Brooke continues to struggle and hide the truth of her attack, which strains all of her friendships. Carrie modifies her plan to make it look like Dan killed someone in order to kidnap Jamie. While going through Q's things in the locker room, Jamie asks if he can keep Q's old jersey. Peyton, Lucas and Skills meet Q's grief-stricken family where Jamie bonds with Q's brother, Andre, gifting him Q's jersey.

Dan stumbles upon the grave of Carrie's son while unsuccessfully trying escape from Carrie's house. Haley has her class write down how they feel about Q's death in an attempt to help the students heal. Haley also signs Q's desk with a quote from "Les Mis", the first book she had him read for extra credit, and encourages the other students to write kind words on his desk to process their grief. Jamie tells Haley he wants to go to Q's funeral to say goodbye; he later lays Q's finished cape on his coffin.
