When Justin meets Valerie and Theo at the coffee cart, Theo asks about Lyrik’s payment for performing at Justin and Leah’s wedding reception. He shares a smile with Valerie when Justin confirms he’ll be paid even though they’re family.
Later, Theo lies to make sure he gets the money in cash, before hugging Valerie when Justin agrees. When they go to meet a dealer, Theo suddenly gets second thoughts about lying to Justin, but Valerie urges him to hand over the money.
Despite feeling guilty over his actions, Theo continues to lie when he tells Kirby he thinks their band should play the wedding at no cost. Kirby instantly agrees, with Theo hiding his regret as she accepts his deception.
However, when she goes to meet Justin, Kirby becomes suspicious when she learns about the money he gave Theo to hire equipment.
Theo then reveals he spent the money on drugs, with Kirby sharing her disappointment as he’s stole from family and compromised the band.
Theo assures her he will pay the money back, but when he goes to tell Valerie about his conversation with Kirby, she gets scared and goes to confront her. Kirby explicitly tells Valerie that she’s a drug addict and needs to get help.
