Daria entered the living room to see Alex snorting something up his nose.

"Alex what are you doing?" Daria asked worried.

Alex rolled his eyes.

"Don't fucking start" Alex said. "At least I'm not drinking right."

Daria stared at Alex.

"This isn't you" Daria said.

"I don't care" Alex said. "You can judge me all you want but I'm done living my life sheltered! I'm going to live it how I want. If I wanna snort or drink I'm going to do it. End of story."

A knock at the door.

"I'm going to shower" Daria said. "No more getting high or drinking today? We have to show up to the fundraiser tonight."

Daria walked off and Alex opened the door to see Noah.

"What do you want?" Alex asked rudely.

Noah handed him a flier for a program to help him get clean.

"What the hell is this?" Alex asked.

"I just think you have a problem" Noah told Alex. "You need to get help."

"And why would I listen to you?" Alex snapped. "After all you broke my heart too."

"Alex" Noah said. "I still care about you."

Alex rolled his eyes.

"Maybe I don't want help" Alex said.

"You lost your job because of your drinking problem" Noah said.

"No I lost it because that bitch Jude" Alex snapped.

"That's another thing" Noah said. "You and him use to be best friends. How can you just turn your back on him?"

"Best friends don't break up marriages" Alex sneered. "Thanks for nothing jackass."

Alex slammed the door in Noah's face and he sat down looking at the pamphlet but ripped it up.


At the fundraiser, Jude stood with Connor.

"You look very handsome tonight" Jude told Connor.

"I know I do" Connor smiled.

Taylor joined them along with Ethan. 

"Where's Stacy?" Connor asked Ethan.

"She's with Leo" Ethan said. "They'll be on their way soon. Don't worry."

They then witnessed Alex enter with Daria.

"Look who just walked in" Taylor said. "My pissed off wife."

"Talk to her" Jude told Taylor. "I mean it's stupid that she's pissed at you for doing the right thing."

"She thinks I 'betrayed' Alex" Taylor said.

"You kinda did" Jake said joining them.

Taylor rolled her eyes. Alex and Daria walked up to the group.

"Hello guys" Jake greeted.

"Hey Jake" Alex smiled. "You look good."

Jake blushed.

"Well thank you."


Leo gets ready and Stacy sees a camera.

"What's that camera for?" Stacy asked.

"it's to film Callum acting adorable" Leo said. "Craig bought it for him.."
