Eliza Bell is a Graduate of Clearwater High School in the Class of 2016. She is one of the original thirteen characters and was known to be the damsel in distress, yet has since taken a new-found independence where she wants to deal with her problems on her own. In earlier seasons, Eliza was some-what of a drama queen, and very boy-crazy, jumping from guy to guy without even fully getting to know them. She is normally peppy and chill while with her friends, but has a darker side that she normally tries to cover up like when she had self-harm issues or slapped her boyfriend. Her darker side started showing more and more as the show progressed, becoming actually aggressive at times especially around her ex-boyfriend, Dex Smith, who she physically abused. Her aggressive and rude behavior lost her numerous friends and caused many conflicts. Things were made worse for her when she cheated on Dex and exposed to everyone, causing their breakup.  

In the fourth season, she discovered she was pregnant and didn't know who the father was, causing her to get an abortion. When this leaked to the school, Julia Abbott led a protest against her and many of her friends left her, all which led to her decision to be home-schooled the following school year. Despite being home-schooled, she finds herself consumed by the drama of her old high school, scheming against her former enemies and even going as far to destroying their property. Things come to a head when her outbursts become violent and she ends up blowing her mother's car up after a fight, causing her to be sent to the mental hospital where she is diagnosed with Intermittent Explosive Disorder, which explains many of her violent and crazy outbursts that have been going on since the third season. Following this news, she decides to step away from everything and focus on bettering herself.  

She returns to Clearwater in the sixth season and over time, regains all of her friends again. She even firmly cements herself in the main friend group of the series, and by proxy, becomes one of the most prominent characters on the series again, a status she had not had for many seasons. After her close friend, Olivia, delivers her suicide note to her, she goes through a heavy grieving process. After thinking she is dead for many months, Olivia shows up at her doorstep asking for help, and Eliza becomes one of the only two people to know Olivia faked her suicide.

Her tumultuous home life has also been a major factor in her story arc. Her father is an alcoholic who has many violent outbursts, causing Eliza to fear for her mother's well-being. She also has a transgender sister that her parents do not fully accept, and while Eliza struggled with the idea at first, has come to fully accept and love her sister. Her sister reunites with their parents in the sixth season and her father overcomes his alcoholism, although this happiness does not last long, as her sister is brutally murdered in the eighth season, causing the return of both her father's alcoholism, as well as Eliza's anger issues.

She spends much of the final season searching for Olivia, dealing with a new love triangle, and trying to keep her family together. In the end, she's able to find Olivia, but the other two, not so much. She departs the series taking the good with the bad and leaving for college with Olivia.

Eliza is newly best friends with Lana Davis and Angel O'Brian additional close friends include Scott Taylor, Moon Stellar, Chloe Kaven, Brittany Brith, and the presumably deceased Olivia Jerl. She is enemies with Jarrod Keppler, Sophie Clark, and ex-boyfriends Blake Sommer and Josh Yeldman. She was portrayed by Ariana Grande. 

Character History

Season 1

In Anything Could Happen, Scott comes up to her and asks if they can hang out, but she turns him down because she already has plans with Moon. When he tries to make plans for later in the week, she says she's very busy, but will get back to him and goes off to find her class, leaving him disappointed.

In Let's Get it Started, she is seen getting lunch with Moon who is complaining about the new girl, Sophie, and how everyone thinks she is amazing, which she disagrees with. Eliza asks her if she's jealous, but Moon says she isn't, she just doesn't see how they can stand her. Eliza asks what she's going to do about the situation in which Moon tells her she's going to find a way to make everyone hate Sophie the way she does. Eliza doesn't find it fair to do that to Sophie, but Moon says she doesn't care and says goodbye before joining her other friends. She later joins Eliza's table when she gets into an argument with the people at her's.

Eliza first meeting Blake.

In Love Drunk, Moon walks into class and sees Eliza looking depressed, so she sits down next to her and asks her what's wrong. Eliza says that she's okay, but Moon doesn't believe it and comments that she's been acting this way all week. Eliza tells her that high school isn't like middle school the way she hoped it was and explains how she hates change and doesn't see anyone that much anymore. She also mentions how she and Gina got into a fight over the summer and Chloe ditched her for Gina afterwards, so Moon and Scott are the only people she gets to see anymore. Moon tells her that she and Scott aren't going anywhere, but Eliza isn't so sure because she turned Scott down to hang the other week and thinks she upset him. Moon tells her that Scott doesn't hold grudges and Eliza says she just wishes things were like last year and she got to see her friends. Moon tells her she was feeling lonely too and talked to this cute guy and now they're friends, so Eliza should try it. Eliza says she's not the girl who just talks to random guys, but Moon encourages her to, saying boys will take a girl's mind off of anything.

Later that day, Eliza is walking to class, distracted, and bumps into a boy, dropping her books everywhere. She apologizes, and he says it's okay and picks up her books. She thanks him and introduces herself, and he does as well, saying his name is Blake. He hands her her books and asks her if she's a freshman, which she says she is. He tells her that it gets easier, mentioning he's a sophomore and tells her to sit with him at lunch if she wants after finding out they share the same lunch mod. He walks off as Eliza blushes and Scott comes up, asking her who that was. She tells him that his name was Blake and she just met him. Scott recognizes his name and tells her that he's heard he's bad news. Eliza asks if she should stay away from him then, but Scott says that maybe the rumors aren't true and he's a good guy. She decides to give him a try and see what he's like, saying that she hopes he's not a pothead. Scott asks her if she likes him, but Eliza says she's not sure because she just met him and the only guy she's dated is someone online in the seventh grade. Scott mentions that he turned out to be fifty and gay, and Eliza says that she wants a boyfriend, saying Moon told her it would make her less depressed. Scott tells her that's not true because relationships bring drama, so Eliza decides to take things slow and see where they go.

Eliza spots Blake at lunch and approaches his table, greeting him cheerfully. He is happy to see her and offers her a seat when she asks if she can sit with him and his friends. His friends start teasing him about Eliza being his new sex toy, which makes Eliza uncomfortable, so Blake angrily suggests they sit somewhere else. They sit at an empty table and Blake asks how her freshman year is going. Eliza explains that she doesn't see many of her friends, so it's hard, and they soon start bonding over their love of anime, deciding to go to an upcoming convention together. Blake suggests they get a hotel room by the convention center together, but this weirds Eliza out, who tells him that she knows what happens in hotel rooms and she's not a sex bunny. Blake is confused and says that this kind of behavior is usually what gets girls like Eliza, but this just offends Eliza, who calls him a perverted jerk, and walks away, only half-accepting his apology.

The situation with Blake leaves her shaken, and she seeks out a girl named Kat, who used to date Blake. Eliza brings this up and asks Kat if she can ask her a question about Blake. Kat tells her this is weird, but goes along with it anyways. Eliza asks her if he's a bad boy and explains he's already bringing up sex when Kat asks why she cares. Kat explains that Blake is into a lot of bad stuff because of his friends, but when you're alone with him, he's really sweet. Eliza doesn't believe this because of how quickly he propositioned her for sex, but Kat doesn't see the issue, saying he's great at it. Eliza thanks her for her advice, and Kat wishes her luck, but Eliza seems more torn now after hearing Kat's perspective.

She later walks in the hallway with Moon and Scott and confirms to Moon that finding a boyfriend has been a failure. Scott tells her not to worry since there are plenty of guys at Clearwater, and Eliza agrees, saying she doesn't want to rush into anything not worth her time. Blake approaches her asking to talk, and she is initially nervous to talk to him, but after he tells her that he can't stop thinking about her, she lets him talk, but warns him that she's not like Kat and won't just have sex with him casually. Blake explains that he doesn't care about that, and instead loves that she has similar interests as him. He tells her she can't act like she's not attracted to him, which she agrees with, but warns him that if they date, he has to act nice to her in front of his friends and treat her well. She is still hesitant to start anything official with him despite him agreeing to this, but after Blake says that he feels like they're right in this moment, she can't help but feel the same way and they make things official, with her giving him one final warning about making her happy.

In Keep Holding On, Olivia calls her over to talk after she gets into another fight with her mom. When Olivia tells her she self-harmed again, Eliza gets upset, since Olivia stopped for so long. Olivia tells Eliza how her mother threw a frying pan at her head and shows her the bleeding wound, which shocks Eliza. She tells Olivia that she can't stay there anymore, and offers up the bruises and cuts she gets as proof she can show the police against her mother. Olivia counters that she has cuts on her wrist, so her mother could say Olivia did it all to herself. Eliza tells her that she could get a video of her mom hurting her, but that not only Olivia, but her siblings would be taken away as well. She explains her siblings would go up for adoption rather than stay with Olivia and her dad since he is not their biological father, and this terrifies Olivia, who admits she only lives for her siblings. Eliza asks her if she wants the same thing to happen to her siblings when they grow up, and that Olivia has a choice to make. She then leaves Olivia to ponder this decision.

Eliza talking with Olivia about the footage.

At school the next day, she finds Scott and asks him if Olivia has told him about what's been going on, which Scott says she has. He tells her how hard it is to watch her go through her abuse, and asks Eliza if they should step in and do something. Eliza explains that Olivia was planning on getting footage of the abuse and sending it to CPS when Olivia joins them. Eliza asks her if she got the footage, and is shocked when Olivia says she deleted it. Olivia explains she can't say goodbye to her siblings yet, and Eliza asks her what she'll do if her mother hits one of the babies. Olivia sternly says she'll kill her mother, but assures her friends she'll be okay, which Eliza doesn't fully believe.

In This Is How I Disappear (1), Eliza and Blake are fooling around at lunch together, Eliza holding Blake's juice box captive. He threatens to hit her with a chicken leg to get it back and tickles her, causing her to drop it. She gives in and hands it back to him, accidentally revealing the cuts on her wrist to him. He calls her out, asking what is on her arm, but she denies that there was anything there. Blake doesn't believe her and insists she show him her arm. Eliza tries to tell him it's nothing and make excuses not to show him, but she eventually relents and tells him she does cut herself. He is shocked by this and she asks him why he even cares, promising him that she's fine. He asks her why she needs to cut if everything is okay, obviously not believing her, and Eliza doesn't have a good answer for this. Blake gets upset and grabs his things, leaving Eliza alone at the table, and threatening her to stop because he doesn't want a suicidal girlfriend. Eliza is shocked by this, obviously not expecting him to find out or have such an emotional reaction.

She is walking with Moon outside of school that day, explaining what happened with Blake earlier. Moon agrees with her that he can't tell her what to do with her life, and she agrees that he does things she doesn't tell him not to do. She suddenly asks if Moon smells pot, and notices Blake ahead of them smoking a joint. She gets upset and runs up to Blake, grabbing the joint from his hand and asking him if he smokes pot now. Blake admits to it, and Eliza mentions that he told her he quit and was just smoking cigarettes. Blake jokes that he just needed a refresher like Febreze, and she doesn't laugh, saying he should have just used Febreze instead. She threatens him, saying she doesn't want to catch him smoking it again and throws the blunt before storming off. Blake finds her in the library and tells her that what she did wasn't cool. Eliza comments that he didn't like her telling him to stop doing something, which he did to her earlier that day. Blake tries to say cutting is actually bad for her, and Eliza jokes that all parents must love their kids smoking pot. Blake tries to stop her, but Eliza cuts him off and says that she did the exact same thing to him he did to her, and it isn't fun. She says she will stop cutting if he stops smoking, and walks away, not even giving him time to clap back. She runs into Scott, who asks her what's wrong since she looks upset. She tells him she just has relationship drama, and asks him what's wrong since he looks nervous. Scott tells her he's going to Pride for the first time, which Eliza is surprised by, asking if he's going to come out to more people. Scott admits he's not sure since Eliza is the only person he's out to as bisexual, which he did six months prior. He thinks he might be ready to tell more people, and Eliza tells him she will support him with whatever he does. She excuses herself to scream into a pillow, and Scott wishes her luck with her drama before they part ways.

Eliza confused why Blake freaks out during the drug bust.

Eliza approaches Blake at his locker the next day, asking if they can talk and saying that she will stop cutting if he stops smoking. Blake tells her he only does it with his friends, and gets it from them. They are interrupted when a cop and dog come through the hall for a drug bust, and when Eliza sees Blake getting scared, she assures him they can't detect weed that's already been smoked. Kat approaches and starts to comfort Blake, which gets Eliza confused. Kat explains that Blake still has some in his locker, and Eliza gets upset since Blake just lied about only smoking when his friends give him some. As his locker is busted and he admits to it, Eliza stands by very upset with him. She is later in the bathroom when Kat comes in and tells her that Blake got suspended for two weeks. Eliza tells her she doesn't care, and Kat tells her it's hard to quit smoking quickly, relating it to stopping cutting ASAP. Eliza tries to say that stopping cutting wouldn't be hard, but Kat explains why it's not. Eliza asks her how she would know, and Kat shows her her own cutting scars, which shocks Eliza. Kat tells her not to expect Blake to quit in one day since it's not realistic and leaves Eliza alone in the bathroom, who breaks down over everything that happened and cuts herself to deal with it.

In This Is How I Disappear (2), she is playing a video game with Moon at her house along with Jamie when Moon asks her about the drama that went down between her and Blake. Jamie asks if they're together and mentions hearing he got busted for pot, and Eliza explains that she doesn't know where they're at, but since he got suspended for two weeks, she won't see him for a while and can think things over. Moon asks her if she thinks she should at least visit him and talk, but Eliza is flippant of this and says he made a dumb choice and she shouldn't have to act like his lapdog just because he got caught. While Jamie agrees with her, Moon feels bad for Blake, but Eliza adamantly claims she doesn't since he can't expect her to stop cutting while he continues to drink and smoke all the time.

Eliza feeling bad after Kat calls her out.

Kat runs up to Eliza at school the next day saying she needs to talk to her, and Eliza tells her if it's about Blake, she's not interested. Kat begs her for two minutes, and Eliza relents. Kat tells her that Blake won't stop reaching out to her begging for Eliza to talk to him and he just needs to know if Eliza will forgive him for lying or not. Eliza cuts her off and tells her that her time is up, but Kat tells her it's not and that she can't ignore him. Eliza tells her that she can and despite knowing that he needs her, needs more time to figure out how she's feeling before she talks to him again. She tells Kat to tell Blake this and walks off, very annoyed.

Eliza is called to the guidance counselor and passes Kat on her way in, who explains to Eliza that they're being questioned about Blake's drug use. Eliza asks Kat what she told the counselor, and Kat says she lied and said the drugs weren't his, and he was holding onto them for a friend. Kat asks Eliza if she is going to turn Blake in, and Eliza seems unwilling to lie to the guidance counselor, causing Kat to grow very upset with her, and call her out for being a terrible girlfriend. Eliza enters the guidance office and is surprised when Mrs. Dayton knows she is dating Blake. Mrs. Dayton explains she sees them making out in the hallway, and relates to her by saying she was young and in love before too. She then asks Eliza if she loves Blake, which Eliza isn't sure how to answer. Dayton rephrases the question and asks Eliza if she cares about him, which Eliza says that she does. Mrs. Dayton says that she must want the best for him, and asks for her to tell the truth about the drugs found in his locker. Eliza is very clearly facing a moral dilemma, but repeats over in her head Kat calling her a terrible girlfriend, and in the end, follows along with the lie Kat told her. Eliza is dismissed, and sees that Kat was listening in the whole time, now more sympathetic. Kat admits she's not a bad girlfriend, and Eliza realizes maybe she should visit Blake and figure things out, which Kat agrees is a good idea.

Eliza meets up with Moon in the hall who asks her what she was called over the PA for, and Eliza explains she had to talk to the guidance counselor about Blake, and that she lied for him. Moon asks her if that means their drama is over, and Eliza is unsure. Moon decides to step in and tells Eliza she needs to stop cutting, since she is only doing it now to piss off Blake. Eliza retorts that if she stops that means Blake wins, since he won't stop smoking. Moon advises her to just break up with him until he stops if it is that big of a deal to her. Eliza considers this and is shocked when Moon reveals that Scott has a girlfriend, thinking he was gay. She then wishes Moon luck in dealing with that situation and goes off to talk to Blake.

She prepares herself to break up with him outside his door, and he immediately comes to the door after she knocks and breaks down in tears, hugging her and telling her how great it is to see her. Eliza starts to try and break up with him, but he stops her and apologizes for everything, saying he'll do whatever it takes to keep her. Eliza obviously doesn't know if he means this, but when he asks for her forgiveness, she relents and agrees to never leave him when he sobs and asks her to. She hugs him back, but looks very confused about the situation and how she feels about it.

In Radar, she sees Brittany staring at a guy while they are at lunch and asks who it is. Brittany tells her his name is Levi, and Eliza asks if she's even talked to him before. Brittany adamantly claims she has and knows him well, but this is proven false when he calls her by the wrong name as he walks by them. Eliza finds this comical and sarcastically calls it an abomination that he doesn't know her house address or shoe size despite talking to her two times. When Brittany is distressed about this, Eliza changes tune and comforts her, saying he probably knew it was Brittany and just messed it up. When Brittany says she wants to get closer to him, Eliza tells her not to stalk him, which Brittany denies wanting to do.

In Dancing On My Own (1), she is at her freshman Homecoming when Olivia approaches her and asks if she's seen Scott anywhere. Eliza tells her she hasn't, but that Scott mentioned Olivia was acting weird earlier, and asks her if everything is okay. Olivia doesn't tell her what's really wrong, and instead just reinforces her desire to find Scott, so Eliza tells her ask Chloe or Brittany. Eliza overhears Olivia's conversation with them and Gina, where Gina mentions how happy she is Scott is dating a girl like God wants him to, and not a boy. Eliza gets furious upon hearing this and says that she's going to punch Gina if she doesn't get away from them. Eliza pulls Olivia away and continues to help her find Scott, but tells her that Harley did not steal Scott from her, since Harley didn't know Olivia liked him in the first place. Olivia asks her who else she can blame then, and storms off, upset. Eliza looks sad for her friend, and doesn't know how else to help her.

In Dancing On My Own (2), at the dance she overhears Olivia spreading lies about Harley to Chloe and quickly and calls and tells Moon. She worries about this getting back to Scott because she doesn't want him or his relationship getting hurt as a result. Moon tells her that Tim and her are coming to the dance to stop her, and Eliza stresses both because her friend is acting psycho, and because she continues to involve herself in drama. She along with Moon and Tim tell Scott she is lying and Eliza tells him that Olivia has loved him for a long time after Olivia storms away. She is later talking with Scott about everything when Olivia pulls Scott away to talk. After Olivia reconciles with Scott, Eliza asks him if he's okay with Olivia liking him if he forgives her. Scott says that he forgives her, but is uncomfortable now knowing she's liked him for so long. Eliza assures him that Olivia will get over him and tries to be there for him.

Eliza telling Olivia about Jarrod.

In Eyes Open, Eliza sits with her normal lunch table and is fine when Blake's friend, Jarrod, joins them as well. She and Kat ask him about himself and seem to like him, but Eliza is taken aback when he comments on her hair. She asks Kat what she's heard about him and doesn't seem to trust him. Later that day she goes to drop off a science report and sees only Jarrod in the room, asking him to give the teacher the report when he shows up. He agrees and then asks for her number so she can send him pics. Eliza isn't sure what he means and he tells her he wants to see her body. Eliza refuses to sext with him and tells him to stay away from her after he talks vulgarly to her. She warns Kat about him the next day and refuses to tell Blake about it, worried it might push him over the edge. She's also worried because he has her number. Jarrod tries to get her to send him a picture again at her locker, saying he will stop talking to her if she sends one. She bumps into Olivia and drags her into the bathroom, telling her the story. Olivia tells her not to let him get to her and Eliza is clearly freaking out over the situation. He sends her a picture of his penis which freaks her out even more. He gets his friends to harass her as well after school and she breaks down, crying outside the school. She gets Kat to talk to Jarrod and he stops harassing her after Kat tells him she will tell Blake. Eliza feels weak making Kat talk to him, but Kat makes her feel in more control by saying she has ammunition against him with the picture he sent her.

In What You Waiting For?, she gives Scott advice when he can't kiss Harley and when he realizes he might be gay, she tells him she will stand by him and not to worry about his friends because they shouldn't care.

In Want U Back, she witnesses Brittany and Levi get together and doesn't approve. When Brittany tries to talk to her and Chloe about it, they both tell her to break up with him because their clashing religions will never work out. Brittany refuses to and insults Chloe. After Brittany walks away, Eliza seems very upset with her. Brittany later apologizes to Eliza and she seems to be over it anyway. When Levi asks Brittany to a church gathering, Eliza tries to get her to say no, but Brittany says yes anyway which annoys Eliza.

Eliza telling her friends about her brother.

In The Change, Eliza gets home and hears her parents talking about one of her brothers getting a sex change. She is shocked and runs up to her room. She tells Moon the next day and tells her he's making a big mistake. Moon feels differently and that Eliza should butt out, but Eliza says she has to talk him out of it. She enlists the help of Scott, Kat, Blake, and Chloe to go with her to Illinois and convince her brother to not get the surgery. They all agree which makes Eliza happy. She convinces her other brother to drive them to Illinois and starts freaking out when Scott tells her Moon is on her way because she knows she will try to convince her not to go. Moon does and Eliza becomes very frustrated, wanting to leave pronto. Scott and Chloe decide not to go, so she leaves with Danny, Kat, and Blake. They get to her brother's house and she tries to talk him out of it until she learns that this is nothing new, and that he has been transgender for a long time, her parents have just hidden everything from her. She realizes she needs to stop making choices for other people when she doesn't even have her own life figured out and her brother tells her everything will fall into place. She hugs him and leaves. Back at Clearwater, Moon drags her to talk to Trey since he is going through what her brother is and he comforts her and makes her feel better about it. Chloe comes to apologize for leaving and Eliza reveals she isn't mad at Chloe or Scott and that she's going to focus on her own life from now on. They share a heartfelt moment and hug.

In Give Me All Your Luvin', Olivia comes to Eliza and is freaking out about Scott wanting to rebel and is scared he is going to do something stupid. Eliza tries to go by her new philosophy to let people make their own choices and tells this to Olivia, but Olivia reads it as Eliza not caring about Scott and is upset with her. After Olivia scares Scott into doing what she says, Scott is upset with her and tells Eliza this. Eliza goes to comfort Olivia who is a wreck and is scared he will never talk to her again. Eliza promises her she will talk to him about it. She does the next day and he tells her that he doesn't think he wants to be friends with her again. Eliza knows Olivia will go crazy if she knew he said that, so she tells her that Scott still does want to be friends, although she feels bad for lying to her afterwards.

That night, they are in his room studying and he tries to make a move while they are making out.

She asks Scott in class if it's weird they haven't had sex and he tells her it is, but they're a strong couple and don't need sex.

She then starts to grab all the bottles of alcohol in the house and starts pouring them in the sink. Her mother walks in and is shocked by what she's doing, but Eliza explains she can't see her dad the way he is anymore. Her mom starts to get frantic and explains this is just going to make things much worse because he's wanted to leave the family for a while and drinking is the only thing keeping him here.

Eliza gets very upset over this and Casey tells her he's been abusing their mother for years, but only does it when he's drunk. She then blames herself for his drinking getting worse and thinks it's because of her sex change. Eliza tells her she's not blaming her, she just needs to get out of the house. Casey tells her she can't live with her because she's moving to Tampa next week. Eliza asks if she can come, but Casey says that their mom needs her and she's the only one who can fix things. Eliza agrees to stay at home for the sake of their mom, but says that she wishes she got to run away like Casey is because she doesn't want to have to be brave.

The next day, Dex looks worried about Eliza when he sees her sitting alone in class as he walks by. After class, Eliza runs up to him and hugs him, saying she missed him. Dex mentions they saw each other an hour ago, but Eliza doesn't care and says she wants to spend every second with him and stay safe with him. Dex is confused and asks why she wouldn't be safe, but she dodges the question and tries to make plans for that night, but Dex says he can't because he already made plans with Scott. Eliza gets very upset and says she needs him and is more important. Eliza starts getting furious and says he doesn't love her, but he says he does and just needs to show his friends some attention too. Eliza says she's done with him and calls him out for not caring about her feelings at all. Dex says if it's that big of a deal to her, she can come with them, but she refuses. He tries to hold her hand, but she yanks it away and slaps him across the face, saying she hates him before running off and leaving him very confused and upset.

Dex gets even angrier because now she's trying to manipulate him with sex, but Eliza says she's not manipulating him, she's just trying to get him to be a good boyfriend because he's sucking at it. Dex says he does everything for her, but she says he doesn't do anything except make her feel awful about herself, which confuses Dex. She tells him he's the only thing that makes her happy and asks if he's ditching her because he wants to see her upset. Dex says she's not making any sense and Eliza retorts by saying he needs her because without her, he's just a stupid loser. He tells her to stop, but she tells him she doesn't care anymore and hates him. She punches him in the arm which slams him back into his locker and then runs off, leaving him confused and in pain.

The next day, he sees Eliza and Moon sitting together in class and walks up to them, but Moon says that Eliza doesn't want to talk to him. He tells her they have to talk about what happened, but she tells him to go away. She finally gives in and tells Moon to give them some privacy. Dex tries to apologize, but Eliza says she forgives him and isn't mad anymore and then asks if they're hanging out after school. Before he can answer, she tells him to get to class because he doesn't want to be late and kisses him before turning back to Moon, making Dex even more confused than he already was.

Eliza in the second half of Season 3.

In Pills N Potions, everyone is back after Thanksgiving break and Angel asks her lunch table is everyone had a boring break as well. Eliza says she didn't since she hung out with people, which upsets Angel because she was never invited. Later, Eliza comes and watches as Danielle calls out Angel for changing and tells Angel that she looks different. After everyone continues to call out Angel, she walks away and Eliza offers to go talk to her, following her. She asks her if everything is okay and Angel tells her everything is perfect. Eliza comments that she's suddenly wearing huge heels and showing lots of cleavage and just wanted to make sure. Angel then thanks her for being there only when it was convenient for her and walks away, leaving Eliza confused.

In Do What U Want, she and Moon are walking through the hall discussing Eliza and Dex's upcoming eight month anniversary. Moon is shocked Eliza isn't getting him anything, but Eliza corrects her and tells her she's giving him sex and that should be enough. Moon tries hinting that Eliza should get him something big by saying she heard he's going to do something big for her. This agitates Eliza who says she doesn't need or want anything big and he's being so annoying about the whole thing. Moon is surprised Eliza is mad at him for trying to do something nice, so Eliza admits she's sounding bitchy and doesn't know why she's so mad. Moon asks if she's happy with him and Eliza tells her that she is. Moon tells her that she doesn't act like it and before she can finish her statement, she accidentally walks into a guy and knocks his books all over the ground. Eliza stands by and watches as Moon apologizes and helps him and when he asks them for help finding his class, Eliza notices his accent and asks him if he's one of the new foreign exchange students. The guy says that he is from Germany and his name is Klaus. Moon then ditches Eliza to go help Klaus which Eliza finds annoying and rolls her eyes before going to class.

In Big Girls Don't Cry, Eliza walks up to Scott and Dex and asks Dex if he wants to hang out with her that night. Dex tells her that he and Scott are having a movie night, and when she asks if she can join, Scott tells her it's a guy's night and she can't, annoying Eliza who gives him a glare. Eliza whines that they haven't hung out in a couple of days, so Dex tells her they can hang out Sunday and reminds her that she's his #1 girl. Eliza comments that it doesn't feel that way, but they are interrupted when Dex is called to the principal's office. After Dex and Scott leave, Eliza slams Scott's locker shut and is furious with him for trying to steal her boyfriend.

After hearing the news that Dex's brother died while deployed in the army, she finds him with Scott and asks him if he's okay. He tells her that's a stupid question and Eliza feels bad. She tells Scott to give her and Dex some alone time since he needs her right now, but Scott tells her if he needed her, he would have come to her. Before they start a fight, Dex gets angry and tells them he needs them both and they need to learn to love him more than they hate each other. Eliza agrees and sits down with the other two as they all sit in an awkward silence. After a few minutes, Eliza gets a text from her mom saying she's outside waiting to pick her up. Eliza invites Dex to come over and be with her and when he tries to refuse, she tells him she's trying to be a good girlfriend and he keeps ignoring her. He gives in and goes with her, but wants her mom to give Scott a ride home so he doesn't have to walk in the cold. Eliza tells Scott that her mom is in a hurry, but he walks to school every day anyways. She then satisfyingly takes Dex away from Scott with a smirk on her face.

At Eliza's house, her family all tell Dex they're here for him for whatever he needs. He thanks them and heads to Eliza room, but Eliza follows and is upset all he could say was a half-hearted "thank you." Dex tells her he just wants to stop talking about what happened with his brother, and Eliza understands that everyone mourns in different ways. She tells him they can do whatever he wants, so he decides to play video games. While he's hooking up her Xbox, she starts giving him a back massage and asks him why he always runs away from his emotions. He explains he feels things a lot harder than most people, but he's learned to just put on a smile. She tells him she wishes he could be emotional around her like he is around Scott, showing her jealousy over their friendship. Dex tells her she should start treating him as well as Scott does and Eliza is completely taken aback by this statement. She then tells him he should have come to her when he heard the news about his brother, not Scott. He asks why she's so jealous of him and Eliza admits she's afraid Scott might love Dex more than she does. Dex is shocked to hear this and Eliza explains how Scott is infatuated with Dex and she's afraid Dex will leave her for Scott. Dex explains he's straight and has been hanging out with Scott because Eliza has been pulling away from him. Eliza explains she has a lot going on and she's been taking it out on Dex because it's easy. Dex tells her she needs to stop and then kisses her. Eliza then threatens him that if he ever chooses Scott over her again, she'll leave him and makes him promise not to do it again. He promises and Eliza is happy and starts to kiss him, but Dex is not into it.

In Same Love, Eliza and Dex are walking together in the hallway and she is complaining about how freshman don't know how to walk when suddenly she sees Scott walking towards them. She dodges him and gets very annoyed, asking if he's stalking them. Dex reminds her that he is their friend, but Eliza disregards this. Eric comes up to them and asks Dex for help on his science project, so Dex goes to help him, upsetting Eliza who tells Olivia that Dex is always so happy to see other people, but not her and that she already had to ask him to stop talking to Scott because of this. Olivia tells her that she's acting like a clingy monster which isn't attractive, but Eliza says she just doesn't want him to leave her. Olivia explains that guys need guy time and Scott and Dex need each other, but Eliza tells her he doesn't need guy time, he needs her time and explains that he's not over his brother's death yet, but is acting completely fine. Olivia mentions that guys don't like to show emotion, but if she shows she's supportive of him, he will around her. Olivia then tells her not to tell him who he can and can't talk to as they continue to walk together.

While eating lunch, Angel mentions that Scott doesn't sit with them anymore and is hanging out with his arch-nemesis, Keith. Dex is shocked by this, but to change his attention back to her, she reminds him that Scott needs other friends. After everyone at the table starts discussing how Keith has broken Scott's heart so many times, Dex starts to get worried and tells Eliza that maybe they should start talking to him again. Angel is confused and asks why they stopped, but Eliza gets annoyed and tells everyone to mind their own business. She then asks Dex if they can hang out that night, but Dex has plans with Eric. Eliza invites herself again, but Dex tells her they aren't inviting their girlfriends and are going to have a guy's night. Eliza asks what she's supposed to do, so Dex tells her to hang out with her friends and that he loves her, but needs time with his friends too. Eliza gets furious and pushes her food tray, telling him not to talk to her because he's annoying her. She then gets up and angrily storms off as everyone looks very annoyed with her. Angel follows her and tells her she didn't have to throw a temper tantrum, but Eliza tells her she's mad that Dex is ditching her for Eric. Angel tells her that she isn't Dex's whole life and he has other friends. Eliza tells her that Dex is her whole life, but Angel tells her that's not healthy. Eliza writes off her advice and tells her she wouldn't know since she's never had a boyfriend. She then walks away very upset.

Eliza sulks into her science class and joins Olivia and Alicia at a lab table, telling them that Dex blew her off for Eric. Olivia tells her that she doesn't own him and Eliza says she knows that, but she just wants him to want her as much as she wants him. Olivia then invites her to come to the beach with her that night while she does community service and while she isn't thrilled, she says she'll come. Their teacher tells them to get into lab pairs and Olivia and Alicia already partnered up, so Eliza starts looking for someone when she accidentally bumps into Brendan, knocking his books over. They both go to pick them up and almost bump heads, embarrassing them both. Brendan asks if she has a partner and she tells them she doesn't, so they decide to be partners.

Eliza at the beach.

Eliza meets Olivia at the beach later and while they're talking about why Olivia is there, Eliza is hit in the head with a Frisbee. Eliza rubs her head and is angry for a minute until she sees Brendan run over and apologize. She starts giggling and asks if he's stalking her. Olivia walks off to start collecting trash somewhere else and give them privacy, but keeps her eyes on them. Brendan tells her she looks gorgeous and tells her only says that to girls who he really means it about. Eliza is flattered, but tells him she has a boyfriend. Brendan lets her know it was just a compliment and Eliza gets embarrassed for thinking it meant something more. Brendan then suddenly lifts his shirt and asks Eliza if her boyfriend has abs like he does. Eliza laughs and tells him that he does as Olivia sees what's going on and rushes over, asking Eliza to help her pick up trash. Brendan tells Eliza he'll see her tomorrow in bio and asks if she still wants to be partners. Eliza tells him she does and says goodbye as Olivia drags her away. Eliza then asks her what that was about and Olivia calls her a hypocrite for stopping Dex from just talking to a girl, yet she was just flirting with Brendan. Eliza corrects her by saying she wasn't flirting, only he was, but that she told him she had a boyfriend. Olivia tells her she didn't know what would have happened if she didn't step in and Eliza gets annoyed and tells her she doesn't need to be judged right now before telling her to have fun cleaning up other people's trash and leaving.

The next day, Eliza and Brendan have to stay in the lab after class to finish their project because Brendan messed it up. He apologizes, but Eliza tells him it's okay and keeps looking for Dex who was supposed to pick her up after class. She gets a text saying he's with Brad and Chloe and she gets disappointed that he's ditching her again. She tells this to Brendan and says he's pulling away and she keeps trying to reel him back in, but it's just sending him further away. Brendan tells her he's crazy for not wanting to spend every moment with her because she's so gorgeous and sweet, which makes Eliza blush. Out of nowhere, Eliza kisses him and immediately is mad at herself for it, but Brendan tells her it's okay. Dex then walks up and asks if she's ready to go, so Eliza gets out of the situation and leaves with him and has Brendan finish up. Dex tries to kiss her as they leave, but she tells him that he's not making her feel wanted and tells him he's going to be all alone when she has enough and leaves him. Dex begs her to stay because he needs her and she tells him to start acting like it before kissing his nose and leaving. When she's around the corner, she looks horrified with what she did and feels horrible.

After school, Scott accidentally bumps into Eliza and Dex when they're all going out the door and when he apologizes, Eliza goes off on him and tells him to stop stalking them. Scott tells her he's not stalking them and is confused as to why they were friends two weeks ago but now they're not. Eliza says they need their privacy and tries to leave, but Scott tells her manipulating Dex the way she is will only lead her to being alone. Eliza then calls him a slut for running from Dex to Keith. Scott looks to Dex for help, but Dex tells him they just need some space from him, making Eliza extremely happy that he took her side.

In Catch My Breath, she is at Eric's birthday party and after Keith makes a sexual joke about blowing things, Eliza comments that no one needs to hear about what he and Scott do in their free time. She is then shocked and impressed when Eric gets a car from his parents

In I Write Sins Not Tragedies, Angel sits next to Dex and Eliza in class and asks if they heard what happened to Scott, meaning him being kicked out of his house after Keith revealed he was gay to his parents. Eliza says she heard, but doesn't seem very concerned. Angel asks how she couldn't care when they were best friends. Dex tries to tell Angel everything will be okay soon, but Angel tells him it won't and this is all their fault since Scott went to Keith because they ditched him. She calls them shitty human beings and leaves, which upsets Dex who now thinks Scott being homeless is because of him. Eliza tells him not to let Angel get to him and she's just angry she has to live with Scott now. Later, Dex reunites with Scott behind Eliza's back.

Eliza in the third season.

In Almost Is Never Enough, Eliza walks into Dex's class after it ends and sees him talking to her brother, Danny. She asks Danny if he's telling him any embarrassing stories about her and Danny mentions the time she puked on a girl at the fair, so she punches his arm and tells him to shut up as Dex laughs. Eliza then brings up the time they caught Danny trying on her princess dresses as revenge and he flicks her off before walking off. Eliza grabs the test Dex has in his hand and yells at him for getting an F. He says he'll do better on the next one, but she tells him he always says that and it never happens. She then asks if he's applied to any colleges yet and he says he has, but hasn't heard anything back yet. She tells him to get a tutor to help his grades, which Scott hears as he walks by and asks who needs one. Dex says that he does, but Eliza tells Scott he needs an actual one, not just a guy who gets straight A's. Scott suggests he does it since he won't make Dex pay and they both beg Eliza to let Scott do it, so she gives in, but tells them not to goof off. She then grabs Dex and pulls him away, saying he gets so annoying around Scott.

The next day, Eliza walks up to Scott's locker and tells him she knows he's trying to steal Dex away from her by tutoring him. Scott reminds her that he was friends with him before she started dating him and not everything is a conspiracy against her. Eliza says she knows he has feelings for him, but Scott tells her he doesn't anymore and that didn't give her the right to treat him or Dex the way she did. Eliza asks what she did to treat Dex badly and Scott calls her out for being both physically and mentally abusive but that no one notices because the girl is doing the abuse and society is sexist when it comes to that. Eliza denies being abusive and calls it wearing the pants. Scott tells her otherwise and mentions that he misses the old Eliza who used to be his best friend, which makes Eliza feel guilty about everything she did to him.

Eliza is later seen sitting on a bench alone and Dex comes and joins her, bringing up that he heard she and Scott got into a fight. Dex then asks if he ruined their friendship, and she says that he did. She then asks if she's more mean to him than she is nice and he tells her that she is. She then gets down on herself and says she worried so much about turning out like her father, but she's turned into a spitting image of him. Dex asks what she means and she admits that sometimes, she says and does stuff, but it's not consciously and it scares her, but it leaves her feeling better afterwards. She then admits of being scared of herself and what she might do, but Dex says he isn't scared of her, but needs for her and Scott to work things out. Eliza says she'll apologize for everything she's done and rests her head on him, thanking him for staying with her and thinks things are going to get better now.

In Vampire Money (2), she is seen at the Spring Fling with Dex on multiple occasions. When Abby storms into the bathroom after a fight with Eric, she finds Eliza and Brendan making out and Eliza asks for her to pretend she didn't see anything.

Season 4

Eliza seeing Dex show up at her door while she's with Brendan.

In Know Your Enemy, Eliza and Brendan are making out heavily in her bed and she stops him to ask if he has a condom. He asks if she wants to do it again, and starts to get one out of his wallet when she tells him she does. They are suddenly interrupted by a knock at her door and Dex starts calling her, which makes her panic, since she realizes Dex is outside her door and might catch them. Brendan asks what they should do and she leaves, telling Brendan that she'll keep Dex busy. She answers the door and asks Dex what's up, and he starts to dump his stressful time with his family on to her due to his brother's death and his father possibly getting sued by Sophie. He asks if she's busy and she hesitantly tells him she is not and starts freaking out as he walks into her house and towards her room, but is relieved when he enters and Brendan is gone. She tells him they can talk, but Dex tells her he'd rather just watch a movie. Eliza spots the condom still on the bed and quickly picks it up and tries to hide it, but Dex sees and misinterprets it as Eliza wanting to have sex with him, which he says he's not in the mood for. Eliza apologizes and tells him they can watch TV, thankful he is still oblivious to what just happened. She then gets a cute text from Brendan and blushes as she rests on Dex.

Eliza is at school the next day and bumps into Olivia, who's books fall. Eliza apologizes and hugs her, saying she hasn't seen her since before break started. Olivia tells her she was at her mom's every day, and Eliza apologizes, knowing she didn't have a good time. Olivia asks why she was rushing out of the chem lab and hopes it wasn't because she was making out with her side bae. Eliza tells her she was just picking up some assignments she missed. Olivia asks if her and Brendan are still a thing, and Eliza won't give her a definitive answer, saying it's none of her business. This annoys Olivia, who mentions how they used to tell each other everything, but things are different now since she's neglecting her perfect boyfriend for an asshole. Eliza tells her she's not neglecting Dex and to calm the shade, but Olivia presses that she's definitely betraying him. Eliza points out that this is why she doesn't tell Olivia things anymore, as she has become "Judge Judy." Olivia counters that she is being selfish and dumb and to just dump Dex if she doesn't want to be with him anymore, rather than cheating on him with someone she likes better. Eliza tells her that she still loves Dex, but he's been different since his brother died, but she doesn't blame him for it and still has feelings for him. Olivia tells her it's not fair she's stringing Dex along for the security and Brendan for the passion, but Eliza points out her and Brendan have only had sex four times. Olivia tells her it's wrong and she doesn't like it, but she won't tell anyone. Eliza is annoyed and leaves to find Dex, only to see him talking with Brendan, which Olivia finds comical and Eliza deems as Brendan planning something.

She confronts Brendan at his locker and asks why he was talking to Dex, and he says he was just telling him how awesome he thought his art was. Eliza tells him to cut it out and Brendan is confused as to why him and Dex can't be friends. Eliza asks him what he's trying to pull, but he says he isn't pulling anything. Eliza won't accept this and says it makes no sense for him to befriend the guy whose girlfriend he's fucking. Brendan tells her he's not going to say anything, but they are interrupted by Dex and Scott joining them. Dex asks Eliza if she knows Brendan, and Brendan says they've known each other for a while before walking off, leaving Eliza very stressed. Scott gets very upset, as he reminds Eliza and Dex that Brendan beat him up the year prior, which Eliza admits to forgetting. Eliza then makes nasty remarks at Sophie, who waves to them, and tells her she can't sue Dex's dad and then be all nice to them in person. Sophie tells her she might not even go through with it, but Eliza tells her she knows she'll do whatever she can to make Dex and her's lives miserable. Sophie then calls Dex's dad a prick for discriminating against her for being gay and Eliza tells her she should have beat the shit out of her the year before when she had the chance. Sophie tells her to do it and motions for her to punch her in the face, saying it's funny she suddenly cares about her boyfriend since everyone knows she abuses him. This sets Eliza off, who decks Sophie in the face and Dex and Scott jump in the hold Eliza back. Sophie apologizes to Dex, saying she isn't trying to start shit, and Dex tells her to leave as Scott asks Eliza what she's doing. She says she's defending her boyfriend, but Dex tells her everyone knows what his dad did was wrong. Eliza, still furious, says that Sophie must be lying, as she always tries to start shit. Dex tells her to calm down, which sets Eliza off even more, as she gets annoyed everyone accuses her of being awful to Dex, but then when she sticks up for him, she's still the bad guy. She storms off, leaving Dex and Scott very confused.

She later visits Dex at his locker and kisses him, apologizing for going bonkers and asks if they can hang out later. Dex tells her he wishes he could, but him and Brendan are hanging out, which concerns Eliza even more. She panics and leaves, running into Kat, who asks her what's wrong after seeing she is visibly upset. Eliza explains her situation, and Kat is disgusted that she would be having sex with Brendan, calling him a douche. Kat comes up with a plan to guilt Dex into not being friends with Brendan since he beat up Scott, and Scott is supposedly his best friend. Eliza finds the plan genius, and Kat warns her not to lose a great guy like Dex for a bad guy like Brendan. Eliza tells her that's what everyone keeps saying, and Kat tells her to listen to what the people around her are telling her for once in her life. Eliza ponders this, and is next seen with Brendan alone in a classroom. She asks him if he wants to hang out, but he tells her that she already knows he's hanging out with Dex. Eliza asks him to not be friends with him as she doesn't want Dex finding out about their affair. Brendan says he doesn't either, which is why he's befriending him, to make him less suspicious. Eliza tells him it's a dumb idea, but he points out that everything they've done so far is dumb too and they start to make out. Suddenly, Scott walks in and immediately freaks out. Eliza tries to tell him it isn't what it looks like, but Scott loses his mind and runs off and Eliza follows him, slapping him in the face to get him to calm down. Eliza tells him that they've been friends for a decade, and she needs him to keep this from Dex. Scott points out that she's treated him like crap for months, so why would he lie to his best friend for her, and Eliza tells him Dex is replacing him with Brendan anyways. This hits a nerve with Scott, and Eliza tells him she needs his help to stop them from being friends. She also points out how much Dex is going through, and him finding this out would make things so much worse. Eliza tells Scott to talk to Dex about how upset he is for hanging out with Brendan, but Scott won't do it unless she ends things with either guy. They shake on it, and Eliza adds fuel to the fire by telling Scott when Dex has said he's been hanging out with Eric, he's actually been hanging out with Brendan, which isn't true. This gets Scott very upset, as he reminisces on how people always leave him for someone better. Eliza apologizes to him for how awful his life is and how awful she was to him, but he needs to help Dex come back to his senses. She also tells him she never wanted him to know about the affair, as now he has a big secret to keep. Scott tells her if Dex ever finds out about the affair, he will take Dex's side, as she has screwed him too many times and walks away, leaving Eliza very frazzled.

She is later at the Hub with Scott and laments on how much she misses hanging out with him, and how she wants things to go back to normal. Scott agrees, and points out how she's getting coffee, despite never drinking it, but she says enough crazy stuff has happened, why not keep it going. They order their coffees, and Scott notices Dex and Brendan walk in, getting nervous about confronting Dex, but Eliza encourages him to stand up for himself and to not be a doormat. Scott confronts him and then leaves, and Eliza tells Dex that Scott is upset at him for befriending the guy who beat him up and accuses Dex of being an awful friend to Scott. Dex tells Brendan they can't be friends, and Brendan calls Scott a faggot, causing Dex to leave to find Scott and apologize. Eliza tells Brendan that he can't call Scott a faggot, which confuses Brendan, as he thought Eliza hated Scott anyways. Eliza explains that they were best friends for a long time, and even though they aren't anymore, he still means a lot to her. Eliza then calls Brendan out for trying to tell Dex about them, and Brendan admits he's starting to like her as more than just a booty call. Brendan then tells her she feels the same too, and is only staying with Dex so he doesn't go crazy and slit his wrists. Eliza tells him that's not true, but he tells her they have something special. Eliza tells him to stop, and admits to liking him as well, but she's not willing to give up on Dex for someone who beat up her friend. Brendan tells her that he's changed, and Eliza says that she has too, but not for the better, and if she stays with him, she'll just circle the drain. She tells him she needs time to think and leaves, leaving Brendan very upset.

Eliza then visits Dex's house and asks how he's doing mentally. He tells her he's not okay, and she tells him she wants to be there for him, as she knows she hasn't been the best girlfriend, but she just wants them to be okay. Dex tells them they are okay and hugs her tightly. It is then revealed she sent Brendan a text telling him they are over.

in Heaven Knows, she and Dex meet up with Scott and Eric, who is upset over Abby. Eliza assures him that everyone knows Abby is innocent and the cops will figure it out too soon enough. Eric isn't so sure, though.

Eliza in the fourth season.

In Ain't It Fun, Eliza is at the school late at night to retake a test and walks by Scott, who has a ton of his stuff with him. She asks what he's doing there, and he tells her that he's sleeping in the school. Eliza tells him he could sleep at Dex's and to stop being stubborn over forgiving him. When Scott refuses, as Dex has done him wrong too many times, Eliza takes the blame for it, saying she gave Dex an ultimatum between them. Scott points out that he chose Eliza, and Eliza apologizes again, as she knows how he feels about Dex, whether he wants to admit it or not, and that so many people have done him wrong, as he doesn't deserve it. She tells him to accept someone's help, and that he doesn't have to do everything on his own. Before he can respond, Danny walks up to them and tells Eliza it's time for them to go home. Eliza wishes Scott good luck as she leaves and he runs after her, asking if he can use her phone since his doesn't work anymore. He then calls someone and asks if he can spend the night, making Eliza happy.

In Glory and Gore, Eliza sees Scott and Dex together in the hallway at school, and looks surprised, asking them if they are on talking terms again. They say they are and are better than ever, so she asks what led to this, and Dex says they just talked things out, which she says is good, but seems a little worried. Dex mentions that Scott is the only person who tells him everything and knows everything, and Eliza gets even more worried, giving Scott a glare, unsure if he told Dex about Brendan or not. Dex then kisses Eliza and leaves for class and Eliza asks Scott if he told Dex, which he says he didn't. She reminds him that only him and Olivia know and she plans to keep it that way, not knowing that Dex was just around the corner listening.

Scott feels guilty and ends up telling Dex about Eliza and Brendan's affair, and Dex immediately finds Eliza and calls her out on it. Eliza pretends like she doesn't know what Dex is talking about, but when she knows he knows for sure, she asks him who told him. She knows it's Scott, and calls him out for betraying her just like he does with everyone else. Dex then yells at her and tells her to keep Scott out of it, since he was just being a good friend. Eliza tells him to stop yelling and they can figure things out later like they always do. Dex tells her they are done this time, and for good, shocking Eliza, who tells him he can't do this to her. Dex tells her that she had no problem cheating on him, so he has no problem leaving her now, and starts to leave, Eliza follows him, fuming, and tells him that Scott has been in love with him since they met, and she kept that secret for him since she's a good friend. Dex doesn't immediately believe her, and she tells him that Scott follows him around like a puppy because he is obsessed with him. Scott gets very upset and tells Eliza to shut up, but she asks him why she should since he had no problem telling Dex her secret. Dex then asks Scott if it's true, and Scott can't answer, but says "fuck you" to Eliza and storms off. Eliza looks satisfied that Scott is upset and tells Dex that if he forgives Scott, he can forgive her too, but Dex disagrees and is still furious at her, telling her goodbye for good before leaving. Olivia then tells Eliza that what she did was low, and she tells her she was just doing to Scott what he did to her. Olivia tells her she should have just admitted her mistakes, and Scott deserves a better friend than her. Olivia then leaves her alone, upset over everything that just happened.

Later in the episode, it is mentioned by Sophie that Eliza is going around the school and telling people that Dex is gay for Scott.

In With Every Heartbeat, Eliza approaches Scott and tells him that she forgives him for telling Dex about her affair. Scott counters this by saying he did the right thing, and doesn't need her forgiveness. Eliza tells him that he backstabbed her and ruined her relationship, but Scott tells her she ruined it herself when she cheated on him. This sets Eliza off, who tells him that it's sad he has to go around ruining other people's relationships because he's so depressed being single. Scott tells her that she can make him the villain all she wants, but he knows he did the right thing and knows she's the devil. Eliza tells him she shouldn't have cheated on Dex, but it wasn't Scott's place to tell him. Scott tells her that he was being a good friend to him, which Eliza hasn't been to him since she met Dex. Eliza tells him she doesn't want to fight, but Scott says he's not putting up with her shit anymore and leaves Eliza looking very upset.

In Call Me When You're Sober, she spots Dex and Sophie talking and calls them Clearwater's new couple and calls Dex out for moving on so fast, even though Sophie has a girlfriend.

In Bed of Lies, Eliza walks into the school and sees Chloe and Brittany, running up to join them and asks what's up with them. Brittany asks why she's talking to them, and Chloe says they're not friends after everything Eliza did. They walk away as Eliza pleads with them, and looks very hurt. She sees Olivia and asks her why everyone hates her. Olivia says since she became a mega bitch and hurt both Dex and Scott. Eliza admits she's done some bad stuff, but is still the same person, but Olivia points out the Eliza she knows wouldn't abuse her boyfriend or cheat on him. Eliza is disappointed that everything is being turned against her, but Olivia tells her if it is, it's because she did it to herself. Eliza asks if there's anything she can do to get her friends back, and Olivia tells her to try and fix things, which Eliza sets out to do, saying she misses having her friends.

She is walking in the hall and passes Brendan, who playfully nudges her in the breast, which gives Eliza a great deal of pain. Brendan apologizes and says he didn't think he nudged her that hard, and Eliza says that he didn't, they're just tender. This freaks Brendan out, and Eliza asks if they can talk, which Brendan is skeptical about, but Eliza apologizes for how things went. Brendan tells her he knew it wouldn't end well, and Eliza asks if they can get lunch sometime, but Brendan doesn't think it's a good idea, and thinks they should stay away from each other for a while to save each other's reputations. Eliza reluctantly agrees and apologizes for bothering him, but Brendan tells her he doesn't want to do this, they just have to. She walks away from him and overhears people talking about them getting back together now that she's done with Dex. This upsets her even more and she goes into the bathroom, holding back tears.

She approaches Dex later and asks him to talk, begging for just two minutes. Dex is reluctant, but Eliza tells him he always gives people more than they deserve, so to just do the same for her. He agrees and Eliza apologizes for cheating on him, but points out that he cheated on her too when he kissed Scott. Dex tells her it was after they broke up, but Eliza knows they kissed when they dated too, so gets upset when she realizes they're still kissing now. Dex admits he kissed Scott because Scott made him feel wanted, unlike her. He tells her it was wrong, but it was one kiss vs her fucking a guy multiple times. He gets very angry and tells her not to try to make him feel guilty for dumping her after everything she did. She starts gagging and admits she's felt very nauseous and tired lately from all the stress. Dex gets nervous and tells her to take a pregnancy test, since those are symptoms of pregnancy and they didn't use a condom every time they had sex. Eliza is adamant that she is not pregnant, and just came to try and patch things up. Dex tells her she's ruined everything and to stay away from him and Scott, since she ruins everything she touches and leaves her very upset and a little nervous over his pregnancy claims.

Eliza is later on her laptop looking very upset as Olivia and Troy walk by and ask her how getting all her friends back is going. She explains it's taken the back burner as a new problem has arose. Olivia sits down with her and Eliza admits she thinks she might be pregnant, as she's showing a lot of signs and admits her period is late, which she didn't even realize due to everything else going on. Moon walks by and Eliza asks her for help, asking if she can have one of Jamie's pregnancy tests. Moon is shocked to hear she might be pregnant and Eliza admits the father could be either Dex or Brendan, getting upset at herself for her stupidity. Moon tells her they can take it together that night and Eliza starts to think what everyone says about her is true.

Eliza seeing the positive pregnancy test.

That night, Eliza and Moon are sitting on her bed after she took the test, waiting to get the results. Danny walks in her room and asks if she knows where the advil is. When Eliza tells him that she doesn't, he goes to check in the bathroom, which is where her test is. Eliza and Moon freak out and try to reach the bathroom before him, but are too late and he holds up the pregnancy test, which is positive, asking whose this is. Eliza's feet give out and she falls to the ground as she sees the result. Danny starts to freak out as well, as he realizes it's her's. Eliza starts to cry and shake her head as Danny grills her on who the father is, and Eliza tells him she doesn't know, explaining it could be multiple people. Danny asks how she could be so stupid as she continues to cry and says she doesn't believe this is happening. Danny then laments how his presidency will be ruined when people find out his sister is pregnant and Moon calls him out for only thinking about himself. Eliza breaks up their tiff and tells them that this information doesn't leave this hallway, pointing out that not even her parents can know as her father might start drinking even worse. Danny tells her that people will find out eventually, but Eliza tells him that they won't since she's getting rid of it and runs to her room, slamming the door behind her and sobbing on her floor.

The next day, Eliza is at the Hub with Moon, who asks her if she's still getting an abortion. Eliza tells her that she's going now and asks if she'll go with her. Moon tells her she made up her mind too quickly and needs more time to make a decision. Eliza tells her that she wants the baby out of her now, and that Moon can't tell anyone about this, as the only thing worse than people finding out she was pregnant, would be people finding out she had an abortion. Moon agrees to go with her, but tells her that she thinks she's making a mistake. Eliza tells her that she feels dirty having the baby inside of her and not knowing who the father is, and that this is the only option if she doesn't want her life ruined. Moon tells her she could do it and knows she would be a good mom, but Eliza says she couldn't do it without a boyfriend or friends and that now, she finally hates herself as much as everyone else hates her. Moon tells her this is one mistake, and not to be so hard on herself, and they prepare to go, using Danny's car which he let Eliza borrow. As they leave, they hear the lacrosse team making fun of her to Brendan and laugh at her as she leaves. She then overhears the guys ask Brendan how good she was in bed, and Brendan lies and tells them she was awful, which she gets very hurt by and continues on to the clinic.

In the waiting room at the clinic, Eliza is wearing sunglasses so no one recognizes her and Moon assures her they'll knock her out so she doesn't feel anything. She then makes sure that her parents think she's spending the night at Moon's and asks Moon if she's judging her for doing this. Moon tells her she's not and a nurse comes to bring her back for the procedure. She hugs Moon before going back and taking a deep breath as she enters the room and the door shuts.

In Ain't No Rest For the Wicked (2), Eliza is at the Spring Fling and when Dex accidentally bumps into her, she tells him it's okay. He asks her if she's here with Brendan, and she tells him she's here alone. Eliza asks him if they can talk and she tries apologizing for cheating on him gets upset when she notices he's watching Scott the whole time, asking if he can listen to her for 5 seconds. Dex tells her he doesn't even owe her that, and she tells him to go spend time with his boyfriend then. She shoulder checks him and storms off, upset. She later looks completely shocked when Dex asks Scott to be his boyfriend in front of the entire school later on. 

Eliza in the latter half of Season 4.

In All About You, Eliza sits next to Dex at lunch and asks how he's been doing since being rejected by Scott. Dex tells her to mind her own business, but she points out everyone knows, so it's everyone's business. She points out that she warned Dex that Scott was a shitty person and he should have listened to her. Dex tells her to shut up and tells her that Scott is the greatest person he's ever met and she shouldn't say one more bad thing about him since for every bad thing about Scott, there are a hundred for her. Eliza tells him that they deserve each other and leaves. The next day at school, when Scott and Dex are showing off their new relationship to everyone at school, Eliza looks upset and bitter while everyone else cheers for them and says that she won't let this happen before storming off.

In Dream Catcher, Eliza is walking through the school with Moon and Keith, discussing how they are all miserable, Eliza because no one will shut up about how adorable Scott and Dex are now that they're together. Eliza mentions how they're lives suck, and Moon reminds them that at least they don't have cancer, bringing Eliza back down the earth, and telling Moon she probably doesn't have cancer. Alicia and Angel come up to them and invite them to a party and Moon gets mad at them for mentioning she has an important doctor's appointment to them, reminding them that she doesn't want anyone knowing she might have cancer and to keep their mouths shut. Eliza doesn't understand why she doesn't want anyone to know and feels guilty for bringing it up. 

After a series of events leads to Jamie finding Eliza's abortion paperwork in Moon's room and thinking it was Moon who had the abortion, which leads to Julia running a protest against Moon and her abortion at the school, Moon tells Eliza she needs to tell people it was actually her who had it to get the heat off of Moon. Eliza doesn't want to, since when people find out she might have cancer, they'll understand why she would have had it and not be mad at her like they would be at Eliza if they found out the truth. Moon asks her why she's being such a bitch to her after everything she did for her, and Eliza explains that people cannot find out the abortion was her's and not Moon's. Moon threatens to tell people if Eliza doesn't, and Eliza threatens to end her if she does that. Eliza admits to being a heartless bitch when Moon calls her one, and tells her that nothing will happen to Moon if she takes the fall, but Eliza's life will be over if she does. Eliza then leaves Moon crying over what is happening.

Moon later storms into the lunchroom, and up to Eliza, telling her that she is going to tell everyone the truth. Moon then gets on a table and announces to the room that Eliza has something to tell everyone. Eliza takes control of the situation and tells everyone that they should all band together and raise some money for Moon as she fights cancer. Everyone agrees and Moon tells everyone that she doesn't have cancer, so it won't be needed. Moon storms out, and Eliza follows her, trying to talk to her, but Moon calls her a disgusting person and karma will get her one day. Moon later tells Julia that it was Eliza who had the abortion.

In Ultraviolence, Eliza is putting on lip gloss at her locker when Jamie approaches her and tells her it's fucked up that Eliza is letting Moon take the fall for her abortion. Eliza just says it's funny how life works that way, unbothered. Jamie tells her that people will find out eventually, so she might as well just fess up now. Eliza gets annoyed that Jamie is calling her out and tells her that she's covered all of her bases and that no one will ever find out. She apologizes, but says she has to save her own skin in this situation before walking off, leaving Jamie angry. She then sends screenshots that Moon sent her of her and Eliza's texts about the abortion to Clearwater Secrets in retaliation.

Eliza is leaving class when Olivia approaches her and tells her that she knew Eliza was a bitch, but she's reached a whole new level. Eliza is confused and Olivia lets her know that she knows that the abortion was her's. Eliza freaks out and asks how she knows about that and Olivia lets her know that someone leaked it to Clearwater Secrets. Eliza tries to say it's a lie, but Olivia tells her there are texts and everyone now knows Eliza is a disgusting person. Olivia storms away angrily and Dex then ambushes her, upset that he was a father and didn't even know about it. Eliza says she didn't know if the baby was his or Brendan's, which is why she aborted it. Dex is still very upset that she never talked him about it, but Eliza says that when Dex said he never wanted to talk to her again, she thought he wouldn't want to be a part of the baby's life. Dex said that would have been an exception and they continue to argue about her reasonings until she leaves, saying she has a lot of damage control to do. Danny approaches her and is very upset that people found out since it might effect his presidency, but Eliza says that he won't have to worry and gets on a table, shouting for everyone to listen. She tells everyone that the reason she got the abortion is because she was in an abusive relationship and was scared that with a baby, she would never be able to escape the abuse. Everyone starts to feel sympathy for her and she tells Danny that she deserves an Oscar nom for that speech. Danny asks what's going to happen to Dex, since everyone will hate him, but Eliza says it doesn't matter since the two of them are okay.

Eliza facing off with Jamie and Moon.

Scott storms Eliza after hearing what happened and tells her that she's going to tell the truth because Dex is leaving the school since everyone is turning against him. Eliza tells him that there was a moment where she felt bad about lying, but then she remembered how Scott and Dex backstabbed her by getting together and doesn't care anymore. Scott tells her that she knows he liked Dex first and to just tell the truth and end all of this, but she refuses. Jamie and Moon overhear and take Scott's side, saying they know a lot of things about Eliza that they could leak. They start listing off all of the terrible things that Eliza wouldn't want people to know and threaten to tell Clearwater Secrets all of them if she doesn't tell the truth. Eliza gives in and tweets that Dex never abused her and angrily leaves after saying "fuck you" to the three of them.

Eliza goes to Bubble and gets the cold shoulder from everyone, even Chloe who says the room got a bit more disgusting when Eliza walked in. Eliza sits at a table alone, but is soon joined by Keith who says he heard what happened and that they are now both pariahs because of Scott. He says he has some plans to get Scott back and get their revenge and Eliza is immediately in, saying it's time for his life to crumble.

In Wide Awake (1), she is seen alone at Bubble yet again, but when Olivia sees her, it gives her the idea to fake a pregnancy in order to keep her boyfriend from moving.

In My Everything, Eliza hears about Danielle and Peyton's plan to expose the person behind Clearwater Secrets and approaches them at the Hub saying she wants to help them. Danielle asks why they would let her help since none of them like her and Eliza retorts that she has ideas. Peyton is suspicious that she has something to hide, but Eliza shows them the new blast that was sent out about her not knowing the identity of her baby's father, which is her reason for wanting to shut them down. She also says whoever it is will then be the most hated person in school and it won't be her anymore. She then sits down and tells them her plan to expose them. They enact her plan by exposing them at the World Fair and she is there to help and is just as shocked as everyone else to find out it was Moon behind it.

In Her Diamonds, Eliza gets in line to get her yearbook and tries talking with Brittany, Chloe, and Olivia who all are confused as to why she is talking to them. After Eliza complains about her school picture, Olivia flat out asks why she's talking to them because they're not friends anymore. Eliza is confused and tells them that she helped expose Moon as the Clearwater Secrets troll and everyone has moved on to hating her now, not Eliza. Brittany says that they can hate two people and Olivia says she's still a bitch. Eliza tries to win them over, but Chloe tells her to get her yearbook and leave them alone, which Eliza woefully does. Eliza then tries to talk to Brendan to see if people still hate him over their affair, but he said no one ever hated him since he wasn't the one cheating on their significant other. Eliza again brings up helping take down Clearwater Secrets and wonders why people focusing on that, and Micah tells her it's because she only did it to get her friends back, not because she cared. Brendan then says being seen with her is going to ruin his image and leaves Eliza very hurt. Moon leaves her class after being bullied and bumps into Eliza who tries to explain that they're the two most hated people in school and it's pointless to hate each other. Moon counters that Eliza exposed her as behind Clearwater Secrets to get people to like her again, but Eliza says she had no idea it was Moon. Moon says that she's a good person and Eliza is just vile inside, pushing Eliza over the edge who storms away and says she's done being nice.

Eliza complains to Keith about getting no credit for Clearwater Secrets, but he tells her that Liam and Zak exposed them, she just was there for show. Keith tries to push his plot to end Scott, but Eliza says she can't focus on revenge right now, since she's just trying to get her friends back and starts to formulate a plan. At lunch, she sits at her old table with her old friends who are all confused as to why she's sitting with them. She says that a lot has happened, but they can still be friends, but Scott tells her that they can't and asks her to leave. Eliza says she's trying to be the bigger person, but they all shut her down and force her to leave. Eliza sits alone and Danny and Carly pass by, commenting on what a sad picture this is. They try to get her to apologize for real, but instead she wants an apology for being made into an outcast, which they find ridiculous. Eliza goes to her locker and finds her yearbook, which she accidentally left with her old friends, in there with devil horns and "crazy ass bitch" written on her photo. This pushes Eliza over the edge and she goes into a rage where she breaks the door off her locker and chucks her yearbook down the hallway, hitting Lana.

Eliza begging her mother to be homeschooled.

She gets home and sobs to her mother, asking if she can switch schools because everyone hates her. Her mom asks why they hate her and Eliza says it's because she's stupid and does stupid things, but her mother counters that she's a teenager and all teenagers do stupid things. She tells her mom that she had to sit alone and they drew devil horns on her yearbook photo, but her mother tells her that it's almost summer and everything will blow over. Eliza is adamant about leaving, even asking if they can move. After begging her mom to not make her go back, her mother says the only other option is homeschooling. Eliza jumps on the idea and although her mom is hesitant, she wants to see Eliza be happy again, and agrees. Eliza is elated and promises to be happy again now that she's out of that school.

Eliza meets Keith at the Hub after getting rejected by Kat and tells him that she's leaving Clearwater. She tells him that she doesn't have any other option, but Keith tells her that she could stick it out and win everyone back. Eliza says that that's never going to happen and she has nothing left to give to even try. She also says she doesn't like the person that high school has made her become. Keith asks if she'll still help him take down Scott, and she is very eager too, thinking it was him who defaced her yearbook. Eliza looks very happy as they talk about taking him down, happier than she's been in a long time.

Season 5

In Fight Song, Eliza helps Danny pack his final bags into his car as he leaves for college and doesn't find him leaving a big deal, since he'll be back for Thanksgiving. Eliza seems over Danny and Carly's dramatic goodbye as she starts to leave and tells her mom she already said goodbye to them on her way out as her mom seems upset Eliza is leaving. Her father follows her and reminds her that her homeschooling assignments started and wants to make sure she is doing them, which she says she is. Her father is very adamant about her getting her schoolwork done since this is what she wanted and doesn't want her crying to him when she misses her friends. Eliza retorts that she has no friends since everyone hates her and her father tells her that running away from her problems won't solve anything. This angers Eliza who flips her father off and gets more annoyed when she sees how many school assignments she has on her laptop.

Eliza is seen failing one of her online quizzes. She gets a FaceTime call from Keith and asks him how his first day back at Clearwater is going. He complains about having a class with Scott, who was going on about his relationship with Dex. Keith pushes for them to start their revenge plot like Eliza agreed to, but Eliza says she isn't so sure she wants to go along with it anymore since she doesn't even go to their school anymore and doesn't see a point, also considering asking Scott for help with her English assignments. Keith is confused, since Scott helped push Eliza out of the school, but Eliza corrects him and tells him that no one made her leave and she made that decision on her own, but also that her and Scott used to be best friends and all the drama that happens at Clearwater isn't her world anymore. Keith is upset that Eliza changed her mind and calls her a traitor before hanging up on her, annoying Eliza who goes back to her online work.

Eliza after she talks to Scott on the phone.

Later on, Eliza gets out of the shower and hears her parents fighting over her father's alcoholism. She overhears her father saying that Eliza can't even go to real high school, so there's no way she's going to college and will end up a nobody. Eliza goes into her room and sees the F she got on her quiz, upsetting her even more and leading to her calling Scott and asking if they can get lunch. They meet at the Hub and Scott comments that them getting together is weird. Eliza agrees and apologizes for this coming out of nowhere, saying she needed to get out of her house and that she missed him. Scott says he misses the old Eliza who used to be his best friend, and Eliza agrees, saying she wants to be that girl again instead of this psycho she's being. She then orders Scott his favorite drink, and he is shocked that she remembers it. She asks him how things are with Dex, but after Scott asks if she really wants to know, they both agree to leave him out of the conversation. Scott asks her how her homeschooling is going and she says it's nice to be away from the drama, but then asks him for some help. Scott rejects her offer, saying he is simply too busy. Eliza takes this very personally and says she thought he wanted to fix things, going to leave and ignoring Scott's claims that he does want to fix things. She storms out and calls Keith, saying she changed her mind and looks very excited when Keith asks her to meet to go over the plan he has.

They go to Scott and Dex's apartment and set up nails in their driveway so that they pop Scott's tires, but Eliza starts to think that this isn't enough and wants to hurt Dex who broke her heart. She sees a hammer and smashes Dex's windshield with it, shouting that she's not a piece of trash he can leave behind and forget about. She goes berserk on his car, absolutely destroying it as Keith tries to stop her, saying she's gone too far. Scott and Dex come out of their house and Keith drags Eliza away before they are caught. Keith is upset with Eliza and says that they will know this was her, but Eliza does not seem to care in the slightest, saying they won't be able to prove anything. Keith calls her psycho and is shocked she's still so upset with Dex when she was the one cheating on him, which upsets Eliza who just wants one person to be on her side. They start to work on their alibis and find that Keith might not have one, causing him to get more upset with her for going rogue, but she still doesn't see the issue, saying he wanted revenge and she made sure they got it before walking home, satisfied with her actions.

In Feeling Myself, Olivia visits Eliza at her house and she is very confused. She lets Olivia in and asks what made her want to come over. Olivia explains that she misses the relationship they used to have and Eliza explains that Olivia was the one who ended it. Olivia explains that once Eliza started doing things she didn't agree with, she stopped caring about her and moved on, which now she sees was wrong because she has no one. Eliza reassures her that she still has friends, people are just busy with their lives. Olivia speaks about her hopelessness and lack of caring about anything, which scares Eliza. She gets even more scared when Olivia admits she's having suicidal thoughts. She takes Olivia's hand and admits that she knows she's a bitch and has done terrible things, but she's never not wanted to be Olivia's friend and just was staying away because she thought Olivia hated her. Eliza says she hates how things changed for the worst and asks if they can hang out sometime, which Olivia agrees to. They hug and Eliza tells her that if she ever feels that way again, to let her know so that she can talk her through it. Olivia says she feels like a burden, but Eliza assures her she's not and can use all the company she can get while she's tucked away in her house. Olivia says they both need someone right now, and Eliza says it's a good thing they found their way back to each other and rests her head on Olivia's shoulder, happy to have a friend.

Eliza in the fifth season.

In Love Me or Leave Me, Eliza confidently walks down the runway in one of Keith's looks during the practice for his upcoming fashion show. She meets up with him afterwards and thanks him for letting her participate, which he says she probably needs so she can get out of the house. Eliza says that the other girls don't want her there since they're all giving her dirty looks, but Keith says they'll just have to deal with her being there. Eliza then brings up that she has another idea for revenge against Scott and Dex. Keith reminds her they already got their revenge when she destroyed Dex's car. Eliza corrects him that that was just part 1, and Keith shoos her away, saying he has too much to deal with right now and they won after neither of Scott or Dex retaliated, so she needs to just move on. Eliza says that after everything they did, they deserve worse, and Keith tells her that whatever plan she has, she'll have to do alone this time. Eliza looks very hurt and goes backstage to change, defeated.

Later, as the fashion show is going on, Eliza ditches and instead gets revenge on Keith for shooting her down and approaches his parents in the audience, bringing up Keith's relationship with a 40 year old, saying it's so cool of them to be okay with it. When his parents are confused, Eliza points Greg out and tells them he's dating Keith. They both are shocked and go to deal with the situation as Eliza looks evilly satisfied. She goes backstage and calms Keith down, who is very upset she's late. She pretends like everything is fine and goes to change into her dress, but watches as Keith's parents and Greg fight in front of Keith, happy with the results of her plan. It is later revealed that Eliza blamed it on Scott, and Keith believed her. Kat calls Eliza and tells her that she knows Eliza pinned her sabotage on Scott and that she knows Eliza is a good person, so she won't tell anyone what she knows. But, she warns Eliza to leave Scott alone, which Eliza disagrees with but expresses her gratitude for Kat not saying anything. Kat warns her not to give her a reason to as Eliza looks a little shaken.
