The majority of the episode is about Ava attending IU Online and going over her ASL class at Ivy Tech. Ava says she’s doing great with good grades as well as progressing.

The episode ends with Ava at the field segment recorded at the Waynedale Kroger on Bluffton Road while Ava is picking up prescriptions.
