As the search for their birth mother intensifies, Sutton and Emma discover commonalities between their dreams and encounters throughout their childhood, in “Twinsense and Sensibility,” an all new episode of ABC Family’s original series, THE LYING GAME, premiering Monday, September 5th (9:00 – 10:00 p.m. ET/PT).

After waking up from a terrifying nightmare, Emma learns that Sutton has been suffering from the exact same dream for years. With this discovery, Sutton asks Emma to reminisce on all the memories she has of her childhood with their birth mother, which for Emma is slim to none. It is not until a nighttime rendezvous with Ethan that Emma remembers pieces of her former life, allowing Sutton to locate the house in which Emma shared with their long lost mother, as well as secrets many around them have tried to hide. Will the house and the new information be the missing piece of the puzzle, or are the superstitions true? Can curiosity kill?

Meanwhile, with Ethan facing a lot of trouble, Emma tries to convince Ted that Ethan is innocent. But when she pushes, Emma sees she has hit a nerve with Ted, leading her to believe that he might be hiding something. Although she does not know what, it appears Ted is feeling guilty and knows more than he is willing to share about their birth mother.
