It'’s the night of the twins'’ 17th birthday, and Emma and Ethan have just had a huge blow-up with Sutton. It'’s been a tough night for Emma and Ethan, and things are about to get tougher when they find Sutton has disappeared after their argument and the Mercer family car is missing from the garage. When the police find the car at the bottom of the lake, Emma and Ethan look to each other for support, but Thayer threatens to tear them apart with his accusations against Ethan. Meanwhile, Char’'s aunt, Rebecca (recurring guest star CHARISMA CARPENTER - Buffy the Vampire Slayer), has returned to town and Char is the only one happy about it.

With Sutton's whereabouts still unknown and a threatening note delivered via Sutton's signature packaging, Emma is feeling uncertain and on edge. So when she is invited to scout out the University of Texas's tennis program, Emma surprises her dad and accepts the invite. Still, Emma can't escape the fact that her twin may be gone for good. Meanwhile, Rebecca (recurring guest star CHARISMA CARPENTER) tries to help Char when her mom, Phyllis (recurring guest star SYDNEY BARROSSE), has another drinking "episode."
