Melissa added Hannah's compulsive eating habits, even taking food from Hannah so she was not 'tempted'. Melissa tells Hannah that they will only drink water and eat very little.
John Paul and Sarah become suspicious of weight loss and Hannah's behavior change, also mistakenly believe that he used drugs after Sarah misinterpreted a private conversation between him and Melissa. Hannah then fainted because of her anorexia. Suzanne also became increasingly worried about Hannah, and her anxiety was triggered by Sarah's assertion that Melissa had a bad effect on Hannah and that she was afraid they were taking drugs to stay thin.

When Melissa tried to hit Rhys and refused to let Hannah eat a burger, Rhys told Melissa to leave. Melissa then fell into a coma in the street caused by her anorexia and was rushed to the hospital. Hannah is surprised to find her in intensive care. With Suzanne still convinced Hannah to consume drugs, Hannah tried to convince her mother that her behavior was recently because Gilly had sexually harassed her. Rhys then throws Gilly out. When she visited Melissa at the hospital, she was shocked to see Melissa sick and stuck in a drip. Hannah starts applying make-up to Melissa's face, because Melissa is so weak she can not open her lip gloss. Melissa asks how she saw where Hannah replied "Awesome". Melissa told her that she thought so. There was a montage that showed Melissa's machines, droplets, and bones sticking out. Hannah also told Melissa that she was the best thing that ever happened to her.

His family then found out about his condition. After the days of abuse from Rhys, which Suzanne hunted and the conditions misunderstood by Neville, Hannah felt she needed to escape, and fabricated a plan to escape the country with Melissa, in fear that if Melissa kept her force-fed she would get fat. Breaking his friend out of the hospital, the duo had to go back to Hannah's house to get her passport.
