Previously: Ethan was stuck with his feelings for Sutton. Eduardo was stuck hooked up to a ventilator in a hospital. Sutton was stuck in state care -- first the loony bin, than Las Vegas juvie. Laurel was stuck with having to lose her virginity in a squat. And Emma was stuck fending off the advances of her pervy foster brother, who has tracked her down from Vegas. I'm going to go out on a limb and say Eduardo's the only one with any real problems.

It's morning as we join Sutton at juvie registration. She says princess-like that she needs to make a call, but the officer unsympathetically tells her she'll have to wait until her case worker shows up. Across state lines at Arroyo, Emma's got her own call to deal with as she tells Travis not to come to the high school but to meet her later at a location they've agreed upon. As she hangs up, Ethan approaches to ask if everything's okay. Emma is brusque in her responses, and he wonders why. She tells him obliquely, "Let's just say you can't run from your past." He immediately goes on the defensive, assuming she's talking about his past. She says she's not but won't divulge any more. He tries to offer his help, but the bell rings, and she takes the excuse to blow him off.

Later that afternoon, Mads calls the hospital and learns that Eduardo's been moved to a private location at the request of his mother. Char and Thayer immediately offer their support, but "Sutton" says she's super-busy and needs to leave. Thayer calls Emma out for being a terrible friend, and Emma isn't able to explain herself, so things remain tense.

Emma drives to the rendezvous point with Travis. "I don't give a crap about your little Nancy Drew mystery," he tells her, "I just want a piece of the action." He thinks she should leave the Mercers' door unlocked so he can enter unnoticed and steal from them. Seeing that she has no options, Emma convinces him to let her pull an inside job. Credits.

Mercer house. Laurel is wriggling her way out of the fact that her parents totally found her boinking her boyfriend. In a sleeping bag. In a squat. Laurel tells Ted and Kristin that nothing happened, that Justin was a complete gentleman who made her wait, and that they'll be doing nothing less than crushing Justin's dreams if they report him, and "Sutton" backs her up with some nonsense about some after-school special she saw on street urchins or something. Ted offers to sort something out for Justin so he can stay in Arroyo, and once again Laurel gets off with not even a slap on the wrist. Tell me again why she was so bitter in the first couple of episodes? Sutton may have been the golden child, but Laurel seems to doing all right herself.
