Daniel is jumped in the prison shower and severely beaten by several men.
On Riker's the following day Emily and Victioria are told that Daniel sustained a concussion and a number of broken bones. Victoria immediately reminds everyone that the judge had promising to revisit Daniel's incarceration if he was in danger. Brooks says the judge is looking at house arrest and Daniel could be home the next day.
Treadwell stops by Jack's bar and tells him about the eyewitnesses placing him on the beach. Treadwell wonders if "Amanda" put him up to it and Jack throws the smarmy weasel out. Declan follows Treadwell from of the bar and tells him Jack is being set-up, adding that Charlie was on painkillers the night of the murder and doesn't remember anything.

She says it was "Amanda" and he threatens to "burn you at the stake" if she brings Amanda Clarke into the case.
Wearing a brown wig, Emily picks up Lee in the same bar she'd followed Victoria to the night she arranged for her son's beating. She surreptitiously records their conversation while going shot-for shot of booze with Lee.
Victoria tells Daniel "all this will be over soon." She brings up the idea that Emily was the one who finished the job, asking how he knows that Emily wasn't there. He says that if she tries to bring Emily into his defense as an alternative killer, he'll confess to everything.
Emily suggests she and the guy leave the bar together as Daniel is trying to reach her on the phone.
Online Victoria reads about her artist, Dominik Wright, whose career fell apart over drug and forgery charges. He calls her, asking if they'll ever see each other again. When Conrad enters the room she hangs up on him. Conrad tells her she needs to be discreet with any affairs. She accuses him of directing Treadwell to the tapes. He calls her delusional.

We see that Roger gave Amanda a piece of paper when he bumped into her. She reads it while watching Roger and Frank through the window. Amanda goes to his rooms and finds him in a bathtub full of blood.
Later in the night we see that Roger is dead and Victoria seems well-aware Frank may have had something to do with the "suicide." Victoria finds out that Treadwell was the one who wrote the note. He did it on purpose to stir the pot.
A sobbing Amanda calls Nolan and tells him about Roger. He warns her she'll never be able to bring the Graysons down. She yells "the hell I won't!"
We hear Roger's note. He said he'd help her, but warned her to stay away from the Graysons.

Victoria tells Lydia about the fact Conrad is holding on the forgeries from Dominik Wright. She takes a letter opener and slashes one of them.
Emily tells she wants a private wedding. Daniel is irritated that Emily is paying more attention to her cell' 'phone (updates from Nolan) than Ashley's wedding plans for them.
At the meeting Conrad tells the white-haired man that he has evidence that will burn him if he ever threatens to harm his son again. The white-haired man stands up and walks out.
Daniel is furious that Emily keeps checking her 'phone. This leads to an argument about the Graysons. Even Ashley is pissed at Emily.
Declan and Jamie help Jack look for his dog Sammy, who is missing.
Nolan texts Emily the address where the white-haired man is located.

The white haired man threatens to hurt Nolan and she tells him where the evidence is located. The key is on her keychain and she says there is an E-mail programmed to expose him in exactly one hour.
The white haired man leaves to check on the evidence. Emily quickly retrieves a thin piece of metal from the weave of her sweater, picks the lock on her cuffs and lets Nolan free. She is going to stay, while his job is to deliver information to the Feds.
Charlotte is strangely nice to Declan and Jamie. She tells him "I'm happy for you."
Jack shows up at Grayson Global and gives Daniel his check back. After he leaves Ashley hints that she knows something about Jack and Emily, and it looks like she's going to share it.
Charlotte comes home and looks up the number of an investigator. Identifying herself as Victoria, she has the man look into Jamie.
Conrad gives Lydia a ring, calling it a "promise." She accepts.
Nolan plants the evidence in the trunk of SEC investigator McCelan's car.
The white-haired man returns to find Emily sitting in a chair armed with an axe. They fight and eventually Emily gets the upper hand, sitting on top of the man with the axe on his windpipe.
Just as she is about to choke him to death she flashes back to setting the bird free with her father. David told her his favorite thing about her is the way she loves. She lets the white haired man live.
Victoria tells her SEC agent buddy that she can't take credit for the evidence finding its way to him. He tells her that Lydia has recanted her testimony. Victoria is confident she can work on her. The agent then drops the bombshell that Conrad contracted to have David killed.
Emily comes home to a very angry Daniel. He asks her if she kissed Jack and she admits it. She tells him the truth is that "I'm not the person you fell in love with." She points out that he's becoming what he never wanted to be, "a Grayson" and gives back the ring. She apologizes and he leaves.
The white-haired man tells Conrad that he had nothing to do with the evidence finding its way to the SEC. While Emily watches, he tells Conrad he's on his way to the airport and suggests he might want to do the same.
Daniel tells Victoria that he broke things off with Emily. He tells Victoria he didn't turn over the evidence and wants her not to testify. She tells him about Conrad having David murdered. Daniel responds that both of them have done terrible things, but at least Conrad's were in the best interest of the family. She thinks she is finally righting a terrible wrong and "nobody will stand in my way."
Victoria calls Lydia and suggests she rethink aligning herself with Conrad and promises she'll be coming for her after she's done with her husband. Conrad walks into the room and Lydia tells him her father had a heart attack and she needs to go home. He offers to give her a ride or use of his plane, but she declines. He says he understands perfectly and gives her a kiss.
Nolan mentions to Emily that it seems all that is left is Jack. She says she plans to tell him "everything." Emily gives Jack a call and says she'd like to stop by that night. Nolan and Emily toast her father.
Evidence is mailed to everybody in school that Jamie had a relationship with a teacher at her old school. Declan confronts Charlotte, telling her she's just like Victoria, and that he never wants to speak with her again.
Victoria drops by to see Emily and says perhaps now the two of them can move on. When Emily suggests Victoria take back her engagement gift, Victoria tells her to open it. The box was empty and Victoria says she knew that Emily's future with Daniel was as empty as the box.
Emily gives Sam's collar to Jack, prepared to tell him everything. But out of the other room walks Amanda, who is pregnant. She gives a stunned Emily a hug, then says "Jack and I are going to have a baby." Emily says congratulations and leaves quickly. Outside the bar she tries to fight back tears.
Daniel has Ashley over for a drink. She wonder if she made a mistake telling him about observing Emily and Jack, but Daniel is happy he knew the truth sooner rather than later.
Before Victoria leaves for Washington, Charlotte asks her mother if getting retribution ever made her feel better. Victoria said it does when the party deserved it and tells Charlotte to forgive herself and move on.
Conrad bursts through the door and tries to convince Victoria not to testify because of what will happen to their children. When she brings up David's death, he says that order came from far above him. He promises her that if she boards the plane "it will be the last thing you do." She says "I'll see you in Hell."
Emily tells Nolan about Amanda's pregnancy. He says he's coming over and makes her promise not to do anything "revengey" until he gets there.
Victoria boards the plane. Beneath the jetliner a worker removes the chock from one of the landing gear, and as he leaves, he removes his watch cap. It is the white haired man.
We see Conrad place a picture of Victoria and Lydia in the fire.
Charlotte watches a news report with word that her mother was killed in a plane crash. She calls Declan, who hangs up on her without listening to why she's calling.
Conrad rushes in to find Charotte unconscious with an empty pill vial beside her on her bed, appearing to have OD'd.
Nolan arrives to find Emily beside herself that the evidence that could have exonerated her father was on the plane that just exploded. He tells her that he backed-up and unencrypted the hard drive before turning it over to the SEC. It turns out that after the Graysons framed David, the Initiative handled the cover-up. It goes much deeper than that Graysons. We see video of Victoria references there being "more to the story" of David's wife when they met. Emily's mother isn't dead after all. The video is paused on Victoria's face. Emily says "Let it play" as the season comes to an end.

A scuba diver is searching the hull of the sunken sailing craft Amanda, which he reports "wasn't an accident." He finds a gold compass, then a body.
Oshima Island, Japan, three months earlier:
Emily is going through some kind of training ritual in the ocean as her martial arts mentor Satoshi Takeda (now played by Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa) and another man, an Occidental, look on. She is tied to a pier piling as the water level rises and the men talk about her fear being a problem.
Ashley comes to comfort Daniel, who is staring at a painting of Victoria, saying it will be tough to get used to her not being there.
Jack and Declan on the Amanda, with Jack looking at the small gold compass. A very pregnant Amanda comes down the lower level of the boat. Jack's not doing very well emotionally and Amanda is concerned.
Daniel's sister Charlotte/"Charlie" is preparing to be released from a sober living facility. She's missed Victoria's funeral and is excited about attending her mother's memorial.
The tide has risen during Emily's training and she's now under water. She flashes back to childhood and playing a game with what seems to be her mother. She then recalls her mother being sick. She's cut loose from the pier and brought to shore. She's furious that she was cut loose so close to unlocking information about her mother, but Takeda seems upset that was the reason she came to see him. Emily assures him she's going to find out what happened to her mother.
Emily pays Nolan a visit at his gym. He asks where she's been for weeks and she says "regrouping." She says her priorities have shifted and she's headed back to the Hamptons. Nolan's sold his house and asks if he can stay with her. She turns him down. Based on her new memory, she looks up Angel of Mercy hospital. The hospital was bought and closed two days after her father was arrested.
Jack's bar has failed inspection due to water damage and has been closed by the Health Department.
Ashley is organizing the auction. Conrad tells Daniel he'll open up his trust fund on the condition he invest all of it (along with his inheritance) back in the family company. Daniel says that what happened to Victoria is on both of them, but Conrad doesn't care about anything but money. Daniel tell him he needs to think about it.
Emily and Nolan break into the shuttered Angel of Mercy. She sends Nolan to the records room. She continues looking through the building and starts having more flashbacks. She remembers being taken forcibly from her ill mother. She finds the room where it happened and finds restraints on the bed. Nolan finds that a week before her father's arrest someone named Charlotte Clarke was on the visitor log. Emily thinks it must have been Victoria. Emily wonders what Victoria may have been trying to do to her mother. She looks back at footage of Victoria talking to Conrad and the white-haired man about her mother being a "liability." Nolan wonders whether Victoria could have had her mother declared insane. Emily says she needs to get close to the Graysons again. She tells Nolan he can stay with her temporarily.
Nolan goes to see Jack, and they greet one another warmly. He mentions to Jack that Emily is back in town. He see that Amanda is very pregnant.
Emily goes to see Charlie, who invites her to the memorial.
Emily tells Amanda she's "on a different path now." Amanda says she isn't going anywhere. Jack comes in the room and Emily says Amanda asked her to be the baby's godmother.
The Occidental from the Japanese training session ask Takeda for the chance to "guide her back." Takeda says if he fails the mission is over "for both of you."
At Victoria's memorial Daniel stares at the arriving Emily, flashing back to proposing. Conrad approaches him and Daniel tells him his money is remaining in a trust. He's not going to sink with the company.
Ashley and Emily exchange pleasantries. Daniel walks up and Emily tells him she's sorry for his loss. Emily walks away awkwardly when she sees the two of them are together as a couple.
Amanda asks Jack what's wrong with them, saying the baby will need stability. He tells her he's moving back in and leaving the boat. Jack asks Declan if he'd move onto the boat, but that doesn't go well. Declan thinks Jack should tell Amanda he's not in love with her.
Charlie tells Conrad she wants to sell the beach house. She okay with being bought out by Daniel if he's unwilling to sell.
Charlie isn't thrilled that Ashley is giving the tribute at the memorial and asks to say a few words. She takes the mic and says her mother was a woman "of many contradictions and secrets," but says it took losing her to realize how much she loved her. The counselor, Aiden Mathis (Barry Sloane), from the rehab facility gets word that Charlie's blood work came back positive. Charlie is furious, convinced that Conrad is behind this. She begins to make a scene, then rushes to Emily and whispers something into her ear.
Victoria opens her door to find Emily and demands "What in the hell are you doing here?" Charlie told Emily where to find Victoria, and tells her what happened with Charlie going back to rehab. Victoria places a call to a phone Charlie had hidden in her room, but hangs up when Mathis answers. Victoria thinks Conrad is trying to get his hands on Charlie's inheritance. Victoria says the government is keeping her safe while they build a case against Conrad.
Mathis thinks the phone must be her way of contacting her drug dealer and takes it away.
Mathis calls Conrad. It's clear he's been bribed to fake the positive drug test in order to help Conrad gain power of attorney.
Emily tells Nolan she wants to get a camera inside Victoria's place and wants him to do a deep background check on Mathis.
Jack drops by to see Emily. She cautions him that Amanda could be trouble and asks him whether he's sure the baby is his.
Emily tells Victoria that Charlie's rehab counsellor has been sued for malpractice and practiced under several names. She's also able to plant the disguised surveillance camera.
Jack asks Amanda where she went the previous summer when she left. She realizes he's asking whether the baby is his and she says she'll make an appointment for a pre-natal paternity test.
Ashley tries to assure Daniel his father couldn't have done what Charlie accused him of, but he's preoccupied.
Emily and Nolan watch the hidden camera and see her meet with the white-haired man. Victoria doesn't trust Emily and instructs him to "eliminate the liability."

Emily was dreaming while watching the hidden camera in Victoria's home. Emily tells Nolan Victoria was lying about working with the government.
Ashley finds Daniel doing some work. He's concerned that Conrad has been cooking the books, making the company look more successful than it really is. Emily calls Daniel and tells him Charlie says she was scared of her doctor. Emily says Dr. Thomas has a history of keeping patients longer than necessary and wonders if perhaps he fixed the test. Aiden Mathis (Barry Sloane), from Takeda's training school is watching her through a riflescope.
Dr. Thomas asks Charlie a series of questions to assess her mental state. He asks if she believes other people are plotting against her.

Amanda thinks Emily is the reason Jack asked her for a paternity test. She admits to having a one-night stand, but says she thinks the baby is Jack's. Emily says she needs a favor.
Conrad makes what appears to be the final arrangement to take control of Charlie's inheritance. Ashley tells Conrad about Daniel being concerned about the numbers. Conrad tells her she needs to keep him away from an investor's meeting that day.
Daniel confronts Thomas and demands he retract his statement to a judge about Charlie's mental state. It's too late for that, but Daniel tells Charlie he'll help her get back her inheritance. She doesn't want his help and asks Emily to take her to Victoria.
Jack tells Declan he and Amanda took a paternity test. Jack seems unsure whether he'll stay around if the baby isn't his.

One of Nolan's employees, Padma (Dilshad Vadsaria), shows up at his place, still pushing for him to hire a CFO.
Conrad meets with investors. Daniel bursts into the room and Conrad leaves to calm him down. Out in hall he yells at his father for taking Charlie's money. Conrad says "it's done," but Daniel assures him that "it's far from over." Victoria calls Conrad and tells him if he doesn't do she tells him she'll haunt him til his last days.
Conrad comes to see Victoria. She tells him to hit her.
Nolan doesn't like the idea of giving up control. Padma tries to assure he'd gain control of somebody else who can help him. Nolan decides he'd like her to be the CFO.
Jack shows Amanda he has the unopened test results. She opens it and smiles. The baby is Jack's. Emily calls Amanda, who asks her whether or not the baby is actually Jack's. Emily's says no.
Charlie is moving to Emily's place. Daniel has opened up a new trust for Charlie and transferred all of his own inheritance into the fund. He tells her he made a promise to Victoria to be nice to her and wants to live up to it. Charlie looks like she's about to tell him Victoria's still alive, but gets distracted when Ashley walks into the room.
The white-haired man comes to Victoria's place, finding her beaten and cuffed to a radiator. He tells him to start running and we hear sirens in the background. He flees.

Amanda then tells Nate she's in the Hamptons to get payback for what the Graysons did to her father. She tells Nate the computer is in Montauk. During this conversation Jack is down below and finds Declan's laptop. At this moment Nolan sees that Declan's laptop just came back on line and he's able to hack the webcam. He and Emily see that for the moment Jack is okay. They see the boat's location and head for the signal. Victoria invites Charlie to the house for their Labor Day party. Charlie initially passes, but Victoria eventually talks her into it. Victoria walks in another room and plants something underneath a bed. Aiden tells Padma he can get her out of this situation, but first they need to make sure her father is still alive. That consists of calling Helen. Jack asks Amanda if she's been using him the entire time. He then tells Nate that he saw her bring a laptop on board the night before. Nate goes down below and starts looking. During this time Jack and Amanda start preparing an inflatable raft. Amanda manages to trap him down below after he opens Declan's computer. While Nolan and Emily watch Nate tries to shoot his way out, hitting Jack in the process. Amanda sends Jack off on the boat and fights Nate, allowing Jack to float away. Amanda wakes up down below.

Ellen is convinced the Graysons are behind everything that's happened and promises Nolan she's going to make them pay. Conrad and Victoria meet with Trask. Conrad blame Nate for what happened. Trask wonders if the computer will be salvaged and thinks it seems the Graysons' problems have resolved themselves at little too neatly. They realize the only person alive who can refute their version of things is Jack. Trask call Daniel at work. He's sent him a purchase request for their account. Aiden pays Daniel a visit and wonders if he can take Conrad's seat on the Board of Directors. At Jack's place Trask introduces himself to Emily as a police officer of some kind. He asks about Amanda. Trask gets a call that the Coast Guard has identified the another victim and Amanda's sister is on her way to ID the body. Ashley asks Conrad if he killed Amanda. He points out that she had a hand in much of what happened with the Ryans. Nolan tells Padma he's not going to hand over his program until they have proof her father is alive. He plans to look into Helen's phone records. Nolan tells Emily he's now convinced the Graysons killed Helen and were framing Amanda to deflect the Initiative's attention. Emily finds Victoria in the coroner's department waiting area. Charlie went in to ID the body herself. An emotional Charlie comes out and throws herself into Victoria's arms. Daniel drops by Nolan's office unannounced. He reminds him that he never got the R&D report on Carrion and threatens him with lawsuits if it turns out the program wasn't destroyed. Charlie talks to Victoria about seeing Amanda's body. She can't find anyone to invite to her service, having been stonewalled by the juvenile records. After Victoria leaves Charlie starts doing some online research. She finds Amanda's name related to a fire and starts searching the names of the people who were in the home with her. Emily still can't find Amanda's computer. It hasn't pinged Nolan, which makes him think the Graysons don't have it either. He tells her about Daniel's threat. Emily's upset that Victoria's using Amanda's death closer to Charlie. Jack has woken up. Emily and Declan rush to his side and he asks about Amanda. They tell him that Amanda is dead. Conrad arrives at this moment and Jack says he wants to speak with him "alone." Conrad has offered to pay Jack's hospital bill. Conrad apologizes for not realizing that Nate was using him. Jack says he doesn't know how he can ever repay Conrad. Jack wants to get out of bed and finish what Amanda started with regards to the Graysons framing her father. He tells Emily and Nolan he doesn't know where the computer is located. Daniel has realized that Grayson Global profited from the crash of David Clarke's plane. He tells her about interacting with Trask and Aiden. She thinks Daniel should give Aiden the Initiative's accounts to see how he handles them. Jack has relocated to his home. They still can't find Amanda's computer. He asks Emily to give Amanda's eulogy. He's upset that Amanda didn't tell him the truth about everything but she convinces him her love was real.

After Emily leaves Charlie gets an IM from an Eli James, who wonders if she's still looking for Amanda Clarke's foster brother. He writes "you've found him." Jack opens a locker down at the marina. Inside he finds a duffle bag. Conrad holds a press conference near Jack's bar. With Conrad speaking in the background Jack opens the bag and finds a computer. Nolan tells Emily that someone at Jack's bar has turned on the computer. Jack joins Conrad at the podium, smiling and shaking his hand. Jack has figured out that Emily and Amanda were actually as close as sisters. He's upset she kept so much from him. Nolan tells Padma he spent all night working on Carrion. The fingerprint matched her father's immigration file and hands her a flash drive and reminds her that the Initiative has a record of not keeping promises. Emily delivers the eulogy. During the service we see Aiden break into an office. After the service Jack thanks Conrad for being there and asks him if they can meet to find a way to remember Amanda. Emily tells Nolan she's thinking about telling Jack the truth. Nolan thinks she should wait. Jack asks Nolan to help him with some "computer problems." Conrad assures Trask over the phone that "the boy knows nothing." Victoria tells Emily it's a blessing David didn't leave to see his daughter die. Jack comes home to find his apartment has been ransacked. He tells Nolan "Grayson." But we see that it was Aiden who broke in and got the computer.

Daniel doesn't like his parents' plan of ruining yet another life. Jack is setting up a life insurance policy for himself. Jack is trying to figure out what happened that night. Declan tells Jack Nolan told him about being checked into the hotel in Nantucket. Victoria calls Jack and tells him about the charity, the goal being to help children. They are going to call it the Amanda Clark Foundation. Emily offers Victoria her services as co-chair for the foundation, along with donating $250,000. Victoria says she'll think about it. Eli arrives at the Grayson home and speaks with both Victoria and Emily. He notices a tattoo on Emily's wrist. Victoria invites him to the inaugural benefit for Amanda. Eli says he'll be staying for a while. Emily tells Nolan she doesn't buy Eli's story of being in London the previous week as a rare books dealer. She calls him a wildcard and Nolan says he'll look into him. Daniel is feeling guilty about Amanda. He reminds Conrad that he created a fund just about the plane crash. Conrad reminds him that they do what they do for the family, not just themselves. Aiden walks into the office and Conrad offers his blessing for Aiden being appointed to the board. Emily stops by Jack's bar and finds Eli sitting there having a drink. She asks Jack for another chance and he asks what Amanda thought of her father when they were in juve together. Eli just told him Amanda hated her father and doesn't understand why she would risk everything to clear his name. Jack walks away and Eli reveals that he knows based on Emily's tattoo that she's really Amanda. Emily and Eli leave the bar and talk. He says he spent years trying to find her and asks what's going on. She tells him about trading her name. She tells him she can't have him staying there and he reminds her about protecting her when they were kids. He admits the Columbia degree and job in rare books is a lie to trick the Graysons, and says he has warrants in three states. Emily says she has a way to wipe his record clean, provided he leaves. Aiden breaks up a fight between a drunk Daniel and some jerk in the bar. Daniel doesn't think he needs any help. Conrad happens to be in the corner watching the whole thing. Jack finds out that somebody who looked like Nolan chartered a boat the night Amanda was killed. When he returned to the dock he was covered in blood and paid cash in order to buy the boat outright. The night of the fundraiser Victoria hints to Emily that she may have found another candidate for the foundation. Nolan shows Eli that his record has been wiped clean and Emily gives him $100,000 to start a new life. Declan seems a little jealous of Eli, who has been spending quite a bit of time with Charlie. Emily tells Ashley that Eli and Amanda weren't as close as he's claiming. She says the Graysons shouldn't be comfortable being under the same roof. Ashley tells Victoria there is reason to suspect Eli's motives. When Victoria learns Emily was the source of the information she thinks it's another reason to welcome him with open arms. Aiden tells Daniel he knows someone he should talk to. He thinks Emily would be a perfect person to help guide him through this. Daniel is furious with Conrad that he named Aiden treasurer of the Amanda Clarke Foundation. Conrad tells him the foundation will be a front and the goal is to frame Aiden for stealing their money. While Eli speaks with Charlie and Victoria, Emily walks over and brings up the fire Amanda/she set all those years ago. This starts a discussion of how hard Eli and Amanda's lives were. Eli gives Victoria a check for $100,00, saying he'd like to donate it to the charity. Jack walks in and grabs the microphone. He thanks the Graysons for "giving me hope that something good will come from all this." On his way out Jack confronts Nolan about lying to him about saving his life. He's furious Nolan and Emily haven't been honest with him. Victoria announces she's making Eli co-chair of the foundation. Eli tells Emily that he changes his mind once he heard that she ratted him out to Ashley. He knows there's more to the story and is curious. Daniel grabs Emily for a conversation. Nolan follows Jack to his place. He gives him the title to the boat, which is in the name of Kenny Ryan. Nolan wants him to leave the Ryans alone and focus on his family. Daniel tells Emily about his parents' plot with the foundation. The Conrads have raised $5 million for the foundation. Daniel stops by and tells his parents Aiden should be confirmed. He leaves and his parents talk about Daniel speaking with Emily. Emily tells Nolan about how the Grayson are planning to use the foundation. She thinks they can use this information to bankrupt the family. The next morning Emily tells Aiden about the plan with the foundation. She's still trying to figure out what to do with Eli. Daniel introduces Aiden as the replacement for Conrad's seat. Nolan tries to use Carrion to access the Grayson's accounts. It's not working and he tells Emily this reminds him of something. We flash to him telling David Clarke the Gryasons were using a notorious hacker named The Falcon to frame him. David told him not to worry about him and focus on his daughter. He gives Nolan a box with "her future." In present day Nolan tells Emily the person protecting the Graysons' bank account is the one who destroyed her father. "Let's go hunting," Emily says.

Open with a flashback to Emily in the foster home with Eli. As kids they made a promise to "stay together, no matter what." Emily tells Aiden that Eli has been in touch with Ms. Hayward, their criminal foster mother. Emily calls Daniel looking for a meeting. Conrad and Victoria talk about Daniel being too trusting of women, specifically concerned about Emily. Conrad's poling numbers are not impressive. Eli tells Victoria that Emily is going to contribute to the foundation. He then says he think the foundation should contribute to Mrs. Hayward's home. Emily offers to join Eli when he pitches the idea to Hayward. Padma has received word her father isn't dead. She is sent a video of him telling her of a meeting location. Nolan wants to make adjustments to the Carrion flash drive before the meeting and tells her "we're going to need some reinforcements." Eli tells Emily that Hayward kept a bunch of David's letters. He says his goal is to get the Graysons back and punish Hayward. Nolan doesn't think David wrote anything that would have changed anything. He's not thrilled she's leaving town with the Padma thing coming up. Nolan shows Aiden that he's made a flash drive with a tracking device. Aiden wants to shoot people at the meet, but Nolan doesn't like that plan. He thinks the only way to save her is to send her into hiding after the meet.

She wants to announce the partnership between the foundation and Amanda's foster mother at the Stowaway. Declan managers to snag Trey's cell phone and find a number for Kenny. Nolan tells Padma about her and her father being given new identities and moving to a secret location. He tells her it's the only way to ensure the Initiative never finds them, but she hates the idea of never seen him again. He assures her their story won't end like this. Emily and Eli arrive at Hayward's. She tells them Amanda "was very special to me." She needs money or she'll lose her home. Emily asks about personal items related to Amanda, but Hayward says it was all lost in the fire. We see Eli and Haywood talk about taking the Graysons for as much money as possible and there appears to be a split of the money. Emily goes downstairs and finds a hidden coal bin. It's where Hayward would send her as punishment. Hayward visits the Grayson's home. She tells Victoria she's forgiven Amanda for the fire. Victoria tells Hayward that she plans to settle her mortgage, then donate $250,000 annually to keep the home open. Declan has been texting Kenny from Trey's cell phone and arranged a meeting in a half hour. Conrad and Ashley show up for the press conference and ask Jack to help with the campaign. He says he'll think about it. Daniel and Emily have lunch. He tells her that Aiden has been chosen to take the fall. He says he'll make sure she's safe. Emily steps away from the table to take a call from Aiden. The drop with Padma's father has been moved up and Emily won't be able to make it. A vehicle arrives for the meet with Padma. Aiden and Nolan watch from a nearby rooftop. Trask gets out of the car and asks for the hard drive. Once it is authenticated she is thrown into the car and they drive off. Aiden is unable to take a shot. Padma is taken to a remote location where she is placed in front of a camera. Jack arrives to meet a shocked Kenny. He assures Jack that he doesn't own a boat and never rescued him. Kenny thinks Grayson is covering his tracks and his brother was working solo. Kenny admits there is one thing he never told the police. Nate taped all his meeting with Conrad and Kenny has the recordings. Eli takes to the podium at the press conference for Hayward. He says the three years he lived there were the worst of his life and admits that Hayward pocketed the money while withholding food from the children and locking them in the coal bin. Eli then introduces several other foster children who lived with Hayward, all there to tell their story. Hayward challenges him to admit that he let Amanda take the fall for a fire he committed. After the press conference Victoria tells Eli he is no longer welcome in the foundation. Emily then walks up and asks if it's true that he sets the fire. He says it's true, the fire she lit went out and he re-started it. He is trying to make it up to her now. Nolan gets a text referring to Padma, saying it's a terrible thing to "lose one's head." The tracking device has been left behind. The Initiative is now in possession of a dangerous program and has both Padma and her father. Nolan is furious with Nolan. Jack and Declan listen to the conversations between Nate and Conrad. Jack wants to find some proof that money changes hands between Amanda and Conrad. Eli pays Hayward a visit. Emily tries to pump Nolan up, telling him he's the only person who can help Padma. She offers her word that she'll help save Padma when he finds her.

Open with Nolan speaking on the phone with a Detective Durant about Padma. We're six weeks removed from her disappearance and Nolan is constantly badgering him for information. Noland hangs up and Emily walks in. She's worried that he's been obsessing over Padma, who he's convinced is still alive. Emily tells Nolan she has a good idea for how to find Padma. Victoria wants to set Daniel up with a woman named Sloan for her upcoming masquerade ball. Ashley shows Victoria an RSVP postmarked 1973 from "your loving son." Victoria flashes back to being pregnant as a teenager. Aiden tells Emily they need to draw out Trask. His idea involves intentionally mismanaging Trask's account with Daniel's company. Conrad prepares for his Town Hall meeting with help from Jack. Ashley mentions the strange RSVP to Conrad, connecting it to the year his opponent won his first seat. Daniel is upset with Aiden over the risk he took with Trask's account. They turn and see Trask has arrived at the office. Aiden calls Emily and tells her their plan worked. Nolan drops by to see Jack. He tells Nolan he's planning to use the Town Hall meeting to "trip up" Conrad and wants help using the audio he has of Conrad talking about Amanda's murder to Nate Ryan. Emily asks Victoria if she can attend the ball. Victoria says that Daniel has moved on and she should do the same. She does not invite Emily. Trask tells Daniel his move will have repercussions. Daniel makes a threat and Trask says his organization has evolved and is liquidating its assets in Grayson Global. Daniel "takes the win" and Trask leaves. Daniel calls Emily, saying he's avoided her for six weeks to protect her. He invites her to the ball as his date. While Victoria is with Charlotte someone 11 black roses arrive. The card is from her "loving son" and informs her he'll be wearing the 12th. Trask gets in his car and finds an armed Aiden in the back seat. Conrad's Town Hall begins and seems to be going very well for him. Jack is helping him with info through an earpiece. A person asks him a question about Amanda and David Clarke. At this moment Nolan plays the clip of Conrad talking to Nate in the earpiece. Conrad says he will re-open David Clarke's case and would seek a presidential pardon if it is determined impropriety took place. One of Conrad's handlers quickly shuts down the line of discussion. Conrad spots the RSVP and roses and demands Victoria tell him what's going on. She tells him she terminated a pregnancy after being knocked up by one of her mother's boyfriends. Trask takes Aiden to Padma's body. Trask tells him the police are on their way, but that doesn't stop Aiden from breaking his neck. Aiden hears sirens.

He calls her two-faced and leaves. Nolan finds out about Padma and is beside himself. He tells Emily he loved her and thinks they are all to blame. He tells her he'll be okay and leaves the ball. Charlotte punches a guest after she said unflattering things about Amanda. Declan tells her she has to find some way to let that kind of stuff go. Aiden asks Emily if she's "ready for this." He tells her about the Page Six mention. Daniel tells Emily he's going to keep a close eye on Aiden until he figures out what he's doing. Jack and Victoria have an awkward interchange that leads to him referencing his child growing up without a mother. This leads to Victoria flashing back to her abortion decision. She follows the man with the black flower out of the ball. Victoria loses track of him, then collapses. Emily look on and smiles. Conrad works from home the day after the ball. His poll numbers took a hit and he wants an explanation for how she ended up unconscious on the ballroom floor. He thinks she might have lied about terminating the pregnancy and wants proof.

Jack admits to Ashley that he was responsible for what happened with the tape at the Town Hall meeting. He wants her help. Nolan loses it in his office, clearing the desk of its contents. Durant walks in behind him and tells him Padma was killed the day before. Based on the obsessive notes covering his office walls, Durant wants to know where he was that day. Victoria stops by a church. We see in another flashback that she gave her baby to the church. Vows were made that the boy would never know his real family and she will never know where he ends up.

Emily wants to help him by taking down the Falcon. She thinks Victoria is the key to finding him. Nolan seems scared of going after the Falcon but lets Emily talk him into it. Emily and Aiden watch an old Conrad and Victoria interview where they discuss David Clarke. Nolan thinks the Falcon's weakness is his ego. Their plan is to get Victoria to seek the Falcon out, perhaps related to a perception he did sloppy work for her in covering up her pregnancy. Victoria flashes back to pretending to be her baby's au pair and meeting a dean of the local college. After receiving an anonymous email calling her hospital records a forgery Victoria calls the Falcon asking for the source of the leak. Emily pays Jack a visit.

He says he wants her to wipe clearn a drive with information about him. She knows everything about Nolan and declines the offer. Nolan suggests they play a video game for it. Jack spies on a meeting between Conrad and a woman Ashley tells him is the governor's wife, Allison Stoddard. Nolan beats Falcon in the game. On her way out Emily takes several pictures of the woman. Conrad begs Victoria to participate in the interview. Takeda thinks Aiden's feelings for Emily have clouded his judgment and endangered the mission. Aiden tells him he no longer thinks revenge is the answer and wants to end things as soon as possible with no more casualties. Ashley and Jack investigate Allison. They're not sure what is going on, but she tells him she knows when Conrad is lying. The Falcon assures Victoria she's fine, that nobody can connect her to her child. Victoria again flashes back to meeting with the Dean after getting a scholarship to a school in Paris. It will mean leaving her son. Emily goes to the Grayson home for the interview. Aiden watches Daniel and Emily during their live interview. Emily is asked about a potential wedding down the road and she says she couldn't imagine "an honor greater than joining the Grayson family." Jack looks disgusted. Emily calls Jack while he drives home. She apologizes for him having to watch her interview and says it wasn't what he thinks. He responds that he doesn't want anyone associated with the Grayson around his son and hangs up. Emily gets a text from Nolan that "They're yours." Declan has been stood up by Charlie, who forget to cancel. He calls her and she makes up an excuse about being hidden away during the interview and basically hangs up on him before going into a club. Charlie and Regina are photographed as they walk inside. The interviewer asks Conrad and Victoria about Victoria's past pregnancy. He tells her that Victoria had an abortion in 1973, to which the interviewer asks specifically about her abandoning a six month-old to attend college in France. Victoria says "the story is true" and walks away. Nolan was able to gain access to Falcon's computer via the drive he gave her. This was how the evidence was sent to the Conrad's interviewer. Nolan then exposed Falcon's true identity and turned her over to the FBI. Daniel drops by Emily's place. He apologizes about the marriage question and tells her he wants them to spend the rest of their lives together. He gives her back the engagement ring and says if she's wearing it the next time he sees her he'll have her answer. Conrad is furious with Victoria, who doesn't care about his political career in the light of recent events. Declan is sent a photo of Charlie and Regina making out for cameras before walking into the club. Jack walks in and tells him about Emily and thinks they need to be careful who they trust going forward. Ashley pays Conrad a visit. She shows him a picture of him with Allison and tells him to be more careful. "Welcome back," Conrad says. Victoria visits Nolan. She tells him he can have his company back if he helps her find her son. Emily tells Aiden about Daniel pressuring her to get engaged. Aiden reminds her the plan was to destroy the Graysons from the inside. She says when this is all over "I can be with you." He puts the ring on her finger and kisses her.

Declan tells Jack he's is upset about Charlotte and tells Jack he's taking a bus to find her. Victoria and Conrad talk about returning Nolan's company to him if he helps find Victoria's long-lost son. Daniel drops by and tells his parents he and Emily are re-engaged. Victoria looks less-than-thrilled. Emily tells Victoria that in two weeks they're leaving for Paris and plan to live there permanently. Daniel makes several snarky comments about Victoria's bastard children and she storms out. Daniel tells Conrad he wants his trust fund taken out of the Amanda Clarke Foundation. Conrad wants Daniel to wait until after the election before he leaves the family business. Daniel gets a call that Aiden's employment records have arrived. Daniel brings Aiden to his office. He's furious that he's just now finding out Aiden's father is Trevor Mathis, the baggage handler suspected of placing the bomb on Flight 197. Daniel fires Aiden, who on his way out tells Daniel he's being advised by the wrong people. Ashley tells Jack she doesn't think the picture of Conrad with the governor's wife is enough to destroy his campaign. She has another idea. Emily and Charlotte talk about what's happening with her right now. Charlotte misses Amanda. Emily says she hopes they will be closer down the road and asks her to be her maid-of-honor. Regina drops by and Emily leaves. We see that Regina is buying her drugs. Emily tells Victoria about Charlotte being her maid-of-honor. Jack drops by to meet with Victoria and the two of them go to an office. Jack shows Victoria the picture of Conrad with the governor's wife. He tells her the photo has the power to derail the campaign and he wanted her to know. Victoria mentions noticing a "chill" in his friendship with Emily and tells him he is the reason Emily and Daniel broke off their engagement. Emily tells Nolan she's worried about Jack meeting with Victoria. Daniel catches Charlotte on her way out the door with Regina. He pulls her aside and asks if she'll be at his engagement party later. She says she can't be around Victoria anymore. Victoria drops by to see Allison, the governor's wife. Allison tells Victoria she's been feeding Conrad information to help Conrad win. She says her husband is has a heart problem and would not survive another term. Aiden pays Nolan a visit. Nolan says he doesn't think there is such a thing as "endgame." He doesn't think revenge is worth it and now wants to try and stop Emily's mission. He wants Nolan to drain the Amanda Clarke Foundation's funds but Nolan doesn't think it's possible. Nolan meets with the Edith (The Falcon) in prison. He tells her he'll erase the cyber trail that got her indicted if she gives him some information. She tells him Victoria paid her son Patrick $5 million to disappear, then had Edith eliminate any trace of his existence. She doesn't know what they're planning to do with Carrion, but says she's tweaked the program so that it can't be used without her. She tells him the way to access Amanda Clarke Foundation will be "hiding in plain site," where she was "born if not made." Conrad shows Ashley the latest attack ad the governor will be using against him. She wonders how he got it before it aired but he doesn't tell her. Jack drops by campaign headquarters and tells Ashley what Victoria said about the engagement. Ashley admits she told Daniel she saw him and Emily kissing. Victoria toasts Daniel and Emily at the couple's engagement party. Afterwards she pulls Emily outside for a private chat. Victoria says she doesn't think Emily is in love with Daniel. Emily makes several references to David Clarke. Declan finds Charlotte outside a club. She apologizes, then pukes in front of tabloid camera. Police show up and place her under arrest for underage drinking. Daniel tells Emily why he fired Aiden, and that he got the information from Takeda. Before the couple leaves for the night Conrad gives Daniel a check for his trust fund. Daniel advises him to remove Aiden from the ACF account. Takeda tells Emily he had no choice but to turn Aiden in. He thinks she needs to do "what needs to be done." He tells her The Initiative is planning a second strike. She wants him to let her help, but he refuses. Jack is waiting for Emily on her porch to ask if she's really going to marry Daniel. Emily advises him to be wary of Victoria and tells him that right now she can't explain what's happening. He says he's tired of the secrets and leaves. Emily updates Nolan on her conversation with Takeda and he tells her what he got from Edith. Nolan thinks he's figured out the answer to Edith's riddle. Declan and Regina argue about Charlotte. Nolan tells Aiden he thinks the pass code for the ACF is Edith's high score on Street Fighter. Aiden meets with Takeda. Takeda tells him his mission is over, but Aiden disagrees. He threatens to tell Emily of Takeda's "true objective" if he doesn't let them leave. The two proceed to pull out samurai swords. Aiden ends up killing Takeda. Charlotte tells Daniel she's pregnant. Allison goes public with her husband's health problem. Victoria drops by Jack's bar and says she thinks they need to put their cards on the table. They both want to destroy Conrad's campaign, she says. Jack tells her about Conrad ordering Amanda's murder and plays her the tape. Aiden helps Nolan get into the ACF's $4 billion Swiss bank account. Emily storms in and says she thinks they're not ready for this step. Before she can stop him Aiden hits the key that appears to bankrupt the Graysons. It appears that Conrad's win is a foregone conclusion. Emily is furious with Aiden for using his access code to steal the money, as the Graysons will know it was him. New York experiences a complete blackout. Nolan thinks this is Carrion and Emily agrees: "It's started."

She has a "long summer of fun" planned and hopes the following day's Memorial Day celebration will be the last one ever for the Graysons. Daniel goes to see his now-governor father. He has a job offer for Daniel with a private business but he's not thrilled. Conrad feels he's a presidential candidate in the making and wants more security at Emily's party.

Everybody looks up and sees Nolan parachute into the middle of the party. Conrad is upset and Emily hands him a bottle of water. After Emily officially unveils a new portrait of Conrad, the governor takes the podium. He struggles to speak and collapses to the ground. At the hospital Velez tells Conrad that he has Huntington's disease. It's a fatal, progressive neurological condition. The doctor suggests he avoid stress, but Conrad says his father worked until retirement with the same condition. Daniel tells the press only that his father had "severe dehydration." Margot arrives at the hospital and references Huntington's. Somebody has leaked a report citing a source close to the family. Victoria tells Emily everything good is being torn away from her. Daniel arrives and reveals that the diagnosis is public. Emily thinks this means Conrad needs to step down. Emily points out to Victoria that Ashley and Velez were chummy and wonders if Ashley sold her story to the press. Later that evening Jack asks Emily about orchestrating everything that happened to Conrad that day. She thinks this is what the Graysons deserve. Jack wonders if any of the fallout could put him or others in danger. He tells her to leave after the summer or he'll reveal her secret. Victoria confronts Ashley with Emily.

Emily sends a text to Jack asking if he's gone to the police. Daniel tells Conrad that the case is close and he is in the clear. He tells Conrad about the DUI bio fight with Emily.

Emily drops by Jack's bar and tells him what Victoria told her about Conrad. He tells her about the visit and warning from Aiden. Jack says he's planning to get his son to safety and then come back and finish the job with Conrad.

Charlie gets upset with Victoria when she asks Daniel about Emily being a no-show thus far at the party. Emily meets Aiden at the docks. He demands to know whether she loves Jack. She thinks he's acting out of jealousy. Aiden responds that she was playing into Victoria's hands by running to Jack and not being by Daniel's side.

Margo tells Victoria her father refused to come because he hated the magazine. Victoria tells Margo she loved the magazine and advises not to let herself be controlled by a powerful man. Emily arrives at the party and finds a furious Daniel. He thinks he's the only one fighting for their relationship and says "I can't marry you Emily."

He thinks the way to win him back is to give him a piece of herself. Patrick seems to be doing an excellent job selling Victoria's works.

Jack and Margo kiss. Aiden tells Victoria that Jack wasn't the reason Emily was late for the party. He tells there was no forced entry into the garage that night, meaning the person who gained access to Conrad's car had the code. It had to have been one of her children. Victoria goes to Conrad with Charlie. A tearful Charlie admits to Conrad that it was her. She lost her mind as to what happened with Declan and offers to confess. Conrad said he will protect her and forgive her. She tells him she loves him and they embrace. Aiden tells Emily that it was Patrick who cut Conrad's brake lines. He says he told this to Victoria and assumes she'll deal with it internally. Emily likes the fact this means Victoria now owes Aiden a large favor.

Open with Emily getting up from bed in the morning with Daniel and going to Nolan's place. She's alarmed to find Patrick leaving but he tells her about their new relationship. She doesn't seem to like the development. Charlie asks Jack about his son still being out of town with family. Jack says he won't be back until after Emily and Daniel's wedding. She tells him about her "reconciliation" with Conrad, saying it was to help him. Jack calls Emily to tell her about Charlie's revelation. She tells him it was Patrick who tried to kill Conrad. He's mad at her for not keeping him in the loop about more things. During brunch Charlie invites Patrick to an event. Victoria takes him aside and tells him to wait for her at the gallery. Victoria sits down with Charlie, Emily and Daniel and talks about the upcoming wedding. Emily tells her the wedding is "full speed ahead" and they're planning a family honeymoon. Conrad joins the table and tells them he's hired a real estate specialist named Morgan and Grayson Manor has been sold. Victoria is furious and leaves the table. Emily tells Aiden they need the Grayson to stay in their home for three more weeks, as her plan depends on them being there. She thinks their only option is to "take down the house itself." At the gallery Victoria tells Patrick about the estate. She vows to be free of Conrad and wants to put the gallery in his name so he can't get his hands on it. She then tells him she knows he was the one who tried to kill Conrad. She tells him she'll always cherish the act. Daniel walks into a bakery and runs into Sarah (the woman he hit in his DUI). He's shocked to learn that his parents didn't take care of her financial in the way he thought. Sarah's mad she read she was nothing more than a "problem" for him to overcome. Emily goes to Southampton city hall and replaces a file with one from her purse. Patrick checks in on Nolan, who hasn't been returning his calls. Nolan says that their shared relationships are making it difficulty for the relationship to continue. Patrick says he doesn't want anyone to stand in their way and Nolan agrees. Daniel talks to Charlie about Sarah and how guilty he feels. He thinks he owes her more and says he's going to go dig up the legal settlement. He leaves and Charlie calls Sarah's employer to report her being rude. Morgan hits on Conrad pretty blatantly but he turns her down. Victoria tells Aiden that as long as he keeps Patrick's secret he'll always have a place with her. She wants him to help her "send Emily packing." While Daniel looks through the settlement case with Sarah Emily calls him to say they've having foundation issues. We see Aiden go to work with a sledgehammer. They talk about how close they are and kiss. Nolan stops by Jack's place. They start talking about Emily screwing with their lives and Nolan drops the bomb about her real identity. Emily tells Morgan about the foundation issues with her home. She says there is beach erosion underneath and it's a major issue on that side of the island. She makes it sound hopeless. Jack asks Nolan how long he's known. Nolan tells him about the promise he made to Amanda's father. Nolan says he was defending the truth and Jack tells him they're still friends. He mentions that Patrick doesn't know about Charlie taking the blame and asks if Nolan is certain Patrick will never hurt anyone else. Jack says he'll "take care of" helping him get rid of Patrick. Charlie goes to see Sarah, who is now even angrier with Daniel after being fired. But she admits for a second her heart "skipped a beat" when she saw Daniel. Charlie offers her a job. Aiden tells Victoria to rush home so she can be there for a meeting with Conrad and Morgan. Morgan walks in with the file Emily planted, a bogus survey of the beach. She says nobody will touch the property at this point. Victoria tells Conrad she's moving out. Emily tells Aiden they need to find a way to get Victoria back in the house. Jack tells Conrad he wants a cease-fire after telling him a significant piece of news. Daniel talks to Charlie at a party at the bar. She shows him that she's hired Sarah to work in the kitchen. He tells her he's learned their parents' lawyers screwed her over, finding a way to not pay for her rehab. Nolan tells Emily that he gave Jack his blessing to tell Conrad about Patrick. She's pissed, even more so when he says he told Jack about her real identity. Nolan is tired of what's been happening to him. Aiden brings Victoria to a room filled with gold. He tells her it's the "missing Grayson fortune." Victoria rushes to Conrad and confronts him about the gold. He tells her knows nothing about it and she responds that she's not leaving him now. He shows her the knife Patrick used to sabotage his car and challenge her about getting Charlie to lie for Patrick. Conrad says he's already working on tucking Patrick away "forever." Daniel tells Sarah he saw the settlement and is finally aware of what happened to her. He says he wants to earn her forgiveness and asks for the opportunity to try. Emily and Aiden talk about the difficulty with where they are right now. He assures her it will all be over soon. Victoria goes to Patrick and begs her to leave. She promises she'll bring him back when the time is right. Emily apologizes to Nolan and Jack. She says she doesn't want anything left unsaid and that she'll need to disappear when everything is over. She tells them she wants to them "everything," including her plan to pin the murder of Emily Thorne on Victoria.

We open with a flash back to 2010. Daniel is about to introduce Sarah to Victoria for the first time. In present day Emily pops into the bathroom and talks about the upcoming bridal shower with Daniel. He is distant. Charlie tells Victoria that Daniel has been sneaking around with Sarah. Jack tells Nolan he's worried about Margo sniffing around Conrad's life. Jack finds out that Aiden is moving in with Nolan and isn't thrilled. Emily drops by to get things for Aiden and Jack gives her a piece of his mind. Daniel runs into Sarah at the market. They talk about their respective feelings and he is clearly conflicted. After Daniel leaves, Sarah turns around to find Emily waiting for her. Emily says she meant to surprise Daniel for lunch and followed him. She accuses Sarah of having a relationship with Daniel and begins to cry. Sarah swears she's not a home-wrecker. Conrad tells Margo he's been offered a more lucrative deal from another publisher. He pops into Daniel's office and the two talk about Sarah. Conrad asks him to join him in the city. Margo tells Jack she's sure the Graysons are hiding something. He thinks she should talk to Nolan. Jack asks Charlie for info on Aiden. She says he handled "messes" for her parents. We see Charlie get an email with the subject "Missing these, Charlotte?" She looks shocked but doesn't tell Jack anything. Noland gives Aiden the rules for living with him. Emily drops by. While she's there Aiden gets a text from Charlie which he keeps to himself. Sarah meets with Victoria. She says she won't help her break up her son's marriage. Victoria says Emily is bad news and wants her to give it a chance, "for Daniel's sake." Conrad brings Daniel to a private residence that no female members of the family have been aware of. It's essentially his go-to spot for affairs and he gives Daniel the keys. Emily tells Nolan that since her "performance" Sarah hasn't returned Daniel's calls. Aiden goes to Jack's place and tells him he never meant to separate him from his son. He tells Jack he is the "future" and what Jack and Emily had was puppy love. Charlie (the reason for his visit) meets Aiden him outside. She tells him somebody is blackmailing her with nude pics she posed for in Europe. The person wants 40K and she wants it to "go away." He asks to borrow her computer and says he'll help for free. At the bridal shower Victoria shows Emily and Daniel that Sarah is there in charge of the food. After saying her toast Charlie gets a note that she should go to the Stowaway immediately. Victoria takes the stage and announces there will be a game involving Conrad. Aiden arranges a meeting with the man who is trying to blackmail Charlie. He starts beating the crap out of the guy. When Jack walks out to break it up Charlie tells him it's okay. Conrad blindfolds Daniel for a game of This Is Your Life. He brings out a college buddy named James. Nolan tells Margo he doesn't think there is anything about Grayson Global worth printing in a book. Victoria pulls Emily up on stage and blindfolds her for her round of the game. A middle aged man comes out and Victoria tells the room he is her ex-husband. It turns out that he is gay and Emily married him to help with his green card. He wasn't completely honest with Victoria on the phone and she's clearly upset this wasn't a "gotcha!" moment. This incident upsets Sarah, who is furious with Victoria and storms out. She tells Victoria to let Daniel go. Emily and Nolan chat with her "ex-husband," who she met while training with Takeda. He also was training for revenge and his mission is over. Nolan is surprised that he seems to have found happiness after his revenge. Daniel has Sarah over to his new hideout.
