Scott Taylor is a Graduate of Clearwater High School in the Class of 2016, and one of the original thirteen characters, regarded as the most developed male character on the series. He is extremely selfless and constantly puts other people's feelings and wants over his own which has led him to become extremely unhappy over the course of the show since so many people take advantage of this. After dating a girl, he realizes he is gay, facing backlash from many people because of it, including his parents. Both his unwillingness to do something for himself and his look for love are ongoing storylines in his character's plot line throughout the first 4 seasons. He is well-liked by mostly everyone due to his caring and kind nature.

In the second season, he falls deeply in love with new kid Dex Smith, but he is soon taken by his best friend, Eliza, causing a very awkward love triangle that lasts until Dex dumps her in the fourth season. After starting a short flirtatious relationship with sworn enemy, Keith, it ends badly when Scott refuses to tell his parents about them and Keith does it for him, causing Scott to be kicked out. He lives with Angel for a short period until she blames her drugs on him and gets him kicked out as well. He ends up sleeping on a bench until faking a relationship with Hank Pistol to have a place to stay. Finally, Dex acknowledges his feelings for Scott after long suspicions, but Scott ends up turning him down to save getting hurt again, but they soon reconnect and get together.

In the sixth season, Scott becomes very hardened and vindictive due to the many bad events that have plagued him, although he soon returns to his former happy-going self. Scott is happy for a short period of time while in a committed relationship with Dex, but following being shot and held hostage in the shooting and Dex's mental deterioration and depression diagnosis, Dex leaves town and breaks up with Scott. This leads to Scott being very unhappy again and running into serious financial problems.

Things finally start looking up for him in the seventh season when he enters a good relationship with his manager, continues to reconnect with his parents, and focuses on his future. Things get complicated when Dex returns to town and soon starts pursuing Scott again. This leads to a messy love triangle which comes to a head at the Christmas Ball, where Scott chooses to focus on himself and his future now that his parents have gifted him a large sum of money for college. After the death of his father and his mother's dementia diagnosis in the final season, Scott finally decides to do things for himself, and decides to go to Seattle for college, bringing his boyfriend Dex and good friend Peyton along with him, finally finding happiness.

He is best friends with Eric Stem and Danielle Hooper. He is good friends with Eliza Bell, Peyton Valentine, Lana Davis, Brittany Brith, Chloe Kaven, Ethan Webber, Sophie Clark, and Angel O'Brian.

Character History[]

Season 1[]

101c — Scott nervous about making friends in high school.

In Anything Could Happen, Scott is first seen entering his first class of high school and spotting Brittany, one of his old middle school friends. He exclaims how happy he is to see a familiar face and tells her how relieved he is to see someone who doesn't hate him, referring to something that went down over the summer. When Brittany tells him that not that many people hate him, he doesn't believe her and also doesn't believe her when Brittany says he won't have trouble making new friends now that they're at high school. He tells her that he had a solid clique in middle school, but now only has a couple of people left who talk to him. Brittany promises that she and Olivia won't leave him and he says that he hope's they don't. At lunch, he finds Brittany and sits with her, saying he still hasn't talked to anyone new and Brittany tells him it takes time. Discouraged, Scott says he wants to make a friend before he's fifty while watching the popular table all talk and have fun, asking why that can't be him. Brittany tells him there's no reason it can't be, but Scott is skeptical and angrily eats his lunch.

Later on in the hallway, Scott spots his old friend Eliza and asks her what's up. She informs him that she's trying to find her class and looks happy to see him, so Scott asks if she wants to hang out later that day. Eliza says that she and their friend Moon are going to hang out and that she's busy for the rest of the week, discouraging Scott yet again when she tells him she'll let him know when she's free before walking away. He walks into his next class and doesn't recognize anybody, but sees they're all talking and having fun, so he sits in the back and stays silent, feeling bad about himself.

While walking home from school, his friend Chloe approaches him and he asks how her first day was and she tells him it was fine, asking him back. Scott tells her that he wishes he knew more people and Chloe says that Brittany told her how lonely he's been and that she's there for him. Scott thanks her and Chloe says they can hangout and talk even if they don't have classes together. She also reminds him that friends will come if he is patient and tells him to text her, making him feel better. That night, he calls Olivia and asks if they can hangout. She seems excited and tells him that she'd love to and to meet her at her locker before school so they can talk. This gives Scott more confidence about high school and he actually looks happy.

In Love Drunk, he sees Eliza talking to a cute new guy and walks up to her, asking who it was. Eliza says his name is Blake, and they just met, but he asked her to lunch. Scott recognizes the name and says he's heard of him, and he's bad news, but is unsure if what people say it true. Eliza asks if he thinks she should stay away from him, but Scott says that just because it's a rumor doesn't make it true, and he could be a great guy. He tells her to give him a chance, and if he really is bad, then stay away. Scott can tell she likes him, but Eliza admits she just met him and has only dated one guy before. Scott then points out that he was fifty and gay, so it doesn't count. Eliza mentions that Moon says having a boyfriend might make her less depressed, and Scott tells her that that isn't necessarily true, since relationships can just bring drama and stress. Eliza agrees and decides to take things slow, which Scott says is a good idea. He is later walking with Eliza and Moon the next day and tells Eliza that there are plenty of guys at Clearwater when Blake and her don't work out. After Blake approaches them wanting to talk things out, Scott pulls Moon away so that they can have privacy.

In Fuckin' Perfect, Sophie runs up to him in the hall and asks him what's up. He tells her he's on his way to class and is going to be late. She asks if she can ask him something, and he tells her to hurry. She asks him what goes on at Olivia's mom's house, and Scott is taken aback by this question, asking her why it matters. She tells him that she knows something is up and just wants to know what it is. Scott looks like he feels bad not being able to tell her, but explains that he promised Olivia he wouldn't tell anyone about it, and can't break that promise. Sophie tries to press further, but Scott tells her to ask Olivia if she wants to know that badly and walks off to class, leaving Sophie disappointed.

In Keep Holding On, he meets Olivia at her locker and when she asks him what he wants, he jokingly asks if he can't just come visit his best friend. Olivia jokes back, and Scott tells her that he wants to have a Walking Dead marathon that night and asks if she'd like to join. She asks him what day it is, and he realizes it's Wednesday, a night she is at her mom's house, and apologizes for it slipping his mind. She tells him to watch Walking Dead with Eliza, but calls dibs to hang out with him that weekend. Scott tells her that he's going on a trip with his family all weekend, and Olivia asks him if he'd rather be with her. Scott agrees that he would, but sadly says the universe doesn't want them to hang out. He asks her if she's going to be okay at home with her mom, and she tells him she'll be fine. He leaves for class, but wishes her luck. The next day, Eliza greets him and asks him if Olivia has told him what's been going on with her. Scott tells her she has, and it's killing him watch Olivia go through her abuse. He asks her if they should step in and do something, and Eliza says that Olivia was planning on sending a video of the abuse to CPS. Olivia joins them and Scott asks her how the previous night went, shocked when Olivia explains she got the footage of her abuse, but deleted it. He asks her why and is worried when she explains she can't say goodbye to her siblings yet.

106a — Scott discussing his sexuality with Brittany and Olivia.

In This Is How I Disappear (1), he is at lunch with his friends when Brittany catches him checking out a guy walking by. Scott asks her and Olivia if it's weird to think a guy is cute if you're straight, and they both say he must not be straight if he thinks that. Scott tells them he thinks he's straight, but isn't too sure. To help him figure it out, Brittany has Scott picture Eric shirtless, and he admits that things are happening in his pants when he does. Brittany tells him he's not straight, and Olivia calls him gay after Brittany has him think of Abby shirtless, and nothing happens. Scott doesn't want to believe it, and accepts Olivia's invitation to Pride with her to help him find some clarity, staring back at the cute guy and sighing.

Scott gets home from school that day and greets his mom, telling her his day was uneventful when she asks and turns down her offer for food. He asks her if he can go to a club that Wednesday, and she seems very excited that he's into something, asking what it is. Scott explains it's the gay-straight alliance, and when his mother is shocked they would have that at a high school, Scott explains he can meet a lot of people and help cut down bullying, seeming very excited. She seems unsure, saying her and his father don't like "those people," but Scott explains that he does, explaining that his old best friend was gay and even though they're not friends anymore, he still cares about the community. His mother warns him how it's weird and other people will assume he's gay, but Scott says he doesn't care, and can handle a few homophobes. His mother makes the agreement that he can go as long as he brings back some kind of paper on what the group does so her and his father can decide if he can stay in the group. Scott is a bit confused as to why she cares so much, but seems relieved he's allowed to go at all.

The next day, Scott is on his way to Pride when Eliza accidentally bumps into him. She apologizes, and Scott points out that she looks mad, asking what's going on. She tells him she just has relationship drama and in return, points out he looks nervous. Scott admits he's going to his first Pride meeting and Eliza seems surprised, asking if he's going to start coming out to other people soon. Scott admits he doesn't know if he will, mentioning that it's been six months since he came out to Eliza as bi, meaning he was lying to Olivia and Brittany when he said he thought he was straight. Scott suggests he might be ready to tell other people, and Eliza says that she supports him in whatever he does and leaves to vent her frustrations, which Scott wishes her luck with. He takes a deep breath and walks into the club, taking a seat between Olivia and Moon. Moon is shocked to see him there, and introduces him to her sister, Jamie. Jamie says that she's heard a lot of good things about him and invites him to FilmFridays, making him feel included. Once the meeting starts and everyone starts introducing themselves, Scott nervously introduces himself as bi to the group, shocking Olivia who nudges him in surprise. He looks very nervous following this big coming out.

He gets home after Pride, very excited and tells his parents that it was the best thing ever. His mother asks for an informational paper like she asked for, and Scott hands it over, waiting silently as his parents look it over. He explains the terms transgender and pansexual to his parents, calling them out for being judgmental when they find it preposterous. His parents tell him they don't want him hanging out with these people, but Scott tells them that they're his friends. They ban him from seeing those kind of people and from going to the group, saying they're filling his head with sick things. Scott tells them the group is about love, but they don't seem to care, saying he shouldn't be exposed to this stuff. Scott puts his foot down, saying he's going no matter what they say, but his father doubles down, saying they're already getting to him. Scott tells them there are so many people he wants to meet there and be friends with, but they say those people are not who he should be friends with. Scott snaps, saying that they might not agree with his beliefs, but they can't change his mind or cut him off from his friends. He storms to his room and sulks, upset that he is banned from the one place he feels most at home.

He gets to his lunch table the next day and is very depressed, which causes Jamie to ask him what's wrong. He lets her know that his parents banned him from going to pride ever again, saying that they told him teens shouldn't be worried about their sexualities at this age. Olivia then outs him as bi to the lunch table and quickly apologizes, but Scott tells her it's alright and tells everyone himself. Danielle tells him no one is going to kick him out for it, and Ethan tries to cheer him up by saying it's just a club and he can join FilmFridays. Scott explains to him that it hurts him because them not letting him go to Pride also means they won't accept his sexuality if they were to find out, saying he'll have to keep his bisexuality a secret for them forever. Sophie asks him what he'll do if he dates a guy, and Scott suggests he'll have to keep it a secret from them as well. Olivia apologies, feeling terrible for him, but Scott tries to cheer himself up, saying he still has FilmFridays, but obviously not doing a good job. Later that day though, he and Olivia are hanging out at their lockers when Olivia leaves to go to Pride. Scott tells her he is coming with her, and she is surprised, asking about his parents. Scott tells her he'll lie and tell them he walked home with Chloe and he's a teenager now, so they can't run his whole life. Olivia asks him if he's excited to go, and he tells her she has no idea, happy to feel accepted again.

In This Is How I Disappear (2), after sneaking off to Pride against his parents' wishes, Scott walks home with Lauren, his neighbor, who comments this isn't the cute little kid she used to know who would never do anything wrong. Scott comments that he's not a little kid anymore, and asks her why she was at school so late. Lauren explains she was working on a project, and warns Scott that senior year is terrible. He reminds her he has a long way to go until then, and mentions that Olivia told him he could meet a lot of new friends at FilmFridays when Lauren mentions she heard he was going to join. She suggests that he could make enough friends at FilmFridays that he wouldn't need to go to Pride anymore, but Scott tells her he likes Pride and it's a lot of fun. Lauren is about to ask him what they do there, when they are interrupted by Scott's father, who pulls in his driveway the second Scott and Lauren get to their houses. Scott is immediately scared, as his father is angry, and asks him where he was. Scott is too nervous to even respond to his father's questions and is pulled away by him. At home, his parents berate him for going against their orders. His dad asks him if he's gay, and he tells them he's 100% straight, and not confused. They are confused as to why he would want to go then, and he explains that he has friends there. He explains that he's made no new friends in high school except the ones he met there, but his father calls them freaks. Scott tries to put his foot down and tells his parents they can think what they want, but he's going to the club. His father puts an axe in that plan by saying he's going to pick Scott up from school every Wednesday so he can't go. Scott is upset and asks why he's being punished for going to a club that promotes love and acceptance, and says he can't accept their decision because he doesn't think it's right. Scott is very visibly upset and storms off.

At school the next day, he is sitting with Sophie and Olivia and telling them what happened. Sophie explains that she didn't even tell her mom she was going to Pride, instead lying and saying it was book club. Scott asks her if her mother would care if she did know, and Sophie isn't sure. Olivia tells Scott he doesn't have any other options than just not go, which Scott is surprised to hear from her, saying that she's the rebel telling him to break the rules. Olivia calls him out for being a goody-two-shoes and not willing to break the rules anyway, but Scott proves her wrong by saying he already went against his parents' wishes. After Sophie suggests he ask Mr. Pendar, Scott thinks it's a great idea and approaches him, asking him what he should do since his parents won't let him go to Pride. Mr. Pendar tells him to listen to his parents and hope in the future they change their minds, which Scott is shocked to hear. Olivia tells him maybe this is for the best, but Scott doesn't think so.

At lunch, Scott introduces himself to Brittany's new friend, Harley, and she tells him that she likes his name. After Harley leaves with Chloe to grab lunch, Brittany tells Scott that Harley likes him, which confuses Scott since he just met her. Brittany explains she thinks he's cute, but it's too bad he's more into guys at the moment. Scott tells her that he's not, he's just confused, and Brittany suggests he may be bi and not gay. Harley and Chloe return, and Scott immediately starts putting the moves on Harley, asking her how she likes school so far and asking her to be his date to FilmFridays. Harley is taken aback by this, and Scott asks her if she has a boyfriend, which she admits she doesn't. She admits to not knowing him that well to go on a date with him, and Scott explains that they can get to know everything about each other then, which Harley seems cool with. Scott then randomly asks her to be his girlfriend, shocking everyone at the table, and she accepts, holding his hand while Scott looks a bit uncomfortable with what he just did.

107a — Scott bringing his new girlfriend, Harley, to FilmFridays

At FilmFridays that day, Danielle is raving about how cute Scott and Harley are as a couple, and Scott thanks her. Moon interrupts their conversation and pulls Scott into the hallway, who is confused. Moon asks what he's doing with Harley, and Scott explains they're dating and finds it awesome. Moon disagrees, and Scott admits that they just met an hour ago, but he can tell she's great. Moon asks him if Harley knows he might be into guys, and Scott tells her she doesn't, and he doesn't plan on telling her, not seeing why he should. Moon explains that she has a right to know, since it would be shocking if he dumped her for a guy. Scott stops her and says he never mentioned ever wanting to date a guy, which Moon finds confusing. Scott explains people would all say terrible things and his parents would lose their mind, and he doesn't want to deal with that. Moon urges him to tell Harley regardless, but he refuses, saying he finally has a girlfriend, and he isn't going to mess it up. He stands his ground and tells Moon he runs his own life before returning to Harley and leaving Moon feeling helpless.

Scott gets home that day and tells his mother he had fun at FilmFridays, and also has a girlfriend, which she freaks out about immediately. She explains that his father was convinced he liked boys, but that he will be so relieved to hear this. This disappoints Scott, who finds it very weird when his mother tells her how proud of her she is. His mother goes to call his father and tell him the news, and Scott tries to continue to convince himself he is straight, and that the response he got from his mother proves he has to be.

In Radar, Scott is going through FilmFridays ideas with Alicia when she brings up the fact that she won't see Scott at Pride anymore, asking if he would ever tell his parents he's bi. Scott adamantly tells her he would never and explains he's only out to about 15 people at the moment. Alicia asks him if he's going to keep the number that low, and Scott considers telling more of his friends, especially since everyone he's told so far has taken it well. Alicia gives him tips if anyone takes it badly, but Scott doesn't think anyone would. He goes to FilmFridays as it starts with Sophie and Danielle and comments that it's the best part of the week. Danielle suggests Sophie might fight a boyfriend here, but Sophie complains that she already knows everyone here. Scott remarks that there's a new kid named Devon joining, and tries to warn Sophie not to talk to him, but Danielle pushes her in his direction before Scott can complain. He gives Sophie a thumbs up as she talks to him, but obviously knows it's not a good idea.

108c — Scott upset with Gina's homophobic remarks.

The next day, Scott is waiting around in the lunchroom when Brittany approaches him and asks him what he's waiting around for. Scott explains he's waiting for Gina and Chloe, and tells her he's going to come out to them. He notices Brittany looking at someone and asks who it is. Brittany tells him it's Levi Carlson and asks if he knows him. Scott explains that Levi goes to his church youth group, but he doesn't talk to him much. Brittany asks Scott if he can bring her to his next youth group meeting so she can get to know Levi better, and Scott tells her he can, and it'll be fun. Brittany thanks him and seems very excited as Chloe and Gina arrive. Chloe mentions that Scott wanted to tell them someone, and Gina asks if it's big. Scott says it kind of is and tells them they're some of his closest friends and wants them to know the direction he is taking his life. Chloe asks if he's moving, and Scott tells her no, and then comes out as bisexual. While Chloe takes it well, Gina does not, saying that he's one of "those" people. Scott tells her that he is LGBT, and that he still believes in God when she tells him she can help him find his way back to God. Scott says that he thought they would want to know when Gina is upset about why he would even tell people that. Chloe pulls Gina away so she doesn't say any more mean things, leaving Scott shocked by her reaction.

The next day, Gina chases down Scott in the hall and asks her to come to church with her that night. Scott tells her he's already going to his own church, but Gina explains that she talked to her pastors and they're willing to help Scott get back on the "right" path, saying she wants to help him. Scott grows very annoyed and tells her if she wants to help, she can tell her pastors to go help someone with real problems before storming off. At his youth group, Scott advises Brittany to go talk to Levi after he winks at her and tells her to ask him to Homecoming. Brittany thinks it's a bad time, since he seems to be into the conversation the group is having on God, and Scott shadily tells her he can tell she's not into the conversation. Brittany says that she's not into religion, she just came to see Levi, which Scott is surprised to hear her say. The youth group leader also hears this and tells Brittany to leave. Brittany does, and brings Scott with her, who tells his leader that he's her ride so he has to, obviously not happy that Brittany ruined his youth group meeting. Outside, Brittany apologizes for getting them kicked out, and Scott tells her it's alright, since he's not in the headspace to be there anyways. After Levi comes and talks to Brittany, Scott mouths "homecoming" to Brittany, in order to get her to ask him. Unfortunately, she freaks out and does it frantically, which scares Levi away. Scott advises Brittany that most guys don't like when girls scream in their face, and says it was a bad move as his father arrives to pick them up.

Scott goes to apologize for losing his cool with Gina and she accepts it. Scott waits for her to apologize for her homophobic comments, asking her if there's anything she'd like to say, but all Gina says is she can deal with his "immoral" lifestyle as long as he doesn't talk about it. Scott is confused as to how to react to this, and when Alicia pulls him aside alone, she asks him if he's actually going to follow that. Scott says that he doesn't need anymore drama, but says he's going to bring it up as much as possible around Gina, since she's not going to obviously stay friends with him if he ever dates a guy. He seems excited to piss her off and have fun in the meantime, which Alicia fully supports.

In You Da One, he goes to Danielle's house after she asks for his help. He asks her what's going on and says he rushed over as soon as he got her text, she tells him to come in and they sit on her couch. Danielle fills him in on the love rectangle that she is in and Scott is shocked to hear all of this has been going on. He advises her to drop Eric as a possible homecoming date since he backstabbed his best friend in order to talk to Danielle. He then starts asking how Ethan and Brad make her feel and helps her realize that she likes Brad more than Ethan. He also pushes for her to just be honest with Ethan when she lets him down. He later chastises Danielle for kissing Ethan, despite knowing she was going to choose Brad over him. Danielle knows it was wrong, and Scott waits with Alicia as Danielle breaks the news to Ethan. Danielle returns, and Scott comments how that didn't look good, and Danielle says it didn't sound good either. He then walks with Alicia and Danielle as they try and comfort her.

In Dancing On My Own (1), Olivia gets on one knee in front of him at his locker and he jokes that he won't get married until after high school. Olivia asks him to homecoming, and Scott turns her down, reminding her he has a girlfriend now and he's going to go with her. Olivia tells him that he should mention Harley more since she forgot they got together. Scott apologizes, and Olivia says it's alright and that she can just go with their friends. Scott tells her that he can still hang out with her there, and Olivia makes him promise to give her 3 dances. He then walks away as Olivia discusses her feelings for him with Moon. He later tries to hug Olivia after he is giddy about passing a test, and is confused when she reacts very coldly to him, pushing him away. Scott asks her what's wrong, and doesn't believe her when she tells him everything is fine. She then asks him not to touch her because he doesn't mean it and emotionally walks away, leaving Scott reeling and confused.

In Dancing On My Own (2), At the dance, Chloe tells him about what Harley has been doing to Olivia and he is angry and goes off to find them. He finds Olivia and starts to talk to her about Harley but Moon, Eliza, and Tim run up to them and Eliza tells Scott it was a lie. Moon lets it slip that Olivia likes Scott and he is shocked. Olivia apologizes to him about everything and he forgives her and tells her that he's fine with her having a crush on him but then tells Eliza that's it's weird and he hopes she gets over it.

In Personal Jesus, he is playing patty cake with Harley when Brittany comes up to them and announces that she is satanic. They both seem okay with it and Scott brings up that her crush is a devout Christian which might make things hard. Later, he is hanging out with Danielle when Sophie comes and tells them she's dating Ethan. They both tell her not too which makes Sophie upset. When Danielle storms off, Scott follows her. He catches Leah and Brittany praying and finds it strange and also thinks Brittany's initiation debacle was funny. He is later seen with Caylee's friends waiting to hear from Jamie on what happened. Sophie pulls him aside and apologizes for being mean to him and Danielle and he apologizes back. They make up and hug.

In What You Waiting For?, Harley tells Scott she's ready to be fully committed to their relationship and Scott seems hesitant. She tries to kiss him and he tells her he's sick. Ethan tells him it was a bad move and Scott says that he's a bad boyfriend. He later asks Tim to be in a video project he's doing that weekend and Tim accepts. He tells Eliza about what happened to Harley and she helps him realize that he's gay. He is worried for his parents to know and she says he doesn't have to tell them yet. He plans to break up with Harley since he never liked her. he comforts Tim along with Moon after he makes Sadie cry and then he and Moon plan to make the next day fun for Tim.

At his house, he and Sadie are talking when Gina and Chloe come and Gina yells at him for being gay. Scott replies with a speech about how he hates himself and wishes he were straight. He gets a phone call from Sophie saying she and Tim were in a car accident and he and Sadie run off to find them. At the crash site, he sees Harley's house and goes to break up with her, He does it and she starts crying. Scott feels bad, but is ready to move on. They all go back to his place after they clear the accident.

In Want U Back, he and Caylee swoon over how cute Jamie and Jeremy are as a couple. He talks to Brittany and reveals he has a crush on Ethan. Levi comes and tries to talk to Brittany, but she is speechless and Scott covers for her. He also tells her that she could never date him because of their opposite religions. The next day after Brittany and Levi are dating, Scott finds it funny when Levi reveals to be extremely religious.

In The Change, Scott is talking with a few other FilmFridayz members about how Sadie isn't a good leader. Eliza asks him along with Kat, Blake, and Chloe to come with her to Illinois to convince her brother not to get a sex change. When they are about to leave, Moon calls Scott and figures out what Eliza is doing. She runs to yell at Eliza and convince her not to go and talk to her brother. Scott and Chloe agree with Moon and stay behind. When he goes to FilmFridayz with Moon and Olivia, they see Jeremy and Sadie fighting and Scott and Moon slowly back away. He is talking with FilmFridayz members after the meeting and they all agree that Jamie should replace Sadie as leader.

He is later smoking with Eric and Abby which surprises Sophie. Ethan comes to look for Sophie and Abby tells him about her wanting to make out again. Scott offers to get the whole story from her.

Dex tells Scott that he thinks something is wrong with Eliza and Scott agrees that she's been distant. Dex promises Scott they'll hang out later that day and apologizes for neglecting him, but Scott says he understands and leaves. At lunch, Angel and Scott notice Dex looks like he got punched, but he tells them he just hit himself with his locker on accident. When Angel points out his wound is bleeding, he runs to the bathroom to clean it and Scott and Angel both talk about the possibility of Eliza hitting him, which they don't find far-fetched. Scott says he might be lying about it because it might be humiliating for him to say his girlfriend hit him. Scott then makes it his mission to figure out what happened.

At Dex's house that day, Scott notices a bruise on Dex's arm and touches it, realizing what is happening. Dex tells him he fell down the stairs, but Scott doesn't buy it for a second and tells him that. Scott puts his hand on Dex's shoulder who then breaks down in tears and confesses that Eliza is the one hurting him and he's scared of her. Scott tells Dex he's not pathetic and that he needs to leave her. Dex then says that he still loves her and doesn't know why, but is also scared she might kill herself like Sophie tried to do when he dumped her. Dex then starts to sob and holds tightly onto Scott who hugs him and tries to comfort him, saying he's sorry and that she couldn't find anyone better than him because he's one of the best people he's ever met. Dex looks at him and Scott tells him he's perfect. Dex then suddenly kisses Scott, who is completely taken aback. Dex immediately apologizes and says he's messed up and didn't mean to kiss him, but thanks him for staying.

In Dark Horse (2), Scott tries to make things better with Sadie and explain himself again, but she doesn't want to give him the time of day. He says that if Tim left her that easily just because of something he said, it's probably good they didn't get serious anyway, but this only angers Sadie more (who is also high on meds) and she tells him that he's pathetic and couldn't even get Tim after he broke them up. She then tells him she never wants to talk to him again and storms off, making Scott feel worse about his actions.

Instead of telling them, she gives them an address and tells them to meet her there at 8 and she'll show them. Scott and Chloe are both confused, but listen and wind up at a bar. Once they get in, Scott realizes they're at a strip club and are astounded to see Brittany in lingerie dancing on stage. Scott looks away and says there's too many boobs and they wait in a corner and discuss what's going on. Scott tells Chloe she must have gotten in there illegally since she's only 16 and says she must be pretty desperate as they look back in worry.

When she gets off, they both start judging her. While Chloe says it's trashy, Scott is more worried about the implications of her being a minor and doing this. He tells her that it needs to stop when she says that she likes it and how confident it makes her feel. She then asks if she'd be better off selling drugs and neither say anything, which gets Brittany upset that they think that is better than dancing on stage. Chloe calls her a slut and Brittany loses her mind. Scott tries to say Chloe didn't mean it, but Brittany screams at Scott to leave and throw a hairbrush at him, so he darts out following Chloe.

In Big Girls Don't Cry, Scott is going over the plan for his and Dex's movie night they are having and Dex mentions that he didn't know Scott liked X-Men, which Scott says he does, but the look on his face says otherwise when he turns away. Eliza comes and tries to invite herself to their movie night, so Scott tells her it's a guy's night out. Eliza is mad and tells him they're hanging out on Sunday no matter what before Mr. Hanson calls for Dex on the PA. He says it's probably about him failing a class and Scott says goodbye.

Eliza gets very annoyed as does Dex, who tells them that they need to love him more than they hate each other because he hates having to deal with their fights. Eliza sits down and the three sit in an awkward silence together. Soon after, Eliza's mom texts her that she's there to pick her up and Eliza says that Dex should come home with her. At first, Dex is about to say he'd rather stay with Scott, but Eliza then says he needs to stop ignoring her, so he decides to appease her and leaves Scott. He tries to get Scott a ride home so he doesn't have to walk, but Eliza purposely says no and kisses Dex while staring right at Scott. They leave as Scott is left feeling furious with Eliza.

The next day, Dex calls Scott after seeing missed calls from him. Scott picks up immediately and asks how he is, saying he's there whenever he needs him.

He meets up with Keith and talks about how they're going to nail the presentation they're doing together. Scott says he's nervous about talking in front of the class, so Keith says to act like Scott is just talking to him. They stop in front of Scott's class and Scott tells him that he didn't need to walk him to class, but Keith says he wanted to and they high five before Keith leaves. They are later working on their project in the hallway and kiss. Keith brings up their past, but Scott says they were so clueless about everything back then and things are different now, making Keith believe maybe they might work out this time.

In a flashback Keith has, it shows the initial reason behind Scott and Keith's rivalry and the reason everyone hated Scott in the first episode was because Keith told the whole school Scott stole money from his parents after Scott's dad caught them cuddling and kicked Keith out. The next day, Keith puts his arm around Scott in the hallway and Scott mentions that his friends are convinced they're going to date. Keith asks if they are as they sit and Scott says he doesn't know. Keith brings up their past and all the stuff he did, but Scott says he's just focused on the present and that Keith was the first guy he fell for, but that they should take things slow to make sure things work out. Keith kisses him and asks if he's allowed to do that and Scott says definitely, so they then make out. Scott then leaves and accidentally bumps into Eliza and Dex. Eliza thinks that Scott is stalking them and calls him out on it, upsetting Scott who tells Eliza she can't manipulate Dex forever. After Eliza accuses Scott of flirting with Dex, which Scott wants to keep secret, she calls him a slut for now being with Keith and Scott is shocked. He looks to Dex to stick up for him, but instead, Dex says Scott should leave them alone for a while.

In Misery Business (1), Scott walks back into school with Keith holding hands and Alicia comes asking if they've defined their relationship yet. Keith explains they're taking it slow and Alicia tells them that everyone already thinks they're dating anyway. Scott then kisses Keith goodbye before heading to class with Alicia. He is later in class with Angel texting Keith and she gets his attention, acting worried that he's talking to him again. Scott asks what's wrong with it and she tells him that he's using Keith to fill the void Dex left. Scott denies this, saying he and Keith have always had something. When Angel says it's convenient they started talking right when the love of his life left him, Dex asks if they can stop talking about this and says Dex was just a crush. He then says he's not into Dex anymore and will prove it before walking off. At lunch, Keith asks if they can have dinner with Scott's parents so he knows they still don't hate him and Scott is shocked. Keith explains that he wants the whole world to know about them this time and Scott says he'll talk to them about it, but in his head knows that it will never happen.

Scott is freaking out at his locker and Olivia comes and asks if he's going to come out to his parents, but Scott is lost on what to do. He explains that he's been ready to come out forever, but he's not sure how his parents will take it and reminds her of how they freaked out when he wanted to join the pride club. He says it's not likely they're opened their minds when Olivia brings up that might might have. Olivia then says she'll talk to Keith because he shouldn't have to force Scott to make this big decision, which Scott is grateful to her for. After the talk doesn't go well, Keith goes to Scott and sets up a date for the dinner, which Scott unhappily agrees to, starting to freak out. He calls his dad from an empty classroom and hopes to tell him over the phone so it won't be as bad, but as soon as he brings up Keith, his father calls him a faggot and Scott realizes they will never be okay with him being gay. He makes up a lie about why he called and hangs up, stressed about what to do. Dex walks by and sees him looking distraught and walks in asking if he's okay. Scott doesn't want to talk to him and tells him to go back to Eliza. Dex tries to make things right between them, but Scott is furious that Dex ended their friendship because his girlfriend asked him to and tells him he doesn't want to be a fair-weathered friend. He then tells Dex that he's had a lot of people leave him, but none of them hurt more than Dex did and leaves. He runs into Keith and tells him that he can't do the dinner with his parents. Keith says that he doesn't want to be his secret and Scott explains that they have a better chance being together if his parents don't know since they might banish him or send him to therapy. Keith gets mad and says he's still the same pussy around his parents that he's always been and Scott asks why he's so upset to which Keith replies that he doesn't want to be with someone who's embarrassed to be seen with him. Scott explains that he kisses him in the halls and everyone at school knows they're together, but his parents just can't know. Keith doesn't understand, so Scott raises his voice and says he wishes things were as easy for him as they were for Keith and that he's jealous that Keith's parents were totally fine when he came out. He says that all he wants is for his parents to love him unconditionally, but that won't happen and that he shouldn't be punished because of the circumstances he's been put in. Keith doesn't listen to anything and leaves. Unbeknownst to Scott, Keith tells his parents they are together.

In Misery Business (2), Scott is walking home and is on the phone with Angel. They are talking about him and Keith and he tells her that he has no idea what is going on between them because they haven't talked since their fight. Angel says that maybe they aren't right for each other since Keith is being so selfish about Scott coming out to his parents. Scott tells her that he knows this, but needs to just get away from everything for a while. After telling Angel he's going to sit in his room and binge watch Pretty Little Liars all night, he walks into his house and sees his parents waiting for him at the kitchen table. Scott gets worried and asks if someone died, but they tell him that Keith called them and said they'd been dating for a month. They then outright ask him if he's having relations with a boy and Scott is speechless, not knowing what to say, but furious that Keith would do that.

At school the next day, he asks Keith what's wrong with him as he bursts into his class before the bell and tells Sophie and Alicia what he did. Keith shows no remorse and says he was helping him, but Scott explains that he had to lie to them and say he was joking or they were going to send him to boot camp. Scott then tells Keith that whatever they had is over and leaves. He is seen crying by Caylee who comes to comfort him. After explaining what happened, Caylee tells him that maybe Keith helped him in a weird way since now he has no other option other than to come out, which he was never going to do on his own. Scott says that he has too much drama going on already to deal with this now and Caylee hugs him, saying they'll get over it eventually. Scott starts to believe that maybe they will accept him after some time and mentions that Dex isn't there for him when he really needs him. Caylee tells him that he deserves better, but that things will work out very soon. Scott then says he's going to come out to his parents and hopes they'll accept him.

His mother tells him that he lied to them yesterday when he said he wasn't and Scott says that he doesn't want to go to therapy or a pastor because there is nothing wrong with him. His father says that something is because the bible says how wrong homosexuality is, but Scott mentions that they always skip over the "all men are equal" verse. His father insists they get him help, but Scott says he can't change who he is, which makes his father say he's delusional for thinking the way he does. His parents say that he must go to therapy, but Scott refuses and tells them that everyone at school knows and is okay with it, making them upset that other parents know they have a gay son. After Scott refuses yet again to go to therapy, his father tells him to get out of the house because he's filthy and disgusting. Scott starts to cry and begs his mother to not disown him, but she backs away as his father calls him a faggot and tells him to pack his stuff. They both leave the room and Scott's legs give out in heartbreak and disbelief as he continues to sob alone, abandoned by his parents.

He is next seen on a park bench with suitcases and calls Dex, but only gets a voicemail made by Eliza, causing him to cry harder since Dex's voice was the only thing he wanted to hear. He calls Angel and tells her he has no home and asks if he can stay with her. She tells him she's on her way to pick him up and tells him everything will be okay, but Scott says it won't be this time before laying down in misery on the bench, feeling completely alone. He walks into school the next day with Angel and everyone wants to try and console him after hearing about what happened, but Angel tells them to give him some space and Scott asks if he's going to have to explain it to everyone now over and over again. She tells him he doesn't have to tell anyone anything he doesn't want to and he thanks her for the help again. Scott sees Keith coming and warns Angel to leave since this could get ugly. Keith says he heard what happened and says he never meant for that to happen. Scott says he doesn't believe him because he knew this was going to happen.

Scott is later one of the few people who welcome Ethan back after his time spent in juvey and gives him a hug. The next day, he gets out of the shower and Angel asks him what he thinks about Keith, feeling insecure about herself after planning revenge on Keith with Olivia. Scott says he doesn't hate Keith as much as she might think. He says that he doesn't have to worry about him anymore since he's cut out of his life and isn't going to try and get him back because he cares more about what people think of him as a person rather than getting revenge. This causes Angel to stop her revenge plot on Keith. Dex comes and knocks on the door frame as they are both shocked to see him. He asks if he can talk to Scott alone and then sits next to him, saying he's sorry for ditching him because of Eliza. Scott says he was mad at Dex for a long time, but now all he wants is for him to be back in his life. Dex quickly hugs Scott. Scott immediately hugs back tightly and looks relieved to finally have him back in his life. They then head out to hang out unbeknownst to Eliza and make up for lost time.

Eliza unhappily agrees, but tells them not to goof off the whole time because he really needs help, and they agree. They are in the library studying and Dex thanks him for the help, bringing up how he has to get his shit together for college. Scott mentions how it'll be weird not having him around next semester when he graduates, but Dex promises they'll still hang out. Dex then hugs him goodbye and leaves as Moon comes and tells Scott he seems back to normal with Dex. Scott agrees and mentions that he feels responsible for Dex's disastrous relationship with Eliza since he was the one to introduce them to each other. He says that if he were a good friend, he'd help get him out of the toxic relationship he's in, but Moon warns him that his plan can only end badly and he shouldn't butt in where he doesn't belong. Scott says as his best friend, he has to help him.

Scott asks if he's ever thought about dumping her which annoys Dex who then asks if they can just work on his homework.

Scott says they're just friends, but Eliza brings up that Scott is in love with him. Scott says that he used to be, but that doesn't make it right what she did to him involving Dex and separating them or how she treats Dex. She doesn't know what he's talking about, so Scott tells her that she abuses him physically and emotionally and the only reason no one sees it is because the girl is the one abusing the guy and society is sexist. She denies hurting Dex, but Scott says he's seen her slap him and says it might not leave a scar on his skin, but leaves one on his brain and misses when she wasn't a terrible human being. He then leaves and she is shocked.

Seconds later, Sophie walks by and Eliza starts an argument with her, which Scott tries to break up. After things get physical and Eliza starts to attack Sophie, Scott and Dex both grab her and pull her off of Sophie. He later walks in on Eliza and Brendan making out and immediately freaks out. Eliza and Brendan try to calm him down, but he just keeps screaming and runs out of the room. Eliza chases after him and Scott tells her how gross that was. Eliza reminds him that they've been friends for a decade and that he can't tell Dex, but Scott reminds her how she's treated him like shit for months and asks why he would ever keep that secret from his best friend. Eliza sees a chance for manipulation and tells him Dex is replacing him as his best friend with Brendan, angering Scott. She also reminds him how messed up Dex is and if Scott told him, it would only make things worse. Scott asks why she did it in the first place then and Eliza dodges the question, so Scott says he won't tell Dex as long as Eliza ends things with either Dex or Brendan ASAP. They then shake on it and Scott asks if Dex has been hanging out with Brendan when he says he's been hanging out with Eric and Eliza lies and says that he has. Scott then gets discouraged about how everyone always leaves him for someone better, so Eliza apologizes for everything she's done to him lately. Scott doesn't accept it, but just says again how he can't believe he's hiding this from Dex. He then warns her that if he ever finds out, Scott will be by his side in a heartbeat over her's. He then leaves, frazzled and upset.

He later goes to get coffee with Eliza, who comments about how she misses when they used to hang out, trying yet again to manipulate him into hating Dex and coming back onto her side. When Dex walks in with Brendan, Scott gets very upset, so Eliza tells him to stick up for himself and not be a doormat anymore, adding fuel to Scott's fire.

Dex asks if Scott is mad at him and asks why, so Scott says that he is and tells him to look to his left, referring to Brendan. He then storms out.

In Heaven Knows, Eric bumps into Scott and Scott sees that he's visibly upset, asking if it's about Abby's imprisonment. Eric says that is it and feels guilty since she's in there because of him. Scott says that it's not his fault and he shouldn't be so hard on himself. They bump into Eliza and Dex and when Dex tries to talk to Scott, Scott ignores him and walks away. Sensing something is wrong, Eric follows him and asks what's up with him and Dex. Scott responds by explaining the Brendan situation. When Eric asks if he's going to forgive him, Scott asks why he should. Eric agrees he shouldn't and points out that they're both missing the people who mean the most to them. Scott then suggests that they hang out and get their minds off of everything, which Eric agrees to, pointing out how they've always been good friends, but have never hung out just the two of them. They then start to plan what to do as Dex watches in jealousy. He later hears of a rave going on from Brad and passes on the info to Scott, in which they decide to try one out and go together.

They go to the rave that night and as soon as they walk in, they see people having sex, taking drugs, and being totally crazy. Scott seems very uncomfortable and wonders to Eric if this was such a good idea. Eric suggests they go back to his place and chill, which Scott says is a good idea. Before they can go, Eric bumps into his brother doing a line of cocaine and Scott is shocked. As Eric talks with him, Scott is seen being fondled and flirted with by two women, making him very uncomfortable. He slips away with Eric and they decide to go home, narrowly escaping the police as they raid the place. Scott asks about Eric's brother and shows remorse for how he's acting. Eric then brings up that just because he's friends with Keith doesn't mean he condones what he does, regarding him getting Scott kicked out. Scott says he understands and parallels it to his relationship with Eliza, talking about how he can't ditch her for good since it's against what he believes. Eric then asks about how that works with Dex and Scott mentions how he gives Dex everything and feels like he only gets 50% back. They then agree that life sucks before seeing that Abby got released from juvey. They then rush to go see her. On the way, Eric gets a call saying his brother overdosed on cocaine and when Scott hears, he apologizes and asks why Eric doesn't seem more effected, which Eric replies he's done caring about him. He then asks Scott to keep it between them, which Scott agrees to. He and Eric go to Abby's house and when she opens the door, they both shout "welcome home." Scott says he's glad Abby is back safe and sound before giving them privacy.

He tells Angel that Abby is out of juvey and realizes that something is wrong when they both stare at him. He asks what's wrong and Angel's mother tells him he has until midnight to get his things and move out due to his "drugs." Scott is confused and asks what she's talking about, but Angel plays along with her lie and tells Scott to drop the act because her mom found his drugs. Scott asks what drugs she's talking about, totally lost as her mother tells him he has an hour to leave before walking away. Angel bursts into tears and Scott asks what she did, so she explains her mother found drugs she had on her, so she told them they were Scott's. Scott then freaks out and tells her to tell her mother the truth since she'll understand and he has nowhere else to go. Angel refuses to tell her and Scott tells her that he'll have to sleep on the street. Angel apologizes again before locking herself in her room and leaving Scott to move out. He starts to panic and cry as he tries to figure out what he's going to do.

In Ain't It Fun, he is seen a few hours following the previous episode sitting on a park bench in the middle of the night with a duffel bag of his things trying to get a hold of someone on the phone. He calls Danielle, but gets her voicemail and quickly moves on to calling someone else. After getting voicemails from Caylee and Brittany, he tries to call someone else, but gets a message saying his service has been cancelled due to not lack of payment. In anger, he chucks his phone across the park he's at and lays down on the bench, saying that this is his bed for that night. He then struggles to fall asleep in the cold while looking up at the stars.

He gets to class the next day late and Chloe comments that he smells like he hasn't showered, so he comments that he needs a home in order to shower, which he doesn't have. He then explains how Angel kicked him out and how he had to sleep on a park bench. He then asks Chloe along with Brittany and Alicia if he could spend the night at their houses that night while he tries to figure everything out, but they all come up with excuses, angering Scott who brings up how great it is that they're not there for him even though he is always there for them whenever they need someone. He then leaves class before they can try and comfort him any more. In between classes, he gets to his locker and starts to break down, hiding his face in his locker, but hears Angel calling his name and quickly composes himself. Angel tries to explain herself further, but he doesn't give her the chance and tells her that his life is ruined because of her, but she corrects him and says it's because of Keith. Scott then changes his mind and says his life sucks because he gives everything he can to everyone else, but no one ever returns the favor. He then says that he's over people apologizing but then not showing it after Angel tries to do so, so she asks what she can do to help. He says she can try to not disappoint him like everyone else has, but then says it's too late for that. As the warning bell rings, Scott walks off and Dex walks up to him, mentioning that he heard what happened and is sorry. Dex tries to hug him, but Scott dodges it and says he can't deal with him right now. Dex doesn't understand since they're best friends, but Scott brings up all the bad things Dex has done to him like ditching him for Eliza, befriending Brendan, and talking him him when it's most useful to him. Dex apologizes, but Scott tells him also to prove it. Dex tries to by inviting him a place to stay, but Scott refuses his offer. He then says that no one cares about him and he doesn't care about himself either now, so Dex tells him that he cares about him a lot. Scott then asks why Dex and everyone else treats him like shit and says that he's done with everything and doesn't see a point to anything anymore. Dex says that Scott has him, but Scott comments that he won't if Eliza finds him dangerous to their relationship. He then leaves to find a job leaving Dex upset at where they stand.

Scott is next seen filling out an application for a pizza shop and is recognized by Hank, Keith's ex-boyfriend. They start up a conversation about Keith and Scott tells him how Keith got him kicked out of his house. When Hank asks where he's staying now, Scott says a park bench, alarming Hank who quickly offers him a place to stay. Scott at first seems hesitant because Hank is 20, but seems more interested after Hank leaves him his number and reminds him that they both share being screwed over by Keith. He goes to the hub with Eric, Abby, and Sophie and mentions that he might sleep at the school when Abby asks. Sophie says he should tell Mrs. Dayton, the guidance counselor, about his problem, but Scott says she'll put him in a group home and wants to figure it out himself. He asks if any of them would let him stay over for the night, but they all refuse. Sophie then gives him money for him to go get her a coffee, which Scott does with annoyance. At the counter, he is greeted by Keith who comes in. Scott tells him not to talk to him and when Keith thinks he's mad because Keith rejected him, Scott very loudly and sarcastically exclaims that that's why he's mad, because he got rejected by "Mr. Fuckboy." Eric tells Keith to leave after people start to watch them, but Scott says he'll leave instead. On his way out, he bumps into Olivia and tells her that he's fine even though it's apparent he isn't.

Later that night, Scott is walking through the hallways at school with all of his things and sees Eliza, explaining that he's sleeping at the school that night. Eliza tells him to stop being stubborn and forgive Dex so he has a place to stay, but Scott refuses to let him get off easy after everything he's done. Eliza blames herself for making Dex choose between her and Scott (leaving out how she recently pitted him against Dex under false pretenses) and Scott brings up how Dex chose Eliza in that situation. She then apologizes for everyone that has hurt him, but tells him he has to accept help from somebody and doesn't have to deal with everything alone. She then leaves and Scott chases after her, asking if he can use her phone. He calls someone and asks them if he can stay with them. Eliza smiles, believing it's Dex, but in the next scene, it's shown that he was actually talking to Hank, getting picked up by him and driven to his house. Once in Hank's car, Hank hugs Scott out of nowhere and sniffs his hair, freaking Scott out. Hank then tells Scott they'll have to share a bed since he only has one, which freaks Scott out even more. Hank says that they're going to have a lot of fun together as he strokes Scott's thigh and drives off, leaving Scott feeling very uncertain and scared of what he's getting himself into.

In Bad Blood, Scott notices Danielle looks annoyed when she walks into class and asks if something is wrong, which she says there isn't. She then asks if he has somewhere to stay. which he tells her he does. He then asks her about her struggles, wanting to focus on someone else's rather than his own for a change. She talks about how she really doesn't like her mother's boyfriend and Scott tries to get her to give him a chance because her mom deserves to be happy.

In Glory and Gore, Scott comes to his door one night after Hank says someone is there to see him. He sees it's Dex and is shocked to see him at his new place with Hank. Dex expresses his concern over Hank's age, but Scott tells him he's only 19 and has been through hell because of Keith as well, so they understand each other. Dex asks if he'd rather stay with someone he knows, but Scott says that Hank doesn't make him pay rent and now that he has a job at the pizza shop, he can save up for a place of his own and move out soon anyways. Dex apologizes for how he acted and says he wants to be best friends again, but Scott is still unsure about how he feels about the situation. Dex then brings out a picture frame from behind his back and reveals it's a photo from Scott's 15th birthday party, the first time they ever hung out, and tells Scott he has that sitting on his nightstand, which shocks Scott. Dex explains that he knows he messes up sometimes, but that Scott is the most important person in his life, even over Eliza and his family after Scott asks. Scott then caves and admits that Dex is his #1 and he was just nervous to forgive him in fear he would just treat him like shit all over again. They agree to become best friends again and hug after Dex says he needs one from him. As they hug, Dex kisses Scott on the forehead as Hank watches from the window looking angry. Dex then brings up that Scott has always been there for him and it's his turn to return the favor, making Scott feel guilty since he is still keeping the secret of Eliza's affair from him.

At school the next day, they are walking together and walk into Eliza, who is shocked to see them on speaking terms again. Scott comments that they're best friend goals and Dex mentions that he and Dex tell each other everything unlike other friendships they have, making Eliza worried about her secret. After Dex hugs Scott and leaves, Eliza asks if Scott told Dex about her affair, which Scott says he hasn't.

The next day, Scott finally decides to tell Dex about Brendan and Eliza's affair. When he does, Dex is furious and Scott feels like a horrible friend for going against Eliza, but says he'd also be a horrible friend for keeping it from Dex. Dex then angrily goes searching for Eliza as Scott tries to stop him and say how mad she'll be if she finds out Scott told him. Dex doesn't listen and Scott awkwardly listens to their fight as Eliza brings him into it saying he only knows how to be a bad friend. Dex sticks up for him as Scott doesn't know how to react to what's going on. After Dex breaks up with Eliza, she looks for retribution by telling Dex that Scott is in love with him, mentioning how Scott follows him around like a puppy and saying she kept that secret because she was a good friend unlike Scott. Scott is completely blindsided and embarrassed, quickly turning red and telling her to shut up. When Dex asks if it's true, he can't form a response and says "fuck you" to Eliza before running off in shame. Dex finds him later on and asks if he can sit next to him, which Scott replies that he can if he wants. Scott then tries to apologize, but Dex cuts him off, saying he never would have kissed Scott if he had known how he felt. Scott then corrects that he kissed him twice and Dex says he's okay with how Scott feels, but is worried about things becoming uncomfortable between them. Scott then explains that he doesn't feel that way about Dex anymore, but goes over how he fell for him in the first place and how Eliza interrupted that. Dex apologizes for causing him so much pain, but Scott says he shouldn't feel sorry for his stupid feelings. Dex then says that they're not stupid before leaning in to kiss him, only to be interrupted by Sophie, who came to warn Dex that Eliza is telling people he's gay for Scott, believing it to be only a rumor, but now seeing it's not. Scott covers for him by saying Dex is just trying to make him feel better, so Sophie leads them to continue their conversation, but first gives Scott a high-five, embarrassing him even more. Dex says he wasn't kissing him just because he felt sorry for him, but Scott stands and says they're better as friends and can't be anything more because they both know Scott would be the one getting hurt in the end. Dex takes his hand and asks for him to stay, but Scott leaves to process everything that just happened.

In With Every Heartbeat, he wakes up to Hank singing him happy birthday and putting a cupcake on his chest. Scott is confused how Hank even knew it was his birthday and Hank explains he saw on facebook. Scott then blows out his candle and refuses to tell Hank what he wished for since then it wouldn't come true. Hank understands and suddenly kisses Scott, throwing him off guard. He then starts to make out with him as Scott doesn't reciprocate and looks very uncomfortable. Hank pulls away and looks hurt that Scott isn't into it, asking what's wrong. Scott says that nothing is wrong and realizes he can't ruin things at his new home, so he brings Hank in and starts to make out with him very heavily. When Hank starts to stroke Scott's inner thighs, he looks very uneasy, but continues to keep Hank happy. Hank stops him and says he has to go to work, but says he has a special surprise for him that night, running his hands down Scott's chest and insinuating it's something sexual. Hank leaves as Scott looks very confused and worried, taking a bite of the cupcake, but not liking it and putting it on the dresser.

He comes into school late and sees many of his friends at his locker waiting for him for his birthday. Abby asks where he was first period and he explains that the ovens broke at work so he had to go in and help fix it. Dex then wishes him happy birthday and everyone else follows suit. He thanks them and says he's surprised they remembered, noting that Hank even remembered. Danielle then notices that Scott has a hickey and asks where it's from. Scott quickly covers it and goes to his locker to distract attention from it. When Jamie and Caylee press for him to reveal who it's from, he says it's from Hank and tells them that he's not with him, but Hank thinks that he is, so he's going along with it to avoid being put back on the streets. His friends all start to speak their disapproval of what he's doing and when Angel brings up how weird he is and suggests he might rape Scott, Scott tells her he wouldn't be in this situation if it wasn't for her, causing her to angrily walk away. Scott then apologizes to everyone for his behavior and explains he just has a lot on his plate and can't focus on his birthday, but appreciates their wishes, saying he loves them all. Everyone leaves except for Eric, Abby, and Dex who continue to worry about the situation he's in. He assures them all he's okay before hugging them all and leaving for class. Dex and the other two then agree they have to do something to help him.

He sees Keith in the hallway and asks if Hank is dangerous, reminding him that he wouldn't come to him if he wasn't desperate. Keith refuses to help him, saying that Scott got himself kicked out of his house and doesn't owe him anything. Scott asks how he got himself kicked out and Keith explains that if Scott were a good boyfriend, Keith wouldn't have had to tell his parents about them. Scott notes that they never even dated officially, so Keith says he doesn't feel bad leaving him. After Keith leaves, Scott looks upset and hopeless about his new-found nervousness about Hank. Peyton overhears their conversation and offers her help to him, noting she's done a lot of background checks in the past and can do one on Hank. Scott thanks her for her help, but she says this is her birthday gift to him, going off to do her work and winking at him, causing Scott to feel much more relieved over the situation. He sits down on a bench to ponder what's going on and Danielle comes to sit with him. He tells her his moral dilemma of how he thinks Hank wants to have sex with him and that he doesn't want to, but is afraid that if he doesn't, Hank will kick him out. Danielle tells him how disgusting that is and asks if he's ready to have sex. Scott says that he is if it were to be with someone he loved, but he has no feelings for Hank. Danielle suggests he clear things up with Hank and say he just wants to be friends, but Scott is worried that might get him kicked out too. Danielle says she won't judge him if he fucks Hank just to have a place to stay, but warns him that other people will if they find out. Scott agrees and says this is a test of how much self-respect he has for himself. Danielle tells him that he'll do whatever is the right thing and hugs him, leaving just as Eliza comes and tells him that she forgives him for telling Dex about her affair. Scott points out that he did the right thing and doesn't need to be forgiven for it. Eliza then accuses him of breaking up every relationship around him because of his jealousy and loneliness, bringing up how he did it with Sadie and now with her. This causes Scott to lose his shit, pointing out what a terrible person she is and how bad of a friend she was to him, saying he is completely done with her shit and everyone else's. He storms off leaving Eliza looking furious.

Back at Hank's apartment that night, they are watching TV together when Hank starts to touch Scott's leg and kissing him, saying how hot he is. He then unzips Scott's pants and inserts his hand into Scott's underwear, saying he wants to see what he's packing in there. Scott is very uncomfortable and pushes Hank off of him after Hank says he's hung. He very carefully tells Hank that he barely knows him and isn't ready to have sex yet with him. Hank is completely okay with it to Scott's amazement and says they can hold off until he is ready. Hank then brings up the surprise he mentioned earlier and brings Scott into the garage where there is a new car for him. Scott is completely astonished and asked how much he paid for it, not expecting to get anything from Hank. Hank doesn't answer the question and goes to get his jacket so they can go on a test drive. Scott immediately calls Danielle when Hank is gone and says he's in deeper than he thought, saying how Hank got him a car and he can't possibly leave him now.

Scott starts to get impatient and suddenly hears the song "Birthday" by Katy Perry, getting very confused. After Dex says he can open his eyes, he sees Dex holding two Katy Perry concert tickets, causing Scott to freak out, not believing they're real at first. Scott jumps up and down in excitement and tells Dex he loves him, hugging him and making Dex laugh. Scott then points out that Dex doesn't even like Katy Perry, but Dex said watching Scott see his queen perform will be hilarious to watch and worth it. Scott says that he can't believe Dex would do this for him and Dex comments that after all the bullshit he's been through lately, he deserves this.

At the first hole, Scott mentions that he has no idea what he's doing, so Dex starts helping him by re positioning his hands on the club, making Brad and Troy smile since they believe Dex likes Scott back. Dex quickly lets go of Scott's hands and lets Scott try it, who gets a hole in one. When Troy tells Scott he just has beginner's luck, Scott says his teacher is just really good and high-fives Dex. After golf, Dex walks Scott to his apartment, mentioning that with the crazy person stalking Abby, who knows what he wants. Scott thanks him for tonight and says that he had fun even though he sucked. Dex mentions they should do things like that again and Scott asks if he means going to couple's nights at places and pretending to be a couple to get a discount. Scott then says he's happy they're friends again and Dex tries to apologize for his actions again, but Scott says it's in the past now and asks how he's been doing since the breakup. Dex says he's been doing better, which makes Scott happy who says he hates seeing Dex upset. Dex says he should be getting home and they start to reach out for a hug, but suddenly, both lean in for a kiss and start to make out. Scott quickly stops it, saying Hank might see and get upset since he thinks they're a couple. He then says that Dex doesn't feel that way about him, but Dex admits that he doesn't know how he feels anymore.

Scott specifies he's not his boyfriend and says that he went off with old friends, asking Dex if he's having a good time. Dex says that he hasn't danced with anybody yet and wants Scott to change that, so Scott says it'd be his honor. They then start to slow dance and Scott mentions that they'd better be careful or people will start making gay jokes about them, but Dex says he doesn't care. Scott mentions that he saw Dex talking with Eliza and asks how that went. Dex says he's not giving her any more of his time and Scott says that's good because she doesn't deserve it for what she did to him. Dex brings up what she did to Scott as well and Scott once again says it's in the past and they can move on now. Dex says he can't because he wonders what would have happened if he had figured out who was the right one for him to begin with, implying that person is Scott. Scott is shocked by Dex's statement, but Hank comes up to them before he can react. Hank pulls Scott away to introduce him to some of his old friends, but Scott can't stop looking at Dex, shocked that Dex might have real feelings for him.

Jamie walks up to Scott later on and asks how serious he is with Hank. Scott says not at all and is expecting her to judge him for faking a relationship with him just to have a place to stay, but Jamie says she understands he's only doing what he has to do to get by. Scott says he feels like a shitty person, but Jamie corrects him by saying he's a good person who has shitty things happen to him. Scott asks her if she's having a good night, but she moves on and tells him she saw him and Dex dancing, asking what that's about. Scott says he thinks Dex might have feelings for him and isn't sure if that's a good thing or not. Jamie says that Dex is the love of his life and Scott doesn't argue with it, but says that now the idea of them being together is a possibility, he's scared to death that if they dated, they would soon break up and not speak anymore. He says he'd rather be best friends than date for a while and end up hating each other. He also brings up that he knows Dex cares a lot about his image and masculinity and wouldn't want to keep it a secret like he thinks Dex would if they got together. Jamie says he needs to stop worrying and just be happy, but Scott says he doesn't know what makes him happy anymore before leaving again with Hank.

In Mad World, Scott is one of the few people throwing flowers on Abby's grave with her parents at her funeral and sadly does so. When Eric says she didn't deserve this, Scott says she obviously didn't and leads Sophie away to check on Danielle so Eric can have some alone time with Abby's parents.

Dex leaves to get water and Eric immediately tells Scott to be with him if he loves him and now knows not to skip out on anything you love because life is too short.

Scott gives him a hug and Eric starts to cry into Scott's shoulder.

In Glitter in the Air, he is seen walking into Bubble with Hank, upsetting Keith. He is later seen after school with Hank and a few of his other friends as Hank explains that someone crashed into his car. Scott is shocked and upset that someone would do that just as Keith drives up to the school in his car which is wrecked. Chloe points it out and Hank gets very upset, knowing Keith must have been the one to crash into his car. Scott tries to calm him down, but Hank goes after Keith and everyone follows. When Keith admits to crashing into his car because he's bored, Scott says it was because Hank was dating Scott and he wanted revenge.As everyone starts bashing Keith, he says that Scott shouldn't be treated as the victim when he starts everything, which Scott is surprised to hear and thinks it ridiculous. Keith goes on about all the stuff Scott did to him, but Scott retorts by going over everything Keith did to him and because of him, he hates living anymore. Scott then tells him that he's done caring about him at all and that he can rot in hell for all he cares. Keith suddenly snaps and slaps Scott across the face extremely hard, sending Scott to the ground in shock. Everyone is shocked by Keith's action and out of nowhere, Dex comes and decks Keith so hard in the face that he instantly gets knocked out. Dex and Hank then start to argue over Scott and almost start to fight, but Scott gets up and stops it as Principal Hanson comes over and tells everyone to get into his office. On the way, Scott smiles at Dex and mouths the words "thank you" to him, which Hank sees and is upset by.

In the office, Keith finally wakes up and Hanson asks why the fight went down, so Scott says it's because Keith is a psychopathic maniac. He then explains everything Keith has done to him to Hanson and Keith's parents and reveals that he crashed his car into Hank's. Keith explains that he hates Scott because his parents loved him and spent time with him and that's all he ever wanted, which is why he got satisfaction of getting Scott's parents to hate him. Keith starts getting sympathy for people after a heartfelt speech to his parents and Scott quickly squashes it by saying he doesn't get sympathy after everything he's done and that he will never forgive him for how badly he's screwed up his life.

When Hank mentions Dex as one of the members, Scott is silent for a moment before agreeing with him. Hank then tells Scott he doesn't want him hanging around Dex anymore now that he knows Scott used to have feelings for him just like Dex does now. Scott is angry, saying that Dex is his best friend, but Hank says that they have Gossip Girl and Scott reluctantly texts Danielle telling her he can't come and why. He then texts Dex directly and apologizes for not coming, but Dex is angry and responds with "whatever." The next day at school, Scott apologizes again in person to Dex, who sarcastically says he wouldn't want to upset his boyfriend. Scott reminds him that he has to have a place to stay and wants to talk in private about matters that they have yet to discuss. Dex refuses and says he doesn't have anything to say to Scott, upsetting him. Dex then says he can't look at Scott without feeling like the biggest idiot in the world and walks away, making Scott feel horrible. Brittany walks by and notices the fight, offering Scott some advice by saying she knows he's still in love with Dex and he should stop torturing himself and just admit it. Scott says he'd rather have Dex in his life as a friend than nothing at all and knows they wouldn't work out as a couple. Brittany says they might end up happily married but he'll never know if he doesn't give it a shot. Scott admits the thought of them together when they're fifty makes him tingle and Brittany tells him to man up, so Scott is then seen trying to gather courage to come out with the truth.

At lunch, Scott witnesses Dex sticking up for him when Eliza starts talking shit and smiles. When Dex and Eliza notice he's there, Eliza leaves and Scott takes her seat, thanking Dex for sticking up for him. Dex says that he will until the day he dies and Scott tells him how much he misses him, asking if they can start talking again. Dex says that he can't trust himself around him despite knowing they're better off as friends. Scott then admits he can't be just friends with him anymore and Dex invites him over after school so they can talk everything over. Later that day, they sit in awkward silence on Dex's porch. Scott mentions that he hates how awkward things are now and misses when they were fun, so Dex mentions that a lot has happened since then. Scott apologizes for embarrassing him in front of everyone when he shot him down at the dance and Dex says it's fine if he doesn't feel that way back. Scott admits that he does feel that way, but he can't let Hank know since Hank thinks Scott is in love with him. Dex admits he should have let Scott stay with him, but was still trying to figure out his feelings and sleeping in the same room felt weird. Scott says that he understands and mentions he can move out soon with the money he's made from his job. Dex apologizes for choosing Eliza over him all those times and Scott says it's okay since he was in love with her. Dex corrects him and tells him he was only ever in love with one person and he's with him now. This makes Scott blush and stand up, saying they need to have fun again like old times. They then decide to go night swimming in Dex's pool and get into their boxers. They fight about who should go in first and Dex pushes Scott in, making them both laugh. Dex jumps in and they chase each other in the water for a bit until Scott finally catches him, wrapping his hands around his neck. Dex turns around as Scott is still wrapped around him and they look into each other's eyes, saying how perfect this is. Scott then kisses him and they start to make out as Dex presses Scott up against the side of the pool. Scott lets out a sob, which scares Dex who asks what's wrong. Scott admits he's just really happy and tells Dex he loves him. Dex starts saying he loves Scott too and has wanted to say that for so long. Dex grabs Scott's face and makes out with him as they both laugh with giddy of finally getting together. Dex then grabs Scott's torso and wraps his legs around Dex's body as they continue to make out in the pool.

The next morning, he's back at home with Hank and making breakfast, much to Hank's surprise. Hank points out that there has to be a reason for it since Scott hates cooking and Hank then sees a text Scott gets from Dex saying "have you told him yet ;)." Hank asks what Dex means and Scott starts apologizing, making Hank realize what's going on. Scott says that he's going to move out, but Hank tells him to keep the apartment because he's done with Clearwater. He then tells Scott he's just as bad as Keith even though he acts like a saint, headed for the door. He tells Scott not to be there that night so he can get his things and tells Scott goodbye. Dex then calls and comforts Scott who starts to believe he really is as bad as Keith. Dex then tells him he has a surprise for him at school and Scott is excited. At school, they wear shirts that say "mine" and point to each other as a way to come out as a couple to everyone. People are excited and cheer for them as they look truly happy..

In Dream Catcher, he and Dex are helping Jamie and Julia move into their apartment after getting kicked out of Jamie's house. Scott says how surprised he is that happened, but explains how they basically started World War 3 at school. He then offers them support along with Dex.

In Ultraviolence, he is informed by Alicia that Eliza told the whole school Dex got her pregnant, but she aborted the baby because he abused her. Infuriated over this, Scott immediately finds Dex to talk about it. He tells him that he can't believe he got her pregnant and forces him to discuss this with him when Dex initially doesn't want to. Scott asks if Dex knew he got her pregnant and Dex yells back that he didn't, scaring Scott who tells him to stop yelling. After Dex brings up how she's twisting the story, Scott brings up how she was the one who abused him, upsetting Dex even more. Scott then asks why they didn't just use a condom, but Dex doesn't want to think about the "what ifs." This causes Scott to say that he didn't sign up to date someone who just knocked a girl up, but Dex retorts by saying he didn't sign up to be that person either. Dex then tells Scott to leave since everyone probably will and leaves Scott with a tough decision.

Peyton and Wyatt later approach him at his locker and are worried about him due to everything going on, but Scott tells them not to worry about him since they don't know the full story. They both then try to convince Scott to leave him, believing what Eliza said about Dex abusing her and warning him abusive relationships are dangerous. Not wanting to deal with the lies anymore, Scott angrily slams his locker and furiously approaches Eliza, saying that she's going to tell everyone the truth. Eliza begs to differ and Scott explains that Dex is contemplating leaving school and she's taken this too far. Eliza replies by saying she doesn't feel bad for Scott since he was the one who outed her cheating, but Scott reminds her that he was the one who introduced Eliza to Dex in the first place and she owes him. He asks her one more time to tell the truth and end the drama, but she refuses to due to her reputation. Moon and Jamie overhear and quickly come to Scott's side. Together, the three of them threaten to oust all of her dirty laundry, reminding her of all the dirt they have on her. Eliza finally gives up and tweets that Dex never abused her, making Scott happy.

They then go separate ways and are confident that if Eliza comes after them, they have plenty of ammo.

Scott rushes home and sees Dex packing all of his things. Dex says that he's moving out and understands why Scott would leave him since he's so pathetic. Scott apologizes for what he said earlier and explains he was just shocked, but that Dex shouldn't be so hard on himself since everyone makes mistakes. Scott tells Dex how much he loves him and asks him not to move out, telling him he's not breaking up with him. Dex is elated to hear that and runs over to Scott, kissing him and apologizing again.

Scott kneels in front of Dex and says he just wants to help him, asking if he wants to move back home after mentioning he barely sees his family.

In Cool For the Summer, Scott comes back from work looking exhausted and greet Dex with a kiss. When Dex asks him how his shift was, Scott says he's excited for school to start back up so he can quit doing 10 hour work days. He notices the art Dex is working on and commends him for how great it is. When Dex doubts his abilities, Scott tells him how great of an artist is. He then shows him his latest paycheck, which Dex is shocked by because of how much it is. Dex hugs him and says that he should be working, Scott tells him he wanted Dex to take the summer to perfect his art in order to be accepted into a great school for it. Dex thanks him for letting him do that and says he sees how exhausted Scott is from working as hard as he is. Scott says he wants to do something special with his day off the next day and use some of the extra cash he got to get new outfits for the Katy Perry concert they have the next day. Dex says that sounds perfect and Scott tells him to finish his work while he takes a shower. Dex jokes that he wants to take one too and they both laugh as they head for the bathroom together.

The next day, they are shopping for clothes and Dex comes out of a fitting room in a very flashy outfit, which Scott is shocked to see him in. Dex says that it isn't him, but Scott says that if he likes it, he should get it. Danielle's mother, Mary-Beth, calls Scott's name, and he is very excited to see her. He tells her it's been so long since he's seen her and she asks him about his parents, telling him she's sorry. He tells her he's over it and notices Dex standing and watching them awkwardly. He introduces Dex to her, saying she's his second mom. Mary-Beth asks if he used to date the girl with the red hair, meaning Eliza, and Scott states that was before he knew he was gay. Dex corrects Scott and tells him he's not gay. Scott seems very confused and Mary-Beth awkwardly leaves them. After she's gone, Scott asks him why he didn't tell her he was gay. Dex tells him it's because he's not. Scott asks if he should have said he was bi, but Dex tells him he's straight. Scott gets very confused and Dex asks him how he didn't know that. Scott admits he doesn't understand and Dex explains that he's attracted to girls only, but he fell in love with Scott. Scott says that's different, and Dex asks him if that's okay with him, which Scott says it is, but by the look on his face is not at all.

Scott and Dex are later having coffee with Eric and Peyton and Scott tells Peyton the concert tickets were the best birthday gift ever when she asks if he's excited for the concert. Dex kisses his cheek and goes to the bathroom and the second he is out of earshot, Scott tenses up and tells Eric and Peyton he needs their help. He explains how Dex told him he identifies as straight, and Eric is confused and thinks he should at least consider himself bi since he's dating a guy. Peyton explains that she's heard of people who are straight, but fall for one person of the same sex, but it never happens again. Eric asks Scott if he's okay with that, and Scott seems unsure, worried Dex might fall for a girl again and leave Scott since it would be way easier to just be with a girl rather than him. Eric assures him that Dex is head over heels for him. Peyton tells him he needs to talk to Dex about it now before it starts to gnaw at him and Eric and Peyton immediately leave as Dex comes back, forcing Scott to talk to Dex about it. Dex is confused when he gets back and sees the other two gone, and Scott says that something came up. He then asks if they can talk about something and says he doesn't understand how Dex can identify as straight while being with a man. Dex explains that he's never felt anything for a guy other than him. Scott asks how he knows he feels something for him at all, which Dex responds that he just does. Scott asks why he doesn't just be with a girl and make his life easier, but Dex says he'd rather be with him. Scott admits that it'd be easier if Dex were just bi, which upsets Dex who thinks Scott wants him to change himself just to make Scott happy. Scott tells him that's not what he means, but Dex says that in relationships, you have to love everything about the other person, not just pick and choose. Scott says this is just new to him and he needs time to process, but Dex gets upset because he gave up so much to be with Scott. Scott gets upset and tells Dex to go be with a girl and get pussy like he really wants instead of wasting his time with a guy. Dex says that he will and slams the concert tickets on the table before walking out, leaving Scott very upset.

Later that night, Scott is at the Katy Perry concert with Danielle, who is having a great time and dancing while Katy sings "Teenage Dream." Danielle thanks him for bringing her and notices that Scott doesn't seem very happy to be there at all. Danielle tells him that she knows he'd much rather be there with Dex, but to try and have a good time. Scott asks how he can have a good time when he and Dex might break up over this. Danielle explains that if he breaks up with Dex over this, he's a dumbass since Dex chose to be with him over a girl for a reason. She also says that he saw how hurt he was for so long because of the feelings he had for Dex, so now that he has him, he should never let him go. Scott jokes that Dex can get it up with him, so he must be attracted to him. They laugh and Scott admits he shouldn't have been so stupid and Danielle mentions that if Scott could get over Dex possibly having an aborted baby with his enemy, they can get through this. She tells him to stop being a sad sack and to dance with her, which Scott does.

After the concert, Scott gets home and crawls into bed next to Dex. Dex asks how the concert was and Scott says it would have been better with him there and apologizes, saying he was right about everything. Dex admits he should have told him sooner, but Scott says it's okay and that he expects everyone to leave him, so he was pushing him away so it wasn't harder later on. Dex rubs Scott's arm and explains that he's never going to leave him because he's never felt a love like this and is willing to give every piece of himself to Scott just to make him whole again. Scott says he just wants Dex to be happy and isn't sure being with a guy will make him happy. Dex tells him that Scott has gotten him through everything and he wants to be with him until he dies.

They then cuddle and go to bed.

She tells him that she wants to be that girl again and orders them drinks, in which Scott is shocked that she remembers his favorite. She asks him how things are with Dex and he asks if she really wants him to answer that question. She says they can leave him out of the conversation and he asks about her homeschooling. She then asks if he would tutor her, and he tells her that he can't because he's working 50 hours a week and has no time to commit to something else. Eliza tells him that she thought he wanted to fix things between them, and he explains that just because he can't tutor her, doesn't mean that's not true. Eliza gets up and says that she tried and Scott apologizes, but she refuses the apology and when Zak delivers their drinks, she tells him that Scott will pay for them and leaves.

Scott later walks up to Angel and asks if she's ready to rock their English assignment. She's not into it and when he asks her what's up, she explains that she feels like she's being ditched by her best friend. Scott tells her that he knows how that feels, but most of the time, the other person doesn't even realize they're doing it. He asks if this has to do with Danielle, and when she says yes, he reassures her that she's just busy with the election, but that doesn't mean she doesn't still want to be best friends. Angel mentions that she's hanging out with Lana 24/7, and Scott tells her it's because they're running partners and that Angel should talk to Danielle about how she feels and to cut her some slack.

In Ex's and Oh's, Scott, Eric, and Sophie try to be there for Peyton following her being exposed as being a helper in Clearwater Secrets and being shut out by Danielle.

Scott senses something is wrong and asks for Dex to just tell him. Dex explains that they're entering dangerous territory since they've been living together for four months and haven't had sex yet. He says he doesn't want to do anything that Scott isn't ready for, explaining that he's been ready, but once they go there, they can't ever go back. Scott assures him that he's ready and there's no one else he'd rather have his first time with. Dex says he wants it to be perfect and Scott says that if it's with him, it will be and tells him he's been so bust with work and school, he wants more time with just Dex. Dex then brings up the blowjob, which makes Scott laugh as they go under the covers.

Scott offers to pick up less hours, but isn't sure how they'll make the rent each month. Scott then gets very emotional and tells Dex not to leave because he needs him, which frustrates Dex who feels like he's being pulled in many directions.

Dex later returns the next day and finds Scott sitting in silence. Scott explains he's thinking of a way to make money without working and Dex tells him not to quit his job. Dex apologizes for not realizing everything Scott was doing for him and giving up for him, which makes Scott feel slightly better. Dex apologizes for being a jerk and taking out his homesickness on him. Scott asks why he doesn't just go home more often, and Dex explains he wanted to believe he was adult enough to live on his own, but knows now he's not. Scott tells him that he always tries to act like a manly man who can take care of everything himself, but it's okay to not be that guy sometimes. Dex says that when Scott is at work, Dex will go home and see his family, which makes Scott happy. Dex tells Scott that he makes him happier than anything in the world and kisses Scott, who then tells Dex he's so happy he didn't lose his virginity to Hank or someone he doesn't even know anymore because he knows Dex is his guy and the only person he wants to lose it to.

They meet up with Dex's family who all say hi to him, but then complain to Dex about him being there. When Scott doesn't say the prayers along with the rest of the congregation, it angers Dex's family even more. When Scott doesn't sing the first one, Dex asks if he's going to, and Scott says he doesn't know the song, bringing even more ire to Dex's family.

As they leave the service, Scott mentions how beautiful it was and no one says anything. Dex's family tell them to go back to their apartment and they'll go back home too and Scott thanks them for inviting him. Dex's father scoffs and pushes past Scott, causing Scott to ask what is wrong. Dex's father says everything is dandy, and Scott nervously tells them he'll see them tomorrow. When it comes out that Dex's family did not invite Scott as he thought, Dex's father angrily tells him that he can try to force himself into the family all he wants, but it'll never work since none of them want him in it. Scott is crushed and stands up for his beliefs when Dex's father tells him he's not even Christian. Dex's family leaves and Dex apologizes for what happened but Scott is very embarrassed and upset that Dex lied to him and made Scott look like an idiot. Dex tells him that he didn't have to heart to tell him his family didn't want him for Christmas and says they should go home, but Scott says he can walk and stomps off.

Scott gets home and Dex apologizes again, but Scott said he would have been better off just knowing the truth rather than making himself look like an idiot. Scott asks what Dex is going to do the following day since his family doesn't want Scott there and he's going to have to choose between Scott and his parents. Dex tells him not to make him choose, but Scott reminds him his parents are the ones who are doing that. Scott then breaks down, realizing he may be alone on his favorite holiday and asks Dex to stay with him, reminding him he was alone on Thanksgiving and felt awful about himself. Scott tearfully says he wanted Dex's family to like him, but they already made their minds up. Dex tells Scott that he loves him, and Scott says to stay with him then, causing Dex to cry out of frustration. Scott breaks down and tells Dex that he knows he has a great boyfriend and friends, but can't help but feel alone all of the time and that he doesn't think he's meant to be happy. Dex gets upset because he says he thought that he made him happy, and Scott tells him he does, but it's scary knowing he's the only thing that makes him happy anymore. Dex holds Scott as he cries, and Scott tells him he hates that Dex has to, but he has to make a decision. On Christmas the next morning, Scott sits alone in his apartment and Dex is shown unhappy at his family's house.

In First of the Year, Scott and Dex are at Lana's new year's party and she tells them to go get the rest of the alcohol she got from Adam's car. Scott tells her that he's a shrimp and can't carry all that, and Dex takes him with him anyways. Dex later brings Scott his favorite drink and Scott tells Dex he can stop trying to make up for Christmas, as he understands. Dex agrees, but says he still feels bad and Scott kisses him to make him feel better. Danielle tells them they have to wait until midnight to kiss and pulls Scott away, telling him that she's freaking out since Lana left the party and put Danielle in charge of everything. Scott is confused as to why Lana left her own party and agrees to help Danielle keep things under control, taking the right side of the house to watch over. Scott is shocked to see that Alicia tweeted Chloe's nudes and runs up to stop Chloe from fighting Alicia. Scott tells Alicia to leave the party after everyone boo's her. She gets into Adam's car, which Scott and Dex leave unlocked, and drives away, meaning Scott indirectly caused the hit and run that she would get in which leaves Lana paralyzed. Scott and Dex are seen kissing at midnight.

Season 6[]

In Impossible Year, Scott and Dex rush to the hospital after hearing about Ethan and Lana's accident. They are late and Scott apologizes as he hugs, Ethan, who reminds him not to hug too tight. Scott apologizes and is horrified as he hears the story of what happened from Ethan. Then he, Dex, and Danielle go on a breakfast run for everyone since they're going to be there for a while with Lana still in surgery. Later, after Lana's mother gives them bad news about how terrible her injuries are, Scott holds Peyton as she cries and lays on Dex for support, saying he can't lose another friend this year, reminiscing about Abby's death. Scott is also delighted watching Mr. Stein bitch out Lana's mother when she threatens to sue Ethan. After watching Ethan finally accept his step-father, Scott asks Dex if their kids are going to love them like that one day, and Dex says they would never be embarrassed about them like Ethan was with his two dads. Scott is then elated when Lana is alright, but saddened to learn she'll never walk again.

In Guns For Hands, Scott isn't very pleased to see Eliza back at Clearwater High and discusses with his friends that despite her mental disorder, she can't blame every single thing she did on it and some of them were because she's just a vindictive person, which everyone agrees with except Dex. She later apologizes to Scott, who has a hard time accepting it and is not happy to see her and Dex hugging and making up later on.

In The Sweet Escape, Scott and Dex have sex and after they finish, Scott comments that Dex is good at it. Dex jokes that Scott has given him lots of practice, causing Scott to laugh. Scott tells Dex they'd better get ready if they want to meet their friends at the Hub, but Dex said he's sitting out today. Scott is confused since they go every day, and Dex says that something came up. Initially reluctant to tell him, Dex admits he's going to see Eliza since after everything that's happened, they need closure. Scott doesn't understand why Dex would forgive Eliza after everything she's put them through, and Dex explains he's exhausted with carrying along this grudge. Scott worries that Eliza is going to manipulate him, but Dex assures him he doesn't want to be her best friend, just be on good terms. Scott tells him he doesn't understand and Dex retorts that he doesn't have to and kisses him goodbye as Scott ponders what Eliza could be up to.

At school, Scott and Danielle are walking to class and Danielle asks where Dex was this morning, not buying Scott's excuse that he's studying. Scott tells her the truth and Danielle freezes up when she sees Dex and Eliza looking very friendly as they enter school together. Scott sees and immediately tells Danielle to hold him back, enraged to see them so nonchalant. Scott reiterates that Eliza abused Dex and tried to break them up, and Danielle understands his anger, but warns him that if he says anything, he'll come off as crazy and she'll come off as the victim. Danielle counters that maybe she has changed, but Scott reminds her of her car chase and says she's psycho. Danielle advises him to just bite his tongue until she gives him a reason to pounce and he finally lets up and agrees. Danielle tells him that she'll keep an eye on her and he thanks her, still upset as he watches them together.

After Danielle talks to Eliza and hears she plans to break up Dex and Scott, she calls Scott and fills him in, giving him permission to get involved. Scott enacts a plan to stop Eliza by starting a change.org petition to get her expelled. He meets up with his friends, who are shocked he would do something so badass. Eric is shocked that the petition has 300 signatures already, and when Ethan calls him vicious, Scott says he's just doing what he needs to do. Principal Hanson suddenly approaches Scott, very angry, and brings him into his office where Eliza and her parents are waiting. Scott is shocked she told her parents and Hanson tells Scott to both take the petition down and explain why he's bullying Eliza. Scott explains that if he were bullying, she would have done nothing to warrant the behavior, but then explains all of the things she did to him which led him to fighting back. He tells her that he doesn't care what she does, but once she admits to trying to break him and Dex up again, it gets personal. After Eliza and Scott go back and forth, Hanson breaks it up and tells Scott he has to punish him. Scott finally has had enough and details all of the horrible things he's been through and how he can never catch a break. Eliza apologizes to Scott and says she was never going to break him and Dex up, she just liked the attention because Scott and his friends cancelled her. She tells Hanson not to punish Scott and instead just wants his forgiveness. Scott shockingly tells her no and tells Hanson he will take down the petition before leaving the office.

Scott gets home and Dex is immediately very upset with him because of the petition, saying Eliza has enough going on already. Scott tries to explain that Danielle told him Eliza was going to break him up, but Dex cuts him off and tells him he's so annoying with all of his drama. Scott tells him he was just sending her a message that he wasn't going to let her take Dex away from him. Dex lets him know that Scott doesn't control him and he decides who he's with. He compares Scott's actions to Keith and says the guy he fell in love with wouldn't ever do something like this. Scott says that guy can't exist anymore because he isn't going to let people fuck with him any longer and is disappointed Dex isn't taking his side. Dex says that he wasn't going anywhere, but maybe now he will because of what Scott did. Scott gets very scared and choked up, and Dex tells him to grow up and learn you can't sabotage people to get what you want. Dex tells Scott he's staying with his parents for the night and when Scott asks if he wants to break up, Dex can't give him an answer. Dex then leaves and Scott is devastated, throwing his backpack in frustration and breaking down in tears.

In Just Give Me A Reason, Scott is there for Lana her first day back at school after her accident, now in a wheelchair. He tells her that he knows she doesn't want sympathy, so he's just going to act like nothing is different, which she appreciates. Scott and Dex are seen together with their friends, showing they made up from their fight. When Angel comes and is excited about her date with Tripp, Scott doesn't approve and explains he just broke up with his girlfriend and warns her that these kinds of exciting things can trigger her bipolar, and to be careful. He also agrees that guys can be awful, telling her to take it from one himself.

In Talking Body, Scott is leaving work and sees Keith with Danielle's dad. After her dad leaves, Scott approaches Keith and calls him out for sleeping with him, saying Danielle is gonna flip when she hears this. Keith begs him not to tell Danielle, as he'll ruin everything, but Scott points out that Keith never gave Scott the chance to beg, so why should he care? Keith tells him if he doesn't tell her, he'll leave Clearwater forever and he'll never hear from him again. Scott is shocked and says that Keith must really like him. Scott looks sorry for him and gives in, saying if he never has to see him again, he'll keep his mouth shut. Keith apologizes for everything he's done, since this is the last time they'll see each other. Scott also offers to drop the restraining order so it doesn't stay on his record. Keith is shocked they're actually acting civil, and Scott admits he's realized he has to let things go and move on. They say their goodbyes and Scott wishes Keith luck.

Eliza later visits Scott at his apartment, and he is initially nervous to let her in. Eliza tells him that she's happy that Scott can make Dex happy, since she knows she can't. But she misses when they were friends before either of them dated Dex. She tells him she knows he has no reason to forgive her after everything she did, but her family is finally back together and she's happy and she just wants her best friend back. Scott hugs her and tells her how much he's missed her. She asks if they can never fight again, and he agrees. Dex returns home and joins in on the hug, happy to see them reunited. Scott tells them he squashed his feud with Keith as well, and both are shocked to hear this. Scott admits he was holding on to so much negativity and it was making him just as bad as the people he was hating. Scott apologizes to Dex for being such a drama queen and Dex apologizes for not being supportive. They share a kiss and a passionate hug as Eliza watches, happy that everything is back to normal.

In Me, Myself, & I, Kat enlists Scott and others to help Danielle with the upcoming dance and after seeing Danielle and Brad interact for the first time in a long time, he jokes that first love romances make him melt and she should pounce on him. Danielle is adamant that nothing is going to happen between them, but Scott and the others don't buy it. Scott and Lana are later making a banner when Danielle runs in and ruins it, saying she was running from Brad who was going to ask her to the dance. Scott encourages her again to try it with him, since they were so happy together and just went on different paths for a while. Danielle gets upset and tells them to cut it out, which they agree to do. When she leaves though, Scott and Lana both agree they're going to get back together and high-five.

Scott later is entertained by everyone fighting on twitter after a scandal happens downtown. While on the scaffolding setting up the banner, Danielle almost falls off and catches herself with a rope. Scott, below her, freaks out and struggles to pull a gym mat below her should she fall. Brad comes in and saves her and the end up kissing, much to Scott and Peyton's joy below them.

In Stone Cold, Scott is with Lana and their friends and is very happy to hear someone has come forward with the reward Lana put out about information about the accident. In class, he is happy for Moon when she tells him she has a date coming up and encourages her to go and see how it goes. He is also in Alicia's nightmare where she is arrested in class for the hit-and-run and Scott calls her evil.

In Be Alright, he is driving with Eric, Danielle, and Peyton as they have a sing-along to Fancy. As they pull into Eric's driveway, they see a foreclosed sign and Scott is shocked. After Eric talks to his parents, he tells his friends he's losing his house and Scott asks him where they are going to go, but he is unsure. Scott ends up giving his apartment to Eric and his family for a few days while he stays with Danielle and Dex stays with his parents. The next day, Scott asks how staying at his apartment was and Eric tells him he left a dildo on the dresser, and Scott is very embarrassed, yelling at Dex who he told to put it away. After Victoria shadily offers him a job for money, Scott is sketched out and asks if Eric is actually going to text her about it.

In New Romantics, Scott is getting ready for work and Dex is disappointed that he got called in, but Scott says they really need the money so he has to go in. Scott encourages Dex to go hang out with someone like Eric or Brad since he's been in bed all weekend and asks if he's okay since he's been under the weather for weeks now. Dex says he's fine, he just misses Scott. Scott apologizes but says rent has to get paid and he has to start saving for college. Dex says he understands and tells Scott to have a good shift as Scott kisses him goodbye, getting glum again as he leaves.

At school, Scott is happily surprised to hear Lana's father is back and he jokes that he thought he changed his name and moved to Greenland. When not everyone is sure he's back for good reasons, Scott looks worried for his friend. Scott gets back from work that day and sees a note on his door for a $300 fine for marijuana. Scott walks in to see Dex febreezing and is very upset, saying he doesn't know who Dex is anymore and akss how they are going to pay this. Dex offers to pay it, but Scott says they both know Scott will have to pay it and can't believe Dex would do something so stupid. Dex doesn't understand why Scott is mad, since he's smoked weed too, but Scott explains he didn't do it somewhere he would get fined and makes a remark about Dex never getting a job. Dex gets mad then, since Scott said he didn't have to. Scott explains that he meant that over the summer and is worried for him, since he hasn't applied to colleges or done much art, or done anything. Dex says that maybe he doesn't want to go to college, and Scott says that's fine but he needs some sort of plan and Scott is overwhelmed paying for everything. Dex is upset and leaves as both guys cry alone over their fight.

Dex finds Scott asleep and wakes him up, apologizing for smoking. Scott tells him he doesn't care if he smokes, just not in their apartment. He says he has the money to pay for it from his parents' college fund and he's sorry that Scott has been picking up all of the slack. Scott apologizes for being so mean and goes and retrieves a promise ring he got for Dex and they exchange "I love you's" and kiss.

In Say It Right, Scott finds it super cool that Lindsay is taking a gap year after graduation to go help build schools in Africa. He later is in the library where Brittany is upset her father announced he is now atheist and is very uncomfortable with the situation, telling Chloe to leave him out of it when she tells Brittany God wouldn't send Scott to hell for being gay. After Chloe and Brittany have a huge fight over religion, she looks to Scott for backup, but he leaves to avoid the situation. Scott later pulls Brittany aside and asks her what is going on since she went from regular Christian to Gina Reynolds in .5 seconds. He tells her she's been forcing her religion on people and asks where this is coming from. He tells her he's religious too, but she can't force her religion on people and God isn't going to send her father to hell because he's atheist. Brittany admits that she's done so many horrible things in her life and she just doesn't want to end up there either. Scott tells her he doesn't even believe in hell since God is all loving, which makes her reconsider her recent worries.

In Never Forget You (1), Scott is at a meeting in the school parking lot that Danielle is having the night prior to her big Valentine's Day dance. Scott assures her this is going to be the best dance ever and steps away when he gets a phone call from Dex. Scott asks how he's feeling and Dex said he isn't feeling well still, which is why he didn't come in. Scott reminds him he's missed over 20 days this semester and has to start coming to school. Dex asks Scott when he's coming home and Scott tells him he's going to be helping Danielle with her dance and that Dex should come and join. Dex says he doesn't feel like going out and just wants Scott home with him. Scott isn't sure what to do, but gives in and tells Dex he has to help Danielle tomorrow. Scott tells Danielle he has to go home since Dex isn't feeling well, but promises to do whatever she needs early the next morning. Danielle is a little annoyed, but says she trusts him and gives him the list of things he needs to do. Eric, Peyton, and Lana all seem concerned since Dex has been a recluse lately and encourage Scott to bring Dex to the dance, but Scott tells them he doesn't want to go. He assures them that Dex is just in a slump and he will get him out of it, but seems more worried than he's letting on.

The next morning, Scott tries to get Dex to come with him to do Danielle's errands, but Dex doesn't want to go, so Scott tells Dex to go outside and get the mail since he looks like a vampire. He hears Dex yelling for him and doesn't want to go outside since he's in a towel, but realizes it's something serious and runs out to see homophobic remarks spray painted on their garage. Dex is very upset and wants it off, but Scott tells him they'll have to repaint. Dex runs back inside and curls up in bed, not wanting to believe someone could do that. Scott tells him not to worry about what some loser thinks since they must have a pretty pathetic life to do something like that. Scott tries tickling Dex to make him feel better, but Dex tells him to go out and leave him alone. Scott gets very concerned,

Scott later, along with Caylee, run into the dance with all of the things she asked of him. Danielle is shocked, thinking Scott was going to bail on her, but Scott reminds her she can count on him. Scott tries to fill Danielle in on what happened that morning, but she tells him she doesn't have time and runs off to finish the dance. He shows a photo of it to everyone else, and they are all shocked. He explains that he's even more worried about Dex now after he saw that since he barely leaves the house or does anything. Caylee comes up with the idea to have an pride night at Jeremy's bar to make him feel better, and Scott immediately loves the idea. Scott suggests they do it tonight, and after Sophie reminds him Danielle's party is tonight, he asks how much worse Dex is going to get in a week and tells them he needs something now. They all agree that people can go to both and Caylee gets the ball rolling for the pride night.

Scott is at Jeremy's bar setting up and after hearing from Angel how pissed Danielle is that he's doing this on the same night of her dance, but Scott doesn't want to worry about it now and says he'll talk to her later. He leaves to pick up Dex. He later brings him once the party has already started rolling and has him blindfolded to surprise him. He gets Dex out of the car as Dex protests surprises and says he'd rather just be in bed. Scott ignores him and takes off the blindfold to reveal Jeremy's bar all decked out in pride gear and tons of their friends around. Scott explains he and all their friends put this together to show the community that they're not going to stand for what happened to them. All of Dex's friends start flooding him and he gets very annoyed, asking Scott why he told this many people what happened, saying it's not their business. Scott is surprised that Dex isn't happy since he did all of this for him. Dex says that having all this gay stuff around doesn't even make sense because he's not gay and that this is just embarrassing, saying it's a pity party. Scott snaps and tells Dex to just go home since he's done trying to make him happy since it's not possible and he doesn't care about how much work Scott put into this. Dex says that he never asked for this and Scott tells him to go home and lie in bed, giving him the car keys. Dex drives off and Scott is very upset, but when Sophie checks on him, he pretends everything is fine and gets back to the party.

Later on in the night, Scott is alone drinking at the bar when Wyatt approaches him and thanks him for putting this together since it'll help a lot of people. This makes Scott feel a little better and when Eliza sits down next to him and checks on him, he tells her he'd rather focus on anything else than Dex right now. He tells her that he's really happy they're friends again and she agrees. Danielle barges in, pissed, and tells Scott he ruined her dance. Scott tries to explain he's had a rough night and isn't up for this, but Danielle keeps yelling at him. Scott finally snaps and screams at her to leave him alone, shocking Danielle. Suddenly, gunshots fill the room and Scott is seen bleeding by the bathroom door on the floor.

In Never Forget You (2), Scott asks Danielle for help, shot in the abdomen. She sees she's bleeding and, disoriented, asks if she was shot. Scott tells her she hit her head on the table and the shooter is in the back. Danielle rushes over to Scott and tries moving him, but causes him lots of pain and he shouts out. Danielle quits him and drags him into the bathroom. He explains to her that some guy came in and just started shooting everywhere. Danielle makes a tourniquet out of her dress to stop Scott's bleeding and wipes his tears from the pain. They both start to cry after seeing the sight of Sophie possibly dead. Scott explains that once he was shot, he pretended to be dead and that Sophie and Danielle tried to leave, but Danielle got pushed and hit her dead and Sophie got shot trying to help her up. Danielle realizes her phone is outside and Scott's is dead and Scott also mentions seeing another body near the bar, but is scared he's going to find them in there. Danielle promises to get the two of them out alive.

Danielle tries to come up with a plan as Scott starts panicking, saying he can't die at 17. Danielle assures him he won't die, but Scott says there's a guy with a gun and they're locked in a bathroom with no weapon. Scott gets more upset when he thinks about him dying with Dex hating him. Danielle asks why Dex hates him and he fills her in on everything that happened. Danielle realizes that she was mad at Scott for nothing and this put everything into perspective for her. She apologizes for being upset with Scott and Scott says he forgives her and apologizes as well for planning this during her dance. They then go back to looking for a way out.

Danielle tries to break through the wall with her heel and Scott tells her he's starting to feel light-headed. Danielle tells him he can't fall asleep since he's lost a lot of blood, but he's going to be okay. Scott looks up and sees the air vents and points them out to Danielle. Danielle tries to get in, but accidentally drops the grate on the floor, making a huge crash. They hear footsteps and Danielle runs over to Scott and hugs him, both looking terrified. After a while, Danielle realizes if he was going to come in, he would have now. Scott asks why he doesn't just come in and end this. Danielle starts looking again and finds a phone charger in a stall. They plug Scott's phone in and wait for it to restart. First, Scott calls Dex, but he doesn't answer. Danielle tells him to FaceTime Eric, and Eric answers, immediately excited to see them since he thought Scott was dead. Everyone crowds around Eric and when Sophie's mom asks if she's okay, Scott apologizes to her and tells her she's gone. Scott asks Eric where Dex is, but Eric says they can't get a hold of him and don't know. As Eric brings his phone to the police, Scott starts to feel like they'll get out.

The cops tell Danielle their plan to save them, which involves them running in shooting and getting the bathroom door open so they can run. Danielle asks Scott if he thinks he can run with his injury and he says he doesn't have a choice, but tells Danielle not to slow down and wait for him, just to go as fast as she can. He says if one of them can survive, that's all that matters and if she waits for him, there's a chance neither of them will and she has so much more going for her than him. Danielle asks what she means and he tells her she's school president and has college coming up and a family waiting for her, and he doesn't have any of that. Danielle tells him that her and Peyton and Eric all consider Scott their family and that Scott should live because he's a way better person than she is and he deserves to be happy for once. Before they can finish their conversation, they hear the first gunshot and realize it's time to run. It turns out to be a false alarm and the shooter just shot a cop, which they realize when Danielle opens the door. The shooter aims at Danielle and shoots, but Scott pulls her to the ground and shuts the door with his foot. Suddenly, bullets start flying through the door and Scott and Danielle hold each other and scream. The gunshots stop and a cop opens the door, telling them they are safe. Scott and Danielle hug and cry tears of relief.

Scott is brought out on a stretcher and his friends surround him, saying how happy they are to see him. Scott says he's happy to see them too. Eric gets on the ambulance with Scott, telling the paramedic he's his brother, which makes Scott smile. Eric holds Scott's hand tight as they drive off and Scott asks if they've heard from Dex, which Eric says they haven't. Scott says he wants him to be here, which Eric understands.

Scott is lying in his hospital bed after surgery, still groggy, and tells his friends it went well and the bullet missed everything important. Peyton assures him that the GoFundMe they set up already paid for his bills and he calls her sweet for setting that up. Scott asks how Sophie's doing and Peyton and Mary-Beth both go to check on her mom while she's still in surgery. Danielle asks how long they want Scott to stay and he says 3 or 4 days and then tells everyone how Danielle kept her promise on keeping them alive and was a badass the whole time they were trapped. Scott watches Angel come in with her mom and when Eric notices him get sad, Scott says he feels stupid for actually thinking his parents might show up tonight. Eric ruffles Scott's hair as he leaves to check his apartment for Dex with his key and Scott looks sad again, thinking about how Dex was not there for him. He later tells Alicia to go home when he sees she's sleepy and assures her that Eric and Brad will be back with Dex soon. Once he is left alone, Scott tries to call his dad, but the number is no longer in service, which disappoints him.
