got you.

Put me down.

I keep telling you, you
got to pace yourself

If you really wanna to crush
that last quarter mile.

you okay?

You sure?

- I'm sure.
- Okay.

- What's my time?
- Just under 22 minutes.

- Man.
- Come on, that's not so bad.

It's not so bad for high school.

It's not going to
get me into superior.

Maddy, it's one off day.

You're allowed to
have an off day.

- Stupid asthma.
- Come on.

Take you for a milkshake,
make it all better?

Can't. Have to get home.

Mom and kent said they
have a surprise for me.

A surprise?

Do you think you're
going to be a big sister?

I think they're a
little past that.

Anyway, whatever it is,
nothing's going to top

A phone call from vegas
telling me my mom eloped.

What are you complaining about?

I wish my mom would
marry a millionaire.

I think your dad
would frown on that.

Anyway, I'm just happy to see
my mom happy for a change.

She's had a tough couple years.

She did?

Oh, do you mean how you were
skipping school, sneaking out,

And getting picked
up by the police?

You know I'm joking.

Actually, I kind of dig

Dating a girl with
a sordid past.

- Sordid?
- So sordid.

I have a surprise for you, too.

Really? What's that?

Race to the car.

Cheater!

Don't call me later for dinner.

- 'kay.
- Hey.

Hi, sweetie. How was your run?

Not my best. Just under 22.

Mm, your asthma?

Do you want me to make another
appointment with dr. Nelson?

I think it was just an off day.

I'm gonna go clean
up before dinner.

Oh, I think your
surprise is here.

Maddy, I'd like you to
meet my daughter devon.

Maddy, it's so nice to meet you.

Oh, it's nice to meet you, too.

I'm sorry, I had no idea...

I know. Mom and dad wanted
it to be a surprise.

I told them we should warn
you, but you know how they are.

Devon's just back from london.

Yeah, I thought you were
in an arts academy there.

Yeah, I had some
time off between semesters,

So I decided to come
back home for a while

Now that I have a whole
new family to get to know.

Well, welcome back.

I should probably go
clean up before dinner.

It was nice to meet you.

Madison. I'm sorry.

I really did tell them we
shouldn't spring this on you.

Oh, it's totally fine.

It just caught me off guard.

I knew kent had a
daughter, but...

Our parents ran off and got married
without even introducing us over zoom.

Listen, I just
wanted to tell you

That I'm excited you're here.

The truth is, I've
always wanted a sister.

I'll see you at dinner?

Wait, so you have
a little sister now?

- Apparently.
- I always wanted a little sister.

Well, you can have her.

Wait, why? Is she super lame?

No, she actually
seems pretty sweet.

Wow, I can see why you'd
want to get rid of her.

- What a bitch.
- Stop.

She's just, I don't know,
maybe a little too sweet.

- Oh.
- Sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt.

No, that's just fine. Gia,
I'll see you after dinner.

Are you choosing her over me?

Bye, gia.

I just wanted to let you
know that dinner's ready.

Oh, thanks. I'll
be right there.

I love what you've done in here.

This was actually my room
before I left for school.

Oh, I'm sorry. This is
just where kent put me.

You can have it back.

Oh, no. It's yours now.

It fits you.

Thanks.

Come on. I'm starving.

Thank you, sweetheart.

So, devon, london
must be so exciting.

I bet you made some
good friends there.

Actually, I spent most
of my time in the studio.

Well, the studio
and tate modern.

Most parents
have to set a curfew.

I had to practically throw devon
out of the house to go have fun.

I had lots of fun. Of course,
I never would have gone

If I knew that my father was
going to find the love of his life

And marry her while I was away.

Well, it wasn't exactly planned.

We were staying at the same
hotel for a conference.

I couldn't find anywhere
to sit for breakfast.

I saw your dad wandering around,

And invited him to sit
with me in the lobby.

It turns out we're
both from springfield.

The next thing we
knew, the sun was going down,

And then it was coming up again.

And we were still in
the lobby talking.

- I'm really not an impulsive person.
- It's true.

She won't buy a toaster oven
without a thorough background check.

I don't know, I guess,
talking to your dad,

We just have so much in common,
and we didn't want to wait.

Why wait when you
know it's perfect?

Dad's definitely had his
share of broken hearts.

More than my share.

I'm just so glad he's
finally found someone.

I will drink to that.

- Oh, hi, gia.
- Hey, miss a!

Sorry. Mrs. Miller. Still
getting used to the new name.

Just call me laura.

- Nah.
- Gia, this is devon,

Kent's daughter.

- Oh.
- Hey.

Gia and maddy have been
best friends since fourth grade.

- Except for seventh.
- Yeah, maddy stole my boyfriend.

He wasn't your boyfriend,
and I didn't steal him.

He sat next to me
at lunch one time.

Yeah, you're just lucky his dad
got that job in north dakota

Before I could steal him back.

We're going to get coffee.

Why don't you take
devon with you?

Oh, that's okay. I
don't want to crash.

You wouldn't be crashing.
I was just gonna ask you.

Let me just grab my purse.

- I'll be back by 9.
- Have fun.

- Bye, gia.
- Bye.

- You were just going to ask?
- What was I supposed to do? My mom put me on the spot.

I don't usually drink
coffee in the evening,

But I think I can
make an exception

For my new sister
and her best friend.

- Ready?
- Ready or not.

Let's go.

So I just filled it with coffee
and they added it to the menu.

So you invented this?

Invented is a strong word.

It's just hot
chocolate and coffee.

- I can't believe you work here.
- Ever since I turned 16.

I've never had a job except
for taking care of my dad.

I'm glad he has you
and your mom now.

Yeah, ever since she was little,

Maddy's been asking for a middle-aged
businessman to take care of.

Kent's been a great stepdad.

He and mom seem
really happy together.

I'm hooked. I'm
going for another.

I thought you said she
was your stepsister,

Not your stepford sister.

- She's fine.
- She's lame.

- You never like anyone new.
- And I'm always right.

Give her a break. Okay,
she could be worse.

- She could be your sister.
- You leave shannon out of this.

- She's really turning her life around.
- 360 degrees.

I ordered us three. I figured we
could stay and talk a while longer.

Ooh!

Your job seems really fun.

I don't know.
It's... I like it.

Thank you for
inviting me tonight.

It was nice to meet gia.

I can see why you
two are friends.

Oh, now that you're back, we'll
have to take a new family photo.

I'd like that.

Is this your mom?

No, my mom died when I was five.

That's teresa. She
was my dad's fiancée.

- And what happened there?
- She killed herself.

I'm so sorry. I had no idea.

He doesn't like
to talk about it.

It was just a few days
after they got engaged.

She left a note, but it really
messed him up for a while.

He shut himself
off from the world.

It was just him and me
alone in this house.

That's why I'm so glad to see
how happy your mom has made him.

I feel the same way.

It was just my mom and
me the past few years.

I haven't seen her smile like
she has since she met your dad.

I'm happy you're here, maddy.

Both of you.

Thanks, devon.

I know this is your house,

But thanks for making
us feel welcome.

What are sisters for?

Well, good night.

Good morning, sleepyhead.

It's 7 am.

Oh, thanks, um...

I don't usually eat
much for breakfast.

That's because you've never
had my blueberry pancakes.

What's that?

Oh, blueprints for the remodel.

The architect sent
them over this morning.

Architect?

Yeah, your dad and I are
doing a little renovating.

I guess you miss a lot when
you're 4,000 miles away.

Oh, it's nothing too big.

Just taking down a few of walls,

Replacing some of
these old doors

We don't have the keys for,

Fresh coat of paint.

I'll be doing a
lot of it myself.

My mom decorated this house.

Devon, I'm sorry.
I had no idea.

Oh, I didn't mean it like that.

I'm just saying
it's been a while.

Definitely time for a refresh.

- Morning, ladies.
- I made breakfast.

It smells amazing,
but I'm running late.

I just need some, uh...

It's good to have you home.

Laura, have you seen my gray suit
jacket? It's not in my closet.

Uh, yes, I picked that up from
the dry cleaner yesterday.

- I will grab it.
- Thank you, thank you. Have a good day, girls.

- You too, daddy.
- Thanks.

Actually, I have to run, too.

I'm meeting ian before school.

- Ian?
- My boyfriend.

- I can help you clean up.
- Oh, no. Go, go.

I don't want to stand
in the way of true love.

Okay. Thanks for breakfast.

- Is it crooked?
- No, I just like having an excuse to do this.

Mmm.

So what are you up to today?

I'm gonna start
painting upstairs.

Oh, that's right, that's right.
Be careful on that ladder.

It's old, and I do not want...

Mm-hmm, and make
sure the hinge locks.

- Yes, thank you for the warning.
- Hey.

I think I picked it up
the third or fourth time.

I am your husband. It's
my job to worry about you.

- Well, I kind of like being worried about.
- Good.

But don't worry. Maddy's
helping me set up.

Good, good. Good, good, good.

I love you. I love
you. I love you.

Bye.

- All set.
- Locked and loaded. Anything else?

No. Thank you, sweetie.
Have a good day at school.

Bye, mom. Happy painting.

So I was right. You're
gonna be a big sister.

You're such a dork.

Hey, now, you need
to set a good example

For your younger siblings.

So, what's she like?

I don't know. She's nice.

she's
trying a little too hard,

But I think she's harmless.

Mom?

Mom!

Mom, what happened?
Are you okay?

I'm fine. Just a
little banged up.

Your mom's very lucky. It
could have been a lot worse.

I was painting and
the ladder collapsed.

She fell all the
way down the stairs.

What? Mom, I
double-checked it.

Devon found me
and called for help.

I don't know what would've
done if she hadn't been here.

It's best not to even
think about that.

Are you sure you won't
let us take you in?

No. You said it looks okay?

- Mom!
- It's okay, maddy, really.

Devon made an appointment for
me at the doctor this afternoon.

All right, we're gonna
pack up and let you rest.

We gave her something
for the pain,

So she might get
a little sleepy.

Thank you.
Sorry for the trouble.

Mom, can I get you anything?

I'm fine, I just want to rest.

Well, where's kent?

He was in franklin this morning.

He's on his way now. But
it's okay, I've been here.

I'm sorry, maybe we shouldn't
have bothered you at school.

Maddy, you really
should get back.

You can't just leave school
in the middle of the day.

- Mom, I can't leave you.
- Kent'll be here soon,

And you've already been in
enough trouble missing class.

It's okay, maddy. I'll stay here
with her until dad gets here.

Are you sure?

I do not want another call
from the school, maddy.

Go ahead. Back to class.

Okay, well, lunch
is in a few hours.

I'll come back and
check on you then.

- Did you see what happened?
- I just heard a loud crash

And I found her at the
bottom of the stairs.

I just... I swear I checked
the ladder was locked.

Devon, thank you for
taking care of her.

Of course. She's family now.

- Call me if anything changes.
- I promise.

Laura?

- Is she okay? What happened?
- She's resting.

We shouldn't wake her.
Come on, I'll fill you in.

Oh, jeez.

Morning, sweetie.

Mom! How are you feeling?

Like I fell off a ladder.

The doctor says it'll
be a couple weeks

Before she's back to herself.

- Mom, I'm so sorry.
- I know, sweetheart.

I'll just let the contractors
handle it from here.

Speaking of which, you haven't
seen the blueprints, have you?

Mm-mm.

- Do you want me to stay home with you today?
- No, I'll be fine.

I'm just gonna take it easy.

Good idea. Save your
energy for tonight.

- What's tonight?
- I thought dad said it was tonight.

Kathryn woods is
coming to dinner?

- That's tonight?
- That's tonight.

- Kathryn woods?
- She runs a tech startup

Kent's been trying to acquire.

I'll just let her
know what happened.

- We'll reschedule.
- No.

No, you're not cancelling.

You've been trying to
set this up for months.

- Laura...
- we're not canceling.

Maybe we can just go out.

- You're not exactly in great shape for a night out.
- I can make dinner.

It's no problem.
I'll get gia to help.

Her mom's a chef.

- You sure you don't mind?
- Not at all.

I'll stop by the grocery store
on the way home from my run.

- Maddy to the rescue.
- Thank you, sweetie. You're a lifesaver.

Here, for groceries.

Oh, and no seafood.

Her husband has a serious
shellfish allergy.

We'll stick to chicken.

- What did I ever do without you?
- Thanks, maddy.

Hey, all right. Under 21.

We just need to shave
a few more seconds off

And you'll be a
shoo-in for superior.

That's easy for you to say.

Your airways aren't trying
to choke you to death.

True, but a piece
of potato did once.

You're so weird. You're...

- Devon?
- Okay. Unexpected twist.

- Who's this?
- Maddy, hi!

- I didn't know you ran here.
- Every day.

Hi, I'm devon, maddy's sister.

You must be ian. Maddy's
told me all about you.

Oh, she has?

Well, not all about you.

That's true. She didn't tell
me how handsome you are.

Nice catch. Are
you a runner, too?

Well, kind of. Actually,
I only joined track

So I would have an
excuse to talk to maddy,

But I kinda fell in
love with it and her.

Seriously, ian, this much
cheese is bad for your heart.

I think it's sweet.

We should get going.

Oh, hey, why don't you join us?

I'd love that, if you don't
mind me crashing the party.

- Lead the way.
- Come on.

She seems great.

Okay, looking good.

- Almost ready?
- Almost.

I just finished
stuffing the chicken.

- Crab isn't a shellfish, right?
- Keep making jokes like that,

You're gonna see a real crab.

Kent said this guy is
seriously allergic.

Okay, sorry. I'll clam up.

Do you need any help?

I think we're good, but thanks.

Wow, you like your pepper.

I guess I'm used to
european food now.

The palate is a
little more refined.

Yeah, here in america, I
have to resist the urge

To wrap everything in
pizza and deep fry it.

- What?
- Be nice.

That was me being
nice. I was being nice.

How's it looking, ladies?

- I think we're done.
- Whoa.

- This looks amazing.
- I've picked up a few tricks from my mom.

- And youtube.
- Hey, a true chef never reveals her secrets.

Yeah, well, thank you so
much for your help, gia.

- Really, thank you.
- Happy to.

I'm just glad that you're okay.

And, uh, I think
that's everything.

Thanks, g. You can get out
of here before they show up.

Do I have to? I wanted to stay
and hear more about kent's work.

You know, leveraging the scalabilities
of his mergers and acquisitions?

- Okay.
- I'll fill you in.

But you always leave
out the juicy details.

Call me after.

Enjoy your crab-stuffed chicken.

Oh, she's joking.

Okay.

Thank you for all
of your help, maddy.

This dinner is a
huge deal for kent.

I've been trying to get some face
time with kathryn for months.

We just want to make
sure it goes perfectly.

Actually, kent and I
have something for you.

What?

Mom.

That was your father's
favorite photo

Of the two of you.

I've been wanting to give
it to you for a while,

I just haven't found
the right moment.

With everything
you've had to overcome

The last couple of
years, I'm just...

We are just so proud of you.

And I know your
dad would be, too.

Thank you.

Of course. You deserve it.

- Hi, honey.
- Wow, that's beautiful.

- All set?
- Should be ready in about an hour.

Showtime.

What's her husband's name again?

Right this way.

- What a beautiful home.
- Thank you.

Laura is in the process
of redecorating.

This is laura's daughter maddy.

It's nice to meet you.

Ah, the cross country runner.

You know, I ran
track in college.

Well, maddy is applying
to superior for the fall.

I know the provost. I'd be happy
to put in a good word for you.

And this is my daughter devon.

She's just back from
a semester in london.

Devon, sweetie, would you mind
grabbing the wine from the kitchen?

Everyone okay with merlot?

- Sounds perfect.
- I'll be right back.

So, laura, tell us your
plans for the house.

Oh, really
nothing major,

But there's some
old drab wallpaper

That really needs to come down.

And I'm gonna do a
little repainting and...

Kathryn, I'd love to
know more about what you do.

Sorry. Took me forever
to find the corkscrew.

This looks fantastic.

I can't take the credit.
Maddy prepared dinner.

Kathryn, how is the latest
update coming along on the app?

A little behind schedule.

We lost two of our senior
programmers to a headhunter.

Well, it's a competitive market
out there right now for startups.

It's a good time to think about
partnerships with larger organizations.

- Like yours?
- Well, now that you mention it.

sorry.

- We do have a stable development infrastructure.
- Mm-hmm.

We might be able to
get you back on track.

Hmm. Truth is, I've been
thinking a lot about it,

And it might be time for a strategic partnership.

- Are you okay? Are you...
- adam?

He's choking!

Adam!

- He's allergic to shellfish.
- I didn't... there isn't any...

- Call 911.
- Open your mouth. Keep coughing.

- Adam, look at me.
- Uh, honey, tilt your head back.

- Tilt your head.
- Buddy, buddy, buddy.

Yes, please, I need an ambulance
at 1210 chestnut street.

What happened? Is he...

He's okay. They're
letting them go home.

Thank god. Is he,
um... are they...

- Are they angry?
- What do you think?

Mom, I don't know what happened.

We just made chicken
like we said.

With crab stuffing?

What? Mom, no, gia
was just joking.

This isn't a joke, maddy.
He could have died.

I'm sure it was an accident.

I saw cocktail
shrimp in the trash.

Maybe they were eating
it while they cooked.

We didn't eat anything.

I don't care what
happened, madison.

Kent won't tell you
this, but you should know

That this has created
huge problems for him.

I mean, we were
supposed to impress her,

Not send her husband
to the hospital.

I can't believe that you
could be this reckless.

I guess...

Maybe I just expected too much.

Come on, let's go.

I'm sure
she didn't mean to.

He seriously almost died?

He stopped breathing
for almost a minute

Before the ambulance got here.

Wow. Way to ruin
a dinner party.

That was pretty
shellfish of him.

- It's not funny.
- Sorry, mads.

I'm just trying to
lighten the mood.

Were you trying to lighten
the mood last night?

Meaning?

I don't get it.

I found that in the trash.

And what? You think I was
secretly trying to poison

My best friend's stepdad's
business partner's husband?

- You were joking about it.
- Yeah, joking, maddy.

You know I'd never do
anything like that.

Honestly, if you're
looking for a suspect...

I'm glad to see you, gia.

I was worried you might be
too embarrassed to come back

After last night, but
you're always welcome here.

Embarrassed? I
didn't do anything.

Oh, I know, I'm sure
it was an accident.

That's what I've been telling
dad and mom all morning.

Just give them a couple
days. They'll understand.

Maddy, I'm here if you need me.

Are you sure devon's name
ends with an "n" not an "l"?

Don't blame her for this.

My mom is pissed and
kent's in trouble at work.

- It's not her fault.
- All right, I get it.

- Hey.
- Hi.

We're late for our run.
I'll see you later.

Word of advice, steer
clear of seafood puns.

And don't forget your
backpack. Come on.

Is everything okay?

Jeez!

Did you find what
you were looking for?

- Um, yeah.
- Good.

- You're funny, gia.
- Um, thanks?

My dad's fiancée was funny.

Teresa.

Always joking.

She especially loved
to give me a hard time.

Until she died.

Have a good day, gia.

She didn't even give
me a chance to explain.

She thinks we did it on purpose,

And now kent's in
trouble at work and...

Wow. You don't really think
gia did it though, do you?

No. Well, I don't know, I
mean, maybe not on purpose.

It's just I'm trying to get my
mom trust me after last year,

And now it's like it
was all for nothing.

She thinks I'm
totally irresponsible.

Hey, I like my girls a
little irresponsible.

Hey. How are you doing?

I'm okay, I just think I
needed some time alone.

I know how you feel, maddy.

Sometimes our worst enemies

Come disguised as
the best friends.

Just one second.

Sorry, devon, I
have to take this.

Oh, I don't mind.

Um, so I'll see you later?

Oh.

Come find me after?

What's up?

Good to know we're
still talking.

Yeah, well, it's just so
I can avoid devon, okay?

She's been driving me nuts.

Maddy, I need to see you.

- So come over.
- Not at your house.

Well, after yesterday,
I don't think my mom

Is gonna let me leave
tonight or ever again.

Maddy, please?

There's something
I need to show you.

Show me at school on Monday.

- No, tonight.
- Gia.

Maddy, please. It's important.

Trust me?

Okay, I'll meet you
after my mom goes to bed.

Okay, meet me at the library.

- I'll be waiting.
- Okay.

I'll meet you at
the library at 10.

Bye, gia.

Cool. Okay.

Huh?

Hello?

I'm still studying back here.

Hello?

Hello?

Hello?

Help!

Hey!

Up here!

Please!

Hey!

Come on!

Devon?

Good night, sweetheart.

- Madison.
- Devon, hi.

I was just...

Sneaking out?

Go ahead. I'll cover for you.

Really?

I've always wanted a
sister to cover for.

Thanks, devon. I'm just
meeting up with gia.

Don't mention it.

Tell gia I said hello.

Gia?

gia?

Gia, if this is another joke,

It's going over about
as well as the last one.

Maddy?

It's time to go.

Yeah, that's fine. You good?

- Maddy, I'm so sorry. Are you okay?
- How is she?

Her mom says they
don't know if she...

She said she'd call
if anything changes.

- Madison, I spoke with the police this morning.
- The police?

They had some
questions about gia.

- What kind of questions?
- I don't know.

They're sending a detective
over this morning.

- When?
- They're on their way now.

I need a minute.

She hasn't slept.

Can we ask them to
come this afternoon?

I'll get it.

I'm detective waldron. I'm
here to speak with madison.

Yes, detective. We've been
expecting you. Please come in.

Let me show you to
the living room.

- Can I get you anything?
- No, that's all right.

Thank you so much for
coming, detective.

It's so awful, but why
are the police involved?

We just had a couple
questions about the accident.

- Do you know gia benton?
- We only met a few times.

To be honest, I
barely know maddy.

We only met a brief time
ago. Her mom married my dad.

- Sounds like a big adjustment.
- It has been.

- Especially...
- What?

No, I... they just seem to have

A lot of conflict between them,

Ever since maddy
almost killed her mom.

Oh, detective, no, I'm sorry.
I didn't mean it like that.

Maddy was helping
her mom redecorate

And laura fell off the
ladder and down the stairs.

- When did this happen?
- It was just a few days ago.

But please, really
it was nothing.

- Not compared to...
- Compared to what?

Nothing, detective. I'll
leave you to your work.

Miss miller, please, any detail
you can provide might be helpful,

No matter how unimportant
it seems to you.

It's silly, really.

Our parents had guests over

The day after her
mom's accident.

Maddy and gia prepared dinner,

And... is this really necessary?

Please, go on.

One of the guests had
an allergic reaction

And had to go to the hospital.

It was an honest mistake.

It's just they had
been joking around

About triggering his allergy.

- Who?
- Maddy and gia.

It was just a joke, detective.

I know, because they were
fighting about it afterwards.

So, maddy was angry at gia.

I saw maddy leaving that
night to go meet gia.

I didn't say anything
to our parents.

Of course, I wish I had,

But when she left,
she seemed different.

Different how?

Agitated, I guess?

She almost didn't
go, and then...

- I'll let you all talk.
- Thank you, miss miller. You've been very helpful.

Good morning, detective.
Would you like some coffee?

- No, thank you. Let's get started.
- Have a seat.

I'd like to start with a
couple background questions

About the past couple weeks.

Thank you for coming, detective.

Thank you for your time. If you think
of anything else, you have my number.

- Thank you, detective.
- Madison, I'm going to ask you

Not to leave town for
the next couple of days

Until we've made some
progress on our investigation.

We'll be in touch.

He's just doing his job, maddy.

Is he gone? How did it go?

Devon, what did you say to him?

To the detective?

I just told him what a terrible
time you've been having.

You made me sound
like a psychopath!

- Maddy, no, I promise.
- Madison, calm down.

- Calm down?
- Maddy, hey.

Hey, kent and I are
on your side here,

But we need to know exactly
what happened last night.

- I told you what happened.
- Maddy, is it happening again?

What are you talking about?

Everything that happened
after your dad died, maddy.

The lying, the
disappearing, the police?

How can you ask me that? My
best friend is in the hospital.

- You think I had something to do with it?
- I don't know! Okay?

I don't know why you're sneaking out of
the house in the middle of the night.

I don't know if you're in
trouble or if you need my help.

I don't want to talk about this.

You have to talk about this.

Okay? You are involved in
a police investigation.

You don't get to keep
your feelings to yourself.

I want to know what's going on!

- Maddy, where are you going?
- For a walk!

Or maybe to go finish the job!

- Maddy.
- Daddy, I didn't mean to...

It's okay, devon. You
didn't do anything wrong.

- Laura, can we, uh...
- Yeah.

Laura.

- We need to get a lawyer.
- Kent, he's just doing his job.

He's asking a lot
of questions, laura.

- Not about gia. About maddy.
- Kent.

Why is he asking maddy
about her police record?

She was a juvenile. That's
supposed to be sealed

- Unless she gets in trouble again.
- Wake up, laura.

Your daughter is
in trouble, okay?

You didn't tell
me about all this.

I told you maddy had a hard
time after her dad passed.

A hard time? You didn't say
the police were involved.

- For truancy, kent!
- Okay.

Not for attempted murder.

What do you want me to
do? She's my daughter!

Yeah? You're not the only one with a
daughter in this house, laura, okay?

- My daughter lives here, too!
- So are you saying maddy's a threat?

I didn't say that.

Don't put words in my mouth!

Then what
are you saying?

I'm saying that your
daughter is in trouble

And my daughter lives
in this house now, too!

My daughter is here now!

You think I
don't know that, kent?

What do you think is
going through my head?

They questioned me for an hour.

Devon says she was
trying to help,

But she just made
everything worse.

Maybe you were right about her.

Which means you have to wake up.

Just so you can
say I told you so.

Please be okay, gia.

Please wake up and just be okay.

Who's maureen?

Hello? Hello?

Hi, yes. Sorry to bother you.

- My name is madison andrews, and...
- oh, hi, madison.

- I was wondering when I'd hear from you.
- Excuse me?

- Gia said you'd be calling.
- You spoke with gia?

She didn't tell you to
get in touch with me?

No, she...

Gia's in the hospital.

She was in an
accident last night.

She's not talking right now.

Madison, I think it's very
important that we speak.

- Can you meet me?
- Please, just tell me what's going on.

Your stepsister devon,

I believe she may be dangerous.

Devon? What do you mean?

I'll tell you
everything when we meet.

Okay.

I'll meet you for coffee
tomorrow after school.

I'll text you the address.

I'll see you then.

And, maddy? Be careful.

- Devon.
- Who were you talking to?

Just ian. Do you
need something?

I wanted to apologize
for earlier.

- I really didn't mean to...
- it's okay. I was just upset.

Of course.

I know how much
you care about gia.

Is there anything I can do?

Actually, I think I'm just gonna
take a shower and go to bed.

Good idea.

Everything always seems
a little bit better

After a good night's sleep.

- Good night, devon.
- Good night.

Devon, what are you doing?

Sorry. Knocked your
backpack on the floor.

How are you feeling?

Maybe we can hang out later
when you get home from school?

I'm going straight
to work after my run.

- After you meet with ian.
- Hmm?

Yesterday on the phone?

You said you were going
to meet ian before work.

Oh, yeah. After that.

- All right, I'll see you later.
- Have a good day.

So, you're going to see her?

I have to hear what
she has to say.

Maddy, doesn't this
seem a little crazy?

I mean, devon seemed
pretty normal to me.

Don't you think you should
tell your mom or the police?

Tell them what? I
found some random woman

Who says she spoke to
gia about something?

I have to hear what
maureen has to say.

Then I can decide what to do.

Maddy, I don't like
you meeting her alone.

- Then come with me.
- I'm heading straight there after my run.

Come on. I don't
want to be late.

Asthma?

Maddy?

My inhaler.

The cartridge... it's missing.

- Where is it?
- It's not here.

Whoa, maddy, I got you.

Just breathe,
maddy, I've got you.

Hi. I'm at lincoln park.
I need an ambulance.

Maddy, please, just
breathe. I've got you, okay?

No, she can't breathe. She
has asthma. Please, hurry!

Maddy?

Maddy!

What?

Are you sure you're okay?

I'm fine, ian. The
doctor says I'll be fine.

I've never been so
scared in my life,

Just seeing you not breathing.

It wasn't exactly a
picnic for me either.

I'm getting really
sick of this hospital.

- Maddy.
- Hey, mom.

I just talked to the doctor.
Maddy, what happened?

My inhaler cartridge
went missing.

What? You're
always so careful.

I know. Mom, I think...

I thought I'd brighten
things up a little.

It must've just
fallen out somewhere.

Thank goodness you're
all right, maddy.

You frightened us all to death.

It was pretty scary
there for a second,

But maddy pulled
through like a champ.

Well, they want to keep you
overnight for observations.

Mom, I'm fine.

I don't think that was
a suggestion, maddy.

Why don't I go home and
pack you an overnight bag?

Kent's on his way home,
and we'll bring you dinner.

I can stay with
you, if you want.

- That's okay. I have ian.
- Oh, I...

Okay, I am going to
go visit gia's mom,

See how she's doing,

And I'll be back in
a couple hours, okay?

I'll be here. Please
give her a hug for me.

I'm really glad you're okay,
maddy. I'll see you soon?

- Get some rest.
- You know I can't stay, right?

My parents are out of town.
I need to pick up my sisters.

It's fine. I just
didn't want devon here.

My mom will be back soon anyway.

I'll call you.

Maddy?

I'm maureen delisle.

I'm so sorry about
your friend gia.

- How did you know her?
- I don't, actually.

She contacted me out of
the blue a couple days ago.

She had some questions
about teresa.

Kent's last fiancée.

Teresa was my best friend.

I met her at a time
in my life when...

Let's just say I
needed a friend.

When she met kent, it
was like a fairy tale.

I'd never seen her so happy.

- Until...
- She met devon.

Teresa said devon was the
nicest kid she'd ever met.

But then things
started to go wrong.

At work. At home.

And every time
something blew up,

Devon was standing there in the
background looking innocent.

Teresa thought it was just normal
adolescent acting out at first,

But when she found out devon
had broken into her house,

She went to kent.

What did he do?

He couldn't believe his daughter
had anything to do with it.

Teresa felt it would
blow over eventually.

I mean, what kid likes
their new stepmom?

So, why did she kill herself?

- She didn't.
- But...

I know the police investigation
determined it was a suicide,

But I knew teresa.

I talked to her that night.

She was so happy

About her dress, the honeymoon.

She wasn't suicidal.

Someone else wanted her dead.

She's dangerous, madison.

No matter how sweet devon
may look on the outside,

On the inside, she's poison.

We need to go to the police.

The police won't
reopen teresa's case.

They'd have to admit
they'd made a mistake.

They won't do that unless they
have proof devon was involved.

- Then my mom...
- does she trust you?

This is what devon does.

She's isolating you so no one
will believe a word you say.

Then what do I do?

Whatever it takes to get you and
your mother out of that house.

And in the meantime,
madison, be careful.

If devon is who I think she is,

You are in danger as long
as you're in that house.

There it is.

Hi, maureen.

I know I had
it at the hospital.

It's just
a locket, maddy.

The important thing
is you're okay.

- Home, sweet home.
- Mom, let's go somewhere.

Well, let's just bring your stuff
in and then I'll take you to lunch.

No, not lunch. Let's get out
of town. Just you and me.

- Sweetheart.
- Please?

Maddy, you can't leave town when there's
a police investigation is ongoing.

- You know that.
- Then we'll just get a hotel.

Or we could stay at ashley's.
She'd love to see us.

Maddy, we have a place
to stay right here.

Mom, please. I don't
feel safe here.

Maddy, what are
you talking about?

Is this because of gia?

Maddy, no one's gonna
to break in here.

No, mom, it's not that.

- It's...
- you're back.

- Hi, devon.
- Maddy, welcome home.

Come on inside. I made lunch.

Just one second. Maddy,
what were you saying?

Uh, nothing.

It's nothing.

It's good
to have you home.

Bon appétit.

- Thank you, devon. This looks delicious.
- Of course.

I'm just so happy to have
everyone together again.

So you're feeling better, maddy?

Yes, thank you.

We're glad you're safe.

We've been worried about you.

Well, now that we have
everyone together,

Laura and I wanted
to talk to you girls.

Now, we've had a lot happen
over the past couple of weeks,

But it's important to
us that we come together

And deal with all
of this as a family.

We just want a fresh
start for the four of us.

- Clean slate.
- I think that sounds wonderful.

No need to hold
on to past hurts.

Right, maddy?

I'm sorry, I'm suddenly
not feeling so well.

- Oh.
- Madison.

Kent.

It's okay.

Go ahead, maddy.

Maddy, is anything wrong?

Are you serious?

I don't know what you
think is going on,

But I just want us to get along.

We'll get along when you go
back to where you came from,

And I don't mean london.

I know you're upset, madison,

But I'd watch what
you say to me.

Or what?

What?

Maureen, I found something.
Call me back right away.

Waldron.

Anything on the cameras?

Someone disabled the cameras
in this part of the garage.

All we have are people
coming in and out.

- How many?
- Big hospital, big garage.

A couple hundred at least.

If someone disabled the cameras,

They took the time to plan this.

It wasn't random.

The question is, who did
maureen delisle tick off?

Detective.

Is everything okay?

What do you mean?

You've been checking your
phone every ten seconds.

I guess... I guess I'm
just worried about gia.

Where are you going?

To the kitchen for
something to drink.

Actually, I think
I'm thirsty, too.

You have been following me
around from room to room all day.

It's like you think
I'm gonna disappear.

It's been a tough couple weeks.

I really just need
my mom right now.

- Should I cancel my trip tomorrow?
- Trip?

Well, kent has to go
to franklin overnight.

I was planning on
going with him.

But with everything going on...

No, mom, you should
definitely go.

You and kent could
use some time away.

But do you need me here?

No, I'll be okay.

I'm working all day tomorrow.
I won't even be home.

You're sure?

I'd feel better if you went.

Okay. Come on.

We'll get fancy and make
ice waters with lemon.

- Good morning.
- Sleep well?

- Couldn't sleep at all.
- Guilty conscience?

- All set for your trip?
- Yeah, kent's just finishing in the shower.

Oh, maddy, you've
gotta get going.

You're gonna be late for work.

Okay. Be careful.

It's just franklin, maddy.

It's only a couple hour drive.

We'll be back tomorrow.

We'll be home in time for lunch.

I'll call you after work.

Okay. Have a good
day, sweetie.

Hi, you've
reached maureen delisle

With delisle consulting.

Leave me a message and
I'll call you back.

Thank you.

Thank you for going
with my dad today.

Oh, well, of course.

You know he's had a rough
couple of days at work.

I figured he could
use the support.

Oh, I know, I just mean with
everything going on with maddy.

I'm sure it's difficult

Being pulled in two
different directions.

Well, maddy said to go.

She really is such a sweetheart,
putting my dad first.

I know how much she
was hoping you'd stay.

- She was?
- Maybe I shouldn't say anything.

Um, she just mentioned what a
hard time she's been having,

But she didn't want to get in
the way of your trip with my dad.

I just hope she'll be all right.

It's a lot, almost
losing your best friend,

Ending up in the hospital,
a police investigation.

Morning, dev.

- Laura, you're all set?
- Um, can we talk?

Sure.

Maddy, don't you think we
should call the police now?

Not until maureen calls back.
The police already suspect me.

Maureen's been
talking with them.

I need to wait until she calls...

Finally.

Maureen, I've been
trying to reach you, I...

What?

No. No, when did she...

Um, no. I'm sorry. Thank you.

Maddy, what's going on?

It's maureen.

They found her in
her car last night

In the parking garage
at the hospital.

- She's dead.
- Maddy, that's it.

Either you tell the
police or I'm going to.

okay.

- Mom?
- Honey, detective waldron was just here.

- In franklin?
- No, honey, I'm not in franklin.

I decided to stay
home for the day.

- Mom, you're home alone?
- No, devon's here.

Mom, listen to me.

You need to get
out of there now.

Maddy, what the
hell is going on?

I'll explain everything.
Just promise me you'll leave.

- Maddy.
- Mom, please!

Okay, fine.

I am on my way to you right now,

But do not say anything
to the detective

Until I get there.

Maddy, what's is going on?

My locket.

It was in my room
when she visited.

I'm being framed.

Maddy...

- Mom, listen...
- I'm sorry, maddy.

Your mom can't come to
the phone right now.

Devon.

She's looking for her keys.

Can't seem to find them.

Devon, leave her
alone or I swear...

It's too late for
all of that, maddy.

I just wanted to let
you know that I'm sorry.

I wish you would've just
left when you had the chance.

It didn't have to come to this.

I'll tell the police everything.

I already did.

They're on their way there now.

Goodbye, maddy. I'm sorry.

Devon? Devon!

- Maddy?
- Ian, it's my mom.

- She's going to hurt my mom.
- The police...

They won't believe me.
I need to get home now!

Please.

Come with me.

Come on.

Hurry.

Madison andrews?

Suspect has fled in blue sedan
heading south on washington.

In pursuit. Backup requested.

- Is everything okay?
- No, I need to get to maddy right away

And I can't find my keys!

I think I saw them upstairs.

Why would my keys be up here?

- What's this?
- Oh, so you can finish painting.

Uh, no, we said we were gonna
have the contractors finish it.

I thought that, too. I wasn't
expecting you to tell me

That you wanted to finish as a
surprise for daddy while he was away.

Devon, what are you doing?

Of course, I tried to
talk you out of it,

But you know how you can be.

So stubborn.

I made you promise me not
to use the ladder again,

But when I heard
that terrible crash,

I knew.

You wanna play?

I'll bring my toys.

turn here.

Turn off the engine!

Open the car door!

Step out of the car now!

Where is she?

You think you're the
first person to see my dad

And think you've
hit the jackpot?

Handsome bachelor, millionaire,

Massive old house just
begging for a woman's touch?

I've seen a hundred women
like you come and go.

Some lasted a little
longer than others.

One even got a
ring on her finger

Before I could get rid of her.

But... but you, laura,

You waited until
the time was right.

I was gone!

You swept him away
and married him

Before I even knew you existed.

Laura?

I guess we do have the keys
for these old doors after all.

I know you're here, laura.

It's nothing personal.

It doesn't have
to end like this.

We can make it
quick and painless.

Or not.

Devon, please!

You ruined my plan.

You ruined everything!

I'm sorry.

It wasn't supposed
to end this way.

It doesn't!

what's wrong, maddy?

Can't catch your breath?

Unh-uh.

This couldn't have worked
out better, really.

Your mom fell down
the stairs again.

You came home and found her,
triggering an asthma attack.

I found you both right
here when I came home.

Dad will be
heartbroken, of course,

But we'll get through it

The same way we've gotten
through everything else.

Just the two of us.

But first, I have some
cleaning up to do.

I'm so sorry, daddy.

I never should have
left her alone.

I started carrying an extra
since mine went missing.

Why won't you just die?

You first.

Mom.

Mrs. Miller, what happened?

- It's devon.
- Where?

- Just inside.
- Be careful.

She's dangerous.

- Are you okay?
- I am now.

We're safe. We're okay now.

Anything?

Call the station. Have
them send everybody.

Yes, sir.

You're sure you have everything?

Mom, if I try to fit
anything else in my dorm,

I won't have room
for a roommate.

I just met your roommate

And maybe that
wouldn't be so bad.

Promise you'll miss me?

Promise.

But I can't miss
you until you go.

Come here.

- I love you.
- Thanks.

Tell kent, um...

Tell kent I said goodbye.

I will.

He really wanted
to be here, maddy.

It's just been
really hard for him.

Yeah, I know.

- Call you tonight?
- You better.

Okay.

- Welcome to college!
- So far it involves spending a lot more time

With your mom than
I anticipated.

Well, she's gone now,

And I have a surprise for you.

- What's that?
- Race you to lunch!

What? Cheater!

don't you dare!
