Fate has a way of catching up with those who try to outrun it.

Art imitates life as the East Highland crew watches their complicated dynamics play out onstage.

Rue and Jules cross paths for the first time since Christmas as East Highland rings in the new year.

Rue, trying to get clean for Jules, chaperones Gia at the carnival. Jules encounters Cal with his family.

As the show goes on, fragments of memories collide with the present and future.

Rue pursues a new business venture, Cassie settles into a routine, and Cal finds a target.

It's the winter formal at East Highland.

Rue makes a deal with the devil in the form of a promise to Alamo...and gives a word of warning to Maddy. Later, Cassie gets her first real taste of stardom on the set of LA Nights, and Rue paints Jules a picture of her ideal future.

She would never say it out loud, but Nate going broke finally granted Cassie permission to follow her dreams.

A few years after high school, Rue's debts finally catch up with her. Hoping to finance her dream wedding, Cassie tries to become internet famous – to the disapproval of Nate, who's juggling the demands of running Cal's business.

Maddy arrived in the city with no money, a suitcase full of clothes, and a plan.

Rue is offered a risky deal that draws her deeper into Alamo's world. While Nate battles the city council, Maddy gives Cassie a mission that could skyrocket her new career, and Lexi enlists Jules to create an original painting for LA Nights.

While in art school, Jules learns she can fund her dreams by going on dates with rich men. Having worked her way up in Alamo's organization, Rue is sent on a special mission with Bishop. Meanwhile, Cassie's storybook wedding doesn't go as planned.

Danger closes in on all sides as Rue's double-dealing finally reaches its breaking point. While the medical van speeds towards the border, Maddy and Cassie must band together – and Alamo is struck by a life-changing epiphany.
