Back at the hospital, Damian and Lily go in to see Noah. They tell him they want to adopt him. Noah refuses. He doesn't want anything from Damian and orders them to get out. When Noah tries to chase them out, he falls into Luke's arms. He refuses to leave him.
Liberty goes into Yo's with her fake ID and tries to order a drink. The bartender tells 'jailbait' to get lost. He threatens to call the police when Dusty walks in and says that she's with him. He offers to take her home. She complains about the essay she's supposed to write and how she has nothing to write about. He suggests she write about losing Brad and how it has changed her.
Dusty brings Liberty home and she confesses what just happened at the bar to her mother. Janet doesn't even know what to say. Liberty goes up to her room and Janet tells Dusty that her life is 'broken'. Brad is gone, Liberty's baby is dead and Jack is missing. He gives her a hug and offers to help. She tells him that she's used to taking care of herself and thanks him for helping Liberty. When he leaves, she goes inside and finds Liberty at work on her essay. When she's done, she reads it to her mother. It's all about everything she lost over the summer and how college gives her hope. Janet weeps and hugs her. Janet is proud.
Parker goes to the farm house to see Liberty. She's not doing anything; she doesn't see the point. After she goes on a tirade about how awful life is, he reminds her that she's not the only one who lost Brad and tells her that he won't let her throw her life away. Janet returns. Liberty blows up and runs off to her room. Parker reminds Janet that the due dates for college applications are in a few days. He asks her if she is going to go looking for his dad. She says he's not ready to come home. Janet goes upstairs to see her daughter and get a hug.
Liberty tells her mother that she doesn't know if she can face anymore people. Parker offers to be there for her.
At home, Katie gives Liberty some of Brad's things and tells her how amazed her father was by her. "You can do anything you set your mind to just like he did," she says. When she begins attacking Jack, Margo steps in and defends him. "You wouldn't say that if you knew everything," Liberty says. Parker takes her home and then Margo leaves her sister alone. As she looks over photos and weeps, Brad walks through the wall. "Honey, I'm home," he says.
At home, Janet tells Liberty that Jack is off limits. She thinks Parker deserves to know the whole truth and tells him that his father was drinking. Parker refuses to believe it and walks out. Liberty tells her mother that this isn't fair. Janet knows, but the only thing that can be done is grieving.
Janet finds Jack on the porch staring at a photo of his brother, he's been trying to write something for the service. When he stands up, she notices he's been drinking and reminds him about what happened last time he was drinking. She apologizes. He tells her he's just looking for the right way to say goodbye. Liberty overhears them. "Oh my God! The night my dad got shot you were drunk?" she says. Janet defends Jack. "May dad's dead. Have another beer," Liberty says, storming out. Holden arrives and sits with Jack and encourages him to simply speak from his heart today.
Liberty and her mother arrive at the church. She doesn't want to go in and deal with all of the sympathetic eyes. Janet tells her funerals make things more real. That's exactly what Liberty doesn't want. She agrees to go in... but she won't sit with Jack.
Henry and Maddie arrive at the church but keep their distance from everyone else as they arrive. Janet worries that Jack hasn't shown up yet. She tries calling him but there's no answer. She says they can't start without Jack but Liberty tells her mother that they can't force Katie to keep waiting like this. As the funeral starts, Craig goes up to speak, although Margo tries to stop him. He says that Brad hated his guts, but he loved his sister more than life. He'll always be inspired by Brad's generosity and will make sure his son knows what kind of man he was. Janet goes up next and talks about when she first met Brad and what a good man he grew into. Liberty joins her and talks about how much she loves her dad and will miss him. When Katie goes up, she says that Brad was wonderful. Since he died, she's been trying to figure out what he wanted to name their son. She found the answer in his notebook from sixth grade. In tears, she reads a report he wrote as a little boy, "My Hero: Jack Snyder." Jack watches from the back of the church and cries. Katie says she doesn't blame Jack at all. "Our son's name is Jacob. Jacob Bradley Snyder. After two of the best men I've ever known," she says. Jack walks out in tears.
