Talk about good cliffhangers, The Lying Game episode 12 titled “When We Dead Awaken” gave us one.

Emma wants to run to the police, but Ethan and Thayer realize this seems an awful lot like one of Sutton’s Lying Games. The tell tale sign? The wrapping of the package: white paper, black ribbon.

I have to say that their plan to pull Sutton out of hiding by making her insanely jealous is a pretty good one. Besides, Emma deserves to visit a college, considering she would actually appreciate a scholarship!

I’m kind of more curious as to what’s going on with Justin. That scene at the golf course with Ted was so tense you could slice it with a knife. Why suddenly break up with Laurel? Why do we still not know the deal with the bracelet?

Obviously, Justin didn’t want to split with Laurel. The same way Derek didn’t want to break up with Char. That whole conversation between Derek and Emma was awkward and telling. Derek absolutely, positively, 100% had an involvement in the car crash at the end of Season One.

I’m guessing Char’s move to her dad’s place won’t be permanent. Char’s mother no doubt needed rehab, but Aunt “Rebecca” was pushing a bit hard for custody of Char. Honestly, there are some ulterior motives here. Then again, on The Lying Game, when can you take anything at face value?

Now that Thayer figured out that Annie Hobbs is out of the psych ward, the gang seems much more worried. I don’t blame them.

Any thoughts on this episode of The Lying Game?

After watching season 1 episode 7 of The Lying Game titled “Escape from Sutton Island,” we learned who’s the selfish twin now.

When Thayer told Emma that maybe she should just come clean, she immediately admitted that she wasn’t ready to give up her new life. Meanwhile Sutton ended up locked up in a mental institution while trying to find their birth mother. She also hooked up with a ward at the institution to get time with her mother. Sutton will do literally anything to meet this woman.

Personally I believe that most things aren’t written in stone. Especially when you’re dealing with personalities there are usually shades of gray. To me, there is no good twin and no bad twin. Emma and Sutton, like normal people, both have good and bad qualities. It just so happens that Sutton excels at showing off her bitchy, manipulative side.

Both of the girls are cheaters. Emma hooked up with her sister’s boyfriend and Sutton cheated on said boyfriend with her best friend’s brother. Emma doesn’t want to give up her cushy life as Sutton, but Sutton is the one who insisted they switch places and called all of the shots.

So where do these two sisters stand? Sutton thinks Emma didn’t fess up when Dr. Hughes called and she will likely blame Emma for the fact that she’s now headed back to Nevada in handcuffs. This was the one part of the episode that I didn’t think was played out correctly.

A legitimate doctor wouldn’t have shadily called someone late night and then hung up on her. Sutton is a minor, so a doctor would’ve asked to speak to the parents or at least made her aware of the situation. It’s not exactly legal to assume someone else’s identity!

What I want to know is how Travis found Emma? Did Sutton contact him and tell him to go to her? Or was he doing his own digging? Super creepy ending to an amazing episode.

I have to say that Laurel has definitely become my favorite character. She’s funny, sarcastic, and has the best dialogue of all of the characters. I really hope that what she has, or had with Justin prior to her parents busting in, is a real thing. I love them together.

Char and her new prepaid boytoy? She is exceptionally naive, but then again what girl hasn’t been naive when it comes to a guy at some point or another?

All in all, the one girl who obviously got played the worst was none other than Annie Hobbs. Not only did Alec and Ted break her heart and drive her out of Arizona, but someone (likely Alec) told her that her children were dead. The poor woman thought she was hallucinating when Sutton finally made contact.

I think we’ve only just scratched the surface of this whole Annie/Alec/Ted story. If you thought this episode was intense, I’d buckle up for next week. Now with Sutton trapped in Nevada, Travis in Phoenix, and new Annie revelations, things are sure to get even more out of control.

Plus, how long can Emma continue to pretend she’s Sutton? Her friends are on to her and she can only keep them at bay for so long. Another thing she can’t keep at bay for long? Her desire for Ethan.
