Sins of The Father (Season 1, Episode 13)

THIS WEEK ON TWISTED....

So that opening was just a bit overdramatic but I can certainly say that this week's episode of 'Twisted' certainly left us on the edge of our seats. If you haven't seen this episode, check it out here.

Danny and Jo decide what to do after Vikram falls to his death.
This episode picked up right where the previous one had left off, in the woods with Jo and Danny looking over Vikram's lifeless body in disbelief.

Danny decides that he's going to run so that he doesn't get caught for killing his father. Jo agrees to help him and goes back to her house to pack him a bag of supplies. When she returns with it, Danny second guesses his initial decision and  decided instead to turn himself in and admit to accidentally killing his dad no matter the consequences.

Danny's decision pays off because when he returns he finds that Chief Masterson has cleared his name. But he still hasn't confessed to the crime that he did commit. His mom and eventually Jo tell him that he should just leave the past in the past and try to live a normal life now that his name isn't on the suspect list for Regina's murder.

Apparently, Danny can't do that. It's clear that he's struggling with doing what's right (coming forward about his father's death) or taking advantage of the fact that no one knows what he did (living a normal life). Will he ever come forward about what he did?

In addition to keeping Danny's new secret, Jo reconciles her issues with Rico. It's clear that Rico still has feelings for her but he's willing to play the part of the loyal best friend if it means not losing Jo. Now that Tyler (the guy she slept with) is out of the picture and Danny is clearly in love with Lacey, is it still possible for Jo and Rico to be together?

Rico gained a few more friends through this ordeal. He and Lacey have gotten pretty tight now that they have helped aide and abet a fugitive. Maybe helping to uncover Danny;s innocence was the best thing that could have happened to Rico. Why else would have have stepped out of his comfort zone?

Lacey on the other hand, has lost plenty of so-called friends because of this ordeal. But it may have been the best thing to happen to her. Her character is evolving. Originally, we saw her as the popular girl who wasn't going to let the 'freak' ruin her reputation no matter how long they had known each other. Now, she's put all that aside. Partially because of her feeling for Danny and partially because she's finally realized the important things in life.

Lately, she's been the one putting the pieces of this never-ending puzzle together. She was the one who tipped off Chief Masterson about Marilyn's possible involvement and in this episode she uncovers another connection.

Lacey confronts Gloria Crane as Charlie McBride eavesdrops. 
Lacey goes to Gloria Crane's barn and casually mentions the case of Regina's murder. As Gloria states that there's no other solution besides Danny being the killer. Lacey disagrees and says that Vikram is possibly involved. Gloria immediately disagrees but there's something about the surprise in her eyes that causes Ladey tip off Chief Masterson once again.

Throughout all of her crime solving, Lacey's love life is still as confusing as ever. Charlie McBride seems to be getting to know her better and she's starting to let her guard down around him. The question still remains: why did he come to town to being with? On the other side of the love triangle, Lacey receives Jo's blessing to continue dating Danny. Jo must have seen how much they care for each other and now that she's over him, why should she stop them from being together. Will Lacey go for the new guy or return to Danny?
Jack Taylor

Speaking of love, Karen Desai seems to be having a budding romance (or would it be a re-budding
romance) of her own. When Karen found out Vikram might still be alive in last week's episode, she went straight to Jack Taylor, a former friend and employee of Vikram's. In this episode we learn that Karen and Jack were having an affair when Vikram was still alive. It's clear that Jack still has feelings for Karen  but she's trying to do the right thing and not dishonor her marriage ton Vikram (although she's already done that with the original affair). Will Karen let Jack back into her life or will she continue to avoid his advances?

Chief Masterson has been pretty busy too. In the first half of the episode, he spends his time searching for Marilyn but doesn't catch her until after Lacey tells him about Gloria Crane's possible involvement. When interrogating Gloria he finds out that she and Vikram were having an affair after his supposed death. Reginia found out and Vikram paid her off to keep quiet. Once Danny came to town, Reginia thought that he should know that his father was still alive and was going to tell him — she never got the chance.

Chief Masterson traps and arrests Marilyn. 
After Regina's death, Marilyn gave Gloria Aunt Tara's necklace and had her put it in Danny's locker so that when the police searched it, they would find it. Somehow through all of this, Vikram convinced her that Danny is the one who killed Reginin. After her confession to the involvement in the cover-up, Chief Masterson asks her to call Marilyn and is able to arrest her when she came out of hiding for what she thought would be a meeting with Gloria.

The chief knows that he's solved a big piece of the puzzle but this case isn't over yet — Vikram is still on the loose. Will Chief Masterson ever find out what happened to Vikram?

As for, Tess Masterson, she's still calling Vikram's phone to tell him that he needs to come out of hiding. Is it possible that she had more to do with this case than she's letting on? When will enough time past for her to feel that she has to come forward with the things she know?

The conclusion of this episode was another nail biter. Once again, the woods where Vikram is laying dead is shown as Tess leaves yet another message on his phone. We see a pair of feet and appear near his body and a hand that reaches down to pick up his phone. Now this mystery person knows who killed Vikram and that Tess knows how to get in touch with him. What's stopping this guy from exposing all this information to the public? Or even worse, what;s stopping him from using it against them?

Mystery Man's feet near Vikram's body.

Could this mystery person be the new guy, Charlie McBride???? He seemed pretty interested in the case and we still don't know why he's come to town.

Maybe we'll find the answers to these questions on the next episode this Tuesday! In the meantime, the trailer will have to hold us over
