The Roses search for their missing son, David, while Alexis takes her relationship with Mutt to the next level despite technically being engaged to Ted.
Tropes in this episode include:
- "Could Have Avoided This!" Plot: If only Alexis had responded to David's text, which she seems completely oblivious to.
- Expansion Pack Past: This episode starts ramping up the horrific nature of Alexis's teen years.Alexis: I wasn't missing; the FBI knew where I was the entire time.
David: I slept in the cab of a truck for an entire night.
Alexis: Oh my god, who hasn't, David? - Hidden Depths: Mutt mentions that he moisturises his hands.
- Knight in Sour Armour: Stevie throughout the entire episode is the person who shows the most active concern for David's welfare, before bitterly telling him she hoped he'd never come back.
- Parental Neglect: Moira constantly screams in this episode...but it's nothing to do with David's exit and everything to do with her missing bag.
- The Thing That Would Not Leave: Although it's only been three days, David's Drama Queen nature apparently means that the Amish want rid of him immediately.David: I don't know if I'm ready to leave.
Amish Father: And yet you are. - Ungrateful Bitch: Alexis and Moira throughout. Alexis doesn't want to go find David because she's tired, and Moira is extremely rude about Stevie's car.Is this car your home?
