Quinn sighs. "So what do you think?"

Marcy holds up her board. You're a terrible human being.

Quinn scoffs in hurt. "How?!"

Marcy makes a bulletpoint list. •You cheat on Finn
•You get pregnant and hide it
•You ignore Puck
•You pin it on Finn and stress him out
•You refuse to tell Finn the truth until it blows up in your face
•You treat Puck like dirt, even though he's trying to be good to you
•You give away your child
•You ignore him again

Quinn's mouth falls open. "I was fifteen! I was a kid! I didn't know what I was doing and you know I was going through something!"

Marcy taps her shoulder before giving her the board. •You pretend your sophomore year never happened
•You play with Sam because you want to show everyone you were more than your "mistake"
•You then CHEAT on Sam
•You drag it out and lie like a rug to him
•After you break up, you go back to Finn
•You ignore Sam until you find out he's homeless but you never apologize
•You try to proposition him to get the child you didn't want back
•Then you ignore him again

"How do you know I wanted him to help me get Beth back?" Quinn takes a break from crying to ask.

Marcy erases the board then writes, He told Mercy, who told me you and him told her.
•During this time, you ask Puck to impregnate you so you can have another child - and yes, he told Mercy, who told me.

Quinn hasn't heard it laid out like that since Mike read her the riot act two years ago and even then it's heavier. "That's not fair."

What's not fair is you using these men because of your own feelings and insecurities. You really loved Finn and look how you treated him. I'd never trust your love.

Quinn cries.

Stop crying! Take some responsibility for your actions and some action over your life. You say it's the past but you keep making terrible decisions. I know I'm fucked but I'm a lost cause.

"You're not a lost cause. Why would you say that?"

Don't ignore what I just wrote.

Quinn pouts. "What am I supposed to do?"

Apologize
•Mean it
•Do different shit

Quinn nods and sniffles. "Okay."

Marcy draws a heart.

"I love you, too." Quinn hugs her.

Too? Marcy mouths.

MJ

Quinn pulls Puck into a closet.

"Okay..." Puck is confused as she switches on the light-switch.

"We have to talk."

"In a closet...?"

"I don't want to be interrupted and it's very private."

"Are you gon yell at me?"

"Puck, no."

"Are you coming on to me?"

"Why are you making this so hard?" She demands.

"Okay, alright. What do you want to talk about?"

"Us." He opens his mouth but she puts up a hand. "I was going through something when I accepted your flirtation. I felt bad about myself and my mind was working against me. I felt I couldn't talk to my family and I kept it all bottled up."
