SPOILER-FILLED WHAT HAPPENED LAST WEEK PART: Last week, Emma came home from therapy but was still crazy, Noah got more and more obsessed with finding out Piper’s accomplice, much to Audrey’s dismay, Brooke and Jack had a happy moment, then a big fight then Jake got eviscerated.
After one of the “Lakewood Six” met their untimely end last week, more weirdness seems to be finding the other survivors and Audrey keeps finding herself more and more trapped by her past and the inevitability that someone’s going to find out what she did. Kieran’s somewhat creepy cousin Eli cryptically bumped into Emma (because Emma needs more cryptic encounters in her life,) and the sheriff’s weird son Gustavo continued to give off as many weird vibes as possible to our real heroine, Brooke. Noah closed in on a big reveal as a hotel desk boy claimed he knows who Piper’s accomplice is, which, naturally made Audrey crap her pants.
Oh, and by the way, Jake’s still dead, although as the episode begins no one knows that. Brooke thinks he’s just being stubborn and his parents are out of town. But where IS Jake? Keep watching ...
Anyway, Emma’s still tormented by her past this week, freaking out when she sees a woman in the coffee house who might be Piper, and then an old crappy mysterious car starts following her around. Rather than doom herself to an entire season of self-pity, though, she makes Kieran take her to the dock where all the shit hit the fan and confront her fears. She relives the tragic finale of last season again and thinks she sees the Brandon James killer but realizes it’s only a hallucination. Happy that she’s seemingly over the trauma of last season, Emma and Kieran totally do it.
Not that Kieran’s life is without trouble as he’s been living alone since his father died, which the police aren’t too thrilled about. His aunt is talked into staying with them by the aforementioned Eli and the whole thing seems weird. The aunt seems really white trash and wants to cash in on the free room and board taking care of Kieran will provide. Eli, meanwhile, well he just seems to have something nasty up his sleeves. Or it’s all a red herring and he’s really a helluva guy. We’ll have to keep watching.
The big conflict this week is with Audrey as she freaks out when she learns the desk clerk at the hotel knows who Piper’s accomplice is. Noah’s excitement at getting closer to the story is tearing Audrey apart and seeing her take action when she needs to is a great reminder that she’s done some pretty hardcore things so far, even if we don’t know EXACTLY what, we have some kind of idea. The question is becoming: what is she willing to do to get Noah off the case?
Jake then texts Brooke back and invites her over which is odd, since he’s dead and all. All signs point to creeper Gustavo being involved with the texting but nothing’s confirmed. While it seems somewhat inevitable that Brooke would go to Jake’s and find his body, that’s not what happens. While his body IS revealed, it’s done in a far creepier and bigger way.
It’s that cliffhanger that really sets the stage for next week. Shit’s about to get real.
