embark on a camping trip together, with Josie resolute in her quest for self-discovery. She carries a box adorned with her name, filled to the brim with art supplies, symbolizing her renewed commitment to her true passion.
She messages Sid, declaring that she has reclaimed her identity: an artist. However, Deb cautions her, warning that tapping into her emotions could be perilous. Furthermore, she doubts Josie's artistic prowess. Meanwhile, Dev mourns the adventures he can never share with Lisa, while Josie volunteers to accompany Billie on a supply run—though her true intent is to seek inspiration. Billie, on the other hand, feels an overwhelming emptiness in the absence of Nicky, desperate for anything to fill the void in her mind.
Their journey leads them to a church where Jane Austen penned parts of "Pride and Prejudice." Josie attempts to channel the same creative spark, but finds herself staring blankly at an empty page. Despair begins to creep in as she wonders who she truly is if she cannot bring her art to life.
Billie finds herself engaged in a profound dialogue with a priest, who reassures her that God will eternally steer her towards what is best for her. Billie interprets this message as God being an inseparable companion, a man who will never abandon her, instantly embracing this comforting notion.
Elsewhere, Dev and Deb embark on a hiking adventure, where Dev opens up about his cherished memories of Lisa. Attempting to shift his focus, Deb suggests an intimate distraction, but instead of responding, Dev weeps, overwhelmed by thoughts of his deceased wife. When the girls return empty-handed, Deb realizes she cannot recreate the feasts Lisa once prepared for Dev. His departure leaves her with fears of never matching up to Lisa's shadow.
Josie's comments cause Billie to ponder whether God might have orchestrated Nicky's departure from her life. Seeking clarification, Billie heads to the church but only encounters a fleeing figure.
Deb confronts Josie about her aspirations as an artist, asserting that art brings misery and evokes emotions she cannot afford to indulge in. Convinced that Dev will eventually return, Deb tasks Josie with seeking him out at night. Disregarding her mother's directives, Josie instead chooses to paint—a horse this time—but Deb and Billie only see reflections of her father in her works, a testament to her tendency to make everything about him. Deb subsequently forces Josie to vow to abandon her artistic pursuits forever.
Josie and Billie endeavor to bolster Deb's confidence, reminding her that, unlike Lisa, she is still alive and has no reason to consider herself second best. Just then, Dev returns, explaining his absence with a plausible excuse. He reassures Deb that his love for her stems from being exactly who she is, not because she tries to be Lisa.
