==Episode Summary==
The episode opens with Alexa staring at a portrait in a therapist's office when the therapist enters and apologises to her for running late. The therapist proceeds to rant about the traffic before Alexa notices that she had a coffee and donut in her hand. The therapist briefly defends herself before the conversation shifts back to the reason why Alexa was in the office at that moment: she was directed to by someone based on the events of the previous 48 hours. The therapist then instructs Alexa to recap her story. Alexa attempts to tell her the story of the past two years, however the therapist interrupts her by telling her to simply recap the last 48 hours. The therapist also instructs Alexa that she had around half an hour to recap her story; setting up the brief story-telling device for this episode.
Following the opening credits, the scene shifts back to exactly 48 hours prior to the therapy session; briefly narrated by Alexa as she recaps the moment following Dean's surprise proposal to her outside of the DMV (from towards the end of the previous episode). The story picks up with the pair's awkward silence, where Dean once again asks Alexa to give him an answer. As Alexa is left speechless once more, the moment gets interrupted when Dean receives a phone call. Dean attempts to ignore it at first however Alexa instructs him to answer it. He reluctantly does, and it is quickly revealed to be a receptionist from the Philadelphia hospital that Dean's half-sister was born at. The receptionist tells Dean that she finally found the real identity of his sister. Although Dean appears skeptical at first, he eventually gets convinced and he agrees to meet with the receptionist the following day with his father. Upon hanging up the phone, Dean and Alexa end up sharing a conversation about the upcoming meeting. Dean also convinces Alexa to attend the meeting by ignoring the question he asked previously. She reluctantly agrees as the pair are left awkwardly staring at each other. Alexa briefly breaks the silence by suggesting for Dean to dye his hair back to brown, and he agrees.
The scene shifts back to the present (Alexa's therapy session) when Alexa's therapist begins to make comments about Alexa's proposal rejection. Alexa reassures her therapist that her and Dean were still together as she decides to offer to recap events from a "side plot" involving Rachel and Reuben. The therapist briefly repels this by comparing their situation to a television show, however Alexa decides to tell the story anyway believing that it was relevant. Soon after the scene shifts back to 48 hours prior where both Reuben and Rachel are seen being questioned separately at the police station following Reuben's arrest. During Reuben's questioning, the police officers grill him about DNA evidence and his planted wallet, as well as his supposed allaby of living with Rachel the entire time. During Rachel's questioning, the officers grill her about her living situation over the past few months and also reveal that a lock of Rachel's hair was discovered at the sight of Karma's body. Rachel immediately comes to her and Reuben's defence as the officers settle on the concept of locking both of them up.
The following morning, Alexa is seen comforting a jittery Dean in the living room at the pair prepare for their meeting. Not long later they receive a knock on the door that is quickly revealed to be Dean's father Robert. Robert also appears to comfort Dean as the pair briefly talk about his relationship with Alexa. Just as the three appear ready to leave, Alexa receives a phone call which she appears reluctant to answer (this heavily mirrors the previous scene). Dean convinces her to answer it and she does, and the messenger is quickly revealed to be Alexa's acting manager who reveals to her that he had booked her a highly sort after audition. He also tells her that she had a 90% chance of landing it if she attended the audition within the hour. Alexa is left hesitant at this offer as she agrees to give herself some time to think about it. Upon hanging up the phone, her and Dean share a conversation about the audition. As Alexa suggests to first cancel the audition and then reschedule the meeting, Robert convinces her to attend the audition anyway and have Dean tell her the details at his earliest convenience. Both Dean and Alexa accept this as Alexa goes to leave for her audition. Before doing so, her and Dean share a tender moment where they embrace and wish each other "good luck". Dean also reminds Alexa to "stay safe" as she officially leaves.
The police officers continue to grill Reuben and Rachel with questions as two separate meetings. During Reuben's session, the police officers present new evidence of a supposed note in Reuben's handwriting confessing to the murder of the patron. They also manage to show Reuben a picture of the dead body and they ask him whether he knew the identity of it, which he declines. During Rachel's session, Rachel is asked the same identity question and immediately recognises the deceased as Karma; recapping some activities the two participated in previously. She also manages to mention Karma's girlfriend "Rachelle Normal", however the officers deny Rachelle's existence. Back in Reuben's session, the officers continue to grill Reuben about his note. Reuben continuously denies his involvement and plants the idea of Rachelle Normal planting the note in his locker at Soul of the Cycle. This revelation leaves the officers perplexed.
Alexa arrives at the production office door as a staff member briefly stops her and offers her a cup of water. Interpreting it as an act of kindness, Alexa happily accepts the beverage from her and drinks it all. The staff member then opens the office door for her as she enters. As the office appears to be in complete darkness, Alexa turns on the lights and begins to introduce herself. Her eyesight is immediately shot though as a miscellaneous voice instructs her to take a seat. She does, however upon sitting her speech begins to slur as her body enters a fatigued state. As the water from earlier is quickly revealed to have been spiked, the owner of the miscellaneous voice emerges from the darkness and reveals herself to be Izza S. Talker. As Alexa officially passes out in the chair, Izza quickly instructs to a series of people around her to help Alexa out of the office. The scene then cuts to several hours later, where Alexa finally wakes up from her daze, however this time she's tied to a chair in the middle of the living room. Alexa appears confused at first people she spots Izza pouring out gasoline from the corner of her eye. She soon notices the state she was in as she pleads to Izza to let her go. Izza curses to herself as she comments about not expecting Alexa to be awake at that moment.
Robert is seen comforting a nervous Dean at the hospital when the receptionist from the prior phone call enters the room holding a large envelope. The trio then discuss the contents of the envelope before Dean excuses himself to leave the table in anxiousness. Robert follows Dean as he begins to go into a state of panic. Robert eventually convinces him to calm down before the pair retake their place at the table. The receptionist then expresses her concern for Dean's welfare before Dean agrees to get the moment "over with". Dean then offers for Robert to open the envelope first and he does, where only a birth certificate with the girl's name on it is presented. Robert expresses a moment of relief as he finally learns the name of his daughter. He then asks Dean if he wanted to finally see it, and he does. Dean then takes the birth certificate off of his father and stares at it in a state of horror. He then reveals to his dad that he already knew who his sister was.
Back at the house, Izza is seen pouring out gasoline around the living room when Alexa rants at her to let her out. The pair share a hostile conversation with one another about Izza's plan of killing Alexa and stealing her life from her (including the way she involved all of her friends). Alexa then interrupts the moment to finally ask her about why she was doing it. Izza simply spits at her by claiming that Alexa was pretending to not know what she did to her in the past.
At the hospital, Dean hurryingly tells the receptionist to leave as he shares a conversation with his father. Once she leaves, he tells Robert all about the identity of his half-sister: Izza S. Talker and the horrific things she'd done to him and Alexa. Dean then makes the realisation that Alexa might be in danger at that moment as he rushes Robert to take him home. Robert leaves the birth certificate on the table facing up as he grabs his bag to leave with Dean. The camera then pans to display the name on the birth certificate: "Izadora Suzanna Talker" as the scene shifts to a flashback.
The name on the birth certificate from the previous scene, "Izadora Suzanna Talker" morphs into a shortened name "Izza S. Talker" on a notebook as Izza (in the present) narrates the scene from approximately eight or nine years prior. During the flashback, Izza explains her tough upbringing being raised in foster care, her high intelligence and interest in science, and her inability to make friends. At one point in her middle school, a group of her classmates are seen observing a lizard when Izza suggests for the students to let her show them a trick she was taught. Despite their protests she does the trick anyway by burning the lizard with a magnifying glass. Her fellow classmates are left saddened and disturbed when they leave Izza alone. The scene then shifts to a "fateful" day a few weeks later, where Izza and a group of her classmates are seen attending a tour of the local high school. The group are then greeted by a high school senior chaperon by the name of Alexa Wilson who agreed to show the students around. Izza becomes immediately impressed at Alexa's name as the pair meet for the first time. Throughout the day Alexa shows Izza and the students around the school and Izza appears infatuated with her. At one point during a tour of the science lab Izza attempts to speak up however one of her classmates mocks her for it. Alexa proceeds to defend Izza from the bully, leaving Izza impressed. The scene then shifts to the end of the day, where Izza (in the present) narrates that she wanted to get closer to Alexa. In the flashback Izza asks Alexa to hang out with her after school, however Alexa rejects her by citing that she had basketball practice. She then leaves Izza and her group alone, leaving Izza furious. The event causes Izza to go into a downward spiral, and a set of different circumstances is displayed showing Izza's descent into madness over the years leading up to their first reunion meeting in Not Yams, Spams!. 
Izza continues to narrate these events as the scene shifts back to the present. Alexa finally steps in and yells at Izza in confusion before eventually apologising. Izza refuses to accept her apology as she recounts her entire plan to Alexa once more. As Alexa pleads at her to stop, Izza ignores her as she lights a match and drops it onto the gasoline that was spilled onto the floor earlier. She then waves goodbye to Alexa sarcastically as she goes to leave. Upon doing so, she quickly realises that she had locked herself into the house and promptly asks Alexa for a key. Alexa refuses to give it to her as Izza frantically finds a way to get out of the house. As most of the bottom floor quickly erupts into flames around her, Izza just about heads to the back door however she is quickly blocked by a string of fire. She then sits down on the floor in defeat and covers her mouth as she prays for help.
Two police officers arrive at Izza's house and discuss their process of arriving at that moment. They decide to enter the house when no one answers the door. Upon entering, the officers discover a smell, which leads one of them into finding the deceased body of Mark in a closet. The other officer also manages to find Izza's cup of sedative needles in the refrigerator and her scrapbook on the bench. Meanwhile the officer who discovered the body also discovers a laptop, and upon touching it accidentally, he finds a live video feed of Izza and Alexa burning inside Alexa's house. This makes the officers conclude that Izza was guilty of the murder. The scene then briefly shifts to Reuben and Rachel finally being let out of the police station holding cells and having their potential charges dropped. The two breathe a sigh of relief before realising that Alexa might be in danger. They decide to rush home to her.
Dean and Robert arrive to the house to find it engrossed in flames. Dean frantically yells at bystanders to call 911 as he goes inside to get Alexa. Despite Robert's protests, Dean decides to go ahead and rescue Alexa anyway. He first spots her through the living room window and calls out to her, and Alexa responds in a weak tone still tied to her chair. Dean then agrees to go inside the house and ends up breaking the door down to rescue Alexa. Here he spots Alexa unconscious in her chair as he attempts to get her to wake up. He ultimately decides to pick her up out of the chair and carry her to the patio outside, all while parts of the ceiling begin to collapse. Just as first responders arrive on the scene, Dean instructs them and his father to resus Alexa as it is revealed that she wasn't breathing at that moment. He then decides to go back into the house despite Robert's continued protests. He simply tells his father that he needed to retrieve his personal belongings from his bedroom as he re-enters the house with his mouth covered. Just as he spots a clear opening to the staircase, he then spots a weak Izza crawling on the ground pleading for his help. He then begins to question her before hesitating. Eventually he decides to help Izza and ends up panning her off to the first responders just like he did with Alexa. Robert constantly pleads for Dean to leave the house as a piece of the ceiling ends up collapsing onto Dean's leg. He is left temporarily trapped as his father helps him out of the house. A mere second after Dean makes it out, the entire ceiling ends up collapsing into the living room. Just as him and his father share a moment of reconciliation on the patio, a first responder ends up resuscitating Alexa nearby. Dean is left staring at her in disbelief as the scene fades to black.
A sooty Dean is seen sitting in an ambulance with an oxygen mask and ice around his ankle when Rachel and Reuben approach him and immediately express their concern for his welfare. As Dean removes his mask and ice, the three then share a conversation about the events of the previous twenty four hours (including Reuben and Rachel's prior arrest) which ends with Dean mentioning that he couldn't save the box of possessions that Reuben bought for him. The three then mourn the losses of their belongings and house when Reuben suddenly mentions Alexa. This prompts Dean to look for her, and he ends up finding her sitting in the back of another ambulance with an oxygen mask on. He then shares a conversation and embrace with Alexa as they discuss the concept of Dean saving Alexa's life. While Alexa appears gracious at first, her mood quickly turns sour when she angrily asks Dean about why he saved Izza also. Dean attempts to defend himself by mentioning the fact that Izza was his sister. Alexa then lists off everything Izza had done to her and her friends, causing her to shun Dean. Dean then suggests for her to listen to him talk to his sister for the first time, so he ends up getting up to look for Izza. He soon finds her sitting in another ambulance in handcuffs with several police officers surrounding her. He then excuses the officers as he shares a conversation with Izza for the first time since his revelation. As his friends watch on, Dean simply provides a sly speech to her about how "different" he was to Izza for saving her life and declares that he will never consider her as his family. Izza attempts to talk to him, however Dean refuses to listen as he storms off the scene with a limp. The friends are left stunned and speechless at each other.
The following day, Dean, Reuben and Rachel all pay a visit to Alexa in the hospital and present her with gifts. Alexa is left stunned as she shares a brief conversation with Reuben and Rachel. After a little while, Alexa and Dean make eye-contact so Alexa suggests for the pair to have a talk in private. They do, and during this conversation Alexa expresses her gratitude towards Dean, however she tells him that she wasn't ready to accept his proposal as of yet. She then reassures him that she will always love him as he accepts this. Suddenly a worker at the hospital interrupts them and tells Alexa that she was required to attend a mandatory therapy session around that moment. As she instructs her friends to leave, she then asks the worker if she could use the bathroom first and she does.
The scene then shifts back to the real present (Alexa's therapy session) where Alexa concludes her story to her therapist. Her therapist is left shell shocked as a timer goes off; declaring the end of their session. As the episode's credits begin to roll, the therapist rushes Alexa out of her office to tell her to come back for another session the following week and promises her that she'll be on time. Just as the two leave the room, the therapist asks Alexa about whether or not she told her about every single thing from the past 48 hours and left nothing out, and Alexa reassures her that she did. Just as Alexa goes to pick up her bag, the scene shifts back to the story where Alexa is seen sitting on the toilet at the hospital in a distressed state. She then picks up an item in her hands and stares at it as it is quickly revealed to be a positive pregnancy test. Alexa stares at the object and sobs into it in shock as the scene turns to black and the episode concludes.
