Sound the alarms, alert the media and batten down the hatches — on tonight’s “Finding Carter” episode, Carter Stevens called Elizabeth Wilson “mom”…in earnest.
After Carter’s boyfriend Crash mistakenly shot Max while en route to California, Carter, Taylor and a handful of Max’s loved ones rushed to the hospital to await word on his condition. Carter did her best to placate Max’s mother, who was in hysterics at the sight of her unresponsive son, but in the back of Carter’s head, she couldn’t stop thinking about Crash. Sure, he’d done something terrible, but Carter couldn’t help but sympathize with his loneliness, and the more Crash called and begged for Carter’s company, the more difficult it was for her to ignore his pleas.
Finally, when Max was at least temporarily stable, Carter answered one of Crash’s many messages and agreed to meet him by the town’s water tower before he ditched town. Unfortunately for Crash, Elizabeth stealthily followed, and in an instant, Crash was cuffed.
Elizabeth, who’d sworn to stay out of her daughter’s affairs, felt a bit of guilt as Crash was escorted to the police station, but Carter assured her it was unwarranted. More shockingly, she revealed that she knew Elizabeth would follow her, and that it was her plan to ultimately get Crash apprehended.
“When Crash told me he was leaving town, a big part of me just wanted to let him go,” Carter explained. “But I could never do that to Max.”
Elizabeth, who seemed sure Carter was hardwired to jump to Crash’s defense, was moved by her daughter’s change of heart. And when Carter officially referred to Elizabeth as her mother for the very first time, it was clear Carter’s position on life with the Wilsons had changed.
Carter proceeded to make up with Taylor, congratulate David on his new job and mend each of the fences she’d damaged. But is her World Apology Tour sincere, and will the leaf she’s turned over remain that way?
