The Lying Game

A few months ago, I discovered I had a twin sister.

And then she she asked me to take her place,

keep the secret, find our real mother

and try to stay alive.

Put yourself in my shoes.

How long could you keep up the lying game?

All I had to do was get a tire iron

and drop it into Mr. Rybak's bag.

Frame himself for murder?

Why would he do that?

To throw us off.

I knew Dad was innocent.

And you never listened

because he's not your real father.

What will it take to make this right?

And if you were to promise me right now

that you have told me everything.

I swear you know everything.

I want you to work things out with Kristin.

And I'd like to be there for you.

I hooked up with Jordan.

Now, it turns out he's my new stepbrother.

You should really think about going solo.

It looks really good on you.

Thayer has always been there for me.

You and Sutton are perfect for each other.

So, it's cool if Ethan and I give in

to the chemistry between us? Yeah.

What took you so long?

Aw, crap.

Morning, sleepyhead.

God, what did I do?

Me.

Several times, actually.

Don't you remember?

I was really drunk.

Ow, I wasn't thinking.

Um, we've both know we've been thinking

about doing that for a while now.

It was only a matter of time.

I never should've come here.

What are you doing? I thought we'd spend the day together.

I've got school.

Well, you had a good time last night though, didn't you?

That's not the point, okay?

It was a mistake, Sutton.

Can I have my shirt back?

This is because of Emma, isn't it?

I'm... I'm just really sorry about the whole thing, okay?

Well, you didn't seem to be too sorry last night.

I... I know... y... you're right.

You're right and that just was not fair to you.

I realize that and, um...

I promise it won't happen again.

You really shouldn't have left the party so early.

You still had guests to entertain.

Like Laurel Mercer?

Admit it: she's just a way for you to get closer to her dad.

Maybe, but I'd play along if I were you.

'Cause it be a real shame

if some of your past mistakes were to come to light.

Wouldn't it?

You know what?

We can talk about this later.

'Cause you're late for school.

I hate it when you get parental on me.

Sutton?

How many times do I have to tell you?

I'm sorry, but this is an emergency.

I slept with Ethan.

That's not an emergency.

Unless, of course,

you didn't use protection?

No, I did.

He... he freaked out this morning.

And told me that he wished it didn't happen.

I'm so sorry, Sutton.

Boys can be so cruel.

This is her fault.

If I could just get rid of Emma, Ethan will forget about her.

She's your sister.

Someday we're going to be a family again.

And you need to get along with her.

He's holding out hope for her.

Just like your father.

Holding out hope for Kristin.

Amazing how you can make my problems all about you.

The truth is, you could learn by my example.

Ted and I kind of had a moment last night.

Yay for you.

Yay for you too.

If you follow my lead.

I don't give up so easily, and neither should you.

All right, thanks for the ride, man.

Where the hell you been all night?

Screwing up like usual.

You know?

I had to hitch a ride.

You're damn right you screwed up.

Your teacher called.

Mr. Beattie?

You plagiarize a paper?

Sounds like you already know the answer to that.

Yeah, he ran it through some software.

Found out it was bought online.

Dan, I know I shouldn't have done that, okay?

Save it, Ethan.

I can't let you go back to juvie.

So I got Beattie to give you a second chance.

You're going to take an exam on all the coursework.

It's real simple: you pass the test, you pass the course.

Okay, thanks.

When is the test?

Tomorrow morning.

It's tomorrow morning?

How am I going to pass a test tomorrow morning?

I don't know, but you better figure it out

because your whole life depends on it.

What happened to your eye?

I'm just making friends.

Everybody in jail loves the D.A.

Let me get this straight.

Dan, our Dan,

came up with this crazy theory that I'm trying to frame myself?

You know it makes more sense than your own theory.

After all, it was a man

who called the waitress to set you up.

Rebecca could've done that.

She could've hired someone.

Or... you made the call yourself.

I thought you were trying to represent me here.

The objective was to get me out of jail.

Whose side are you on?

When you hired me, you told me

that if you could convince me of your innocence,

you could convince a jury too. Well...

I'm not as convinced as I used to be.

Pull the waitress's phone records.

That'll prove I didn't make the call.

Dan's already on it.

Should have them this afternoon.

You know, Theresa, you really ought

to keep your eye on the ball.

Rebecca's pulling the strings on this one.

Not me.

I heard the strange ringtone

and I found this hidden in the garage.

- A cell phone? - Yeah.

I thought the police already searched your whole house.

Well, I know, it's weird that they didn't find it,

but it's got to be my dad's, so I have to turn it in.

No, hold on, we need to check it and see who he called.

I already did.

All incoming calls were blocked.

And if he made any calls out, he cleared the log.

Can't you hack into it and see what he deleted?

But that might be considered tampering with evidence.

Thayer, this is going to be our only way

we're gonna know what he's been up to all this time.

Please?

Can you just try?

Okay.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Aren't they adorable?

I can't believe they finally got together.

She's coming.

Uh, act natural.

Oh, hi.

- Hey, how's everything? - Hey.

Everything is fine.

Were you spying on me?

Us?

No.

Just came in here to brush my hair.

With my brush?

Okay, we were totally spying.

Oh, my God.

You and Thayer... this is awesome.

Way to hold firm, Laurel.

Mads, you should've come out and talked to him.

Especially after what happened last night.

Well, his lips seemed pretty busy just now.

So, I figured I'd do it later.

Okay, listen, not to make this all about me,

but I need to ask you guys a question.

What do you think about me asking Jordan out?

Okay...

terrible idea.

No...

How well do you know him?

What? You think he's out of my league?

No, of course not.

I just think that...

I think you guys'd be great together.

You should totally go for it. No reason not to.

This is disgusting!

What is this?

God!

- What's going on? - Are you okay?
