The judge presiding over Rebecca's attempted murder case rejects her guilty plea, but sentences Rebecca to six weeks in jail while she awaits a new hearing. In jail, Rebecca attempts to atone for all of her wrongdoings by directing her fellow inmates' theatre class, which they don’t take kindly to, especially once they discover that Rebecca is there voluntarily. Meanwhile, Heather and Hector try to convince Josh that he doesn’t have a disorder and Nathaniel goes on a solo survivalist camping experience, only to be comforted by George. Paula gets Trent to confess, therefore nullifying the state's case against Rebecca. Paula, Valencia, and Heather deliver the news to Rebecca, but she still wants to stay in jail until Heather and Valencia call Rebecca out on her privilege and her idea that her being in jail is helping anybody. Josh begins therapy sessions with Dr. Davit Akopian. Hearing the news that Rebecca has been released from jail, Nathaniel invites her on a trip to Hawaii, but Rebecca declines in favor of helping the other inmates with legal advice. Nathaniel calls Rebecca selfish and Rebecca asks him to leave. A brief flashback shows Paula waking up Trent.
