On tonight’s “Finding Carter,” the show’s titular character stole away into the night with the hope of leaving everything she knew behind her. But in a single second en route to California, she was forced to face the sobering fact that running away is much easier said than done.
Carter, who was wrongfully accused of stealing jewelry that belonged to Bird’s mother, found herself behind bars on last week’s episode, but Crash swooped in and bailed her out — and soon, the two hit the road to make a new life for themselves on the West Coast. Elizabeth was determined to reclaim her prodigal daughter, though, and used her clout in the police force to send out an amber alert.
Rather than give up the good fight, though, Carter, who presumed that her kidnapper/mother Lori caught wind of the signal, decided to capitalize on the notice and asked Crash to stop by the gas station to visit Max before the outlaws ditched town. Max had acted as the middleman between Lori and Carter before, and she was sure he’d be willing again. But when she arrived, Max only pleaded for her to stay; Crash became upset and soon followed her into the store.
Short on cash, Crash demanded that Max hand over the contents of the register — and flashed a gun to enforce the point that he was serious. He assured the worried Carter that the safety was on, but when he flicked his wrist upward, the gun went off, and soon, Max was left motionless on the floor in a pool of blood. Crash wasn’t willing to stick around to see Max to the hospital, and just as quickly as he’d burst in, he was gone.
The Wilsons, who finally reunited with Carter at the hospital, were in varying states of shock as they awaited news on Max’s condition. Elizabeth was thrilled to finally see her daughter again, Grant was visibly shaken by the news that Max — who he’d begun to see as a big brother — wasn’t out of the woods yet and Taylor, surprisingly, went on the offensive. She blamed her twin sister for the incident, chided her for seeking comfort from the family she abandoned and swore to Carter that she’d never forgive her.
There’s still no telling what will happen to Max, but it’s even more unclear where the Wilsons can go from here. Will they forgive Carter for her reckless behavior, and will she be welcome in their house ever again? Share your opinion in the comments below!
