While Mr. Porter tries to talk with Clay in his office, Justin, Jessica, Alex, Courtney, Zach, & Alex have a meeting in the gym to figure out how to deal with Clay.

Justin Foley: He's out of his fucking mind.

Courtney Crimsen: We played by Hannah's rules. It's not fair if the tapes get out there because Clay went postal.

Zach Dempsey: He's not gonna go public.

Jessica Davis: It feels like he might.

Alex Standall: He's just sad, okay? Let him be...

Alex groans as he's still feeling the pain from his fight with Monty from last week.

Jessica Davis: Are you getting your stomach things again, Alex? Come sit down a minute.

Justin Foley: What stomach things?

Alex Standall: He loved her, and she tried to kill herself. Okay? He's sad & going crazy. Just give him a second.

Courtney Crimsen: He's not sad, okay? He's getting revenge.

Alex Standall: It's not like we don't deserve it.

Alex's stomach start hurting again.

Jessica Davis: Alex, come sit down.

Alex takes a seat next to Jessica as Marcus arrives to the gym.

Justin Foley: Dude, you're late.

Marcus Cole: I talked to Tony. He says he'll take care of it.

Courtney Crimsen: What does that even mean exactly?

Justin Foley: Tony's a dick.

Zach Dempsey: He's not a dick.

Justin Foley: He's a dick, he's a prick, and he's a cock.

Zach Dempsey: Okay, those are the same things.

Justin Foley: No, they're nuances of meaning.

Zach Dempsey: Right. Yeah.

Justin Foley: Look, Tony's not gonna do shit. We have to take care of this. End that little bastard once and for all.

Jessica Davis: That's insane.

Justin Foley: I don't know. What if we make it look like a suicide?

The others scoff at Justin in disagreement.

Justin Foley: How tragic is that? I mean, 2 star-crossed lovers or some shit like that. He doesn't think Hannah will wake up, so he tries to join her.

Zach Dempsey: Grow up, Justin.

Justin Foley: Are you really telling me to grow up, Little Mama's Boy?

Zach Dempsey: Yeah, I am.

Alex groans once more as he holds on to his stomach.

Justin Foley: Dude, go see a fuckin' doctor.

Alex Standall: I've seen a dozen doctors, dude.

Zach Dempsey: One thing. If one thing had gone differently somewhere along the line... maybe none of this would have happened.

Meanwhile, Clay had finished talking to Mr. Porter as he decides to just leave school. He runs into Tony outside as he convinces Clay to come with him. Clay enters Tony's Mustang and he takes him for a drive.
