A group of teens go missing when partying on a party bus. One of them, Max (Danny Flaherty) seems to be an outsider and is found outside the bus covered in bruises. The other five are nowhere to be seen. Lindy (Victoria Justice) looks at the bracelet which reads, 'we will find her.' She's come in to see Tommy (Casey Deidrick) but Catherine (Melanie Nicholls-King) thinks Lindy could help them out by looking at their social media pages, since Lindy volunteered to do so. The pages show their timeline and what they did on the bus, as well as texts between Max and Amy (Taylor Rose). Max is found and brought in for questioning but he refuses to speak. Lindy thinks she can speak with him cos she's not 'one of them'. Also giving him back his phone. She tells him to try a sling shot: one third cola and two thirds coffee. She's only helping them out with their cyber units and tells him about her missing sister. He's an only child so it doesn't look like his parents will miss him. Catherine wants Tommy to work with Lindy and he has a few ground rules, like he's the cop and she has to listen to the cop, cos the cop is always right.
She plants spyware in his phone and when Tommy questions him again, after Amy's DB is found, he thinks they're accusing him as Lindy insists he should know. He walks out saying she is one of them. As for the spyware Tommy says she can't do that but Catherine says what they don't see, they don't know. He's protective of her and only wants to make sure she does the right thing. There's a Go-Pro camera attached to Amy's wrist and Lindy notices it was on the bus, so the driver, Jarek (Pasha Pellosie) was recording them and uploading the images.
They find everything that they did on the bus, which was filmed by Max as well and they saw him as an outsider and nothing but a loser. They visit a psychic who's brought onto the bus and she tells them things about themselves, which Amy paid her to do. Also warning her to stay away from the water. She tells Tommy that she's paid to say things sometimes, but other times she's not, but he won't believe her. The card inside the camera is wet, but manages to dry it out and retrieve a video from it. They also learn of The Stowaway, an urban legend and Lindy mentions how the story's been on the Internet. The video footage shows them on a boat and Amy being afraid as she's being stalked. She then falls into the water.
They think Jarek's involved cos he's vanished and they manage to track him down. He says he was attacked by the Stowaway and then they find a file's been uploaded to his computer.
Amy paid the psychic but she and Max made up the whole story of the Stowaway to fool their friends.
On the ship Max pretended to be the Stowaway and she pretended to be chased by him and fearing for her life. They locate the ship and rescue the four teens. Each one of them tells how Max is just someone they didn't talk to, but borrowed a pen from, or that he's a loser and a nobody. Lindy tells Max it wasn't his fault that Amy died, it was an accident, she tripped and fell overboard at night. He's to blame cos he came up with the idea. He locks himself in the boiler room and turns on the gas. Tommy takes the map from the wall and they find the room, but he refuses to come out and wants to end it all. Lindy plays a message from Amy saying how she loves him and Tommy tells him if he kills himself he'll lose Amy's memory forever and no one will remember her. Infact Lindy MacGyvers' the wires from the speaker in the ship to that of her phone, so he can hear Amy's voice. Okay you know me by now, I had to get that 'MacGyverism' in! Ha.
Lindy was worried about Tony, cos it's obvious there's a spark there (no pun re the explosion on the ship! ha). That was obvious since ep 1 he had feelings for her.
The psychic tells Tommy that he has feelings for her and should tell her, but he doesn't want to cos he probably thinks he'll betray Ben's memory. He asks the psychic about Sarah when he shows her photo to her and all she can say is that she's alive. Lindy is also called by Jake but doesn't take his call, she doesn't know if she wants to see him again. Yeah she gets him arrested and then ignores him afterwards.
Think this was the weakest ep so far as it just explores general teen themes, you know partying, acting out, their angst and issues with each other and not accepting those they don't see as being perfect or popular, pretty much like the virtual serial killer. Then it also shows how wrong they can be with Max and Amy spending six weeks together in rehab. She was there for weight loss problems and he was there for depression and attempted suicide, but they got close, so he wouldn't kill her. Lindy also saying her parents sent Sarah to a clinic for six weeks. I actually prefer watching the killer at least those eps are more interesting than watching teens acting out thinking they're better than everyone else.
The title meaning: you only live once.
