Krystal asked Adam how he would protect Colby, but Adam said he had all the bases covered to make sure his daughter stayed out of jail.

Krystal pleaded with Adam to convince Colby to tell the truth. Adam said Krystal would not be giving the same advice if the situation applied to Babe.

Dre said too many people knew what happened to Richie. He said it was best if they went to the police, but Colby disagreed. Pete suggested they take a road trip to get their minds off the murder. Colby got annoyed with Pete and told him he should leave because no one wanted him around. Cassie said Pete hung around with them because he liked Colby, and secretly, Colby enjoyed the attention. Colby pulled Cassie aside and said she was not interested in Pete. Dre told Pete that Pete had no idea how to impress Colby, which is why she was so mean to him. Colby said she had a plan to keep them safe without Pete's help. Dre and Cassie agreed to go with Colby's plan.
