  2. 1. Matt, because he is being ostracized for something that he said, but didn't mean and no one will stop and he can't take it anymore.

    2. Lisa doesn't eat hardly and it's making Ursula think that she might have an eating disorder or starting too. She just doesn't want her little sister to do that.

    3. Now that she has saved him from what he was going to do, he feels he can open up to her even more now that she kind of has a feel of what he is going through.
