After waking up from a terrifying nightmare, Emma learns that Sutton has been suffering from the exact same dream for years. With this discovery, Sutton asks Emma to try to remember all the memories she has of her childhood with their birth mother, which, for Emma, is slim to none. It is not until during a nighttime rendezvous with Ethan that Emma remembers pieces of her former life, allowing Sutton to locate the house which Emma shared with their long-lost mother, as well as secrets many around them have tried to hide. Will the house and the new information be the missing piece of the puzzle, or are the superstitions true? Can curiosity kill? Meanwhile, with Ethan facing a lot of trouble, Emma tries to convince Ted that Ethan is innocent. But when she pushes, Emma sees she has hit a nerve with Ted, leading her to believe that he might be hiding something. Although she does not know what, it appears Ted is feeling guilty and knows more than he is willing to share.

Now that Sutton has realized there is more than just a friendship brewing between Emma and Ethan, she decides to get revenge in her own way. In doing so, she ends up hurting Thayer (recurring guest star CHRISTIAN ALEXANDER), the one man who has never let her down. Even though she knows she should make amends, Sutton cannot bring herself to allow any distractions to get in the way of finding Annie Hobbes. Back in Arizona, Emma has begun to conduct her own investigation, possibly endangering her secret switch with Sutton. Will Sutton and Emma be able to find Annie Hobbes, or will their search endanger not only their lives but the lives of others as well?

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.

When Ethan is implicated in a serious crime, he and Sutton leave town and hide out with his father, Ben Whitehorse (recurring guest star GIL BIRMINGHAM – The Twilight Saga), on the reservation where he grew up. A burgeoning tension between father and son has Sutton playing mediator, but, despite the awkwardness, she appreciates seeing a side of Ethan that she did not know when they were together. Meanwhile, Emma is left to deal with the aftermath of Ethan's situation when she must pretend to be witness to a scene where she was not present.
