The Arbitrator encourages Alicia and Lucca to focus on how Coliseum lied to it’s clients and not how it shortchanged its students on an education. 

Jason finds that the school targets Veterans because they are able to get GI and Federal loans but when Maggie’s poor attendance is brought into play, the case starts to fall apart. When Eli overhears that they can’t do a class action suit due to the student contract, he suggests a debt strike. 350 students threaten not to pay their debt to the college. When Alicia and Lucca mention that this will hurt the deal the school has to be bought out, the school counter sues. But Alicia and Lucca get the shareholders, who stock price is falling to threaten the school with a suit and they come to a settlement. 

Alicia tracks down the scam artist stealing the students money and persuades him to give back Maggie’s $8,000 while carrying a tire iron.
