After hearing how his father deceived him by going behind his back and conspiring with EJ (Daniel Feuerriegel), Theo (Tyler Joseph Andrews) is furious and needs to take out his frustrations somewhere. It's been quite a shocking day with blow after blow. First, he learned that his beloved grandfather was responsible for his cancer, which was hard enough. Now, he knows his dad kept another secret from him.

Stephanie (Abigail Klein) is just as distraught as Theo. She made a big mistake when she deleted those messages from Joy (AlexAnn Hopkins) and it came back to bite her in a big way. Joy was in a car accident and she and Kelsey could have been killed. Alex (Robert Scott Wilson) is furious and Stephanie is a hot mess.

Stephanie also knows that Alex is more concerned about Kelsey now than he is about her. He comes through for Joy and Kelsey on Wednesday, leaving Stephanie out in the cold.

So, Theo and Stephanie decide to take it out on the bottle and drown their sorrows at Small Bar together. They commiserate and lament their sad lives, but will one thing lead to another or is Theo just sleeping it off when Alex finds him sleeping on the couch?
