Episode #13 – 1998
Present Day
Will and Samantha
Will is in his law office, talking to a Private Investigator. The detective has been looking for Will’s daughter Amy for almost a year with no luck. Will is frustrated and leaves for a meeting downtown. Samantha starts following him on the street. When Will notices her, he gets very angry. She tells him that Carla has found Amy and Meghan’s address and Sam and Will decide to drive there.
They’re still on the road late at night and finally Samantha persuades Will to stop at a motel. It makes no sense to arrive to see Amy at three in the morning. The old man running the motel thinks they’re married or a couple until they ask for separate rooms. He gives them adjoining rooms just in case they change their minds.
The next morning, a nervous Will and Samantha find the correct street but the street number doesn’t exist. They’re shocked and wonder if Carla made a mistake. They head for the local Sheriff station and inquire. The Sheriff is skeptical when they explain they’re Amy’s parents. A man claiming to be Amy’s father (Meghan’s ex-husband Paul) was there a few months earlier asking similar questions. The Sheriff relates that there had been a fire eight months ago and that Amy and Meghan had died in it. When pushed for proof, the Sheriff shows Will a picture of a burned home and the bodies of a woman and girl holding each other. There’s no doubt that it’s them.
As Will drives towards home, Sam says they’ll need to tell Carla and they should do it together. Will says that there is no “together” for them. He never got a chance to know his daughter and he’ll never forgive Sam.
Craig, Aaron and Jenna
Jenna and Aaron are talking to Craig at his 30th birthday party. Craig isn’t very happy and is approached by a young woman named Courtney who works in his office. She comes on to him. Craig tells her he’s flattered but walks away. Later, he notices a stain on his shirt and goes to his room to change it. Courtney is there, makes small talk, asks him if he likes her earrings, and lures him into bed. With all of Craig’s frustrations with Samantha and work, it’s not long before they’re passionately kissing and removing their clothing. But Craig stops and tells her that he’s not ready for this. He apologizes and leaves.
Jenna looks sexy but is disappointed that Aaron isn’t paying any attention to her. While Aaron is chatting across the room, a handsome guy named Ben approaches her. Wanting to test Aaron, she flirts and jokes with Ben. Aaron notices and is both surprised and angry.
As Craig makes a drink, Aaron tells Craig he had a fight with Jenna and he leaves. Jenna avoids Craig’s glance and bumps into Ben who again shows interest in her. She ducks into the bathroom to find Courtney snorting cocaine. Jenna asks her to stop doing that in her friend’s place. Courtney awkwardly gathers her things and leaves. Jenna watches her go and realizes Craig is watching as well.
The next day, we see Craig in his loft with a police officer, learning that Courtney was found dead of an overdose on a bench. The police know she was there the night before which Craig confirms. He says he didn’t pay much attention to her which surprises the officer. The officer says that Courtney’s parents assumed that she was involved with Craig since she spoke of him so often. Craig suddenly spots one of Courtney’s earrings on the floor next to his bed. He distracts the officer and kicks the earring under the bed. The policeman thanks him for his cooperation and leaves.
Jenna is packing for New Zealand and Aaron tells her that he wishes she wasn’t going. Jenna agrees that it was good between them but that it wasn’t love. They kiss and hold one another. Aaron says that maybe it was love but that he couldn’t see it. In tears, Jenna tells him that if it was love, he wouldn’t have to convince himself of it. He’ll know it when he finds it.
Carla
Carla is working at a publishing house, talking to Audie about new employee Paul. Audie tells her Paul’s background check was spotless and that if she wants to file a complaint, they’ll have to follow-through.
Later, in the parking garage, Paul confronts Carla. He blames her for sending Amy away, tells her how Amy and Meghan died in a house fire and that a photo of Amy was all he had left. Carla’s overwhelmed and Paul shoves her hard and slams his fist on the hood of the car. A security guard comes onto the scene and Paul claims they were just talking. The guard is cautious and Paul remarks that he raised his voice, but the guard didn’t see anything, did he? The guard agrees that he didn’t, but points to a security camera that did. Paul’s dangerous behavior is finally caught on tape.
The next day, Paul’s office is being cleared out. Audie tells Carla that upon further inspection they found that Paul lied on his resume, had been charged with assault, and more. Being the best person for the job, the Board has decided to offer Carla Paul’s old job and office. Carla is surprised and accepts. Audie tells her that Paul’s stuff will be cleared soon, but if she wants to keep anything, she can. Looking down at the framed photo of Amy, Carla says there’s one thing she’d like.
