Plot Details[]
Throughout, this episode Alicia does her best to hide her true emotions towards her current family situation and this makes her appear cold and unfeeling towards her mother, brother and Travis. That isn't the whole story though.
We first see Alicia getting ready for school but the family receives a call regarding Nick being in hospital. Alicia come out of the bathroom before she's finished to listen to the call but otherwise appears to be uninterested. When they all visit Nick in hospital she seems to be in a rush to get out of the hospital and just go to school. We then see Alicia again with her boyfriend Matt engaging in a conversation. Later she is seen in the hospital once again but this time we see a sympathetic, but still somewhat distant version of her towards her brother. As she spoon feeds him some jelly, they share a short moment where he promises her he will get better. Alicia does not believe him, though she obviously wants to.
Later we see yet another interaction with her boyfriend as she repeats how much she wishes to leave, wanting to go off to college to get away from the drama in her families life. Matt proceeds to pitch date ideas to her to cheer her up as he drawn on her arm. She cheers up with his encouragement and they arrange to meet at the beach to watch the sunset and then spend the evening together.
Later we see Alicia waiting for Matt at Venice Beach but he doesn't show. She is left confused and angry. When back at school the next day, she views leaked online footage with her friends of an infected person attacking paramedics, but she believes it to be a prank. She has trouble believing that something so far fetched could be real. Texting Matt once again she shows worry at not having seen him since the day before. That is when her mother shows up and tells Alicia to go home, to wait for Nick in case he returns home.
