Emily (Emily VanCamp) tries to figure out who the Falcon is as Conrad (Henry Czerny) tells Victoria (Madeleine Stowe) they need to do something about Daniel (Josh Bowman) and his getting close to Emily as she's too influential on him. Victoria and Conrad hold a meeting with Ashley (Ashley Madekwe) who tells him he's not doing well in the run for governor, except his ratings did peak when he held that press conference with Jack (Nick Wechsler) showing his support for Amanda, giving Conrad the idea to get Jack to help him with the common vote. Well you know, the little man, the poor. Eli (Collins Pennie) turns up to the meeting as does Emily which Victoria said was going to be a family affair. Eli invited her with an idea of how to use the foundation money since Victoria made him co-chair. He comes up with the idea of donating to the home where Amanda was brought up. Meredith Hayward (Dendrie Taylor) the woman who ran the home is having problems keeping the house open. He wants to tell Hayward the news in person and Emily wants to go too. Conrad thinking it might be opportune after all, "out of the ashes, a beacon of hope." More like his downfall.
Daniel calls Emily for lunch referring to her as Mr Taylor just incase there are anymore hidden surveillance devices around, even getting Grace to make a reservation that was out of the way under the guise of not being hounded by the Paparazzi. Padma (Dilshad Vadsaria) comes to Nolan (Gabriel Mann) with news that her father is still alive and shows him a video message of him telling her what to do. That was all rather convenient, first his finger and now out of nowhere she gets the new message. Nolan agrees to give her Carrion but he needs to add something to it first. Don't suppose Padma is intelligent enough to be the Falcon, nah. Nolan needs help and Emily says she'll be back in time from her lunch with Daniel to help him. In the meantime Aiden (Barry Sloane) has the details of their plan. He'll be there with his gun and will shoot them. Nolan adding he can't shoot people. Aiden: " they're not people, they're terrorists." Nolan still insists on calling them people.
At the home, Hayward is impressed that she will get the money and Eli wants to meet other children there. He then tells her she'll be cutting him in for 60% which will make up for the time he spent here. Emily tries to search for the letters that Eli showed her, one that her father wrote. Hayward kept them all, showing that he loved her after all. Conrad and Ashley turn up at the Stowaway where they will hold the press conference at Charlotte's (Christa B Allen) suggestion, which Declan (Connor Paolo) agrees to. Declan also spots Trey (Michael Nardelli) on campus and takes his phone. As Jack is looking for Kenny (JR Bourne) in search for answers as to why he saved him that night.
Emily says sorry to Jack but doesn't know of his plans. He tells Declan about Amanda and how she was getting back Conrad and used her leverage to get back the Stowaway for them. Jack needs to find out what happened. Declan texts Kenny from Trey's phone and sets up a meeting with him. Jack confronts him and he denies owning the boat. He didn't know what Nate was up to, but he has recordings Nate made of his meetings with Conrad, just incase he went back on his deal. He didn't give them to the police. Jack realizes Conrad was behind this and he agrees to help Conrad in his bid to get votes.
Aiden calls Emily telling him the meet has been moved forward and she can't make it back in time, she's too far away. Thus it's just him and Nolan. Nolan put a tracking device in the dinosaur's flashdrive head. That was silly since the head comes off. He doesn't let Aiden shoot when Trask (Burn Gorman) arrives for the meeting. He doesn't want to be involved in an assassination by association. Calling Aiden Lee Harvey Oswald. Someone's shown the flashdrive in the backseat and Padma is taken.
When Aiden and Nolan arrive at the location of the flashdrive, they find the dinosaur's head in a box, obviously. See Padma knew about that too. She's taken to her father but has to make a video too. I just don't believe she's not further involved in this. Nolan is disheartened since he not only had to say goodbye to Padma when she got her father back, but now the Initiative have Carrion. Emily vows to help Nolan.
At the press conference, Eli turns the tables on Hayward revealing how ruthless and cruel she really is. She tries to say he's deranged and adds he made Amanda take the blame for setting the fire. Victoria removes him as co-chair and he says she can spin this to her advantage. Emily asks why he did it and he says the fire she lit went out and so he relit it. He's sorry but they were meant to be together. She wants him to leave and forgives him. She thinks her life would have turned out different if that didn't happen. Eli gets a written confession from Hayward about what happened to her father's letters. After he locks her up in the same hole she shut them in. But he doesn't tell Emily this.
Emily meets with Treadwell (Roger Bart) telling him he wants to know what was in the letters and she still holds the key to his getting out of prison and also material for another book. Daniel is sent a photo of him with Emily at the restaurant along with two bullets. Later it's revealed Victoria sent it to him. Well it would be her wouldn't it, considering she has a fascination with bullets from an early age, when her mother got her to kill her boyfriend.
Not sure where this ep was headed as the show once again sets up many scenarios and new plots without giving us anymore conclusions. Also how cunning Victoria can be when she strives to interfere in Daniel's life yet again, keeping him away from Emily and Mason Treadwell's big reveal, Victoria has another older son. Well that figures and didn't really come as big news, I mean she kept the news Charlotte was David's daughter from everyone. I did like how Jack and Emily have inadvertently the same goal of revenge in mind against the Grayson's, him thinking it's for Amanda, when Amanda is still alive. Oh there was Emily in another red Special K dress this ep at her lunch with Daniel.
