With no scholarships available, she needs financial information from her absentee father, Rick, to apply for aid. Bear, Cheese, Willie Jack, and Jackie offer to go with her, but she says she wants to do it on her own. She tracks him down and begins following him around. When he spots the tail, Rick confronts Elora with hostility. When he recognizes her as Cookie's daughter, he calms down. The two head to a local diner where Elora gets his financial information and initially remains uninterested in reconnecting. However, as they chat the two begin to bond. </p><p>Afterwards, he talks her into coming to his house so he can giver her a photograph of her on her first birthday, which was the last time he saw her. Elora also spots several toys in the front yard and inside. Rick reveals that she has three half-siblings and asks if she wants to meet them. She agrees and walks with him to the bus stop as they share a joint. Elora also goes with them to have pizza.
