When Phillip comes in, Olivia apologizes to him for not letting him see her before. She explains to Phillip that it had to do with Lizzie. She tells him that she believes Lizzie caused her fall. Phillip doubts her, so Olivia tells him that Lizzie sent Ben up to the cabin and Tammy and Cassie know this as well. She continues to explain that Lizzie told her before that the carpet was ripped, and she had it fixed. The day she fell, the carpet had been ripped again, and that's how she fell. Phillip asks her why she didn't tell him in the first place that she suspected Lizzie of setting up her fall. Olivia tells him that she knew he wouldn't hear it. She tells Phillip that she can't see him anymore because it is the only way to protect their baby from his daughter. Phillip still doubts that Lizzie had anything to do with the fall, and after Olivia explains how things went down, he tells her that it sounds to him that Lizzie was trying to prevent the fall by calling out to her. Olivia questions Phillip whether protecting himself from the truth is worth their baby's life. Phillip tells her to be reasonable, and Olivia demands that he leave. Rick comes in due to the loud voices to see if everything is alright, and Phillip steps out.

At the museum, Marah arranges a protest. The group plan to protest the Dean insisting that the Mole be taken off the college radio station. Marah questions Sandy, the Mole's assistant, why the Mole didn't show up. Marina tells Marah that it is probably because the Mole has made a living bad mouthing people, and now those same people are defending him. It's probably embarrassing for him. Remy reminds the crew that his dad, the Dean, rarely changes his mind about anything unless it's an act of God. Shayne feels that Marina dragged him along for the protest because she is trying to avoid making a decision regarding Ben's trust fund.

Phillip explains everything from Lizzie telling Ben where Marina was to supposedly ripping the carpet intentionally for Olivia to fall. Harley tells Phillip that Beth might jump to conclusions, but Lillian seems to be supporting Beth.

Afterwards, Ross questioned Jeffrey that he must have friends in high places to take on that judge. Jeffrey responded with "If I told you, I'd have to kill you." Then quickly said it was a joke. Ross insisted and Jeffrey pleaded the fifth.

Frank shows up and offers to have her checked out at the hospital. She claims that she is fine. Frank tells them that they caught the mugger. Danny questions Frank about the mugger. When Frank tells him the mugger was only 18 years old, Danny wonders where the boys parents are or whoever is responsible for him. Father Ray shows up and tells them that he is responsible for the boy. The boys parents were killed six years ago when they refused to pay Carmen protection money. The boy went to Father Ray and begged him to hide him so that he wouldn't be taken away. The boy lives in an abandoned building on Fifth Street. Father Ray tells them that the boy is a good kid, and he doesn't understand what happened that made the boy want to commit a crime.

He reminds her that Ray said that Carmen might be responsible for the boy's parents death. Danny thinks that the mugging might not have been random.

Gus shows up and tells Phillip that they found Beth's car, and Harley is on her way to them now. Gus questions the depth of Lizzie's problems.

Gus gets a call from Harley. She tells him that she found Beth, Lillian, and Lizzie; and there are a lot of loud voices coming from inside. Phillip wants her to get Lizzie out of there. Harley tells Phillip that she is not going inside yet because it sounds like an intervention to her. Phillip tells her that it may be an intervention, but the whole family should be a part of it. Phillip tells her that he has a really bad feeling about this, and he begs Harley to go inside and get Lizzie out of there. Harley explains that Lizzie is getting a workout from her mother, but she is holding her own.
Inside the rustic retreat, Lillian and Beth try to get Lizzie to open the bathroom door. Beth tells her that they came up there to talk, and it is a lot harder to do with a door between them. Lizzie tells them that they don' t want to talk, they just want to tell her how bad and crazy she is. She opens the door and insists that they stop calling her sweetie. She tells them that she has already told them what happened, but no one believes her, so they are done talking. Lizzie heads for the door, but Beth grabs her arm. Lizzie pushes Beth down then smashes a vase on the floor. Lillian pulls Beth aside to talk about what style of pressure to put on Lizzie. In the meantime, Lizzie has picked up a piece of glass from the broken vase. Beth and Lillian return to continue their conversation, but Lizzie threatens to cut her wrist. Harley is watching from outside, and tells Phillip and Gus that she is going in. She leaves her cell phone on and walks in. She tells Lizzie that no one is going to get hurt. Harley tells Lizzie that cutting her wrist won't solve anything because it hurts, it's messy, and she might not even die. She continues to say that the three of them will be all over her the second she cuts her wrist, and her grandmother is a nurse, so she probably won't even die. Gus and Phillip are hearing everything. Harley talks to her about her illness with leukemia and how happy the family was to see her beat the odds, and how hard she fought for her life. Harley tells her that if she dies, she can not tell the people who love her what really happened. Harley reaches for the glass. Lizzie lets her take it, and they share a hug. Beth tells them they need to go back to Springfield and suggests that Lizzie ride with Harley. Lillian thinks that Beth is giving up. Beth tells her that she is not giving up, she just doesn't want a repeat scene. Lillian tells her this was just an act because if she wanted to hurt herself, she could have done it when she was alone in the bathroom.
Phillip is relieved, but is questioning where they go from here. Phillip feels that he has failed as a father. His daughter was ready to cut her wrist, and he was forty miles away. Gus tells him that he thinks he is a very good father. Phillip tells Gus that he has had his eyes closed, and if they were open he could have seen this coming.
At the rustic retreat, Lillian is still trying to convince Beth not to give up on her daughter. Beth goes through the what if's, and Lillian tells her that is exactly why they have to go through with the intervention process. Lillian reminds Beth that their original plan was to try an intervention with just the three of them, and if it didn't work, they would check her into a treatment facility. Beth breaks down, and Lillian tells her not to think of it as a defeat, but as a positive step. Lizzie would be safe, and she would be able to work through her problems. Beth tells Lillian that she knows she is right, it just hurts.
Harley and Lizzie are driving home. Harley takes the scenic route so that she would have plenty of time to talk to Lizzie. Harley keeps conversation by asking Lizzie to talk to her about what Beth and she were talking about. Harley tells her that any kid would feel threatened knowing that a new baby was coming into the picture especially by someone she doesn't like. Lizzie tells her that she didn't blame the baby, and she is fine with things now. She admits that she had a problem with it before because no one talked to her about it like an adult should. Lizzie tells Harley that she didn't have anything to do with Olivia's accident. She explains that she called out to Olivia to tell her that the carpet was torn again. Lizzie can tell by Harley's reaction that she doesn't believe her. Lizzie tells Harley that she thought she could count on her. Harley said that she has lied about so many things, she doesn't know when to believe her. Harley tells her to open up with her family so that they can trust her. Lizzie tells her that she wishes everyone would leave her the hell alone. Harley comments that after today, that is highly unlikely. Lizzie wants to know what she means by that, and Harley explains that after trying to kill herself, the family can' t ignore her problems anymore. Harley explains that they will have to get her some intensive help away from home, but they wouldn't have to if she would start telling everyone the truth. Lizzie grabs a hold of the wheel and tries to pull the vehicle off the road.

He claims that his angle is to clean up Fifth Street, and if that means cleaning up people like Nico so be it. Nico starts to jump Danny, but the guard grabs him. Ray tells Danny that Nico is musician. Playing the guitar means everything to him, and someone had stolen it today, and that is why he mugged Michelle.
