Students confront Elly after they learn she takes paid errands on campus, calling her a lackey and shaming her for accepting money. Keira tries to defend her, but Elly insists, "Supply and demand. They pay. I deliver." The argument escalates as classmates call her materialistic. Later she finds missing orders and unpaid work — "No drink and no runner's fee. I'm out at least $500." A student eventually hands her cash saying, "Your fee," then accuses her of insulting him. A returned payment and public accusation leave Elly's income and standing in limbo.
