## Plot

Georgia narrates how women live in a man’s world. Therefore, women will always be moving forward from a backward step. She wonders how one climbs the ladders of a rigged system, and she has one solution which is to adapt.

Later, Paul and Georgia take a family picture and have Ginny and Austin take part in it as well.The two continue to prepare for the election campaign’s final days. They are now promoting their engagement.

Meanwhile, the private investigator shows up, which makes Georgia zone out. The polls are open, but Georgia is already planning the celebrations.

Cynthia turns up and wants to talk to Nick and Paul. She tries accusing Georgia of embezzlement, but Nick says that the books are balanced. Georgia acts innocently and states she only goes to the bank like everyone else. Cynthia looks crazy in front of everyone else. Paul apologizes to her for what happened. Nick approaches Georgia privately and tells her that the exact amount to balance the books was only deposited that morning, and knows something is wrong.

At school the next day, Maxine and the others ignore Ginny. They know about her and Marcus. She tries to talk to Maxine in class, but she continues to ignore her. The teacher talks about the “N” word and says it can be an upsetting word and ends it with “right, Ginny?”. Overwhelmed by Maxine ignoring her and the teacher’s insensitive and quite racist discussion on the “N” word, Ginny heads into the bathroom, where she jumps into Bracia. They relate over the English teacher and believe he is the guy from Get Out. Bracia talks about how she can’t modify the same way Ginny can due to her darker skin color.

At work, Ginny asks Samantha if she’s heard any rumors. Hunter then walks in and tells her he doesn’t want them to both end their relationship and says, “I love you”. Ginny is in complete shock, and Joe has to remind her that she’s working. She’s not okay, so Joe pulls her aside — Ginny explains that in 24 hours, two different boys have told me they love her, but she only wants to be with Marcus.

Before Ginny heads out, Joe notices her handling a pair of super rare Ray-Bans. Ginny explains how her mother was given these glasses when she was younger, and it changed her life.

In a turn of events, it turns out Joe was the boy that gave them to her mother when they were younger.

In the present, Joe remembers it was him, and he’s surprised she kept them and believes it means something. Ginny doesn’t catch onto what he means though.

At Joe’s cafe, Georgia walks in, and Joe is very nervous around her after what he has just learned. He wants to tell her something, but Ellen walks in and asks Georgia to show her the engagement ring. Joe congratulates her on the ring and walks off, upset.

At a school play event, Ginny approaches Maxine backstage, and she reveals that she knows that she had sex with her brother before walking on to the stage. Between going backstage and acting on stage, Maxine keeps venting at Ginny. Ginny tells her she is her best friend, and she didn’t know what to do because she loves her.

After one of the acts in the play, Maxine wants to talk in the hallway. Ginny apologizes and tells her she didn’t want to screw up. Abby and Norah come into the hallway and try and calm the situation down. Ginny then mistakenly accuses Abby of telling Maxine about her and Marcus, which makes it worse. Maxine explains how she’s sick of everyone hurting her. And then it gets worse; Hunter arrives in the hallway, and Abby tells him that Ginny cheated on him with Marcus.

Marcus also shows up, and he says it was a mistake. Hunter walks off and says he was great to her. He punches Hunter before he leaves. Maxine goes back for the second act and tells Ginny and Abby to stay away from her. Ginny has lost everything; from having a secure group of friends that she considers to be family to nothing.

With a teary-eyed Ginny left in the corridor, she asks Marcus what he meant by “a mistake”. Marcus says he thought it was the right thing to say. Ginny tells Marcus that Padma was right because he’s only going to hurt her in the end.

Maxine confronts her brother afterward. Marcus tells Max that she doesn’t understand what Ginny is dealing with and that she's a better friend than she realizes. He calls Max an entitled brat, and how she has no boundaries. Ellen walks into the room and asks what’s happened. Max explains that it’s “the biggest betrayal since Jordyn and Kylie” and that Marcus and Ginny had sex.

Ellen heads over to Georgia’s house and tells her she quits being a mother. They drink wine together. Ellen tells Georgia that her son has been sleeping with her daughter. Georgia states he knew as Marcus climbed through her window a few days ago. Ellen is annoyed that she wasn’t told and leaves, calling her a “bad mom”.

Georgia speaks to Ginny about having sex with Marcus. Ginny makes a sly comment saying her mother goes through men faster than Taylor Swift, but then she admits it’s all her fault. Georgia doesn’t understand why the two of them were sneaking around. Ginny then lists how she’s “awful, a bittch and a liar”, but she asks who she learned it from. Ginny brings up Zion, and then reveals to her mother that she sent the letters from Austin to his father.

Georgia asks if she put a return address on and explains the reason she doesn’t tell her anything is because she doesn’t know who her daughter is anymore. Ginny tells her she’s her mother.

The next day, Ginny goes into school, she’s walking with purpose, and she sees the English teacher. She asks what his problem is because she has the highest grade in the class, and he always targets her. She accuses him of being racist. The English teacher states how he is not a racist and actually voted for Obama twice. Ginny threatens to go to the school board unless he gives her a glowing college recommendation letter because she claims she’s now taking control.

At school during lunchtime, Ginny has no-one to sit with. She joins Bracia’s table. She listens to Bracia’s friends talk, but she feels out of place.

At work, Ginny bumps into the private investigator who wants to talk to her about Georgia, but he refers to her as Mary Atkins. He tells her that he thinks her mother is dangerous and murdered Kenny. The PI brings up how in New Orleans, Georgia temporarily lost custody of Ginny while running an underground poker ring. He then shows her the wolfsbane plant and how it’s extremely poisonous and causes heart attacks.

Ginny remembers seeing her mother making a smoothie and putting petals inside it for her deceased husband, but she also remembers Kenny inappropriately touching her up. She also remembers seeing Kenny’s ashes in her house. The PI tells Ginny that she is not the same as her mother and wonders if there’s anything she wants to tell him. Ginny readjusts, smiles, and tells the PI that he’s mistaken and that her mother loved Kenny.

Ginny returns home, and Georgia is excited that they are a family and that they are about to win an election. Ginny runs through memories in her head; the poisonous flower, the guns, her mother slapping her. When she goes upstairs, Ginny puts on her mother’s motorbike leather jacket and packs her bags. She also notices that Kenny’s ashes are gone. When she heads outside, she sees Marcus, as she’s getting ready to leave town.

Marcus tells her it wasn’t a mistake. Ginny tells him he’s forgiven and that they can talk about it later. Marcus can tell something is off but lets her go anyway. She grabs the poisonous plant and torches it with Austin. Ginny tells Austin that they need to leave the town.

At the Mayoral election, Paul is re-elected. The private investigator stands next to Georgia. She tells him that Kenny is looking down on her right now. The PI asks where the body is, but then the fireworks go off. Georgia hints that Kenny’s ashes were put in the fireworks, before walking off.

Georgia then narrates that is starting to feel like Ginny is turning into her, and it’s scary. But she says there’s a big difference because she started life way behind her daughter. The PI gets a call and learns Georgia was married before Kenny to a man named Anthony Greene and that he’s a missing person.

Meanwhile, Ginny is on the road with Austin. Georgia narrates that her daughter will never have to live in fear as she did. However, Ginny believes that she has to keep running.
