She then tells her uncle to stop drinking and states that the sharp pains in his side are the beginning of cirrhosis of the liver.

Despite her mother's hesitance, Shelby continues to make comments about the lives of others that are later proven true, and she gains significant media attention.

Meanwhile, Shelby's father, a lawyer, is working on a defense for a man whose family believes has been wrongly imprisoned for over a decade.

She now visits him regularly in prison, and she confronts Shelby's father about his perceived failure to live up to his promise of proving the man's innocence.

Following these revelations, Jason is permitted to remain in their house and Shelby's mother eventually confesses to her husband and daughter that she had a son when she was 15 who was given up for adoption.

In another significant revelation, Shelby tells her father that the evidence he believes to be missing that would exonerate his client has simply been misfiled.

There, she explains that she was in love with the man she put in prison and viewed the girl she killed as the lone obstacle preventing him from choosing to be with her.

At this point, Jason rushes in, having been alerted to the suspicious situation by Shelby's fellow deaf friend, who she had drifted away from after regaining her hearing.
