Okay so, after homecoming, Mrs. Lisbon, takes all four of her daughters out of school; she thought that they needed time to heal at home. In return, Lux, starts sneaking men in her house of all different ages to sleep with them on the roof. She would tell them thats it's okay, that "it would make us feel close". Which is a common behavior among young women to seek comfort and belonging in men, because they don't know how else to cope with their feelings and they feel wanted and protected. Pretty soon, Lux was the next one sent to the hospital due to stomach pains and later on was discovered to have been faking them just so she could get out of her house and get a pregnancy test. Except this time, Mrs. Lisbon didn't ride in the ambulance with her, nor did her sisters come out and see her off. It was as if they have gotten used to the routine since it was the second time that this was happening. After the doctor sat down with her, it was clear that she was in deep denial of Cecilia's death.

After her return from the hospital and her pregnancy test being declared negative, Mr. Lisbon ends up losing his job which adds to more stress on the Lisbon family. All the boys that are obsessed with the Lisbon sisters are on watch 24/7 to see what their next moves are and brag to the girls that they have a car and can take them where ever they want to go. One night, the girls invited them over, told them to wait in the living room while they all finished packing. After waiting for some time the boys see a light in the basement and decide to go see what it is. When they went down there, they saw, Bonnie, one of the sisters, hanging, dead from a beam. They later learned that Mary then killed herself by putting her head in the oven, Therese, overdosed on sleeping pills, and Lux, from carbon monxide poisoning. Lux had a plan alla long; to stall the boys for long enough while each of the sisters committed suicide. I guess they couldn't deal with the loss of their sister, and how everything had turned wrong.
