When Joan tells Kent of the site and the private session pictures, he breaks up with her. When he returns home, Kent checks Tim’s computer and finds some lewd comments about Tim's mother in his chat history. Kent confronts Tim about this, cancels the game account, and demands Tim rejoin the team next year. Brandy Beltmeyer has her online activity monitored by her over-protective mother, Patricia. Tim and Brandy start a relationship, which is hindered early on as Patricia would see Tim’s incoming texts to Brandy and delete them. Tim and Brandy do however become a couple, keeping in touch through Brandy's hidden Tumblr account. While doing her regular checking of Brandy’s social media communications, Patricia discovers Brandy's conversations with Tim and promptly steals all of Brandy's internet privileges. Tim, distraught over his canceled game account, reaches out and texts Brandy for support. Patricia, using Brandy's phone, intercepts his messages, and responds as her daughter, with messages telling Tim she is bored of him and that she will block his number if he texts her again. Tim, despondent, overdoses on the anti-depressants. Brandy rushes over to his house, where she and Kent find him passed out on the floor. They rush him to the hospital and have him stabilized. Patricia finds Brandy and bursts into tears, realizing her actions nearly caused Tim's death. She goes home and disconnects the device she used to track Brandy's text messages.
