Amy is thrilled to discover through television reports that Noelle has let news of Amy’s pregnancy out. Amy reveals that the pregnancy is fake too. She stole some of Noelle’s urine; Noelle is pregnant with her fourth child. She used Noelle’s urine for the pregnancy test at the doctor’s office.
Amy meets a girl at the pool who she imagines is on the run from an abusive relationship. They start hanging out together. Amy cannot tell if the girl—Greta—recognizes her or not, as they watch Ellen Abbot’s current story about Amy. Amy tells Greta that her name is Nancy; only after this lie does she realize she has introduced herself to Jeff as Lydia.
Nick, Go, and Tanner search Bill Dunne’s house for Amy’s “treasure,” but do not find it. Tanner wants to get ahead of the story by going to the police with what is in the woodshed, but he hesitates to do so without knowing what Amy has hidden in the house. He tells Nick that they will have to tell the police about Andie, too. Nick is upset because Tanner doesn’t think they have enough evidence to show the police that Amy is framing him.
Later that day, as the media swarm outside his house, the Elliotts arrive.
