We Were Liars – Season 1 Episode 7 'Everybody Knows That The Captain Lied' Recap & Review
Episode 7
Episode 7 of We Were Liars begins in Summer 17. Instead of being happy for our couple, Mirren tries to tell Cady to leave Gat alone. Before Cady can ask why, Bonnie shows up and asks for a horror story. Cady tells her to ask Mirren and she finds it funny. Harris calls Cady away for a visit in town. He accepts that he has made mistakes with his daughters and declares Cady as Sinclair's hope.
In Summer 16, he is drafting his will. Bess sends the little ones to Brody while the rest get ready to sway Harris. Penny baits Cady that if she wants to save the world, she needs Harris' money so she needs to be on her best behaviour.
Carrie is flustered as she reminds Johnny to be good. He tries to come out to her, hinting that he is not Sinclair good. She tells him to put a pin on it till the next day. Will assures Johnny that he is good and he is touched. Mirren notices the tell-tale signs of Bess' adulterous activities and is annoyed. However, Bess compliments her hair.
The Liars miss Gat and smoke up before facing the family. Lunch begins. Harris is glad that Ed and Gat are gone, so it can just be the Sinclairs now. But he gets upset on learning the little ones are with Brody and calls him a criminal. He unwittingly targets Mirren and Bess decides to take the rest down. She mentions Carrie's drug addiction, Johnny's assault and even Penny's divorce.
Angry, Carrie reveals Bess' affair with Dan. To grab back control, Harris forces Penny to have a lemon tart and an upset Cady starts provoking him. She comments that lemons are a sign of colonisation and keeps mentioning Gat. Johnny joins in, mentioning Ed. The sisters judge Carrie for dumping Ed for no reason. Overwhelmed, she lets it slip that she didn't have a choice.
Cady figures out that Harris gave Carrie an ultimatum – the inheritance or Ed. Having had enough, Harris reveals that the will is final and they won't be getting their inheritance. He storms out and Cady goes after him, calling him a racist. He tries to defend himself but he falls and hits his head.
The ambulance helicopter is for him. Penny tells Cady to find the will and burn it if it doesn't favour them. There is only one spot in the helicopter and Penny grabs it.
Annoyed, Bess packs his things. Mirren doesn't understand why she is mean to her sisters. Bess rants that she was the good daughter while her sisters constantly messed up. She did everything her family wanted and never put herself first. Turns out she hates Boston yet she stayed close for Harris' sake after all. But he only notices when she messes up. (Sounds familiar.)
Johnny is upset about Harris' treatment of Ed and wants solace in Carrie but she keeps searching for something. Conceding, he gives her pills back. He knows she has relapsed as it is how she dealt with his abusive father. He wishes she would talk to him and she insists on putting a pin on it till the next day.
With Bess and Carrie leaving for the hospital, the Liars send the staff home and get drunk. Gat finally arrives and they all hug. They have fun as they drink and clean up. Mirren is tired of being a people pleaser like her mom and cuts her hair.
Gat doesn't want to leave Cady. When he lost his dad, he would hide in a nook to get away from reality. He thanks her for saving him. She feels that Beechwood is a nook for her family and he writes down the devil motto on her hand.
Johnny does the Tom Cruise-Risky Business dance and accidentally breaks an illegal ivory statue. Mirren breaks the second one and they laugh. The sisters call to update that Harris is fine. But since he never got himself checked up, his scans show early dementia. They hang up as Harris has run off.
The dishwasher overflows and ruins the expensive rugs. The Liars laugh and reminisce about the good times. The mood dampens as they accept that Harris is racist and their family is a mess. In retaliation, Cady burns Harris' will. We also learn the contents – Bess gets the Boston house and they wonder if Harris knows she hates Boston. Carrie and Penny get a stipend as long as they stay single. And Cady gets the Beechwood Island.
They want to cause more trouble to flout the Sinclair motto of burying their issues. Cady suggests doing something so big that it is difficult to cover up. She looks at Clairmont and declares that it is the source of their problems, built on a foundation of hate.
At the end of We Were Liars Episode 7, Summer 17 Cady realises that they burned down the house. Johnny and Mirren comfort her.
The Episode Review
The show's budget for the music must be wild because if one thing they did right, it is the soundtrack album. It's got a whole lot of Hozier, Khalid, HAIM, Conan Gray and alt-J among others. And we are bringing up the music because this episode's highlight, without a doubt, is Johnny dancing to 'Old Time Rock and Roll'. If you weren't pumped for Zada as young Haymitch in the new Hunger Games prequel, you will be now with the range he shows as Johnny.
Hozier's 'Eat Your Young' is a nice touch when the Liars make a mess of Clairmont. But it is a little disappointing given that this poignant anti-capitalist song is used for such a shallow and performative storyline. Despite burning the will and the house and ruining expensive carpets, the Liars don't actually change anything.
Clairmont stands even uglier and stronger. Harris can just rewrite his old will. The sisters will continue to bicker. And the only one who will most likely get in trouble is Gat. Just like he pointed out how the ethnic help was often fired for the kids' mistakes. We had hoped the racist and classist storyline would head somewhere different from the books. But by being a faithful adaptation, the book's weakness becomes the show's weakness.

Vikings' Justin Jefferson caught playing Fortnite at Pacers-Thunder game after Stephen A's solitaire uproar
Minnesota Vikings star Justin Jefferson didn't let front-row seats at the NBA Finals stop him from gaming on Thursday night in Indianapolis. A viral clip from the Indiana Pacers' Game 6 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder shows Jefferson playing ' Fortnite ' on his mobile device as a seatmate thumbs around on his phone. Many fans were outraged to see two people squandering courtside seats along the baseline, which were valued at around $50,000 on the resale market. 'Imagine being rich enough where 10 to 50 thousand dollar tickets don't even matter,' one critic wrote in response to the social media clip. Many others offered some version of: 'Just watch the game.' Of course, the clip appears to come from before the opening tip. And while most NBA fans would feel lucky to watch warmups from the baseline, Jefferson is no stranger to that vantagepoint. The former LSU star is a near-fixture at Minnesota Timberwolves games and was regularly seen sitting courtside throughout the playoffs. A clip from the Indiana Pacers' Game 6 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder shows Jefferson (left) playing ' Fortnite ' on his mobile device as a seatmate thumbs around on his phone The viral clip does serve as another warning for high-profile NBA playoff attendees. Just last week, ESPN's Stephen A. Smith was caught playing solitaire during Game 4 of the Finals. A clip of the distracted sports media personality subsequently went viral, leading Smith to offer a defense online. 'Yep! That's me,' Smith wrote. 'Who would've thought….I can multi-task. Especially during TIMEOUTS! Hope y'all are enjoying the NBA Finals. This is going 7 games now, peeps!' Smith was right about this series going seven games. Oklahoma City entered Thursday with a chance to eliminate Indiana on the Pacers' homecourt, but instead fell 108-91. Now the Thunder will have homecourt advantage for the 2024-25 season finale on Sunday night. Once again, the Pacers bench outshined the Thunder's, as power forward Obi Toppin had a team-high 20 points. Meanwhile, Oklahoma City sixth man Alex Caruso had a -33 plus-minus rating for the game as he failed to score. Jefferson and his Vikings teammates are now done with organized team activities (OTAs) and minicamp. They'll return to the team facility in Eagan, Minnesota when training camp begins on July 26.

Kristin Cavallari reveals which ex was best in bed and takes dig at Jay Cutler over money
Kristin Cavallari confessed which of her exes she'd rather spend the rest of her life with, because of 'great sex' on E! 's Honestly Cavallari: The Headline Tour. The 38-year-old reality star has said in the past that action star Jason Statham was her 'hottest hookup,' with a string of famous boyfriends like Matt Leinart, Nick Zano, Morgan Wallen and of course her marriage to NFL quarterback Jay Cutler. She also admitted on a recent episode that she 'dry humped' actor Glen Powell though she refused to divulge any other details. This week's episode of Honestly Cavallari took her four-city tour to Boston, where she spoke for fans at The Wilbur. She also welcomed surprise guest Camille Kostek, Sports Illustrated swimsuit model and the longtime girlfriend of NFL great Rob Gronkowski. Towards the end of the Boston show, Cavallari opened it up to fan questions, where she revealed a rather shocking sex confession, and debunked rumors her ex Jay Cutler funded her Uncommon James brand. She was asked by a fan, 'If you had to spend the rest of your life with one of your exes, who would it be?' The question stunned the rest of the audience, and Cavallari herself, though she revealed it would be her latest ex - 24-year-old Mark Estes, who she dated for seven months before they split in September 2024. 'I would settle with Mark, because I can have really good sex for the rest of my life and be happy,' she said. While Estes didn't appear on the tour, he did appear on a November 2024 episode of her Let's Be Honest podcast, where he admitted she gave him the 'best sex' he's ever had. She added, 'I actually didn't know that. You've never said that to me. We've talked about how great our sex is.' The reality star added, 'I think sex for women just gets better as you get older. Women, when you're in your early 20s, you're insecure in a lot of ways.' 'You're worried about your body or what you look like, where I've let all of that go, and I think I'm more present physically during sex than I've ever been,' she said. She also clarified rumors that her ex-husband Jay Cutler financed her Uncommon James retail brand, insisting she never got anything from him in the divorce. While Estes (above right) didn't appear on the tour, he did appear on a November 2024 episode of her Let's Be Honest podcast, where he admitted she gave him the 'best sex' he's ever had. 'Our revenue is close to $50 million a year, but because I was obviously a WAG, athletes' wives and girlfriends, if you're not familiar, people love to say that everything I have in my life is because of my ex-husband and that my ex-husband funded Uncommon James,' she began. 'But I am, to this day, 100% owner, and I've never taken any outside funding,' she clarified, adding, 'I have never gotten a penny from my ex-husband. I didn't get any money from our divorce. So, let's just clear that up.' She also hinted that she was potentially dating two different athletes, one of whom has since been confirmed as former NHL player Nate Thompson, though the other is a baseball player. She revealed during a conversation with sons Camden, 12, and Jaxson, 10, that she might go to Scottsdale, Arizona after her tour, to see, 'That guy.' Camden asks, 'The hockey guy?' She says, 'No, he's a baseball player,' clarifying he's 30 years of age. The podcast tour wrapped on March 13 in New York City, which meant she might have gone to visit the mystery man during MLB spring training. Scottsdale, Arizona is the spring training home to three teams in the Cactus League - the San Francisco Giants, the Colorado Rockies and the Arizona Diamondbacks.
