After the joint Liberty-Hillcrest assembly where Clay is arrested, Charlie approaches Tyler and says he'll go to the police to corroborate Tyler's story about Monty's assault. With his help, Tyler works up the confidence to go to the police station and officially file a report about what Monty did to him. Monty is arrested and imprisoned, where he is visited by his father and half-heartedly comes out to him (and his dad is not terribly pleased, to say the least).
Charlie is convinced to plant Bryce's tape in Monty's locker to frame him for Bryce's murder, and Ani later tells Alex's father that Monty is responsible. It is only then that we learn Monty was killed in his jail cell only a few hours before Ani's confession. Knowing that Monty is innocent, Winston confronts Ani, saying Monty doesn't deserve to go down for the crime, but everyone else seems content to pin the murder on him, especially now that he's also dead.
Meanwhile, Tyler holds his first photo exhibit at Monet's after Justin convinces him to do to a show. At the show, Zach apologises to Tyler for everything that happened, and Tyler finds himself surrounded by friends and happier than he's been in a long time.
