It was revealed that Thomas was suffering from Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). With that, he wanted to leave his family with insurance money by killing himself. George stated that he aided Thomas in faking his own death. The girls handled the news differently. It was reported that Natalie, played by Jessica Meraz, decided that she wanted to leave her family. She expressed her desire to disappear for a while. As stated by TV Fanatic, Natalie was the most hurt by the news because she was at the bottom of the family tree. The previous episodes mentioned that she was at first kept a secret because her father did not want to know that he cheated on their mother. Therefore, the news that her father faked his death, in order to help the Carvers, and not her, made her upset.

Meanwhile, Brenna opens up about her feelings regarding her father."
