Joining Tessa at CL’s, Daniel’s told that the police might know where Mariah is.
Aboard the Winters jet, Abby and Sharon empathize with each other’s position. Abby’s sorry if she sounded cold about Mariah. She shouldn’t have taken your son, Sharon states the obvious. All agree that Mariah needs help and want the situation to end peacefully.
Driving through the night, Mariah’s attempt to force enthusiasm falls flat. This isn’t fun anymore and my name’s NOT Bowie! Dom pouts.
James updates that the police were able to get a better description of Mariah’s car and a partial plate. This could be over very soon.
Dom refuses to sing along with Mariah or play I Spy – he doesn’t even want to play Hide and Seek anymore. I miss my Mom and Dad; I want to go home!
Mariah’s surprised Dom’s tired of Hide and Seek. It’s taking too long, he thought the game would be over by now and wants to go home to his parents. They don’t want you to come home right now, she finally blurts out.
Tessa updates Daniel that Sharon flew to Oklahoma with Devon and Abby. Why didn’t you go? he wonders.
Your parents are excited to finish the game – this is the journey of a lifetime, Mariah lists all the things Dom will love about Mexico. He just wants to finish the snowman he was making with his Mom. Mariah wishes Dom was more excited about his new home. New home??! Dom is NOT excited.
Abby tells Sharon about the stuffed dog on her lap; Chance gave Mr Protect and Serve to Dom. James reports that Mariah’s car has been spotted at a diner in New Mexico. Abby has some thoughts about how things should proceed.
Tessa decided to stay with Aria – she’s too angry to face Mariah, but is sorry she’s in such a dark place that she kidnapped Dom. She doesn’t blame Daniel and she owns her feelings for him.
You’ll want this to be your new home, Mariah corrects herself to calm Dom down. He misses his toys – and his Mom and Dad. The car ride is making him feel sick. Yes, your Mom and Dad will be there – they’re on their way right now, Mariah lies. Dom asks her to call them.
On the plane, Abby and Sharon agree that the cops shouldn’t pull Mariah over. It’s best if we’re all there first. James will have unmarked cars follow her. Devon thinks Sharon would be the best person to approach her first – as Mariah’s Mom and a therapist.
There’s no reception out here, Mariah barks at Dom to put his seatbelt back on. Yanking the hat off his head, Dom complains – you’re being mean. Mariah looks at her empty passenger seat. Where are you (Ian) when I need you the most?
Mariah’s pulled the car over to talk to a sulky Dom – what can I do to make this fun again? Want to find an arcade? Disneyland? I’ve gone to so much trouble – can you show me some appreciation? He’s increasingly sullen, she’s increasingly desperate.
Daniel will take Tessa any way he can get her. She worries about his (and everyone else’s) feelings. Tessa fell for Daniel while waiting for Mariah. My wife wouldn’t let me in, you did – she has no regrets.
