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?

- I'm not interested. - Oh, is that right?

You said it was fine, so I slept with him.

It was a mistake, Sutton.

Ted, about the therapy session on Monday,

I'll be there.

I'm so happy for you.

What's going on here?

I was just thanking her

- for tutoring me. You know what?

It doesn't matter.

Care to make things interesting?

You want to switch back?

Whoever loses has to stay in the cabin.

That phone I found exonerated him.

I can't beat him. The only mistake I made was taking

your bastard ass in.

Hey, hey!

There is nothing left for me here anymore.

What about me?

Tough break, but a deal's a deal.

I left some clean towels for you at the cabin.

I've gotten the feeling that he might

blame me for his arrest.

Hey, baby, I'm home.

Good morning, sunshine.

Uh, what are you doing?

Just watching you sleep.

I missed that.

Well, isn't that romantic?

I've been in prison for a while.

I can't believe I'm actually here with you.

Well...

was it worth the wait?

You tell me.

So, your first day as a free man.

What are your plans?

I was thinking maybe we could take that

honeymoon we've been putting off.

Oh, well, that sounds great, but...

where are we gonna go on such short notice?

As it turns out, I got a little spot I know about.

- A little bed and breakfast? - Hmm.

A five-star resort and spa?

Ah, now, it wouldn't be a surprise

if I told you, would it?

Oh, well, come on, just a little hint.

Please tell me.

Let's just say that this weekend

my bride finally gets everything she deserves.

Finally.

THAYER (over machine): This is Thayer.

You know what to do.

Hey, it's me again.

answer, so I'm trying you here. I tried your cell and you didn't

that you're okay. I just want to know

I hate the way we left things.

Please call me.

Thayer?

Nope, it's me.

I wanted to see how your night at the cabin was.

You're checking on me?

Well, of course, you're my sister.

Plus, I know how lonely it can get there.

Yeah, I can't argue with that.

But it's just for a few days, right?

We're switching back after tennis regionals.

That was the deal.

Anyway, I'm calling

because I wanted to make sure you're not mad at me

for what I told you

the other day about, you know.

About you sleeping with Ethan?

I told you, it's fine.

Really?

Yes, sleep with whomever you want.

Just promise me you won't do anything

to rock the boat with Ted and Kristin.

If you haven't noticed,

they're getting along better now.

I get it, Emma.

You have my word.

And, in fact, I think you'll find that I am going

to be a sweeter, nicer version of myself than you.

Do you have a sec?

You have nothing to worry about. I have to go.

What's up?

I wanted to talk to you about what happened last night.

What happened last night?

When I saw Jordan kissing Mads outside?

Oh, right, yeah, that...

that was rough.

I thought things were going so well

between me and Jordan,

and then Mads just totally goes behind my back...

Okay, look, Laurel.

What you need to remember

is that Jordan Lyle is a worldly,

older,

dangerously sexy guy

who, let's face it,

is way out of your league.

If I remember correctly, uh, the other day,

you said he'd be lucky to have me.

And clearly you blew it,

so I think you should move on.

I mean, go for some lower hanging fruit like a sophomore.

Or one of those guys in the clubs

in the back of the yearbook.

I... I don't get it.

I know, I know.

Love... it's very confusing.

I'm hungry for breakfast, though.

I'm thinking tofu scramble?

Hi, Dad.

What are you doing here?

Hi, kiddo.

Your father has some news.

What is it?

Well, remember all that pro bono work I was doing

at the burn clinic last summer?

Turns out

I was just named

Phoenix Surgical Humanitarian of the Year.

That's awesome.

Is there, like, some kind of ceremony or something?

Yeah, the banquet's tomorrow.

Originally I was gonna go myself,

but then, since they're giving me

this award, I was kind of hoping...

Well, of course, we'll be there.

There's one more thing.

They usually ask the recipient's significant other

to say a few words before the presentation.

So I guess the committee doesn't know about our situation?

Actually, I was going to mention it,

but then I thought things were going

pretty well between us, so...

I know it's a lot to spring on you.

Maybe we can discuss it during family therapy tomorrow.

Maybe.

Great. I'll see you then.

Bye.

Bye, Dad.

Bye, hon.

Bye.

Well, that was awkward.

We are going, right, Mom?

Of course, of course.

But, I mean, for me to be giving a speech is...

Mom, please, it would mean so much to him.

And you guys have been doing better.

Well, yes, in the sense

that we can be in the same room without fighting.

But for me to stand up in front of an audience

and pretend that we're a happy couple...

No, why don't Laurel and I do it?

Really?

Mm-hmm.

I mean, sure, yeah, we can do it.

Sweetie, it's short notice.

Do you have time to prepare a speech?

For a bunch of nerdy doctors? Yeah.

Plus, I already know what I'm going to say.

Mads, I wasn't expecting you.

Uh, because I'm not here to see you.

Hey, is this about last night?

'Cause until Laurel had her little meltdown,

you and I were getting

pretty hot and...

I'm not here to discuss that.

Okay, why are you here?

Maddie?

Hi, honey.

Hi.

Oh, I'm so glad to see you.

Me, too.

You good? Yes.

Mr. Rybak,

we didn't get a chance to meet last night.

- I'm Jordan Lyle. - Jordan.

- Rebecca's stepson. - Yes, sir.

- You can call me Alec. - All right.

- I see you two have already met? - Barely.

We've bumped into each other a couple times, yeah.

Hmm, well, glad you're acquainted.

Maddie, since I've moved in here with Rebecca,

I was kind of hoping you might think about doing the same.

Really?

That's an interesting idea, sir.

We'll see.

It's good to see that everybody's

getting to know each other.

Honey, did you tell them about our honeymoon plans?

Honeymoon?
