A Change of Heart
This episode pushes Joel and Sheila to spend some time focusing on Abby–given that she doesn’t seem to be doing that great. After Eric tells them about her incident in the cafeteria, they realize she is struggling and needs their attention. They decide to start off with having Abby apologize to the kid she with the tray and drive her over to his house.
The kid is all sorts of horrible and condescending, and it all makes sense when we realize he is Chris and Christa’s son. Instead of accepting the apology, Chris and Christa take it as a confession and blackmail Joel and Sheila. They say they won’t have Abby expelled if they give them the listing they stole from them.
Joel, Sheila, and Abby head over to Principal Novak’s house so Abby can come clean about what she did, but of course, he is scarred from Joel’s last visit and panics as soon as he sees them and proceeds to expel Abby when she confesses.
Matters get worse when Sheila’s finger falls off and into Novak’s home. However, they twist the situation brilliantly by claiming Novak shut the door on her finger and he promises not to expel Abby as long as they don’t sue him.

All the while, Eric heads to Japopo’s to investigate further into the clam mystery but winds up getting caught by the owner and locks himself in his office. He calls Joe to come and get him and shares that the night that Sheila turned after eating Japopo’s, the clams came from a vendor called Ruby’s Clams. Plot twist, indeed.
Sheila goes to another meeting regarding the housing development and is at ease because she thinks Carl won’t be there. When he shows up, she starts to freak out while sitting in the car. Something odd happens when she appears to have some sort of blackout and wakes up from it at 4:00 A.M.–still sitting in her car but now on her driveway.
She is covered in blood and chowing down on a human heart. With no recollection of what’s happened, her and Joel start to panic over who Sheila may have killed. Was it Carl? Keep reading to find out!
