- We see a hooded figure disarming a security alarm while there is a voice-over of Emily describing what is required if you are after revenge. When the hood is pushed back, it's Emily and the scene widens to show she is in a garage and judging by the cost of the cars within and the photographs displayed, it is the Grayson's garage. Aiden steps out of the shadows and they begin arguing over investigating the attempt on Conrad's life. He questions whether her influence over Daniel is waning.
Margaux invites Jack to be her date for the huge party the magazine is throwing to roll out the first edition. Her father will be there, making it a particularly big deal to her and many others, but she explains that Jack's indifference to the influence of power or money is why she'd like him by her side. He initially declines, citing his issues with the Graysons, but she soon talks him into it.
Conrad hires a P.I. to look into the threats on his life, to especially look at Jack as the perpetrator who he believes wants him dead due to "misguided revenge." Aiden enters shortly after the P.I. leaves and guarantees Conrad that he can put Jack behind bars. Conrad says he'll hire him permanently if he can get that done.
Victoria arranges a poolside, surprise run-in between Daniel and first, Patrick, then Emily. It works to break the ice with Patrick, but Daniel still snubs and then ignores Emily.

After checking to be certain that Victoria is not in the art gallery, Nolan sidles up to Patrick and begins flirting. When Patrick asks Nolan how he knew he was gay, Nolan jokes that he has a finely tuned gaydar. When Patrick responds, it's clear that he's neither amused nor joking and he reveals that he found out Nolan paid his ex-wife $20,000 for dirt on him and is upset and warns Nolan not to go behind his back.
Margaux preps the office for the upcoming party. She reminds Daniel they have a wedding issue coming up and complains they need more for Emily's profile. She asks Daniel about, at least, a picture of Emily's family they can use and he surprises her with his response that he's never seen a picture of Emily's family. He does remind Margaux of the difficult and sad childhood that Emily endured.

At the party Margo tells Conrad her father broke his leg and could not fly. Charlie arrives and tells Daniel she doesn't want to talk about what is going on with her and Conrad.
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. He doesn't think he can trust Emily to get the job done since she can't even trust the people who work for her.
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.
Nolan goes to see Patrick and tries to explain he did what he did as a type of defense mechanism. He apologizes.
Victoria finds Margo alone in her office ripping pages out of her magazine. 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."
Emily and Nolan talk about the latest development with Daniel. Nolan thinks Daniel has "evolved." Nolan thinks the issue is that Emily can't give Daniel honesty. He thinks the way to win him back is to give him a piece of herself.

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 Charlotte and a tearful Charlie admits to Conrad that she cut his brake line. She lost her mind as to what happened with Declan and offers to confess.

When Charlotte and Victoria are alone again, Charlotte confesses that she will do anything to keep Conrad from hurting Jack.
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. Emily tells him how much he means to her and they kiss.
Victoria and Charlie walk downstairs. She tells Victoria she lied and took the blame in the hope it might help Jack.
Emily gives Daniel a picture of her with her parents. She tells him a story from her childhood and gets emotional talking about her father. She tells him it's hard for her to trust anyone and talks about the pain of losing her family.
