After being kidnapped by her abusive husband, Maddie must survive until help can arrive.

Tropes featured in the episode:

  • Bathroom Breakout: Maddie almost succeeds, but Doug catches up to her.
  • The Big Damn Kiss: Between Maddie and Chimney after she is rescued and finds out he is still alive.
  • Boom, Headshot!: Doug kills the gas station manager with the man's own gun after he tries to save Maddie from Doug.
  • Borrowed Biometric Bypass: At the hospital, Buck unlocks Chimney's iPhone by pretending to cry over him so he can use his fingerprint.
  • Character Death: Doug is killed by Maddie in self-defense.
  • Gun Struggle: Doug gets into one with the gas station manager, then shoots him.
  • Irony: The weapon that causes Doug's downfall is a chimney poker.
  • Laser-Guided Karma: After spending years abusing Maddie, Doug is killed when Maddie stabs him in self-defense.
  • Man Bites Man: Maddie bites Doug's hand while struggling for the knife.
  • My God, What Have I Done?: Chimney feels this way for unwittingly luring Doug to Maddie's home, not knowing his new friend Jason was Maddie's abusive ex-husband.
  • Never My Fault: Doug refuses to take the blame for his actions, saying if Maddie hadn't run away, he wouldn't have had to stab Chimney or kill the gas station manager.
  • "Psycho" Strings: Nerve-wracking string music plays as Doug chases Maddie in the mountains.
  • Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Because Buck stole and unlocked Chimney's phone, he broke the chain of evidence. Even if Doug was caught and arrested, anything on the phone couldn't be legally used against him.
