Chapter 1: What happened in the previous episode?
On the previous episode of The Royals of Malibu.
Chapter 2: Why does Dinah have a complicated past with Steve?
Dinah was different in the beginning of our marriage. And then I neglected her, I cheated on her, and... It broke her. Every bad thing she does, I am responsible for.
Yes, Reed. I would love to go to prom with you.
Yeah?
I need you.
You have me, Ella. Get your hands off my daughter! I allowed you to continue staying with the royals because you've clearly grown attached to them.
I'm sorry. You allowed me?
But I won't allow my underage daughter to live with her boyfriend, particularly when that boyfriend is on trial for murder. It...
It might be safer for you, more normal, if you stayed with Uncle Steve for a while.

Chapter 3: How does Ella plan to stay connected with Reed?
If you all want me to go, then I guess I'll go. On Saturday night, I packed a bag and moved in with Steve. All day Sunday, I locked myself in my all-white, pristine bedroom. Then, I know it's a bad idea, but I couldn't help myself. I typed Reed Royal into the search bar of every social media app in existence.
I am warning you, you should be glad your mom isn't allowed to see you now.
Reed, stop! Do people actually believe a high school would build a moat?
Do people believe any of these lies?
I keep my phone on do not disturb and fall asleep to a playlist of conspiracy theory YouTube videos all talking about Reid. I'm so angry at everyone in Malibu for letting Reid down. And I'm angry at Reid for letting me leave. Monday morning, I woke up still angry. Reed sent me a dozen apologies, but I told him I need space. I don't want to be around anyone when I feel like this.
In a few days, everyone will realize it was unfair to kick me out of the royal house. And I'll be back where I belong. What is that? Steve?
I know you're angry at me. But when I was a kid... You know what always cheered me up?
A trampoline?
My trampoline!

Chapter 4: Why is Reed's lawyer concerned about his relationship with Ella?
Last thing, how come you're not in any extracurriculars? Callum told me at your old school you were in clubs and stuff before your mom got sick.
Well, I actually liked the kids at my old school. I don't want to spend any more time than I have to at the Cove.
Well, you gotta spend a little more time there. Join a sport.
A little team building could be good for you. Sorry. The whole murder trial thing has been distracting me from living my best Degrassi life.
Trial has nothing to do with you. You gotta let your boyfriend handle his business.
I thought you were like an uncle to Reed.
I'm a father to you first.
What's with all the boxes? Are you two moving?
No, the boxes are full of your stuff. Reed and Easton just dropped them off. Hey, hey! Wait! Wait a second, Ella!

Chapter 5: What challenges does Ella face living with Steve?
Hey, sorry the music sucks. I gave East the ox. Whatever, dude.
What are you doing here?
You didn't get my text? I'm taking you to school. Don't tell Papa Steve.
Why did you bring all my stuff over to Steve's place?
My dad asked me to.
Why?
Because that's where you live. Uh-oh, mom and dad are fighting.
I support your decisions all the time, Reed.
Yeah, you also call me out when I'm wrong.

Chapter 6: What is the significance of the DNA evidence in Reed's trial?
Can you please be serious, Easton?
Sure thing. I have a perhaps controversial opinion. I don't think the lawyer was wrong to suggest that you two break up. At least for a while. She doesn't know about that. Do you two talk at all, or do you just spend all your time boning?
Your lawyer told you to break up with me?
Just publicly.
Well, they might ask me about you during my deposition, so the lawyer probably wants us to actually break up.
Well, is that going to help your case?
Yeah, because of the DNA evidence thing.
What DNA evidence thing?
You're killing me, Easton. I'm not used to knowing secrets, Reed. I have no idea how to handle all this information.

Chapter 7: How does the school rivalry impact Ella and her friends?
Isn't anyone going to ask me for my side of the story? I'll tell them the truth. Brooke blackmailed us, but we never hurt her. If me living with Steve will help look like less of a motive, then I'll do it. But I mean, we could still, like, hang out during the day, right?
Steve doesn't want Reed in this house, and he doesn't want you at our place.
Really?
Our dad talked to Steve last night. Normally, we'd ignore these new rules, just like every other boundary our father has tried to set.
But Steve was talking about pulling you out of the cove. How are we ever going to see each other?
I don't know.
Wait, you two aren't going to actually break up, are you? You're Ella and Reed! You two overly responsible, anxiety-ridden freaks are perfect for each other!
I just... I need to think. Reed looks more serious than I've ever seen him. From the backseat, I reach out a hand to touch his neck. He covers my hand in his. I think Easton's going to make another joke about us, but he stays quiet. Steve is determined to keep us apart, and his plan looks like it's going to work.
Then again, for the first time, Reed doesn't seem confident the charges against him will be dropped. My plan to catch the real killer hasn't worked. The trial is getting closer every day. I mean, maybe the best thing I can do for Reed is leave him alone.
