Anna Learns Charlotte Is Her Stalker
Olivia works to free “Eddie” from the seaweed he got tangled in after diving into the water. She pulls him up to the shore and begins performing CPR on him. He eventually comes to and spits water out. Olivia cries, “You’re alive, honey your okay!”
“Eddie” tells Olivia that she saved him. She says she’d do anything for him and he says he should have known that by now. When she calls him “Eddie,” he tells her, “It’s not Eddie, I’m Ned.” Olivia cries that she thought she had lost him forever. He says she didn’t, and now he knows how to finish the siren song. She’s confused, and he says he remembers everything that’s happened these past few months, and they kiss.
Olivia and Ned head into the boathouse to grab towels and dry off. They sit down, and he says things are still a bit fuzzy, but he remembers everything. He says it was like he was here the whole time. However, he knows she was also prepared to let “Eddie” stay. She tries to defend her actions, but he says she misunderstands, and he loves her for supporting him. He needed that space, and “Eddie” was his safe escape, back to a time when it was just him and his music and not his family suffocating him over ELQ. Olivia asks if Lois, who was the last person he saw as “Eddie,” is the reason he came back to them. He says Lois pushed him to take a leap of faith with his song, but Olivia is the siren who brought him back.
They head outside, and Ned tells Olivia that she saved his life. Olivia says they save each other, that’s what love is.

Spencer doesn’t care and is angry at Trina’s reaction to learning that Esme is taking Ace from him.

Laura arrives and learns from Liz that Charlotte is going to make a full recovery, and that Valentin just stepped away with Anna. Laura asks how Jake is handling this. Liz explains he is feeling guilty, and confused as to why Anna shot Charlotte. She can’t understand it either. Liz says while Charlotte will recover physically, she’ll have emotional scars, as will Jake and the others.
Laura goes in to see Charlotte. The girl immediately asks where her papa is. Laura says he went for a walk with Anna. Charlotte panics and blurts out, “Anna’s dangerous, you can’t trust her, she’ll hurt him.”

He explains Charlotte broke off from the other kids last night and headed towards Maxie’s building, so he assumed she was heading there.
