Alright, so we know that Nick as been in the house very recently, but Stef has cleared it. She tells everyone that they are basically on lockdown and she wants everyone's computers and phones, as she doesn't want them to see any sensationalized news about the incident (or Callie to see anything going around about her). Brandon asks for permission to get his keyboard out of the garage, and when he's leaving, we can see Nick is hiding up in the rafters. So, Stef cleared the house, but Nick's not far.

AJ shows up and apologizes about fleeing when he saw her and Brandon together and thinks he was wrong and she really is over him. No idea if I agree with that or not. But either way, he's got a laptop. Mariana tries to log into Fost and Found, but Justina has kicked her out (how long ago did we call that). She seems to have some ideas on what to do, but Callie just wants this all to be over and tells her they lost Fost and Found and they should just deal with it.

The family is watching a movie together and Stef is still anxious and she keeps checking the house for signs of Nick. We can see that he's in the house, but he keeps managing to evade detection. When we finally fall asleep, Brandon wakes Callie up in the middle of the night and they are sort of chatting about what's going on (I actually can't remember what they are discussing), when Stef finds them and sends Callie back to bed.

In the morning, she forbids any of the kids from going anywhere (even though Jude and Jesus both get permission to leave), but Brandon tells her he was planning to help Courtney move, but Stef tells him too bad. He goes anyway, and it's Callie, Mariana, and AJ at the house. They use his laptop and phone to hack into Justina's account and Mariana sets it up to reroute anyone who clicks on it to page she's made called Justice for Jack, which shows only (as far as I understand) pictures of her check from Arbiter, implicating her in this mess.

After this, Mariana decides all this computer hacking has made her tired so she goes upstairs to take a nap. But Nick has finally revealed himself. He's got the gun and is pointing it at Mariana telling the voices in his head won't leave him alone, his dad has been abusing him. It's not in his right mind. It seems clear he's got some mental health issues happening right now. Eventually, he turns the gun on himself and Mariana is begging him to stop. She tells him she loves him. Anything he wants to hear to keep the two of them safe. Thankfully, Callie happens to see this, just as Mat has arrived to see Mariana. Callie sends him down to get Stef, and by the time she's entered, Mariana has taken control of the situation. The gun is abandoned on the bed, and Nick is basically just crying in her lap. Stef takes over and Nick is lead away in handcuffs.

My god, this show is tense! Also, total side note, Lauren has informed me that she went home and binged the rest of the series. And still can't decide if she's seen it all or not. Lol.
