Emily" To carry a secret is to play with fire. Try to pass it on and you risk hurting someone else. Hold onto it and eventually you'll get burned."
As the Grayson's plot and plunder their way through another fortune amassing scheme, this time round it's setting up a charitable foundation in Amanda's name for "invisible children" and seeking out another scapegoat, Daniel (Josh Bowman) is adamant he won't let another innocent suffer like Amanda. This time the scapegoat looming on the horizon is Aiden (Barry Sloane) and Victoria (Madeleine Stowe) thinks Daniel still shouldn't trust him. Aiden is being touted as replacing Conrad (Henry Czerny) on the board of Grayson Global and as Conrad reminds Daniel of how he won his sculling medal and how proud he was at using his God-given strength, Aiden walks into the office to garner approval from Conrad for his seat on the board.
As for the foundation, invisible children is relevant to Emily (Emily VanCamp) and Eli (Collins Pennie) here since they were both foster children and timely that he should turn up now. Emily turns up to give Victoria a cheque for $250,000 and wants to put herself forward as co-chairwoman for the foundation. Cue Eli who happened to arrive at this moment too and Emily hands him a photo of Amanda with her tattooed wrist showing, was that clever of her. Nolan (Gabriel Mann) calls and she leaves whilst Victoria invites Eli to the inaugural of the foundation.
Emily wants to corner Jack (Nick Wechsler) before Eli gets to him since Victoria blabs about giving him instructions to the tavern but he's already there when he arrives. Emily tries to apologize to Jack but he doesn't want to know. Eli knows she's really Amanda and calls her as such. He met Amanda/Emily at a stripper bar and she tells him she changed her name to get away from the whole Clarke affair, she's not running any con. Flashback to their foster home and Emily playing with matches drawing the infinity symbol over and over. She hides when the woman asks if she's got the matches. Eli was her protector and she promised they'd always be together but she burnt their home down and were separated. Eli claims he deals in antique books, a sell he uses on rich people as well as being to Columbia and they fall for it as does Victoria. Emily agrees to make his record disappear and give him money to start over as long as it's not here. Obviously it's easier said than done since Emily should have known better than to trust him.
Aiden invites Daniel for a drink where he gets into a fight with another man and Aiden rescues him. Saving him from a fight and a lawsuit, Daniel isn't too pleased with that since he also has designs on his fiance, Emily. Conrad calls to discuss Daniel and he's seated across the bar. At the foundation launch, Daniel agrees with Conrad over making Aiden a scapegoat and going along with their plan to take millions from donors and to transfer their wealth into the foundation in case their assets are frozen. With Aiden as treasurer they'll say he made off with the money. This change of mind Victoria puts down to Daniel speaking with Emily after Aiden nudges Daniel towards her, as they need to talk. Daniel tells Emily their plan. She then wants Nolan to use Carrion to hack into their account and steal all their money but Nolan is met with a hacker named Falcon. He's the same one who the Grayson's used to frame David and he's back on their payroll now. Emily suggests they go hunting.
Flashback to Nolan with David and him wanting to concentrate on Emily since she'll be going to juvie as she's burnt down another house. He gives him the chest to give her when she's ready. Emily tries to get Ashley (Ashley Madekwe) to ensure Eli is badmouthed in front of Victoria so he leaves the scene. But Victoria doesn't bite. Jack turns up and thanks the Grayson's for their work. Eli donates the cheque Emily gave him as if it belongs to him. Victoria makes him co-chair of the foundation. Charlotte (Christa B Allen) also seems to take a shine to him and Declan (Connor Paola) is clearly jealous finding need to call himself her boyfriend Ah Charlotte, she's so fickle anytime someone arrives on the scene she has to drop everything, miss school, jut to get in with them..
Jack also finds out someone left him on the dock and asks the man who it was. He bought the Rose Gray speedboat and he describes him as having sandy hair and blue eyes. I would have thought Jack would have guessed Nolan after the buying the boat bit but clearly not. Nolan and Emily are in his bad books again as he thinks they lied to him just to cosy up to the Grayson's, which is what he's doing too in a bid to carry on Amanda's quest for revenge. Nolan convinces him it was Kenny and not him who rescued him, perhaps he had a change of heart. He stops Jack from searching for him.
Victoria and Conrad created a charitable foundation after framing David and now they're doing the same with Amanda, so history repeats itself with this lot, but it just gets sillier every ep that Daniel can't see through their facade and even goes along with their deceit. He talks about not letting anyone else suffer but that's all it turns out to be with him, just talk. Since he goes back in doing a u-turn and sticks by his parents and the company. Jack also seems to be playing both Victoria and Nolan, first he hugs Victoria and is grateful for what they're doing and then he hugs Nolan for talking him out of searching for Kenny cos Declan and Carl need him. Now he's taken out a life insurance policy for Carl, it seems this has made him reckless. He's in uproar over Eli telling him Amanda hated her father. Yet this isn't the case, Emily loved him and she said this when she was younger after she was lied to and David was framed.
Emily appears to lose focus once more on her true revenge as Eli turns up and distracts her again, other than going after their money but even that got red flagged.
