    S3:E1

    Mona returns from a Hawaiian vacation and clears the air with Spencer. They reaffirm their decision to just be friends. While looking through some vacation photos with her family, Mona reveals that she can now ride a horse. She is stunned to learn that Dee Dee still has the horse their father gave her as a child, Daddy's Favorite, and that she has lied for years about having not kept the horse. (The horse led to a major rift between Charles and Phyllis that separated the sisters for a decade.) Mona decides to buy her own horse, but it doesn't quite go as planned. Meanwhile, Adam helps Spencer uncover the cause of Kai's sudden unpleasant attitude toward him.
