Suddenly, Noah gets a text, “Enjoy your empanadas.” Noah checks outside for Matt but sees nothing. Another text comes in, which makes it apparent that Clark doesn’t actually know where they are. He just wants to terrorize them. Noah swerves back to Nick. Sienna’s clearly reluctant to speak her mind.
Finally, Sienna admits she thinks his dad might have a problem with painkillers. Noah concedes that he did seem to be hitting them pretty hard. Is she saying he’s addicted?

Noah asks if Sienna has a history with addiction. She doesn’t, but her brother died of an overdose. She sees the same signs in Nick and it gives her chills. Tearing up, Sienna wishes someone had warned her about him sooner. Still in denial, Noah’s sure this isn’t the case with Nick. “Dad’s got this covered.”
