At an end-of-semester event, Eli taints Fitz’s drink, causing him to vomit. Fitz then threatens Eli with a knife, resulting in Fitz being arrested. Clare wants to spend the night with him because her parents are fighting, but he doesn’t let her. She then finds out he is a hoarder, and he doesn’t want her to give up on him.
