Twisted

Previously on "Twisted"...

There's been a car accident. It's Vikram.

I'm sorry, but he's dead.

Someone moved his body. Put it in that car.

Is someone trying to protect us?

Nights have been below the 30s this last week, haven't they?

It's awfully cold to be driving with your window down.

- How are you doing, Jack? - Danny.

You remember Whitney, right? My little girl.

- I was looking for you. - Lacey.

Do you mind showing her around?

- Sure. - Lead on, my student guide.

Before Jo, I had another baby.

Maybe finding that child will help us find our way back.

When I came to Green Grove,

I was coming from juvie.

- Did you know Danny? - He swore to me that

once he got out, he would find his dad

and kill him.

Why can't you just tell me what's wrong?

- I killed my dad! - If it was self-defense,

then why didn't you just come forward?

I told Lacey the truth about my dad.

We broke up. She said that there's something between us.

Haven't you lied to me enough?

- You were there, I didn't... - You manipulated me.

And I covered for you, Danny.

No wonder you are so worried

about becoming your dad... you are just like him.

* You win, I give up... *

Yo, man. What's up?

Why'd you do it?

- Calm down. - Why did you tell her?

Tell who?

You know who... Jo.

You told her I wanted to kill my dad?

That I talked about it in juvie?

Well, you did talk about it.

What does it matter? I mean, your dad... he died in the car wreck.

I'm done screwing around with you, Charlie.

Look, when I told her about juvie,

it just came out, okay?

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to screw things up for the two of you.

I think you did.

Well... sorry you feel that way.

I'll talk to Jo.

And I'll just tell her that everything you said in juvie was...

No. Don't talk to Jo about me.

Ever again. You got it?

Yeah. Got it.

Oh, crap. I fell asleep.

I gotta get back before Whitney wakes up.

Aww, five more minutes.

I've already called and told her you were going to be late.

Not this late.

Thought you might be shacked up here.

Fun night?

So, Whitney,

it's your first day at Green Grove High, huh?

You nervous?

Not really.

This is like my fourth school, so I got it down.

Yeah.

Whitney's great at making friends, right?

Just like my daddy.

- Excuse me. - Sorry.

That's okay. Well, uh...

You know, if you have trouble finding your classroom

or, you know, anything,

I'm sure Danny could help you. Right, Danny?

I do know where the classrooms are.

I will be fine. I've already met some really cool people.

Like Lacey. Danny's ex.

Ex?

Yeah. It's fine.

Don't worry about it.

Uh, Danny, how's soccer?

It's good. Yeah, it's going good.

I'm actually going to head in.

I got this trig test I need to study for.

Mom, can I talk to you for a second?

Sure.

Bye, guys.

I'm sorry you had to find out

about me and Jack this way, but...

Look, I told Lacey.

Oh, my God.

- And then she... - She broke up with me, yeah.

Well, did you explain that it was an accident?

- I mean, did you tell her that... - Trust me.

She knows everything now.

But she's not going to tell anyone.

They may be mad at me,

but they don't want me to go to jail.

- "They"? - Yeah, Jo's not exactly

in my corner right now, either.

She accused me of being like dad.

Well, that's ridiculous. You're nothing like him.

I guess not.

If you don't want to be him,

then don't be him. It's that simple.

Let's roll, future stepbro.

Can't be late on my first day.

Hey, how are you?

Fine.

I, uh... I heard that you and Danny broke up.

Word travels fast.

Yeah.

I'm just really sorry.

What do you have to be sorry for?

Just... that it happened.

And that you're hurting.

But honestly, I think you're better off.

I mean, we're both better off.

I really don't want to talk about this right now.

Okay, you're right. I agree.

I just...

if you do want someone to listen,

or hang out with,

I'm here, okay?

Good to know.

That looked tense. Girl trouble?

It's nothing. How's your first day of school going?

Well, the first 10 minutes have been amazing.

It's like I've been a green grove grizzly my entire life.

It's important to embrace the school mascot.

It was a grasshopper at my last school,

so this is definitely an upgrade.

You sure you're okay?

I... I'm great. I'm just late for music class.

I'll see you around, Whitney.

Hope so.

And then principal tang started acting all condescending, like...

"don't take on more than you can chew, young lady."

- He called you "young lady"? - No.

I added that part. But it was in his tone.

I mean, government is all about biting off more than you can chew.

- Yeah. - Would F.D.R. have come up with the new deal

if he was chewing the appropriate amount?

No, he probably would have just sat in his wheelchair

and, you know, played board games and stuff.

Exactly. I have to strike while the iron's hot.

You're so awesome. You're going to be such a kickass president.

Thanks, Rico.

I hope you're right.

I'm feeling kind of overwhelmed.

Well, hey, let me take you out tonight.

Give that presidential brain a rest.

It's food truck night in town. We can eat.

And then, you know, go back to my place

and watch a movie or something.

I don't know, I have so much going on.

Oh, come on. Even presidents need to relax.

Why do you think they built camp David?

Plus, you haven't seen my loft yet.

That's true. I haven't.

So is it a date?

It's a date.

I'm late for a class. I'll see you later.

I don't get it. Now you want an "F"?

No, I just want what I deserve... whatever it is.

- It's an "F." - Okay, fine.

Fail me.

And I'm not going to take the equipment back, I swear.

Donating all that stuff for a grade,

it wasn't me.

That's not the kind of person I want to be.

You really want me to give you an "F"?

I'll take a make-up test.

I'll do extra credit work. Whatever it takes.

I'm bringing my grade back up.

And this time, I'm earning it.

Hey!

I've been looking for you.

Oh, here I am.

Someone following you?

What? No, no. No, I just...

Wow, someone's really lost their cool, huh?

Seriously, what... what is it?

Um, Danny kind of...

found me last night, and he, uh...

What happened?

Let's just say he wasn't too thrilled that

I told you what I told you.

But it's not a big deal. Don't worry about it.

Did he threaten you?

Maybe a little.

But it's just guy stuff.

I shouldn't have said anything.

No, I'm really glad that you did.

I'm sorry that he did that.

It's not your fault, Jo.

I know, but...

Danny and I, we have...

our own stuff, and I just...

I shouldn't have put you in the middle of it.

I know how you can make it up to me.

Let me take you out tonight.

Well, that's the last adoption agency I could find.

Maybe Vikram took care of it privately.
