Previously on "The Gates"...

You have to tell her about
her mother, her condition...

Before Charlie gets seriously hurt.

When Frank and I divorced, you were the
only one who saw me more than Buckley's wife.

I felt like we had something in common,

and maybe, fate brought us
together to help each other.

My name isn't Teresa, it's Amanda.

That was my brother you murdered.

What are you?

You know exactly what I am.

I had actually planned to kill them first.

One by one, I was gonna
strip you of your family

like you stripped me of mine.

Hey, I'm Teresa, and
you're not. So leave...

hey, I'm Teresa, and you're
not. So leave me a mess...

Knock, knock.

Who's there?

Boo.

Boo who?

Don't cry. It's just a joke.

Hey. Oh, hello.

Morning.

- Hello, Emily.
- Hello.

Sweetie.

Hey!

No texting at the table.

Great. Thank you for calling.

That was Dr. Peg.

Your bloodwork came back... no mono.

Cool, 'cause I was thinking
of going over to Andie's.

Yeah, give it a couple of days, cowboy?

Mom, come on.

Nick, back me up here.

- Nick.
- What?

Honey, I know you're tired, but
we got the Frank Buckley thing.

Oh. Right.

That's tonight, right?

Dad, it's your official intro as
The Gates' new Chief of police.

Do not embarrass me.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Can I come in?

Emily, your father's here.

Oh, hey, Dylan. Don't be shy. Come on in.

Thanks.

I hear you're volunteering
with my lovely wife today.

Oh, yeah, it's true.

You know, honey, maybe you
should stay home with Charlie.

I'm not sick!

Yeah, he's fine.

I don't think there's
anything to worry about.

We need to talk.

I have no intention of harming you.

Yeah, well, after what I saw last night,

I kind of find that hard to believe.

What I did, I did to save your life.

Yeah, and I'm grateful.
That hasn't changed.

Okay, you have questions. I get that.

What about Claire and Emily?

That's not important right now.

Of course it's important right now.

Your daughter spent the night at my house.

Your wife is with my
wife at this very moment.

Don't play games with me, Dylan.

How many more of you are out there?

I can't answer that.

Because you don't know or
because you won't tell me?

Because it's not relevant.
This is about you and me.

All right, I'm gonna
make this easy for you.

Holy water... it doesn't
affect me. It never has.

That was the Vatican P.R.
machine working overtime.

Furthermore, I don't sleep in a coffin,

and I can see my reflection in a mirror.

Garlic, on the other hand
... well, that does affect me,

but, then, heartburn
would do that to someone.

Is this fun for you?

Not in the least.

You know, for what it's worth,

I haven't killed anyone in eight years.

What more can I say to
you to put you at ease?

I need assurance that my family is safe.

I would never hurt your family,

but the less people that
know about this, the better.

Okay.

Okay.

Then we need to fix last night.

Now, the good news is it
was clearly self-defense,

and I can prove that she
was conspiring to murder me.

The only problem is the body.

There is no body.

What?

There is no body. I disposed of it.

- Well, if there's no body...
- Then there's no crime.

I can't risk an investigation.

I'm sure the reasons for that are obvious.

Well, there are loose ends here, Dylan.

That woman lived with one of my officers.

All right, well, then, you deal with it.

People go missing all the time.

You're not calling the shots.

Yeah, and you're not getting
what I'm saying to you.

There's only one way of
doing that, and it's my way.

Hey, Chief. Hey, I need your help.

Um, I think something's
happened to Teresa.

Look, just be reasonable.

Just 'cause you're a cop,
it doesn't change the rules.

A person's not missing until 48 hours.

Chief, you were there.
Did you talk to her?

At the dance, was she
acting unusual, or...

Aah!

No. She seemed fine.

She took our picture, she thanked us,

and that was it.

Okay.

You've known her for two weeks.

Marcus, it's not like
it'd be the first time

a woman's broken a man's
heart without an explanation.

No. Not Teresa.

I'm sorry.

I can't believe you're making me do this.

Vanessa Buckley, it's not like I want

to do business with your hubby's ex.

You know as well I do Devon
makes a damn good exfoliator.

Well, okay, just go in, get it over with.

I won't bite.

I know you won't,

unless you're interested in

losing more than your ex-husband.

This thing between us has become
rather boring, don't you think?

Was I mad when I found
out about you and Frank?

Of course, but now I want to move on.

Why don't I believe that?

Oh, I know... because
everyone who knows you

has a knife in their back.

Look, all I wanted was an
opportunity to tell you where I'm at.

As far as I'm concerned,

there's no reason you
shouldn't come in my shop.

And there's certainly no reason

why we should continue
to avoid each other.

You fell in love. That's not your fault.

That's chemistry.

Thank you.

You know, and as long as
we're talking about this,

I, um...

I just want to say that what
Frank and I did to you was wrong.

We shouldn't have gone behind your back.

I appreciate that.

Ready, Vanessa?

I should go.

I'm really glad that
we had this talk, Devon.

Me too. Have a wonderful
time at your party tonight.

Thanks.

You know what? Why don't you come?

No, I don't know if
that's such a good idea.

Why not?

If we're gonna be living
in the same community,

we need to show Frank
that we can make amends.

It would really mean a lot to me.

Okay, I will.

All right.

Chief, I think I got a lead on Teresa.

Eddie at the front gate said that
Dylan Radcliff was the only car

to leave The Gates last
night after the dance.

I think we should question him.

Look.

Look, I know this is difficult for you,

but you're jumping to conclusions, okay?

Now, me and Radcliff took our daughters

to the dance last night,
and he's a decent guy.

Yeah, but you didn't think so before.

You said you thought
he was hiding something.

Marcus...

we have no legal reason
to harass this man.

Now, I'm sorry, but
you have to let this go.

Okay. Sorry.

Hi, this is Dylan Radcliff.
Please leave a message.

Thank you.

What was that about?

Well, Principal Hewson heard about
my fundraising work in Chicago,

and he just offered me a job
in the development office.

- Well, did you take it?
- I did.

That's fantastic.

Yeah, I think Nick is gonna be thrilled.

I'm so happy for you, Sarah.

- We should celebrate.
- Yeah, I'd love that.

Ladies, hi.

Now, where would you like
me to put these art supplies

I'm donating for the little ones?

I've got crayons and markers and...

I'll make sure they get them.

Thank you, Barbara.

Always happy to help.
So, how was last night?

I bet your girls looked beautiful.

Oh, well, they danced their hearts out.

Then afterwards, we had a sleepover, so...

Oh, a sleepover... at your house?

- No, at Sarah's.
- Oh, really?

Because I have to say,
you do look tired, Claire.

Burning the candle at both ends?

But I'm one to talk.

I'm lucky if I get four hours some nights.

But then again, you two
don't have to worry about that

because you both have
such wonderful husbands.

Oh, speaking of husbands,

I'm so excited about tonight, Sarah.

Everyone is gonna be there.

Oh, great. Thanks.

Should be interesting.

Bye, now.

She's a piece of work.

Yes, she is.

Thanks.

Good morning, Mr. Radcliff.

I'd like to ask you a few questions

about your whereabouts last night.

Is now a good time?

Do you recognize this woman?

Oh, yeah, she's, um...

she's the photographer from the dance.

Teresa Goodwin.

Mm-hmm.

What's this about?

We have reason to
believe that, last night,

Miss Goodwin went missing.

Well, would "we" include
your boss, Chief Monohan?

That is none of your concern
right now, Mr. Radcliff.

You need to answer my questions...

well, perhaps you should
question your boss.

He was with me at the
dance. We drove together.

You left The Gates last night
at 4:21 a.m. in your car.

Do you mind if I ask
you where you were going?

My wife was sick.

She needed cough medicine.

Okay.

But according to my records,

you didn't return home till 5:53 a.m.

Does it take an hour and a half

to buy cough medicine, Mr. Radcliff?

Well, it does when the
nearest 24-hour pharmacy

is in Franklin...

unless you know of something closer.

Can't say that I do.

Right, well, in that
case, we're done here.

I'd like to get back to work.

Hmm.

Yeah, absolutely.

Don't let me stop you.

Mm-hmm.

Thank you for your time.

Um...

Actually, you know what?

I'm... I'm gonna need to come back.

I'd like to talk to your
wife, if that's okay.

I'm sure she can verify your story.

Absolutely. Come by anytime.

Thank you.

Well, things seem to be
pretty stable for now.

Well, there's always tomorrow.

Andie, don't think of this as a burden.

Think of it as... being unique.

Which is just another
way of saying different,

and I'm not interested in being
different right now, Dr. Peg.

Fair enough.

Now, what would you say

if I told you that you
could control your condition

the way some people
control their diabetes?

I don't know. I mean, a
little better, I guess.

So what you're saying I
have is more like a disease?

Yeah, sort of.

Your condition hinders your ability

to regulate the energy
you need to stay alive.

And when that happens,

your succubus side emerges
to feed off of others

in order to replenish what it's lost.

So, then, Charlie doesn't
really have mono, does he?

No.

What happened to Charlie
happened because...

Because of me.

Yes, but the good news
is I've been working

on an herbal supplement to help
your body regulate its energy.

And if it works,

I'll be able to maintain your
life-force levels with a daily pill

and hopefully suppress
your succubus side for good.

Hey, if this works, you'll
be able to live a normal life,

just like your mom and dad did...

Only better.

Dylan?

I need to talk to you.

What about?

I killed someone.

I feel sick telling you this.

I had no choice. She was gonna murder him.

Now, if the others find out
that I've revealed myself,

they'll kill me,

and then they'll banish you and Emily.

We're not going to let that happen.

I understand...

better than anyone.

I know you do.

Then we'll fix it.

Yeah, but Nick does
not understand, though.

Then you need to help him.

Remember, you can be very
persuasive when you want to be.

You send your officer to
my house to interrogate me.

Are you trying to set me up?

I don't know what you're talking about.

Then why are you even here?
What are you looking for?

I wanted to make sure you
didn't leave anything behind.

What more do I have to do

to convince you this is taken care of?

You take me to Teresa.

No. No, you control your man.

I want this investigation to end now.

You want it to finish,
take me to the body.

This is your last warning.

You, in my office now.

You went to the Radcliffs
against my orders?

- Yes, sir...
- Not a word! Don't say a word.

You embarrassed me. You
embarrassed this department.

Go home. You're done for the day.

- Chief...
- Go!

So what does this mean?

They were having a
relationship or something?

Okay, slow down.

What, it would make
perfect sense, wouldn't it?

That's why he's been acting
strange to me all day.

I swear he knows what's happened to her.

This could mean a lot of different things.

But if you really believe
what you're saying,

you got to come with something concrete.

Okay.

I know it hasn't been 48 hours,

but run her credit cards.

Maybe you'll find a connection.

Hey.

So, did you decide about tonight?

I'm not going... I'm not
really in the party mood.

Okay. I understand.

I think that's wise,

at least until Peg starts
you on the medicine.

I won't be late.

Dad.

Hmm?

I don't remember mom having
the weird rash like I have.

Did she get it, too?

She did.

And when you guys...

you know...

she hurt you?

Yeah.

Don't you remember all
those times when I was sick?

My allergies?

But the two of you made it
work for all those years.

Right, we made it work because
we didn't have any other choice.

We were in love.

So it is possible, even
without the medication.

No, no, hold on.

Now, that's not an option.

What we did was very dangerous.

And if we'd had the medicine to help,

we would have jumped at it.

Listen, Dr. Peg is gonna
have your pills in a few days,

and... and I want you to take those.

Yeah, but what if they don't work?

Listen, Andie.

Use the medicine.

It's your safest bet.

Officer Turner.

Hey, it's me.

Listen, um, I... I did like
you said, and... I found it.

- Found what?
- Found the connection.

Um, I ran her credit-card purchases

all the way back to the beginning,

and guess where she was living
when she opened up her account.

Guess.

Chicago. ...

the Chief's hometown.

Okay.

Good night, leigh.

Ah, good night, sir. Have fun tonight.

You need to get in here.

- Hey, Nick.
- Hey.

Got some news.

Principal Hewson offered me a job

in his development office today.

Oh.

And I thought you'd be happy for me.

Oh, no, no, I... of course I am.

You'd be great at it.

I just don't want you to get
too entrenched in The Gates.

Honey, what are you talking about?

We're about to attend
a party in your honor.

I know.

Look, Sarah, sometimes these
things... they don't work out.

And police work is as much
about fitting into the community

as it is about upholding the law.

Sometimes people don't fit.

You're not ready?

I don't think we should go,

not with everything that's going on.

Look, I've been thinking
about what happened with Nick,

and I have an idea.

When someone behaves recklessly,

what they are really
doing is they are searching

for someone to save them from themselves.

What complicates the situation
is Nick is the kind of person

who is so caught up in his own agenda,

he can't see the damage he's
doing until it's too late.

So, without some kind of intervention...

he's gonna take us all down with him,

so what I need to do is
I need to convince him

that we are on the same side.

And how are you going to do that?

Well, actually, I'm not gonna do anything.

I'm gonna let Teresa convince him for me.

These articles keep
bringing up the same...

- Yeah.
- Stories.

Oh.

Uh-oh. I don't believe it.

"Attending the funeral
were the victim's parents,

Jerry and Sharon Wolcott,

and his sister, Amanda Wolcott."

Teresa Goodwin and Amanda
Wolcott are the same person.

Barbara. How are you?

Hi, Claire.

We've really enjoyed our
time here so far. Thank you.

Nick.

- Hi.
- Hi.

How you holding up?

I'm doing... I'm doing.
... I'm... I'm doing fine.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

Seem to be fitting in pretty well. Mm.

Don't go too far. The night's young.

Hello, you two.

- Hi.
- Hi.

Sarah, this is Vanessa, Frank's wife.

Oh, hi. Nice to meet you.

I hear you're gonna be our new addition

at The Gates academy development office.

Wow. News travels fast around here.

You have no idea.

Our divorce.

Oh, Frank, you were always so predictable.

I should've known that line
of bull you sold Vanessa

was too good to be true.

- So, what are you doing in my bedroom?
- Remembering.

- Oh, really?
- Yeah.

Being back in our house after so long

has filled me with all
kinds of pleasant memories...

memories about the two of us.

It's not gonna work, Devon.

Your particular gifts don't
have any effect on me anymore.

Don't be so sure.

I have a whole new bag
of tricks these days.

I'm sure you do.

But I love Vanessa.

Oh, well. You can't
blame a girl for trying.

- Good job.
- Thank you.

Congratulations.

Here is the location of Teresa's body.

I trust you will protect
my family like I did yours.

Hey, guys.

Is everything okay here?

- Yeah.
- Of course.

Welcome to The Gates, Chief.

Has spent over $15,000
on hair transplants.

No way!

I know, I know, I know.

I heard over $65,000 in debt!

Christian, it's Claire.

I need you to call me back
as soon as you get this.

I ran into Barbara jansen
today, and I'm worried

that she's creating a bit of a problem...

at least for me...

and I was just thinking that...

On second thought, don't call me back.

I'll take care of it.

Claire.

Vanessa.

You enjoying yourself?

Of course.

What's Devon doing here?

Oh, she apologized for everything.

We're trying to work out our differences.

Vanessa, you know better
than to trust Devon.

Now, now.

After my little heart-to-heart
with her today...

I'm ready to let bygones be bygones.

And besides, we're doing this for...

Frank.

Glad you're enjoying yourself.

Chief.

Marcus.

What are you doing here?

Listen, I'm sorry to bother you like this.

I just didn't think this could wait

until you were talking to me again.

I know the truth about Teresa, Chief.

What do you mean?

What, you don't know?

No, Marcus. What are you talking about?

Her name wasn't really Teresa.

It was Amanda... Amanda Wolcott.

She was the sister of that
guy you shot in Chicago.

And I think she was here because of you.

Are you sure?

I think she came down
here to confront you,

hurt you... something.

You really never met her
at your hearing or anything?

No.

No, my review wasn't open
to the public or her family.

If I knew her, Marcus,

I would've said something
when you introduced us.

And whatever her reasons for being here,

obviously, she got cold feet.

Chief, it was my fault

that she got this close
to you in the first place.

You're a good cop,

better than you give yourself credit for.

We make choices that we have to live with.

It's part of the job.

Sometimes you got to let it go.

Yeah.

Oh, wow.

Hi, Marcus.

Mrs. Monohan, you look great.

Oh, thank you, Marcus.

- Well, see you in the morning.
- You bet.

I thought you could use one of these.

Oh, you have no idea.

Mmm.

There are a lot of people
here waiting to hear from you.

I know.

I'd be nervous if I knew
what I was gonna say.

Can I ask you something, love?

Yeah.

Are you really happy here?

Truth?

Yeah.

Yeah, I am.

I think about what we've
been through this past year

and where we are now.

I feel like we've come together here.

It's a good community, Nick.

Dana has friends, and
Charlie has a girlfriend,

and it's... it's just.
... it's all working.

We couldn't ask for much more,

except for maybe you
to be happy here, too.

Yeah, well, about that...

Yeah, I know, and before you say anything,

I know that this is a huge difference

than what you're used to,

but maybe that's not such a bad thing.

Give it some time.

You know, i... it may surprise you.

Okay.

Okay.

So, are you coming, or...

Give me a minute.

Okay.

Okay.

This puts their new year's bash to shame.

Thomas.

You're leaving already?

Yeah, I just didn't feel comfortable

about leaving Andie alone for so long...

not right now, anyway.

You know, you really
shouldn't worry so much.

Teenagers are very resilient.

You know, Andie can
handle what's ahead of her

better than you think.

Yeah, but she was asking these
questions about her mother,

and she wanted to know
how we controlled it,

and... and now I'm afraid that
she thinks she can do the same.

Well, Thomas, there is some truth to that.

Perhaps one day, when Andie's older,

she'll be able to make it
work like you and Eve did.

I...

Peg...

Andie's mom didn't die in a
car crash like Andie thinks.

See, we thought that
we were controlling it,

but then one night...

She couldn't stop.

I... I didn't have a choice.

I was forced to kill her.

Hey.

Hey.

Um, I'm glad you came by.

Yeah, me too. I... I
stopped by this morning.

I know. And you called... and texted.

Hmm. Now I feel like a stalker, yeah.

No, no, you're not a stalker.

Um, my dad didn't want me to talk to you

on account of I'm sick.

Oh, you... you don't look sick.

I mean, you look perfect.

I... I mean, like perfect.
Like healthy perfect.

- Like perfectly healthy?
- Yeah, that too.

Oh, are, uh... are those for me?

Oh, right. Yes, for you.

They're gorgeous.

Can I come in?

No.

Oh.

Um... look, Charlie.

I like you a lot.

And even though things
just ended with Brett,

I don't want to wait to see
what you and I have together...

- But I... ...
- But if we're gonna make this work,

I want to take it slow.

I want to use self-control.

I can do that.

I'm... I'm... I'm a
big fan of self-control.

- I... I use it all the time. I can just...
- Charlie.

I'll see you on Monday.

Okay.

Oh, you know what?

Uh, I... I take it back.

What?

You do look perfect.

Come here.

Self-control.

Thank you. Thank you. Good evening.

I want to say how truly honored I am

to be your new Chief of police.

And as we get to know each other,

I hope you'll come to realize
that I'm someone you can trust

to protect your homes and your
businesses and your families.

However, after many years in Chicago,

the one thing I realize

is that no police department
can do this job alone.

It takes a community of good neighbors.

The thing about good neighbors is,

no matter what our differences are,

we all look out for each other.

We all trust one another,

make our community a better place to live.

Truth is, that's not an easy thing to do.

And no matter where we live or what we do,

there are always people with agendas.

Oh, sweet Chad Taylor.

Thing about living in The Gates

is we can't let these people get to us,

because living here, we know
that we're part of a community

where our neighbors are
always watching over us.

I look forward to getting
to know all of you.

Thank you.
