The Lying Game Episode 18 Review
by Lauren - No CommentsLast nights episode of The Lying Game was a shocker but I can’t say that I am surprised with the number of lies that fall so easily from Sutton’s tongue. She must have learnt to lie like that from Ted because Kristin seems unable to lie and scheme. However, Sutton went further than she’s ever gone before and is back to her usual ways of destroying her relationship with those closest to her, in order to get her way.
The episode started with Ethan being taken into custody and being processed by the police. Alec is keen to see Ethan locked up and decides to try Ethan as an adult for murder. Alex can;t try the case himself as he knew Derek Rogers and brings in his star prosecutor, which we never actually got to meet.
Emma continues to pretend to be Sutton and convinces Dan that a State Appointed Attorney will not help Ethan and that he needs a hot shot lawyer to fight Alec. Dan meets up with an ex-girlfriend that happens to be an A list Defence Attorney, and good looking of course. She takes the case as she remembers Ethan from when he was a little kid. She meets with Dan, Thayer, Emma (who’s still pretending to be Sutton) and Mads. Teressa explains that Ethan is a person of interest as they have no other suspects. Their job is to find another suspect. Emma tells her about the Frat guy who saw Ethan with Derek. Teressa tells them not to pursue that path as Alec is not someone to be trifled with and can make their lives hell. Emma decides to speak to Rebecca about the situation.
Rebecca listens to Emma’s worries about Alec and how much she loves Ethan. Rebecca tells Emma that she will take care of it.
Emma asks Teressa if she can see Ethan and Teressa says she will try and arrange it.
Sutton is back at the cabin and Emma goes to talk with her. Sutton intercepts a message to Emma’s phone saying she can visit Ethan at the jail. Sutton responds to the message and delete’s the message from Emma’s phone. Emma goes home and Sutton goes to the jail.
Sutton sees Ethan and he thinks it’s Emma. He tells her that something happened with Sutton but it didn’t mean anything to him and that he loves her, Emma. Sutton continues pretending to be Emma and hurt Ethan back by saying she (Emma) slept with Thayer while he was away.
Rebecca goes to dinner with Alec and gets a strange message from the waiter. it says not to trust her date – Alec. The next day Rebecca gets receives a text with a picture of Alec threatening Derek Rogers with a tyre iron. Alec is forced to drop the case against Ethan as Alec could be implicated in the murder. Did Rebecca send those messages to herself? Was she there when Alec threatened Derek? Now it makes me wonder if Alec killed Derek or if it was Rebecca, in order to frame Alec so she can control him and make him do what she wants?
Emma is thrilled that Ethan is a free man but he goes home with Dan without talking to her.
Sutton sneaks into her room and tells Emma that while she was away with Ethan on the ranch they slept together.
