Emily: "Every human is born of collusion. We come into this world as a result of a covenant. Sometimes made of love, sometimes of circumstances. But almost always made in secret."
Lots going on here in the usual fare, or should that be fair! at the Hampton's. Emily (Emily VanCamp) dreams about Aiden (Barry Sloane) in bed together but he rolls over and turns into Daniel (Josh Bowman) her subconscious trying to tell her something or was she just having a nightmare, didn't seem that way. Also now we know she has racy dreams!
Anyway she meets Aiden next day and loved his hard done by, dumped lover act and tells him she's sorry, he tells her about Helen (Wendy Crewson) and how they've got to find out what she's up to, also that Daniel isn't being very subtle by taking her to lunch with oysters.
Daniel takes Emily to LA and she's caught out by this surprise. He wants her to help him seal the deal with Donna (Sherri Saum) from Stonehaven, whilst Victoria (Madeleine Stowe) works the opposite and wants Prosser (Dylan Walsh) to take the company instead. Aiden is contacted by Helen and shows him a video of Colleen, anyway that video didn't show proof of life, it could have been taken anytime. In return for Colleen staying alive he must kill Victoria. That came out of the blue, why take Victoria out of the picture when she's more of hindrance when it comes to Daniel. He doesn't exactly listen to her.
Conrad (Henry Czerny) meanwhile gets even deeper into the political game and Victoria is shocked by that skank Ashley (Ashley Madekwe) being his 'media communicator'. Commenting, the "cat's dragged itself back in." Wouldn't have used cat myself. She jets off to LA too in a bid to help Prosser steal the company and calls Charlotte (Christa B Allen) to tell her she's not going to the ballet with her. The usual mother/daughter birthday tradition. Amanda (Margarita Levieva) gives her a handprint of Carl's and reminds Charlotte she's not really a Grayson, putting ideas into her head. as she later reveals what she wished for at the surprise party. Surprises galore in this ep! She's filed a name change to Charlotte Clarke and Emily overhears this with a smirk on her face.
Conrad tells Jack (Nick Wechsler) he will only help with the drug charges but not the murder charges and Amanda blabs it was Matt (Jonathan Adams) who killed Joe Ryan. Ashley wants to inform the police but Jack doesn't want that. Amanda insists that Carl didn't see his grandfather but she doesn't want to lose her husband before they're even married, or for Carl to lose his father. Jack talks to Matt and tells him the police found the gun in the boat. He should confess which he does and Conrad pays Kenny (JR Bourne) $50,000 to buy out the Stowaway. Kenny signs but Nate (Michael Trucco) isn't happy about this. Kenny trying to convince him it's over but it's not since he wants the docks and to turn it into a gambler's paradise. Conrad is interested in the idea and wants to get into bed with Nate, in a business capacity. Anything to make a buck! Or as I said why don't they just shove Nate onto the Stowaway and scupper it! That'd be the end of that problem.
Daniel is surprised by Victoria in LA and thinks she's here to upset his business acquisition and Emily asks why she wants Daniel to lose the bid. Daniel's met with Donna and tells her his intention in acquiring the disaster relief company is to turn the global name into a world vision and not global as in acquisition, or world domination. Of course Victoria is messing with his assets, as she is with Prosser and Emily calls Aiden and finds he's there as well. But he doesn't tell her the real reason he's here. Emily thinks he should talk to Prosser and convince him to back out of the company, thereby letting Daniel win. Since he wants to make it a trifecta victory after becoming CEO of Grayson Global, acquiring NolCorp and now has Stonehaven in his sights. Victoria's not giving up though and Prosser admits he wants Victoria and isn't concerned about Stonehaven.
Nolan (Gabriel Mann) has troubles of his own with Padma (Dilshad Vadsaria) and she wants him to buy the house they're viewing. He doesn't want a key it's so old fashioned for starters, later she rifles through his drawers (ooh er) at the office and he walks in on her. Would have thought he'd have planted the Dolphin cam already for safety purposes but he doesn't think of doing that until later. She gives him the key attached to a keyring with the avatar of Hanuman, a protector against evil spirits, she being one of those spirits. He tells Padma Marco was just a fleeting phase. Daniel calls Nolan for help in digging the dirt on Prosser and Emily texts him to help and she'll buy him a house and also asks him to locate Aiden.
Nolan hacks into Aiden's phone and finds the text with his sister on there and she wonders why he didn't tell her about it, then working out it's cos he's after Victoria. Aiden tries to take a shot at Victoria through the window, but she closes the curtain. Daniel digs up the dirt and lays it before Donna telling her Prosser was part of some big oil/gas deal but he insists it was his subsidiaries. Daniel gets his hands on Stonehaven and Emily gets to Aiden before he can take another potshot at Victoria after Prosser accuses her of using him to help her son.
Aiden is sent a video with Coleen's last moments as if she Od-ed but as said she could have died anytime. He thinks she may be alive but if she isn't it will be Emily's fault. Emily comes clean to Daniel about Victoria wanting her to help and Daniel tells her he was already aware. Nolan catches Padma with the cam after telling her he's left his card in the office. She finds a flashdrive and copies it in the computer. His suspicions being alerted when she mentions Carrion being a computer programme and last time she called it a person. He tells Emily this since she's the only one he can trust and refers to Aiden as Thomas Crown, this time, ha. Emily's advice is for him to play Padma like she's playing him.
Emily was brave sticking her neck out telling Aiden to fight the Initiative instead of following their orders since it's obvious he would hold her responsible for anything that happened to his sister, which he does. She's now in his bad books so he'll be out for vengeance. Nolan also tells Emily Carrion is a programme that is incomplete cos the rest of it is in his head. It's a programme that can turn Manhattan dark in milliseconds but she wonders why the initiative would be after it. AT least he's found out about the other skank and turncoat Padma now and that love does not run smoothly. It's apparent Padma is being used just like Aiden though we don't know yet what they hold over her.
There was no end narration from Emily this time.
