At school dismissal Ms. Snow frantically asks teacher Ms. Lear where her son Luke is. Other parents assume she's Tate's mother; Ms. Snow confesses she is actually Luke's mom and that she'd earlier pretended to be Tate's mom to protect the single-parent child. Ms. Lear rebukes her, noting classmates mocked Tate and believed Luke's mother had died. Ms. Snow pleads to see Luke and promises to make it up, but Ms. Lear reveals Luke's father already pulled him out of school, leaving her shut out and the consequences unresolved.
