Classmates pressure Yvette, warning she offended the Stevens family and that Zack and especially Ethan will retaliate. Yvette refuses to beg and says she can just quit school and go home. The teacher suggests making her drop out and the class cheers. The episode ends with Yvette's choice to leave hanging against the looming family consequences.
