Chez Kelly, Grace is still grilling Lindsay about her Benton Hahbuh home. Lindsay cracks under the pressure and ends up saying that their house is on Benton Harbor Street. The fight is on and all the yelling rouses Chip, who mumbles, "What's happening?" Both parents shout at Kim, and her mother declares that they're selling the car. Kim grabs the keys and starts screeching when her mother tries to take them from her. Lindsay runs for the door, and Kim lobs the keys to her. Lindsay runs outside to the car with Mr. Kelly hot on her heels. She manages to lock herself in the car while Kim breaks free of her mother and jumps into the driver's seat. Mr. Kelly is pounding on the car and yelling at Kim not to start it while Grace screams that if Kim leaves, she can't come back, and that she's going to "call the cops." Kim manages to start the car and put it in reverse. After they've peeled out, Mr. Kelly tells Grace, "You spoil her!" I know from personal experience that home renovations can make you crazy, but I don't think it could account completely for the level of dysfunction in that house.
Kim brings the car to a halt in the middle of a street and starts pounding the steering wheel and screeching, "This is my car! My car! My car! My car!" Lindsay looks on in horror, and after a moment, asks Kim if she's okay. Kim chastises Lindsay for saying her house was on Benton Harbor Street. Lindsay retorts that Kim could have informed her that she was being used. Kim apologizes and says that she just wanted to bring home someone who was not a loser. Lindsay accepts the apology with a "whatever." Kim claims that her stepfather won't sell her car because of "all the dirt she has on him." Lindsay, who is clearly out of her depth, nods and tries to calm Kim down. Kim says that she wants to find Daniel, who will "flip out" when he hears what has happened. Kim starts the car and they squeal off.
