The noise in the woods was, in fact, Jason.  Joslyn comes running down the stairs all excited; she just got her dad’s text.  Jax tells Carly her mission to find their daughter’s donor is misguided and it needs to stop.  Nina meets a man at the bar; he walks her back to her room, notices the magazines and asks if she’s associated with Crimson.  She tells him she’s the editor.  He says he always dreamed of being one of those guys, in the suits; saw her recent article on old-money families.  I’m pretty sure this is supposed to be Valentene (different actor though).  He says his name is Theo Hart.  She asks about the cut over his eye; he says some one treated him unkindly, but he’s sure that person is very sorry now.  The police tell Franco he needs to come with them; they have new evidence they need to talk to him about.  Laura comforts Lulu… tells her Spencer needs them.  

Spencer is trying to call his father on a camp phone; he leaves him a message.  The counselor comes in and asks what he has; when he leaves, Spencer calls back and carries on his one-sided conversation.  Lulu tells Laura about finding her dad’s bracelet and earring on a skeleton in the tunnels.  They discuss the possibility of it all being an elaborate set-up by Helena (just one of her games).  “Theo” asks Nina a question that makes her suspicious; she tells him to cut out the act – she knows what he’s up to.  She tells him she’s on to him; says he doesn’t need to keep giving her so many compliments to get her to forget her ex boyfriend.  She says she’s glad to know she can depend on the kindness of strangers, and gently kisses him on the cheek; they begin kissing passionately. 

Cristina and Morgan talk; he tells her he’s proud of her – joking that she has doubled her playing field… now she can date anyone.  But then she muses about how she’s alone now, saying she probably should be.  The police ask to search the studio; Franco tells them to get a Warrant.   Jordan demands he come with them now; she says they have enough cause to hold him for 24 hours.  Laura thanks Jason for all he has done and apologizes for the actions of her son.  They hear another boat… it’s a Naval patrol ship.  Sonny agrees with Jax about Carly deceiving Joslyn, as much as he hates to, but he still wonders what his agenda is.  Jax makes a call, saying he has an update; he thinks he got Carly to drop the search, and as for Sonny, he thinks he can ‘handle’ him too.  Valintene has Nikolas’ phone; he listens to Spencer’s message and repeats the name of the camp Spencer gives.
