Main Plot

Clare is receiving driving lessons from Eli. They switch spots in the car and Eli repeats to Clare all the steps on how to drive Morty. As Clare steps on the gas pedal, Clare and Eli nearly run straight into Fitz. They are shocked at Fitz sudden return as he comes up to the open window and says he needs to talk to them. Eli demands Clare speed out of there and Clare drives off, leaving Fitz by himself.

Later in the day, Fitz approaches Clare. Fitz said to Clare that he's genuinely sorry about what he did to her and Eli, explaining that when he was in juvie God found him. He runs off when Eli's hearse drives up to pick up Clare for her next driving lesson. However, Clare is unable to stop thinking about what Fitz has told her. Eli asks what was wrong and she tells him that she talked to Fitz. Eli is instantly enraged that she at all was in contact with him and shouts that Clare should stay away from Fitz because he is dangerous, reminding her that he had pulled a knife on him. Clare, however, becomes upset when he remarks that she is making it hard to do "his job". She demands to know what he meant and he says that is job is, as her boyfriend, to protect her. Clare says he doesn't have to do that, and he shouts, "Then if not me, who?!" She leaves out of the hearse in a huff.

The next morning Clare is walking from the bus while Eli is leaning on his hearse clearly alert. She asks him what he's doing and he states he is watching out for Fitz. She walks away annoyed.

At The Dot Clare and Adam are talking and Clare coinfides in Adam how Eli gets overly protective of her and how she feels that she can't breathe when he does. Adam dismisses her concerns, saying Eli's protectiveness is typical guy behavior and Eli is doing it out of love for her. Clare then says Eli is worth it. They then notice Fitz is working at The Dot as he cleans up some counters. Adam is seen leaving The Dot, not wanting to be near Fitz, when Clare walks up to Fitz and asks why he needed to talk to her, saying that he should keep a distance from her and Eli. Fitz says that he was messed up before he went to juvie, but that God has showed him the way since then. He then asks if she can ever forgive him and Clare, after a moment, says she does. Fitz then goes on to say how he now needs to make amends with Eli which Clare says she's not too sure will work given Eli's strong resentment towards him. However, Fitz has strong faith that if she has found the courage to forgive him, then Eli can as well. He then asks if she will offer him some help in earning Eli's forgiveness and Clare agrees.

Eli then drives up to The Dot, likely to see Clare, only to see them talking through the window. Immediately in a rage, he furiously walks up, breaks the conversation and shoves Fitz away from Clare, warning him to back off. Fitz agrees without any argument. Eli asks Clare if she's okay to which she tensely confirms, obviously upset. Fitz then apologizes to him. However, Eli blows him off. Clare tells him how he can just blow Fitz off when he has just formerly apologized to him. Eli then firmly asks Clare if she's leaving with him or not. She hesitates and says yes before the two leave with Eli giving Fitz a warning look.
