As Beth had been watching the situation unfold from the dance floor, she does not take kindly to Hailey’s obnoxious confrontation. Despite her better judgment, Beth smashes a bottle over Hailey’s head and punches her in the face.
Beth is taken away in a squad car, but fortunately for her Hailey drops the charges and she gets out on bail.

The boutique owner falsely accused Monica of stealing even though all she was doing was shopping. The entire time, the owner treats her poorly and even gets two cops involved.
The cops proceed to further humiliate Monica by doing an unnecessary strip search on her. Fortunately, Beth shows up to end the blatant mistreatment of Monica.
Beth scolds the cops for their horrible treatment of Monica and then proceeds to dismiss them after informing them Monica is a Dutton. Even though the cops leave, Beth is not done with the store owner.
She proceeds to break the glass of a jewelry case before throwing merchandise. Beth then makes the owner strip down to her underwear, giving her the same treatment she gave Monica.
