Judge St. Nick saw over this battle and granted Marcella Boone temporary custody of April while May and Tom work out their differences and try to save their marriage before they make any drastic decisions. April and Theo get closer aka kind of more than friends.

Theo and Ike make it to the frat party and go in to look for April. Theo finds April behind the stage. He walks over to her and asks her if she's alright. Ike finds them over by the stage and says that they need to get out of the party. They quickly rush to the back door. They stop and April refuses to leave but then Theo convinces Theo that her father is a bad man and has lied to her. They leave and get out of Chapel Hill. Theodore calls his parents and tell them that he has found April and is bringing her home. They were mad at him at first and then they were overjoyed.
