Gossip erupts that Yvette lied about her family's poverty, with classmates claiming her pricey items must be fake or stolen. Jewell amplifies the rumors and humiliates Yvette in class, even sabotaging her chair. Remembering a past life and fed up with being slandered, Yvette decides she won't endure this time; she tells Zack she won't stay at school and asks him to pick her up. School staff learn she's refusing to attend and order an inquiry to find who bullied her. The episode ends with the investigation launched and a usually indifferent figure oddly taking an interest, leaving motives unresolved.
