* AllForNothing: [[spoiler: Abby taking the heat for Margaret over who provided the LSD at the sleepover while trying to come clean to Gretchen's parents. The Langs exile her from their household and have her labeled as a dangerous, drug-dealing delinquent, which alone nearly gets her expelled from Albemarle, and things get progressively worse from there. Meanwhile, Margaret ditches Abby a short while later for daring to accuse her sleazy boyfriend of assaulting Gretchen — with Glee following — while Gretchen herself doesn't take kindly to Abby "talking about her" behind her back. Abby doesn't accomplish anything except winding up completely alone, until she meets Brother Lemon.]]
