Courtney states "When you're the target, you do anything you can to protect yourself."[1]
It is revealed in this episode that Jessica has been sleeping on the floor of her parents bedroom, because she can't be in her own room, which seems to be a nod to her having PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder).

“
What's the truth? What's true? I think we each have our own truth
”
— Courtney Crimsen

We all have things we keep hidden, sometimes keeping secrets is how you survive, because in high school, one rumor, one picture, one incident can define you, forever.
”
— Courtney
Todd: "You're doing the right thing, honey"
Courtney: "I know. Now it's gonna be out there. Everything I said in my deposition."

Steve: "You told the truth. And that's all you're gonna do again today."
― Todd and Steve reassuring Courtney, who is nervous on being in court
“
When rumors spread, you can fight them or ignore them, but they never really go away. When you're the target, you do anything you can to protect yourself. Sometimes you hide. Sometimes you fight back. Anything you have to do. Because the thing is, in high school, everyone's watching you all the time. You have to be careful

— Courtney

This was the dress I was wearing the day I found Hannah. I always meant to wash it but I just couldn't bring myself to.

Clay: "So, let me get this straight."
Hallucination Hannah: "Okay."
Clay: "You don't know why you're here, you don't know how I'm supposed to feel about it, you don't know why I haven't seen you and even though I haven't tried to think about in months and then you show up tonight."

Clay: "Can I touch you?"
Hallucination Hannah: "That seems like a loaded question."
Clay: "This is fucked up, right? Like I-I'm seriously fucked up."
