The following morning on her return home, her drunken mother assaults her with an empty whiskey bottle, chasing her from the house. This was the straw that broke the camel's back, and Tara decides to leave the house. She stays with her cousin Lafayette Reynolds for a while, but leaves his home after discovering his hidden cameras. Tara then stays at a motel by her own. ("Mine")
