What none of them realize is that [[SelfServingMemory Chloe]] has [[UnreliableNarrator not been entirely honest]] about her home life, and [[ThisIsUnforgivable the messages she sent]] were actually [[DisproportionateRetribution far harsher than necessary]] and [[UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom certain to make things worse]].

Parker is getting to know Serena better, though this isn't without some hiccups: after learning that Ash hadn't told her about one of his creepier adventures, he gleefully leaps at the chance to share that story himself, failing to pick up on her discomfort -- even after she faints.

Ultimately, Chloe spells out in no uncertain terms that she wants nothing more to do with Goh, telling him to "do what makes you happy, Goh. You have your happiness, and I have mine. Goodbye." She then blocks his number and dissolves into tears, as her allies reassure her that she's done the right thing.
...While back in the Pokémon world, the video of Chloe's classmates bragging about their bullying goes viral, setting the Net ablaze. Vermillion International School faces a firestorm of criticism, publicly announcing that all of Class 5-E is being suspended for a full week while investigations continue. The outpouring of support for the [=#CallingChloe=] movement is mirrored by the anger and frustration aimed towards her bullies, along with the adults who failed her... chief among them her father.
And in his bedroom in Azalea, Goh pitches his phone against the wall and wails in grief, finally forced to face the AwfulTruth that his friendship with Chloe won't be repaired by simply bringing her back home.
