In the meantime, at home, her daughter Hazel gets bullied in school after being told about her grandfather's existence and commits shoplifting.

Throughout the episode, Melissa opens up about her traumatic history and accepts her father's legacy. Keith, on the other hand, basks in the limelight from prison, posting news clippings of his crimes on his cell wall.
