5. Run, Emma, run: When Emma's 'pervy' foster brother sets her up with the cops, then offers to cover for her if she sleeps with him, Emma plays a little practice tennis on his face and flees. A smart move, since she learns that her foster family is pressing charges against her for assault and she could not go home even if she wanted to.
4. The boyfriend sitch: It's clear from the start that Sutton is pulling away from Luke (Mitch Ryan), the boyfriend her parents adore, but she doesn't get a chance to fill Emma in on all the details before she hops on the bus to LA. Details like the fact that she may have more than one guy vying for her attention.
3. Emma wins but Sutton loses: Nisha (
2. Kiss and tell: Emma is worried about Ethan (
1. A dark cabin in the woods is never a good omen: Emma arrives at the meeting place but Sutton is a no-show and when Emma returns to Sutton's house, someone has gone through Sutton's things and stolen her laptop. It looks like the twins have gotten in over their heads and the trouble is only just beginning.

The pilot was very promising, I can’t wait to see how the season unfolds. I was especially impressed by Alexandra Chando’s ability to handle the dual-roles, she does a great job of capturing the subtleties between the two characters.
One great example was when Emma (as Sutton) challenges Nisha by the pool. Knowing what the audience knows, just by looking at her facial expressions during the whole scene (and right after, when she talks w/ Laurel about why Sutton was adopted and what her parents might be keeping from her) I’m really impressed at how she conveyed emotion there – you can watch the scene at http://vimeo.com/27925968
Also, so glad to hear “Only In Dreams” by Letters play in the background, that’s such a nice summertime song
