8. Never Have I Ever

Complete story — includes the ending

Sutton is being held under multiple charges at the Las Vegas Juvenile Detention Center, mostly due to Emma. Madeline finds out that Eduardo has moved to an anonymous hospital. After being exposed by her parents, Laurel convinces them to find Justin a place to stay so that he can stay in Phoenix. Travis wants Emma to help him steal from the Mercers and Emma stalls him with Char's costume jewelry. Ethan tries to make amends with Emma, but she continues to push him away due to Travis being in town. Annie calls Alec from the mental clinic and asks him about Emma, the daughter that she thought she had unintentionally killed. He tells her to drop the situation and that she's living in a better place. At Justin's new living space at the country club, Ted notices a crate of his things and almost looks at it, only to be detoured onto another topic by Justin. Travis continues to make sexual advances towards Emma and one night, Ethan catches Travis kissing Emma. Not knowing who Travis was, Ethan starts to ignore Emma out of jealousy. Meanwhile, Laurel and Emma host a small house party while the Mercers are away at the plastic surgeons convention. Thayer invites Ethan to the party, telling Emma that they need to make up since he thinks they are perfect for one another. Emma reveals her current emotions to Ethan, although he doesn't show that he feels the same way anymore. Laurel, Justin, Char, Derek, Mads, Thayer, Ethan, and Emma all start to play "Never Have I Ever." At the convention, Ted meets up with an old high school friend who thinks that Kristin's name is Annie. This raises some red flags for Kristin about her husband. After the game, Char, Derek, Mads, and Thayer all head home, while Laurel leaves with Justin to his place. A slightly drunk Emma makes moves on Ethan, who turns her down. In the middle of the night, Sutton tries to call home from jail, although Emma is too slow to answer and she doesn't want to leave a message. Emma finds Travis lurking outside of the Mercer home and tells her that he found out about the fake jewelry. He almost sexually assaults her, but Ethan manages to knock him out. After telling Ethan about everything that had been going on lately, and it is implied that they have reconciled. Back at home, Kristin becomes obsessed with finding out more about Annie after her name was dropped at the convention and this leads to Ted becoming paranoid about keeping his secrets hidden. Ethan threatens Travis into leaving town. Sutton writes an angry letter back home, telling her parents about Emma taking her place. Emma, Ethan, and Thayer find out that Sutton had been held at the detention center in Las Vegas, but had just been bailed out by an anonymous donor. Justin is shown holding a picture of the Mercer family in his room that he tore out from their family photo album. Annie has run away from the mental clinic. On her release day, Sutton is picked up by Lexi, Emma's best friend, who had mistaken her for Emma. Alec sees all of this from his car across the street and he was most likely the anonymous person who bailed Sutton (presumably Emma) out of the juvenile detention center.
