Mimi tells her friends to leave, she doesn't want them to see her like this. She takes off, and Belle goes to talk to her mother who tells them that everything was fine until her husband was laid off of work. They haven't heard from her father in days, and now little Conner is sick. Belle wants her to go to the free clinic, but Maureen said Mimi wants to keep what's going on a secret. Chloe understands how Mimi is feeling, and shows a rare burst of caring when she suggests they make helping the Lockharts their summer project.
