Decorated vet Murphy 'finally' finds a place to land the chopper. Kevin's not sure one of the people he saw running is Jana or not.
*I lost signal for 4 minutes for some reason*
At the mausoleum, Amber's on the phone - leaving someone a long whiney message (all about the 'little boy' who's with her). She 'can't go home - Daniel, he ... *sigh* call me - or stop by the house - bye'. When Daniel arrives at the door, Amber doesn't want to hear what he found out about Daisy - nothing he says can fix this.
Go ahead PATTY - tell me how you turned yourself into Emily! Jack holds the diary open. No? I'm crazy? he balks. Patty calmly understands Jack's confusion and problems - oh, and she doesn't like that word. Yeah, well, this diary's CRAZY - the ravings of a lunatic. Jack lost his niece because of Patty - and now his wife!? This farce ends NOW!
May I? Patty takes the book - she should be angry at Jack for invading her patient's privacy. How could he think that SHE, Dr Emily Peterson, would write something like this. It's perfectly reasonable that Emily would have Patty's diary - to take notes. NOTES? A monkey on a typewriter could come up with something that makes more sense! These are Patty's thoughts; her dreams, her feelings, 'Emily' sounds indignant. The man she married wouldn't read it - let alone mock it. Maybe I don't know YOU.
Daniel only needs 2 minutes of Amber's time? Makes sense - it only took him 2 minutes to fall into bed with someone else! But crazy, mean Daisy? Amber assumes SHE'S OK not having kids. Daniel was just trying to get info - when Daisy drugged him. He would never betray Amber like that - she MUST know that.
Driving with Phyllis, Mike rants about Daisy and Ryder altering Lauren's behavior (to the point that she attacked Phyllis). It wasn't Lauren - the look in her eyes, Phyllis drops the 'S' bomb. Lauren's snapped. Mike knows there was something off - and blames himself for moving out (instead of protecting Lauren from herself). We'll get her help, Phyllis assures - then, for some odd reason, talks about the Harvest Festival. Lauren's strong - and she loves you.
The carousel rotates. Oh God, my head, Jana groans above the loud carnival music. Also onboard, Daisy whines to Sarah - it was Ryder who released them. Great - now Mama Bear has to clear up their mess! Thank goodness she came prepared (with a gun). Still hidden on the booth seat, Lauren calls out a deal - she'll give herself up if Jana's let go. No thanks, Sarah will just kill them both. Lauren helps Jana jump off he carousel - as Kevin approaches 'Lauren' (telling her to put the gun down), Jana screeches - KEVIN! That's not Lauren. Huh? Time to see Daddy, Sarah shoots at Kevin.
Moseying around the zoo, the Murphy's find no signs that anyone's been there - maybe Kevin went the right way. Murphy reaches for Kay as they hear a gunshot. Oh God! - Phyllis and Mike heard it too (now parked). Lauren said 'good bye', Mike fears the worst - and instructing Phyllis to lock herself in the car, races off into the darkness.
Popping up from behind a horse, Kevin grabs for the gun (which goes off during the struggle - then clatters to the floor of the carouse). Falling, Sarah hits her head. Punching buttons to bring the ride (and music) to a gradual end, Daisy runs to Sarah (who hisses - 'get the gun'). Jana sobs in Kevin's arms - you're real! (while Lauren fills him in that Ryder and Daisy are with Sheila's sister). Let's get to the helicopter - before that psycho comes to! Too late. Seeing Sarah and Daisy now standing, Lauren sends the Fisher's off to save Phyllis and Mike. No! They'll kill you! Jana argues. Hopping back onto the motionless carousel, Lauren didn't survive Sheila to let that bitch bring her down! Kill them, Sarah orders Daisy (as SHE runs after her lookalike). Daisy now points the gun at the Fisher's - ahhh, together forever. Ryder appears - Daisy - don't!
'Which one am I'? a merry (yet creepy) carnival game voice rings out. And to the tune of 'Pop Goes The Weasel', Sarah chases Lauren into an old amusement park attraction; the house of mirrors.
Locked in the car, Phyllis reels in shock (that her BFF's homicidal) - flashing back to Mike's concern (then Sarah's aggressive behavior). *Gasp* - NO! Oh my God, Phyllis' eyes widen - she isn't Lauren! Mike! Oh God! Phyllis hobbles out of the car.
Which one am I? the creepy clown statues call out again. In the 'house of mirrors', images of Lauren - and Sarah reflect everywhere. Gun in hand, Sarah searches (pointing the gun at her own reflection). Don't worry Lauren - Mama bear just wants to rip you limb from limb. Looking to shoot the 'sister killer', Sarah's confused by the many reflections - allowing Lauren to make a quick (and weak) lunge for the gun - before running off again. You think it's that easy? Sarah taunts (as she's surrounded by images of Lauren). You sure you're aiming at me? Lauren now teases. You SURE you have me? Apparently not. Sarah shoots (and shatters) a mirror. You think you can get away!? And as the chase continues, Mike arrives - times 3 - walking cautiously, he crunches glass with each nervous step. Lauren! Thank God I found you, he's relieved (but mistaken).
Ryder stands to shield the huddled Fisher's - Daisy's gun pointed at the 'idiot's' chest. We'll run away - just you and me, he urges. You think you get a free pass because you're my brother? Newsflash - HE's my brother too, Daisy cocks the gun. And she's gonna shoot Kevin ..... cause Sarah told her to. And Ryder's gonna die too if he keeps this up. Ryder continues to work on his twin - it'll be OK - I promise. Slowly, he edges the gun from Daisy's hand (and places it on the ground). You and me, right? We have to run before the cops get here, Daisy murmurs. Why do you always have to be so stupid? she sighs, then sulks off. Stop! Gun in hand, Kevin wants someone to pay for what's been done to Jana. And since he's let Daisy go, 'it may as well be' Ryder (who puts on his puppy dog, don't-shoot-me face).
No matter what Jack says, Patty DOES indeed have an answer. Their marriage 'train wreck' - your jealousies - your lies, Jack wonders how they got 'here'. He doesn't know who she is. Wanna know what's 'insane'? Jack would rather be married to a photograph - so what, people change - if she's not the way Jack wants her to be, he'll just walk away!? It's not about change, Jack argues - it's a fundamental difference in who she was then - and now. You wanted to marry me - this was your choice. No - Jack's choice was a warm confident Emily - NOT a woman who spends every waking moment covering her tracks - and lying - whoever the hell you are. There's a woman in a padded cell, insisting she's Emily - and Jack's inclined to believe HER (over this 'phony').
I heard gunshots - are you hurt!? Mike's the concerned husband. Sarah's fine - it was a car backfiring. Mike then implies he thought she'd killed herself - no matter what's happened, it's OK - we can make it right. Come home - Mike will take care of her. Not yet? Mike's confused - why not? Why is she there? He won't let 'Lauren' hurt herself. Sarah scoffs - you think I'm gonna kill myself? I guess in a way, you're right. Surrounded by images, Mike's frustrated - how the hell do you get out of this place!? He's then startled to see the real Lauren (who barks 'that's Sheila's sister' - and she wants to kill us).
As Jack pours a much needed drink, Patty admits she's changed - but to believe she's not his wife? *sob* We go to bed together - the moments we look at each other without saying a word. Now, you call me a 'phony'? And when 'Emily' suggests therapy, Jack demands she add him to the list of people approved to see Patty. I want to see her tomorrow - or else. You're threatening me now? Put. Me. On. The. List, Jack slams out (leaving Patty to sob).
As Kevin gently lowers her to the ground, an agonized Jana admits her headaches are back (and worse than ever). You watched her suffer? Kevin aims at Ryder (as Jana defends him). Ryder's sorry - but Sarah was the only family he and Daisy had - we had to get justice. He then plays the 'brother card' - it was all part of the plan; Sarah's revenge. But Kevin vowing to get him out of jail - THAT'S what family's supposed to feel like. We'll never be a family, Kevin spits - RUN - it's his best offer. If they ever come back, he'll kill them. I wish .... Ryder mutters - then obediently leaves. Jana's left to babble about them making her write the letter - I'd never leave you. Phyllis hobbles over - seen Mike? Huh? Mike's here? As they all panic, Jana rambles on about a code word they MUST tell Mike.
In the house of mirrors, fake and real Lauren compete for Mike's trust. More confusion as the gun slides across the floor - then is picked up by the other Lauren. You're Sheila's sister. Not me - HER etc. etc. You may have been able to take my face - but you'll never be able to take what Mike and I have. Sarah - put the gun down! The dueling Lauren's take turns offering details to convince Mike. The gun aimed at Sarah, Lauren emotionally recites his vows. So what - Sarah could have known your vows. But a teary Mike knows - Lauren!
Back at the mausoleum, Amber reports that Eric's still asleep. Daniel thanks Amber for believing him - about Daisy. But, it doesn't matter - Amber can't pretend she's OK without 'him' - we belong together. Not another guy dumbass - ERIC. Amber can't NOT be his Mom (because Daniel won't be his Dad). Daisy isn't their problem. Daniel wants to work it out - they'll make a bed for Eric at home. It's all about YOU, Amber whines - well, she now has a kid to worry about (and still feels they need time apart). I love you, Daniel sighs sadly in parting. He's ready to talk - or listen - or whatever she needs. Now alone, Amber cries.
On the CL's patio, Jack talks to his newly adopted cat (for whom he'll provide a nice feline life for - AFTER the cat helps him). You ready Missus Kitty? he talks to the carrier?
Patty rocks and sobs on the sofa - My God - this isn't happening - Jack and I are meant to be together! He can't go to the hospital! This is all YOUR fault! Stay GONE! Stay GONE! Patty repeatedly shouts - as she slices n dices the portrait with a knife (which is then left protruding from Emily's chest).
On their way to GCM, Kevin's in the back seat of the chopper - comforting Jana (who's head rests in his lap). Jana! Jana!? Kevin panics when her condition suddenly deteriorates.
Mike! There's two Lauren's! Phyllis shows up to warn (aiming a gun of her own). Mike KNOWS - aim at the woman with the gun. I know my wife, he assures. Lauren - put the gun down - let the police handle this. Sarah will go to prison. No - she'll find a way, Lauren pants. It's over, Mike insists. It's over? It ends right here - right now. You're right! Lauren agrees - mirrored images shatter (as Lauren starts shooting).
Next: How long before you can access the messages on that phone we found near Wilson's body? Pomerance asks Chance (who's working on a laptop in the station) ... Nick shouts at the man peeking through the tiny window in his cell's door - why are you doing this, huh? What do you want from me? ... Mike's on the ground, shattered glass raining around him. Lauren - stop shooting! Sarah runs off.
My Thoughts: It's just one predictable cliched scenario after another, isn't it? The amusement park's been abandoned for years - yet the carnival equipment is easily started and stopped with the push of a button. The teens who sprayed the place with graffiti were considerate enough not to break any mirrors in the easy access 'house of mirrors'. And the neighbour close (and concerned) enough to call 911 at the first sign of smoke, apparently didn't awaken to wonder why the amusement park had suddenly sprung to life ... Good thing Murphy's a decorated pilot - with perfect night vision - able to find a place to land Kay's personal chopper (something else the neighbours didn't feel the need to question) .... So, Jack's now convinced he's been living - and sleeping with Patty for months - and LEAVES the deranged lunatic (who caused his niece's death) alone in his home? No concern for Mrs Martinez? No warning to Ashley (who frequently drops by without notice)? Instead of notifying the police or Paul of his suspicions, Jack makes a beeline to the animal shelter - to adopt a cat? Does he still have his dog, Fisher? Or did he exchange canine for feline? Wouldn't a DNA test (perhaps using hair from Patty's hairbrush) be easier than making a 10+ year commitment to raise a cat? Did he pick up food, litter box and the rest of the paraphernalia necessary for owning a cat? And isn't it a bit unhygienic to place an animals' carrier on top of a table that CL's customer's eat on? Kevin doesn't have a 'no animals' policy? .... How does Patty plan on explaining the destruction to 'her' portrait? ... Where did Phyllis get a gun? And why didn't she use it when Sarah was attacking her in her own home? ... If the Murphy's have notified the hospital that they're bringing Jana in - why didn't they also report that her kidnapper's on the loose at the amusement park? ... Daniel's gonna make up a 'little bed' - for Eric? Where? And does Kay even know that she's got two more guests to provide for? With Daniel somewhat cooperative, why isn't Amber? She's willing to 'sacrifice' for Daniel (by sleeping with Deacon) - but rejects his attempt to work things out?
