==Episode Summary==
===Plot A: Izza makes a move===
The episode opens with Izza writing in her Alexa scrapbook in the middle of the night when she receives a knock at the door. She proceeds to grab her cup of needles from the fridge when she calls out to the mystery visitor/s to tell her their identity. The visitor/s is quickly revealed to be a couple of police officers, which prompts Izza to put down her needles and answer the door. Upon answering, she questions the officers' intentions before they reveal that her previous lawyer William Townsend was reported missing. The scene briefly cuts to a few flashbacks of Izza killing William (from It Was My Time), driving his dead body to a secluded location, and dropping his body in a secluded lake while they tell her this. In the present, Izza attempts to defend herself in innocence, however the officers offer to search her house anyway. Izza immediately denies them this and asks them for a search warrant, however it is revealed that the officers didn't have one at the time. She then sends them away as she is left alone in her living room. She immediately rushes over to the scrapbook and closes it shut before staring at herself in a mirror. While staring at herself, she simply whispers "It's time", officially putting her plan into action...
Izza rides in the backseat of a mystery Scuba when she asks the driver to drop her off in a random location. She then gets out and walks a fair way into a Soul of the Cycle business. Donning a pair of sunglasses, a blonde bob wig and a large duffle bag (assumingly with her scrapbook inside), she enters the lobby of the SOTC and approaches the reception desk. She then checks into her upcoming SOTC class, and provides the receptionist with a fake name "Rachelle Normal". The receptionist then asks for her to present some identification. Izza then pulls out her wallet, however she seemingly struggles to find her identification. The receptionist asks Izza to take a seat nearby so she could serve other customers. As she does so, Rachel suddenly enters the SOTC lobby and eggs Reuben to join her inside. Reuben is visibly embarrassed by this as the two share a conversation about the ordeal; which Izza closely listens in on. Rachel chooses to ignore him as she makes her way to the reception desk to check her and Reuben in. The receptionist makes a comment about "Rachelle Normal" from prior, however Rachel doesn't appear impressed. Soon enough both her and Reuben present their identifications to the receptionist as they make their way towards the class. Finally Izza finds her identification (albeit a fake one) and presents it to the receptionist. The receptionist attempts to give it back to her, however Izza simply tells her that she will retrieve it later as she follows Rachel and Reuben into the class.
In the dressing room, Reuben puts on a pair of tights as the women around him begin to laugh. He attempts to get Rachel to defend him with very little success. Not long later Reuben attempts to get Rachel to give him advice on how to participate in the class. As she begins explaining it to him, Izza walks in on the conversation and interrupts her. Reuben decides to walk off into class as Izza and Rachel share a lengthy conversation with one another. At one point Izza asks Rachel to borrow her locker to put her duffel bag in, however due to spacing issues she simply assigns her Reuben's locker and hands her the key. Izza stares at the key in triumph as Rachel agrees to meet her in class. The scene then cuts to the class where Reuben struggles to sit on his bicycle. Rachel and Izza somehow enter the class at the same time rather late, which earns them a lecture from the instructor. The pair apologise to the instructor as they join Reuben at the back of the class. Rachel manages to help Reuben onto the bicycle as the class officially commences. Rachel provides verbal instructions to Reuben and Izza.
Halfway through the class Rachel and Izza are both participating in the class with ease when Reuben manages to fall of his bicycle. He begins to panic as Rachel rushes over to help him up. In doing so, she makes a comment about how sweaty Reuben was. In response, Izza offers to "help" Reuben out by wiping some of his sweat off with a towel. As Rachel successfully gets Reuben up off of the ground, Izza offers to wipe some of Rachel's sweat off of her as well. Although Rachel declines she does so anyway, and manages to pull a strand of her hair in the process while removing her sweatband. Immediately afterwards Izza rushes out of the class to use the "bathroom". She manages to strategically place Rachel's sweatband on the ground behind Reuben's bicycle as she leaves the room in a hurry. She ends up going to dressing room and placing Reuben and Rachel's sweat and hair into her duffel bag. She then hurries out back into the lobby and greets the receptionist to get her identification back. At first she ends up hallucinating the receptionist believing that she knew about her crimes, causing her to yell at her. Back in reality, the receptionist attempts to ask her to leave however Izza apologises and once more asks for her identification back. Meanwhile in the class, Reuben steps down off his bicycle and ends up slipping on Rachel's sweatband, twisting his ankle. The instructor rushes out to the lobby to get the receptionist's attention. As the receptionist agrees to attend to Reuben's injury, this gives Izza the opportunity to step behind the reception desk, take back her own fake identification and photograph copies of Rachel and Reuben's identification on a burner phone. She then leaves the place mere seconds before Reuben gets hopped out into the lobby by Rachel and several SOTC staff members. They make him sit on the couch as they agree to call an ambulance for him.
Rachel is seen cheering Reuben up over the phone at the grocery store by offering him to buy him junk food. When she hangs up on him, she gets startled by the sight of Izza standing nearby. The two share a conversation about the "coincidence" of the pair running into each other before the discussion turns to Reuben. Izza ultimately offers to go with Rachel to visit Reuben in the hospital. A short while later, the women approach the checkout with Rachel's groceries, however Izza interrupts her by offering to pay for them. She ends up using a stolen credit card to purchase them and sneaks in a bottle of vodka on the conveyor belt. They sneakingly smile at each other as the cashier rings up their groceries.
A noticeably drunk Rachel is seen driving Izza to the hospital with a seemingly drunk Izza in the back seat. The two are seen giggling with one another and discussing Rachel's fallout with Dean with beverages in their hands. Izza also gains sudden interest when Rachel mentions Alexa. Izza proceeds to sarcastically ask Rachel if she wanted to kill her, however she expectedly declines. After a little while both Rachel and Izza's glasses appear empty. Izza asks Rachel to pull over as she goes to fill up the glasses with more vodka. As she gets out of the car to do so, it is notable that Izza fills Rachel's glass up with vodka and her own with distilled water. This reveals that Izza was currently sober at that moment while Rachel was pure drunk.
Rachel eventually pulls up to the hospital and proceeds to get out of the vehicle to retrieve Reuben. Since Rachel appeared intoxicated, Izza offers to get Reuben herself and offers Rachel to go for a walk. Rachel ends up walking off and confessing her new trust in Izza as Izza enters the waiting room of the hospital. Here she approaches a visibly annoyed Reuben who is confused to see her. The two share a conversation about earlier that day and the fact that Rachel was too drunk to pick Reuben up. Reuben gets offended by this as Izza simply offers to drive him home. As the credits begins to roll, Izza approaches Rachel's car and asks Reuben to get in the back seat. She proceeds to steal Rachel's car and abandon her outside the hospital as she drives Reuben home. When Reuben begins to tell Izza his street address, Izza answers back that she already knew. As they drive off, an intoxicated Rachel is shown to be sitting down on the sidewalk in front of the hospital and wondering about the whereabouts of Izza and Reuben. The scene then turns to black and the words "ALSO TO BE CONTINUED" is written across the screen.
===Plot B: Much needed answers===
Following the opening credits, Dean is seen sleeping on the couch while covered in heavy books. Blanket attempts to wake him and manages to do so by slamming a book down onto the ground. Dean startles awake as Blanket asks him about what he was doing. He reveals to her that he was attempting to find the identity of his half sister by looking through a series of name directories; and reveals that he has been doing so for over a month straight with no success. He eventually confesses that Alexa was helping him as well, so he takes Blanket up to Alexa's bedroom as proof. In Alexa's bedroom, Alexa can be seen playing BUGJ Mobile on her phone when she hears Dean and Blanket approaching. She immediately turns off her game, does a backwards somersault onto her bed, grabs her laptop and types in "forf family" into a search engine to pretend that she was doing it the whole time. Dean and Blanket soon enter her room and Dean is immediately impressed by Alexa's efforts. Blanket quickly diminishes this as she notices the typo on Alexa's laptop. Alexa continues to go along with her lie while Dean sends Blanket out of the room. Once she leaves, Alexa finally confesses that she wasn't putting in any effort, however she immediately defends herself by mentioning upcoming and current challenges in her life. Dean still appears offended at her, however Alexa cheers him up by offering to spend the afternoon searching with him. Just as Dean leaves the room, Alexa makes a comment about the "coolness" of the last name "Forf".
Dean and Alexa anxiously pine through name directories together with very little success. Blanket attempts to interrupt them, however they choose to ignore her unless she offered anything helpful. This leads her into suggesting for Dean to contact his father. Dean and Alexa immediately get annoyed at her and themselves for not thinking of the idea. Alexa even attempts to chase Blanket out of the room in frustration.
Dean holds his phone in his hands as he contemplates calling his father. He also constantly reveals his anxiety levels to Alexa, so she offers to ring his father for him. At the last second she tosses him his phone, which he appears annoyed at. He then walks off to talk to his father as the two discuss the recent holidays. As Alexa constantly reminds him to mention his half sister to his father, Dean simply stalls and offers to have a meal with his father the following day. Alexa throws a cushion at him in response, however he dodges it. Meanwhile on the phone his father reveals that he was currently in New York, however he offers to buy both Dean and Alexa plane tickets for them to see him. He accepts the offer, which makes Alexa annoyed once more. She proceeds to throw another cushion at him, however this time he catches it with a smile.
The following day, Dean and Alexa enter a New York cafe when Dean asks Alexa about her opinion on his current outfit. Alexa attempts to calm him down as they find Dean's father rather quickly. They then sit down at a table, and as Robert offers to buy the pair's food for them, they quickly go straight into the discussion about Dean's half sister. The discussion turns heated when Robert dodges the questions and begins to insult Dean's mother and their marriage. Alexa attempts to get more answers out of him, however Dean accepts defeat and offers to leave with Alexa. Robert interrupts them in an angry manner and finally confesses that he didn't actually know the identity of his half sister. He later offers them the name of the mother and the hospital she would've given birth at on a piece of paper so that they could retrieve the information that way. As Dean and Alexa get up to leave, Robert offers to come with them to Philadelphia, however Dean declines the invitation by insulting him. They end up leaving him as he stares at them seemingly in defeat.
At the hospital, Dean and Alexa beg one of the receptionists to retrieve the information about his half sister, however she refuses to do it without reasonable grounds. The two desperately plead, but despite this the receptionist refuses to budge. Suddenly Robert enters the room and approaches the reception desk immediately; confessing his identity. Dean and Alexa appear startled at sight but go along with him anyway. Before long, the receptionist manages to pull up Dean's birth records, however Robert's other birth information appears to be encrypted. The receptionist quickly reveals that it could be due to a variety of reasons, including the patient having a criminal record. She then asks them to take a seat nearby as she works to sort out the information. Dean almost accepts defeat about the whole thing, and both Alexa and Robert comfort him. Not long later, the receptionist pulls them back and reveals to them that she got ahold of a government organisation that will provide them personal information about the birth in the next couple of days. As Dean refuses to accept this at first, Alexa and Robert manage to convince him to go through with it anyway.
A few days later, Dean appears to stare at his phone anticipating a text message from the government. As Alexa joins him, he reveals that he believed that the government forgot about him before he finally receives a text message. As Alexa pulls out her phone to film his reaction, Dean slowly opens the text message to finally reveal the identity of his half sister to be a young woman named Katherine Phelps. Based on the information in the text, Dean also finds out that she only lived around an hour away from Burbank and offers to take a road trip with Alexa. She then encourages him to give Katherine a ring. He hesitates a little and Alexa threatens to throw another cushion at him before he finally gets the courage to ring Katherine's number. When Katherine answers, he immediately asks for her and reveals his identity as her brother. The screen then fades to black and the words TO BE CONTINUED is displayed across the screen.
