At dinner, Debbie notices that Lexi seems devastated after apparently breaking up with Zane. Lexi barely eats and snaps when Debbie asks whether she wants something else, while Cooper also seems pale, distracted, and unwilling to explain what is wrong.

Cooper receives a phone call, hides the screen from Debbie, and rushes upstairs to take it privately after Debbie hears what sounds like a female voice. Debbie clears the table alone and debates whether to investigate Cooper’s secretive behavior or check on Lexi.

When Debbie hears sobbing from Lexi’s room, Debbie abandons the idea of spying on Cooper and goes to her daughter. Lexi breaks down and reveals that Zane has photos showing her breasts and is threatening to send them to his friends unless Lexi has sex with him.

Lexi explains that Zane has done something similar before with another girl from his former school in Florida, where his friends protected him and the image circulated widely. Terrified that her entire school and future will be ruined, Lexi begs Debbie not to tell the principal because she believes school involvement will make the photos and rumors spread faster.

Debbie promises not to report Zane to the school and instead asks Lexi to trust her. Lexi agrees, and Debbie resolves that Zane will not win. Holding her daughter, Debbie privately remembers that her own life changed after she was raped during her second year of college, a trauma she has never told anyone and that now fuels her determination to protect Lexi.
