Sean is punished for lying about why he is in jail the others steal his food and he is forced to fetch the ball whenever Trevor plays ping pong with the others.Tired of Trevor, Sean crushes the ping pong ball and Trevor threatens to kill him. Sean then deliberately commits an offence by withholding some cutlery in order to be put in the isolation ward. To be released from the jail sooner, he reluctantly follows his lawyers advice to plead guilty for planning a school shooting, even though he had no such plans. He is indeed released, under the condition that he does not have any contact with Deanna or the hockey team members. He avoids his previous goth look, but the people still consider him weird and dangerous, with one of them vandalizing his car. ........
