Games Untold

In the past, Nash comforts Libby after she’s attacked by another man. While studying his worried face, Libby wonders if he could love her.

Libby and Nash talk about her sister Avery on their way to Hawthorne House. Avery has a habit of getting into trouble, but Libby tells Nash not to worry about her. The couple arrives at the estate, where they play pool in the billiards room. Nash bets on the game, promising to stop showing off and to buy Libby a cowboy hat if he wins.

Libby and Nash take Nash’s private jet to Costa Rica. On the way, Libby reflects on her circumstances. Things have changed for her and Avery recently and she’s still adjusting to her new life. She recently dyed her blue hair brown and stopped wearing her black nail polish and skull and sparkle accessories. Nash notices the change and tells her he misses the old her. She insists she’s still herself. Finally, they arrive at Cartago.

Libby and Nash look for the “Cartago house,” one of Tobias’s many vacation homes. Libby can’t help wondering who she is in the Hawthorne world. While she grew up with Avery and inherited some of Tobias’s fortune, she doesn’t feel like part of the family. However, she does love Nash. Then they run into Nash’s biological father, Jake Nash.

Libby and Nash go out for drinks after their encounter with Jake. Jake gave Nash a glass vial filled with purple powder that Tobias told him to give any Hawthorne who came to the island. Over drinks, Libby reassures Nash, who is depressed because Jake hasn’t been a part of his life these past 20 years. He opens up about his difficult childhood. Tobias raised him, Grayson, Jameson, and Xander as his sons, but Nash was the most resistant to their upbringing. 

He and Libby make a toast to being better than Tobias. Libby changes the subject to her childhood, revealing that she used to lie awake asking her Magic 8 Ball questions. Nash pretends to be a Magic 8 Ball and answers Libby’s questions accordingly. One of the questions involves Libby’s hair, which she dyed brown for Avery, wanting to fit into the Hawthorne family for her sister’s sake. Then she asks Nash if Hannah would be proud of her. Hannah was the closest thing to a mom that Libby had.

Nash confronts Libby while she’s making cupcakes, and she immediately knows something is wrong. He reveals that Avery was wounded when a bomb went off on her plane. She wasn’t on the plane but was close enough to get hit and is now in a coma.

Libby and Nash visit Avery at the hospital. She is moved when she sees Nash holding Avery’s hand. When Avery’s adviser Alisa arrives at the hospital, Libby is furious, blaming Alisa for failing to protect Avery. Alisa is also Nash’s ex-fiancé, and Libby can’t help feeling jealous.

Libby and Nash spend the night at Avery’s bedside. Nash suggests that if Libby starts acting like herself again, Avery will wake up.

Nash helps Libby dye her hair. Afterward, Avery wakes up, and Nash gives the sisters time to visit. He later returns with a cowboy hat for Libby.

Over the following weeks, Libby and Nash begin making a life together. She falls more in love with him every day.

Libby tells herself not to worry when Nash doesn’t return home one night. When he finally gets back, he’s covered in blood but carrying a puppy under his shirt. Libby can’t help but forgive him for disappearing, and they name the puppy Trouble.

While wearing a cowboy hat, Libby paints Nash’s nails black. Then they have sex.

Libby wakes up next to Nash, feeling safe. Her nightmares have stopped since they got together. The couple gets up, and Nash makes breakfast before proposing to Libby. She accepts.

Now, Nash returns home to find Libby crying. He comforts her, and they look at the pregnancy test together. They decide if it’s a girl, they’ll name her Hannah.

Two-year-old Xander plays with Jameson and Grayson. They chase each other around the yard and Xander tackles his brother. Tobias emerges and scolds them for being silly. Afterward, the boys resume their game, and Nash joins in.

Eleven-year-old Xander plays cards with his brothers. When Xander wins, he lunges at Grayson, tackling him with love.

Fifteen-year-old Xander hangs out with his best friend Rebecca. He notices her odd demeanor and asks if she’s met a girl she likes. Rebecca dodges the question, but Xander knows she’s lying. While they’re playing, Xander thinks about Rebecca’s life. Her sister Emily has a heart condition, and Xander knows Rebecca often sacrifices her relationships to help Emily. During the game, Emily’s best friend Thea shows up. To divert her attention from Rebecca, Xander suggests they pretend the floor is lava and tackles Thea.

Xander steals Nash’s motorcycle. Rebecca and his brothers give Xander a hard time for his antics. Things have been hard for all of them, and Xander wants to have fun. He tackles Jameson and teases him.

Xander finds Nash hiding behind the house and tries to engage him in a game to distract him from his bad mood. Nash recently broke up with Alisa and has been distant ever since. Xander tackles Nash.

Xander hangs out with his crush Max Liu. He invites her to see his room, and they make a blanket fort together. While playing in the fort, Max tackles Xander and agrees to be his girlfriend.

The Hawthorne brothers stage an Atonement Night to punish Grayson for failing to answer Xander’s recent 911 call. Per the brothers’ signed agreement, they have to participate in the atonement if they skirt their fraternal duties.

For Grayson’s atonement, the brothers make him stand out in the snow in his underwear. When Thea arrives, he has to ask her for a ride using a silly phrase, then let her give him a makeover. Afterward, Avery dresses him in a ridiculous outfit, and the girls take him to a karaoke bar, where he meets his brothers and has to sing in front of everyone. Grayson completes the atonement night requirements. He goes to bed, telling himself he’ll never ignore his brothers’ summons again.
