Denise tells Abby that methamphetamines were found in her drug test, explaining her recent poor performance at work. Abby pleads her innocence, but Denise fires her.

Devastated, Abby returns home and tells Sam what happened. Sam states that a methamphetamine addiction would explain her increasing agitation and paranoid behavior. He is unconvinced by Abby’s assertion that she is innocent.

Sam returns home late from work smelling of alcohol and Monica’s distinctive lavender perfume. After searching Abby’s drawers, he confronts her with a bag containing crystal meth. Abby begins to question if she could have a drug addiction without knowing it.

The next morning, Abby is confronted by Sam and Monica. Sam says that Monica has concerns over allowing Abby to adopt her child due to her drug dependency. Consequently, they want her to attend a drug rehabilitation program. Realizing how the drug could have gotten into her system, Abby accuses Monica of dosing her coffee at work. She points out that Monica could also have copied her keys and planted the methamphetamines in the apartment. Sam says that Abby is “embarrassing” herself and begs her to be honest.
