Jack confronts Ava, who denies any part in the charges against Sean, telling them she wasn't anywhere near the prom. "Sean's a liar," she says, trying to convince Jack that Sean is trying to pin the crime on her because he is heartbroken over losing her! Ava tells Jack about Sean living at Colby's for a while but Jack doesn't care. Ava changes her tact, reminding Jack that she doesn't know anyone in Pine Valley and asking how she could have found a drug dealer. Jack doesn't believe her for a second. Ava tells them that Sean is using her past against her and begins naming all of Sean's crimes. Jack steps in, telling Ava that no amount of connections will save Sean. Angry, she asks for any proof that she was involved with the drugs. Sean swears that no one besides Ava had access to his jacket but she says that doesn't prove anything. Jack gives in, realizing that all they have are suspicions. He makes both of them swear not to tell Lily what happened. Just then, Lily comes home talking about the "bad man" at the boathouse. Without thinking, Ava says, "Did he hurt you? I'll kill him!" Jack asks Lily to tell him exactly what happened and she does. Ava speaks up, admitting that the drug dealer knows her - not Lily or Jonathan! Jonathan leaves. Ava tries to backpedal, saying the drug dealer was only hitting on her and not admitting to buying the drugs. Jack can't believe her explanations and tells her it's over. When Ava suggests she leave immediately, Jack won't have it. He wants Ava to explain why she is leaving to Lily before she goes anywhere.
Alone with Lily, Ava makes up a story about a new job and a new life waiting for her. Telling Lily that she has to move, Ava tries to hold back her tears. "It's the right thing to do," she says when Lily tells her not to go. Unable to hold back her tears, Ava begins to cry for real, apologizing for leaving her sister and thanking her for believing in her. Lily offers to help her move in but Ava tells her that she has to finish a few things up first. Turning away, Ava leaves. She blows Lily a kiss from the door. "Bye, Ava," Lily says after Ava is gone. Sean comes in and Lily starts talking about Ava and her "exciting" new life.
With nowhere to go, Ava heads to the boathouse. She tosses her backpack in a corner and sits down, alone, on the steps.
At the Montgomery home, Ava is admiring a new pair of shoes she bought with Jonathan's money when Sean comes home. He asks her for a little more action - the kind that got him in trouble! Ava pretends not to know what he is talking about. He comes right out and asks her for more drugs! "I want to do it again, with you," he says, asking for her source. Lily walks in the room, freaking out. They think it's because they are so close on the couch but that isn't the reason - she is afraid Ava's nail polish will tip over and stain the carpeting! Sean helps her clean up and Ava goes to answer the door. It's Jonathan! She is disappointed to learn that he is there to see Lily. Lily comes out of the house and hands Jonathan a box of mementos from their wedding. She tells him that she doesn't want to remember but since he apparently does, he should have the things. Jonathan isn't sure what to think. He holds the box as Lily tells him that he can be happy again. With tears in his eyes, he leaves!
Ava returns to Sean who asks again for some happy pills. She pulls away, telling him to leave her alone! Ava tells him that that he deserves his troubles but she has nothing to do with them! She tells him that he is no investigator. Just then, Lily returns from her talk with Jonathan, offering to help them both become investigators so they can find out how to clear Sean. She asks if Sean has any new suspects and he doesn't let on that he suspects Ava. Sean leaves. Lily tells Ava about giving Jonathan the box of wedding things but is upset because giving him those things hasn't blanked out her memories. "I don't want to remember those feelings," she says, hoping that her memory will be clear of Jonathan before much longer.
Jack arrives home and Sean tells him all the details of prom night and his suspicions about Ava and her involvement in the plan. He wonders why Ava would do that and Sean tells him about Colby. He calls for Ava who plays innocent for a moment.
Upstairs, Ava barges in on Lily who is going through some old wedding memorabilia. Lily wonders if she and Jonathan can have an amicable divorce - like Jack and Erica's! She talks about Jonathan, wondering how he could understand he so well when so many other people don't understand her at all. Ava joins in, wondering why Jonathan is on her side one minute and against her the next. Lily tells Ava that she and Jonathan just aren't a good match! She surprises Ava by telling her what really happened with their marriage. "Jonathan's big and only lie was pretending to be not normal?" Ava asks, not understanding at all. As Lily continues talking, she realizes just how much Jonathan must have loved her sister. Lily remembers when Jonathan took her to New York and how well they worked together. "When I was married to Jonathan I felt safe and happy and not alone," Lily says, wondering if she will every find someone to love her again. Ava asks how Lily would feel if Jonathan moved on with someone else and Lily isn't sure. Sean comes in and informs them that Jack invited her back to the house after springing him from jail. Lily is intrigued by the happenings and glad to see him home. Sean tells both girls that he took the fall for everything to protect Colby. This news annoys Ava. She receives a text message and leaves. Sean tells Lily that someone set him up and she is eager to find the culprit.
Outside Ava meets with Jonathan. He hands her an envelope filled with money and says there are no strings attached. Ava isn't sure what to think about Jonathan's about-face. He swears he doesn't have any ulterior motives but Ava doesn't believe him. She thinks he will come back to her to collect on the loan. She takes the money and goes back inside.
Back upstairs, Sean tries to figure out how the drugs got into his pocket. He wonders if whoever rented the tux before him left the drugs but Lily doesn't believe that. She asks when he picked up the tux and if anyone else was around when he was getting dressed. He remembers Ava being there. Just then, Ava returns!
