Emily: "When I was a child my father woke me every morning with the same phrase, 'life is a great sunrise,' the words shaped the way I saw the dawn, but after my father was taken from me, the morning sun burned like fire. That's when I learned what hatred was and that it would greet me each day to come."
Emily (Emily VanCamp) enters the bedroom to find Daniel (Josh Bowman) and Sara (Annabelle Stephenson) together and he makes no qualms about what he's done, obviously to rub Emily's nose in it, like she cares, she's been doing that to him for three years! She knows Sara is Daniel's weak spot now so getting rid of her was as simple as a piece of stale left over wedding cake. Sara meanwhile was getting the perks while they lasted as she sunned herself by the pool, defying anything Emily had to say to her and even ordering Cristal from the help. Well seeing as she is such a piece of trash, enjoy it while it lasts, cos it won't be long! Anyway Emily decides to go spend some money shopping and Daniel fires the staff cos they've been gossiping. Yeah that'll stop Emily finding out what goes on there.
Margaux (Karine Vanasse) finds out the article in Voulez has been edited since it has words she didn't approve to print. Stating Conrad (Henry Czerny) gave Lydia the gun that was used in the shooting. Thus opening her up to a lawsuit from Conrad, who was the one who had the copy printed to begin with. He makes a deal with her to get Daniel booted off the magazine since he wants to buy it and he won't sue. Margaux agrees since she doesn't want her family's reputation in tatters, something the Graysons were once enamoured of, ha. Daniel is angry that he doesn't have a job now and he rushes to Sara who has cooked a meal for him, yeah showing off where she really belongs, in the kitchen and he decides they should fly to Italy cos he's got a private jet.
Niko (Stephanie Jacobsen) moves into Nolan's (Gabriel Mann) much to his displeasure since no one's told him anything and no one does. See he removed the Post-it notes a while back, maybe he should have left them for Niko. She unpacks and Aiden (Barry Sloane) realizes she's back looking after Emily, but Aiden hasn't told her about them. She pushes her bag under the bed and obviously there's something lurking under there. Really Aiden haven't you heard everyone hides stuff under the bed! Niko not realizing the man she's kissing is her father's killer. She looks at her father's autopsy photos and realizes he was killed by his own katana/sword. Busy fine peeling mangoes in Nolan's kitchen gives Nolan a change of heart since he's too afraid to tell his ground rules! She's going to peel the skin off his killer. Well she's already jumped his bones, what else is there to do! Ha.
Aiden tried to be one step ahead of her when he got Nolan to help him fake evidence to show the man who killed Declan was the same one who killed Takeda. He tells her he's in Moscow and she should go take care of him on her own. Finding out Aiden loves Emily more and revenge for Takeda isn't on his mind. She gets her bag from under the bed and finds the katana there too! Not so very clever in covering his tracks is he. Of all the places he could have kept it, he chose his room. Why is he hanging onto it anyway when he could have disposed off it ages ago too. Sentimental value? Was he going to leave it here when he was going away with Emily. Not too bright. Emily swims in the pool and finds herself at Nolan's where Aiden tries to speak with her. She seems to be in a trance or drug induced state, was that Niko's doing, or someone else I wonder, down Grayson manor way.
Patrick (Justin Hartley) wanted to find his biological father, Jimmy Brennan (Brett Cullen) and Victoria tries to put him off, but he's determined. He finds him and watches him from the car with his other child and Victoria (Madeleine Stowe) was ensuring that's all he does. Victoria follows Patrick to the bar where Jimmy hangs and she bumps into him when he picks up her bag, she loses it. Admitting to Patrick that she saw him as a brother when he lived in the same apartment building as her, but he forced himself on her. She got the scholarship to Paris and a chance for anew beginning, giving him up to the convent where she knew Jimmy wouldn't find him. Patrick tries to paint later on and drops some paint on the gallery floor. In his rage, he sets fire to it. Ooh Patrick that was very Amanda of him, when she did the same and ended up in juvvie. Seems like they have quite a bit in common.
Earlier Nolan was upset with him for assaulting him and didn't really want anything more to do with him. He choose his side when he decided to be with Victoria and so ends that short lived saga or should I say romance! Emily gets Sara's mother (Jayne Brook) to try and talk her out of staying with Daniel since Emily pays the hard done by wife and Vic! Classic Emily really. Sara doesn't want to leave since she loves Danny but her mother telling her not to return home ever, was too much for her to handle, so Sara leaves. Yay! Let's hope it's for good. So what does Daniel do, go on another drinking binge. Enters Emily's room and knocks her about by throwing her onto the bed and angrily storms off saying, "sterilizing you was my gift to the universe."
Poor Emily, whilst Victoria can't get enough of her wayward children, Emily won't ever have that experience, unless she adopts. I still wonder why she went with Victoria's say so regarding the doctor's news and she also gets Niko to cauterize her wounds, which means any hope she did have is gone. We later see Conrad in his room and Emily in his bed, leaving us with the revelation that they slept together. Did this really happen and why would Conrad let it to begin with. Not that he has any scruples, but she is still his daughter-in-law, even if in name only. As if that wasn't enough we get Conrad's first wife (Gail O'Grady) making her entrance. She's clearly got plans for him and the other Grayson's and we get to see who he left for Victoria. She seems to be another formidable match and here to cause trouble, just the way Conrad likes them.
Meanwhile Charlotte seems to have disappeared this ep and Jack (Nick Wechsler) wants to spend his life with Margaux he tells her, buy a house and everything. Don't do it Jack! Clearly over Amanda and Emily. As I said hope that's the last we see of Sara she was a weak character in the sense of getting back with the man who caused her so much misery and pain and so quickly too. Didn't like the way that was written into the plotline, just to give Daniel an excuse to shoot Emily. Especially since he hadn't even thought of her in years! Sara just didn't have the sense to stay away from Danny. Though her mother managed to see the pain he'd caused her and wanted her to leave, she did get manipulated by Emily so easily. Daniel just can't compete in the revenge stakes, he seems a little juvenile, okay a lot juvenile, doing things like having his mistress move into the mansion, didn't really make Emily bat an eye!
Emily: "Many believe there is no such thing as too much love, that its warmth is a comfort from which we never tire. But when love turns to obsession, it consumes itself. The flame that nourished becomes merciless, angry and an all consuming blaze. Leaving us confused by the chill in the air and the hate left behind."
