Finding Carter

Max is worried about his mother upon news of his abusive father's release from prison and Taylor accompanies him as he heads over for a visit with her. They are shocked to find out that his father is there with his mother and they appear to have reconciled. Max, however, is not convinced that his father has gone through any change and sets out to prove it. Meanwhile, Carter catches Ben dealing drugs at her and Jared's new legal rave establishment and confronts him over it. The night takes a deadly turn when Seth is found dead from a molly overdose. Jared drags his body off of the property to avoid any responsibility for the events, despite Carter's pleas to tell the cops the truth.

Everyone rallies around Bird in the aftermath of Seth's death, while Carter tries to get to the bottom of the whole situation. Carter tries to get evidence against Jared, but Lori and Elizabeth get involved. The two women stage an ordeal at the bar and are able to get Jared to confess, letting both Carter and Ben off the hook. Bird tells her friends that she's pregnant. At the end of the episode, Jared is shown watching Carter from the shadows, revealing that he has gotten out of prison.

David returns home to find his entire family in chaos. They find out that Jared has been let out of jail, as he is willing to turn in a list of people that were involved with Rick and the drug-dealing. The cops later show up to Lori's house to arrest Ben for his involvement. This leads Carter back to the bar to confront him one last time about going back on his word and their verbal tiff quickly turns physical. Carter hits her head on the counter and falls to the ground unconscious. Meanwhile, Bird has to make a decision about her surprise pregnancy.

Carter awakens in the bar to find Jared dead, with Lori looming over her. Taylor remains completely convinced that Lori is the real murderer as suspicions start pointing away from her. Meanwhile, David and Elizabeth are able to get custody of Ben after all.
