At the camp:
Susan told Lizzie and Marina that she believes Holly has kidnapped them. The two girls said that they knew Holly and that Holly wouldn't do that. Lizzie and Marina said that Susan was just acting like that because she was jealous of their knowing Holly longer. Susan denied it and told them that she had overheard Holly tell Ken that she had gotten huge doses of sedatives in case she needed to give them to the children. After awhile Lizzie and Marina believed Susan and they along with the other 5 kids devised an escape plan based on something Susan had saw on a movie. During the play that the kids were putting on for Holly and Ken the television was on behind the adults, we the viewer could see the parents on it, but Holly and Ken missed it.

At Reva's:

Reva, as the leader, says that she knows that they all have been bad parents but that they want another chance and they want Holly to help them be better parents.

Ross, also upset cannot get all the info out to the detectives, so Ben steps in and helps as much as he can. Ross seems to appreciate the help. When the mothers come on WSPR, the dad's are all watching. At first they are upset, but as they start listening to them they know that they are doing the best they know to do.
