Claire and Gretchen are breathing heavily in the trunk of a car, covered in black hoods. But since they cast actors who are pretty to look at, they quickly pull their hoods off and end up all cozy and sweaty. Gretchen starts to make it squicky -- "Look at us: all tied up in the dark" -- and then Claire steps it up a notch -- "They have entire websites devoted to this." Sadly, that's true. They stare at each other and then apologize. Gretchen wants to know if Claire likes her as a friend or something more, and Claire says she doesn't know. Then the car bumps and they almost kiss again. Claire repeats she doesn't know, and Gretchen says "Awesome." Becky opens the trunk and welcomes them to "Hell Week." Or some sort of precursor to Hell Week.
Inside a warehouse, Becky lays down the rules to four girls (who have been rehooded): This is a "screamin' scavenger hunt." There's an Alpha Chi treasure nearby, and whichever team finds it first gets to sit out of Hell Week. You can trust Becky: You want to sit out. They've bought goldfish. Whatever that means. She reminds them someone has to win and someone has to lose, and she and the other kidnappers run out. Claire, Gretchen, and the other two sorority pledges are left alone, and the other two start shrieking, "Oh my god! Where are we?" They all remove their hoods and untape their hands. Everyone follows Claire.
Cainan Sheriff's Office. Tracy is let in to talk to Jeremy. She tells him she's a friend of Mr. Bennet's, and that they told the deputies she's his aunt. He's like, "I don't have an aunt." Wow, this kid is slow. She says he does now, because HRG fixed some paperwork and here she is. He tells her that Bennet also said that everything would go away, that the cops would buy the story, that they'd let him go. She says that all she has to do is sign him out, but he thinks that might not be such a good idea, because he killed his parents. He's a murderer. Tracy looks like she's going to cry. But I'm having a hard time feeling sorry for this slow, broody teenager when there are actual characters on this show I'd rather we see.
