The girls’ plan to take acid and go to the waterpark goes awry when they realize Shelby took their only car to her new job. Torn between being a good friend and a good student, Shelby must decide what’s more important.

While buying books for her GED classes, Shelby comes across a feminist book that makes her realize the girls have been objectified by men their entire lives. Meanwhile, Jayla starts working at Barnacles and turns the bar into a borderline strip club.
