What happened in the previous episode?
On the previous episode of the Royals of Malibu. One of the servers said Brooke had been pushed. You were seen talking to Brooke on the roof, Reed. A few moments later, a witness saw a man get into a physical altercation with Brooke. A different man. Right. Two separate men. What a coincidence. I'm not falling for this girl power good cop routine. You don't care about me. You just want me to talk. When you look at the royals, you see a bunch of rich jerks, but they're not like that. And I'm not going to let you pin this on them. Welcome back to the Cove, Ella St. Clair. Out of the way. Aren't you kids supposed to be in class? Is that Reed? Yeah. They were arresting him? Are you Ella?
Who is Steve O'Halloran and why is his return significant?
My breath catches in my chest and I freeze because I'm face to face with someone who I thought was dead. Steve O'Halloran, my dad. Spiraling down.
You're my dad? You're supposed to be dead. Yeah, I'm not. Sit down over here. I'm sorry. I should have called first, but it's OK, Ella. You're safe with me. I don't even know you. Steve sits me down in the foyer, and my mind is spinning. How could this be possible? Did I accidentally take some of Easton's shrooms? That's Callum's car. Reed? Ella. I was so worried about you. I'm back. I'm out on bail. Wait. Is that? Hi, Reed. Callum. How? How? I know. I'm sorry. Come here, Reed. What? What's going on? Oh. I can see tears in both Reed's and Callum's eyes. The three men hug each other, and once again, I feel like an outsider. The royals love Steve, but I can't help but feel like the stranger is about to change my entire world.
What is going on? I can explain everything. Come in. Come in. Since it's a special occasion and Reed is back home, Well, you two can have one glass of champagne each. Do you guys seriously feel like celebrating? Of course I do. My son is home safe and my best friend is alive. Well, cheers to being alive. Here, here. Steve, you still haven't told us why you lied to everyone and pretended to die. Oh, wow, that is some expensive shit, Callum. I'm sorry for deceiving you all. I hope you know that I would only ever do something like this for your safety. What does that mean? Callum, you remember my legal dispute over the waterfront properties? I remember you came to an agreement in arbitration. Yeah, well, you were right to refuse business with those criminals.
They didn't like the terms of the settlement, it turns out, so they start threatening to take care of me. Take care of you? Like, kill you? Yeah, exactly. Look, it was all very Sopranos. So apparently the crooks have a long history with the FBI. So then the FBI came up with a plan for me to disappear while I was in Greece with Dinah. And I've been hiding ever since. Look, any day now, those guys are going to get hauled off to federal prison. And until then, I need to lay low.
Why was Reed Royal arrested?
Are you in danger, Steve? Surely you'd be safer in Europe far away from here. I think the thugs who came after me must be the guys who killed Brooke. Why would they kill Brooke? I don't know, but it can't be a coincidence. Look, I'm sorry, Callum. I'm so sorry about all of this. It's not your fault. Can we tell the detectives this? They're coming after me for Brooke's death. Yeah, yeah, I'm working on it, kid. I told the FBI what I think is going on. I hope they decide to work with the LAPD, but it might take some time. So you heard about Brooke and then came back here to what? To protect you, Ella. Look, I know you don't know me, but I am your father. And it's my responsibility to keep you safe. I can keep myself safe. I've done a pretty good job of that for the last 17 years. Callum, can I be excused?
Of course. Me too. Yes, you should both go to bed. Good night. Good night.
What is the true story behind Steve's disappearance?
Good night. What the hell was all of that? The Steve stuff? Yeah, it's like a Mission Impossible movie. He's a real-life action hero. Or a liar. A liar. I'm changing into my pajamas. You really trust everything Steve is saying? Of course. Look, Steve can be a little wild, but he's a good guy. You don't know him yet, but if you do decide to hang out with him, I think you'll like him. A lot.
