Lacy ties up Mandy and Parker in chairs, pours gasoline on them, and threatens to light a lighter while complaining about life being unfair. The school finds the drugs, and Parker gets in trouble with the principal. To get back at Mandy and Parker, Lacy buys drugs and hides them in Parker’s backpack. A fight happens, and Lacy accidentally kills Bill with an iron. He tells her about Mandy’s doubts regarding Nicole’s test scores and asks for more money. Lacy sets up a meeting with Bill, bringing money and a tool to tenderize meat. Now, Mandy fully understands Lacy’s intentions, but Lacy is still unaware that Mandy knows the truth. Later, Mandy meets with Bill who makes a disturbing proposition to improve her daughter’s scores. Parker calls her mom and shares the perfect score news, raising suspicions. She’s embarrassed when the principal announces the scores at school. But Nicole doesn’t want to celebrate because she feels she didn’t earn it. Nicole gets a 98% on the CTE scores, and Lacy is super excited for her. He later uses the picture to get what he wants from Lacy. He calls Bill to check it out, and he takes a picture of Lacy taking the test as leverage. The test proctor is confused but allows her to take the test anyway. Since Nicole is unable to take the test, Lacy disguises herself as a teenager and pretends to be her daughter. Mandy is surprised by Lacy’s impolite behavior. Mandy drives Nicole back home, and Lacy accuses Parker of deliberately getting Nicole drunk. The next morning, Nicole wakes up feeling sick after partying at Parker’s house. Parker advises Nicole to enjoy herself and not stress about their moms’ actions. At the party, she talks to Parker and shares her frustrations about her mom. The night before the test, Nicole secretly leaves her house and goes to a party. But she has no intention of actually doing so. Lacy doesn’t have much money, but she persuades Bill to help more by implying she might sleep with him. They propose that Nicole should retake a test, and maybe a donation of $10,000 could be a good idea.

Lacy meets with Bill Yellen to assist her daughter in getting into Whittendale. Then, she rehearses her 911 call before actually making it. In a shocking turn, Lacy suffocates and kills him when he outright refuses. Lacy asks her dad to speak to the school on Nicole’s behalf, but he disagrees, believing she should earn the spot herself.
