After spending much of the season conflicted between her best friend's twin brother, bad boy Marcus (Felix Mallard), and her official boyfriend, Hunter (Mason Temple), Ginny finally admits that she wants to be with Marcus. However, before she can tell Maxine and the rest of her friends, her secret relationship comes out and causes a massive rift between her friends and the two boys.
Isolated from everyone, Ginny also has to deal with her AP English teacher Mr. Gitten who, when talking about N-world, points out Ginny during the conversation. After leaving to go to the bathroom, Ginny sees Bracia, and they have a conversation about being Black in a very white town like Wellsbury.
On top of this, she's dealing with the even bigger issues of her mother's secrets. Ginny knows her mother has been keeping secrets from her. This has driven a wedge between their once-close relationship as the season’s gone on. However, they did have a breakthrough moment when Georgia finally opened up to Ginny about the sexual abuse she suffered by her stepdad in her childhood. While Ginny is shocked and saddened to hear about this, it doesn't take long before she realises there's more to her mother's past which once again gets her guard up. The final straw for her is when Cordova (the private investigator) reveals to Ginny that Georgia killed her ex-husband Kenny.
She then returns home to find that her little brother Austin has discovered that Georgia hasn't been mailing out the letters he has written to his father, who is currently in prison. Ginny is furious.
Completely isolated from those closest to her, she decides to take a page out of her mother's book and runs away with Austin on a motorcycle, taking Georgia's beloved leather jacket with her. Where is she going? We have no idea. All Ginny says in the voiceover is: "Knowing some things about a person, you can't come back from that," suggesting she has no intentions of returning to life living with her mother.
