Chapter 1: 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?

Chapter 2: 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.

Chapter 3: 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?

Chapter 4: 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.
I know I'm generally a mistrusting person, but Steve's story sounds extra insane. Unbelievable, actually. And 17 years of radio silence, now he's dying to be a part of my life? I don't buy it.
If you knew Steve as well as the rest of us, you would trust him.

Chapter 5: How does Ella feel about her father Steve?
No. Steve is working with the FBI, so soon those guys will step in and the charges against me will be dropped.
Okay. You were right. Everything always works out for the royals. Towel, Mr. Royal.
You're trying to cover me up already?
I feel like it would be insensitive for me to objectify you right now.
Now more than ever, I would like to be objectified.
Alexa, turn off light. Reid climbs into bed with me, and I can finally let myself relax. He wraps his arms around me, and for tonight, I choose to believe Reid when he says everything will be okay.
Good night, Alex.
I close my eyes as Reed kisses me goodnight. His arms loop around my waist, pulling me close. I tangle my hands in his still wet hair. My hands slide down his bare chest.
Nothing will ever take me away from you, Ella.

Chapter 6: What challenges are Ella and Valerie facing at the beach?
My legs are burning.
I told this girl from my history class that I would visit her at work. She's a lifeguard on the weekends, and I think I see her at the next tower. Oh, she sees us!
Uh, Val? She's, like, super pretty. Her long, dark hair, and she moves so graceful like an Olympian. She looks like an actor hired to play a lifeguard, not an actual lifeguard. Mm-hmm. Pretty people can have jobs, too, you know?
Hey, Nova! Valerie! Oh my God, you actually came. Look at you in your red swimsuit. You're a real professional.
Oh, this is Ella.
Nice to meet you.
Hey, I'm Nova. Nova's in history class with me. She's on the swim team too, actually.
Yikes. I did not have a good experience trying out for the swim team.
I heard about that. I actually wanted to say... When I heard about the cool girls bullying you, it made me realize that all they ever wanted to do was gossip and party, so... I've been trying to branch out, make new friends.
