Description:
Continued from part 1... Aubrey's parents aren't sure what to make of her new attitude. Ben is pleased that she's so happy, but Ellen thinks she may be hiding something. She shows Ben a skull earring she found. They confront Aubrey, but she says the earrings is Erica's. At Todd's party, Aubrey doesn't feel comfortable about the lack of adults and the wild antics. Just then, a policeman comes in the front door! Aubrey and Erica duck through the window. At Whit's End, Todd drops off Aubrey's purse, raising Connies suspicions. Connie confronts Aubrey, who lies about where she was. Connie sends Aubrey home to tell her parents and later shows up to tell her that she is fired from Whit's End. Aubrey is devastated, but things only go downhill when she talks to her parents. They know she's skipping classes and getting failing grades. They've already decided to pull her out of public school and cut her off from Erica. Aubrey is pouting in her room when Erica comes to the window. She gives Aubrey a cell phone and convinces her that it's time to run away. Just as Aubrey's about to head out, she notices lights in the chapel. She investigates and finds her dad praying. He says he just wants his daughter back. Later that night, Aubrey and Erica are riding in Todd's new car when Erica demands Todd to pull over. She tells Aubrey that it's her turn to drive. When Aubrey drives through a red light, a policeman pulls them over. Erica lies to the policeman that Aubrey told them she had a license and wouldn't listen to them when they said to stop. Aubrey feels completely betrayed as she is taken to the police station. Ben and Ellen pick Aubrey up, but Ben says he doesn't want to talk. Aubrey wants to apologize, but doesn't know what to say. Later that evening, Ben and Ellen are up late thinking when they find Aubrey gone again! Ben sees lights on in the chapel. He finds Aubrey there at the alter. Aubrey says she wants to have a talk with her dad. Back in the kitchen, Aubrey says that she can now see Erica for what she was. She says she wishes she had a place to talk to God like she talks to her dad in the kitchen. Ben tells her that place is her heart. Aubrey says she'd like to invite Him in. Ben smiles. This is what he's been praying for.
