Emily: "A person's true identify can often be difficult to discern even to themselves. Causing one to question their character, their calling, their very existence. For most, time provides clarity but for others these questions remain unanswered. For an identity cannot be fully defined when it is a guarded secret."
Emily (Emily VanCamp) must get Nolan (Gabriel Mann) out of jail and she needs his help in taking down the Falcon. For as we know, the Falcon is responsible for framing her father, Padma's death and is an integral part of taking down the Grayson's. Emily talks Nolan round when he says he's not in the best to handle going up against the Falcon, but it's his best way of getting revenge for Padma. Revenge being the operative word. He goes up against the Falcon and gets into the firewall. Coming up with a message for Victoria (Madeleine Stowe) reading 'Sloppy,' across the fake hospital records showing Victoria terminated her pregnancy.
This is what she shows Conrad (Henry Czerny) and he wants to use it in the interview he's giving to Nightlive, live on air which he believes will help him garner the governorship. She doesn't want this aired and despises Conrad for even suggesting she drag up this past part of her life. Emily's plan works as Nolan gets to meet the Falcon at an arcade and challenge her to a game of Streetfighter. If he wins she'll help him and erase all the files on him. Naturally Nolan wins and gives her a flashdrive, with Emily snapping a photo of her. Turns out the Falcon (Susan Parke) is nothing but a girl after all.
Conrad brings the press conference to the mansion and gets Victoria to sit in on the interview. Daniel (Josh Bowman) is also interviewed about how he became CEO by removing his father. He just puts it down to bad press. Also putting the ball in Emily's court by asking Chung to ask her about their engagement. To which Emily is very receptive much to Victoria's chagrin. As the Falcon hacks into the computer, she uploads info about Victoria's pregnancy onto Juju Chang's tablet as it's revealed Victoria had her baby. Toppling Conrad's chances of success. Falcon calls Nolan who tells her she plugged the virus flashdrive into her computer, as the FBI approach to arrest her. Real name Edith Lee, she was part of Grayson Global, an employee who was needed for framing David Clarke so they looked inhouse.
Emily finds her photo on the one at the retreat and finds she was the unknown girl. She gives Nolan the privilege of crossing her off the list for Padma. Daniel gives Emily their engagement ring and wants her to marry him, wanting to spend the rest of his life with her. Aiden (Barry Sloane) pushing her to accept by placing the ring on her finger as she will use him to bring down the Grayson's. Would have been great if they were setting it up for Aiden to be Victoria's son since he and Daniel being related would make for some great scenes, not least so between Emily as part of the triangle. That will mean she'd be in love with both of Victoria's sons so which would she choose to bring down. Or maybe go running off to Jack (Nick Wechsler) but he's disgusted with her, especially after seeing her with Daniel. She tries to explain but he doesn't want anything to do with her and no longer wants her as Carl's godmother.
Daniel meets Takeda (Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa) and wants info on Aiden, his records when he used to work for him. Aiden interrupts their meeting and is surprised to find him there. They later meet for drinks and he wants Aiden to return to Japan as Daniel will find out about his past since he hasn't changed his name. That was cos he was looking for Colleen.
Jack has his own agenda with Ashley (Ashley Madekwe) as he sees Conrad with another woman whom she says is Stoddard's wife, Allison (Jessica Tuck). He doesn't think Conrad is having an affair with her but something is going on since he's meeting with her secretly. Ashley can tell if Conrad is lying by his tell, it's in his eyes and if she could get back in with him she'd be able to find out what's happening. Which is what she manages to do after the fiasco of the interview saying she can help him gain his lead after all the hard work she's put in. Jack tells Declan (Connor Paolo) he's got his own agenda for Ashley.
Declan was meant to meet Charlotte (Christa B Allen) to help him write his essay but she veers off with Regina (Seychelle Gabriel) and goes off the rails again, really. That's all she needs a distraction, what is the point of her anyway since that's all she gets up to. They pose for a camera which later shows her kissing Regina which Declan sees. I'm fed up with Charlotte she's just a waste of space when it comes down to it.
The entire story of the Falcon was a bit of a letdown, being underground for 20 years all of a sudden she surfaces and then gets brought down in an instant. Not by Victoria of all people but by Nolan, which is understandable. Thus leaving Victoria to recruit Nolan as her new hacker in finding her son, Patrick. Conrad asking Victoria that if she's thinking of ending it off her balcony he can help. "If you're thinking of jumping, allow me to assist you." Hmm, Victoria said something similar to him when he was at the beach a few eps ago.
Suppose the best part was that Aiden finally saying Emily will realize revenge isn't really satisfying but he'll be there to make sure she's okay when she finds that out and pick up the pieces. Though he neglected to tell Emily about Takeda being around, so much for trust and that he also wants out of the revenge game.
Nolan's middle name is Leslie. Don't know what Ashley is up to, but clearly she's using people, like Jack to get back her own position with Conrad and seems to be playing both sides.
SO Victoria wore the Special K red dress for the interview, big mistake, ha. Charlotte had no qualms about using the Grayson name to get into the club, just earlier on she reiterated her name is Clarke.
