Emily: "Of all the weapons we take into battle, there is none more powerful than the mind. It holds our instincts and our training. It allows us to distinguish friend from foe, love from hate. But if that weapon is unsound, it is by no means disarmed. For the mind is all the more dangerous when damaged and there's no guarantee it won't choose itself as its next victim."
Emily (Emily VanCamp) goes in for a cat scan and her doctor tells her there's an anomaly on her brain, for which she needs to see a specialist and that she should also seek professional help and talk to someone about it. Emily tells this to Nolan (Gabriel Mann) and she's asked him to hack into the security footage of the Southfork. She's at the bar when Conrad (Henry Czerny) approaches and takes her back to his room, but he leaves her there the entire night. So much for saying how amazing she was. Nolan's worried for her since she's living in danger at the mansion and living with the enemy, so anything could happen to her. It appears she's working with Conrad and he's the one who called his ex, Stevie (Gail O'Grady). Who just happens to be a hotshot divorce attorney and is helping her with divorcing Daniel (Josh Bowman). Yeah one Mrs Grayson to another. She can get an annulment from Daniel cos he slept with his mistress in their home.
She tells Emily about the deal she wants but Emily can't recall. Instead she tells Stevie she doesn't want to divorce Daniel after all but she's not in love with anyone else, which Stevie can't believe cos her eyes betray her. Stevie: "that look in your eyes is love and not for the man you married." This really worries Emily cos she almost gave away telling her about Aiden (Barry Sloane) and later she turns up at Aiden's and wants to make mad love to him. Mad being the operative word. He pulls her off him and tells her he's leaving for London. Well not really, just the boot of the car, as Niko (Stephanie Jacobsen) drugs him and takes him back to Takeda's apartment. Here she shows him the katana and is hoping for Emily to come, as she's left her a clue and then she's going to kill her, just like he murdered her father. Aiden tells her he didn't, he defended himself and did what his father taught him. Or else he could have said that someone else did it, but he took the katana for sentimental reasons, that's why he had it.
Emily tells Nolan about what she's done and about Aiden and then sees the katana cover in Aiden's bag. She's the one who had the katana after all and not Aiden, which is why I said he wouldn't be so stupid as to keep that under the bed last ep. She's worried for him and also that she's trying to get revenge on her friends instead of her enemies. She turns up and fights Niko, who really doesn't compare to everything Takeda taught her. Oh, now Aiden manages to undo his ropes, but he couldn't before. Emily gets the better of her but Aiden stops Emily from killing Niko. He says they followed a code just like her father and she should just leave. But has she gone for good.
Daniel plans a birthday party for Charlotte (Christa B Allen) but only after she reminds him. Also asking him for a job on Voulez. He responds she's welcome to his job since Conrad has taken over the magazine and he got fired. Daniel stresses how it's just the two of them against the world. Maybe until she finds out who really shot Emily. Just as Conrad returns home, ha, Victoria (Madeleine Stowe) receives word of the fire at the gallery and Patrick (Justin Hartley) admits it was his fault. He's called Brennan (Brett Cullen) to carry out the repairs and he's more than happy to get into bed with the Grayson's. Victoria is disgusted with him and leaves but not before begging Patrick not to take drastic measures against him cos she can't lose him.
Patrick almost electrocutes him until he talks of how he had a child, but couldn't get to see him cos his mother took him away and gave him up. Emily arrives at Charlotte's birthday and she tells her she's happy she's got an internship on Voulez. Of course Conrad would oblige her. Charlotte tells Emily she already said that half an hour ago. Daniel receives a phonecall and Victoria spies Brennan speaking with Charlotte. He's here for colour swatches and then notices that look in Victoria's eyes. Like she's after him. Later he puts two and two together and when Victoria shows up at the gallery again, he recalls who she is and how she went after him. Victoria is outraged and Patrick hits him, he falls and hurts his head, but they don't call for an ambulance. Instead Victoria has a flashback with his, "face in the concrete line" and they leave him to die. Patrick tells her he doesn't want to go through that, what were they even doing. But he's in the clear since the police say he fell from his ladder. Not very thorough the police in the Hampton's.
Emily finds out she lost the plot with Nolan too and he videoed it on his phone. Only his ego was bruised. She doesn't know what's happening since it's not the anomaly on her brain which is causing the blackouts. She thinks it might be heridatary and she may be following in her mother's footsteps. She later tells Aiden how she didn't mean to plant the katana for it to be found and didn't want to see him dead. But she must have her revenge and she cant give him the family he wants. He tells her all he ever wanted was Emily.
Jack (Nick Wechsler) and Margaux (Karine Vanasse) get a house together. She also tells Daniel she is trying to save the magazine for both of them since she's trying to see what Conrad is up to. She's leaving for France to force her father to meet her. As well as losing it when Conrad calls a creative meeting without her there. Conrad tries to get into Stevie's good graces by giving her an envelope with something that will make up for the past. She throws it into the bin. Later she visits Jack at the Stowaway and sees Carl there, Stevie decides to stay on since she wants to hear what Conrad's been up to with Jack.
Stevie has a deed which shows she's the owner of the manor and wants Victoria out, Conrad joking about how this will leave Victoria homeless. But Stevie tells him this doesn't mean she's in partnership with him. She returns to the Stowaway and reveals to Jack that she's his mother and wants to hear the story now. Though it was meant to be shocking it was just so obvious Stevie was going to say, "I'm your mother." That we blurted it out before even she did, ha! So it seems Jack is in it up to his neck with being so closely associated with the Grayson's and his father having an affair with Stevie, ugh, it's never ending. Is Montauk so small! The other worst case scenario is that he's Conrad's son, nooo! But wouldn't that stir up a whole other kettle of fish. There are plenty of 'halfs' though, as in Emily and Charlotte being half sisters. Daniel and Charlotte being half brother and sister and then Patrick is also their half brother. Jack and Declan were half brothers. Have I missed anyone?
Daniel wants Charlotte to spy on Conrad now she has her foot through the door since once again they've only got each other left. Again I reiterate, how long before she finds out his lies and shooting Emily. Wonder if he'll find out Emily and Charlotte are sisters, that'll send his world spinning and rightly so. Charlotte is worried about Emily and Conrad being so close, especially after Lydia shot her.
Perhaps the highlight would have to be Victoria and Stevie bumping into each other dress shopping. Then Stevie pointing out Victoria has the same dress as her in her hand! Touche, ha. Are their tastes really so alike. It's uncanny, I mean they both had affairs, both had children who weren't Conrad's and whilst they were both married to him. Want to know how Jack will take this revelation and how will Margaux's foray into ousting Conrad get her any closer to Daniel.
Is this blackout storyline of Emily's actually going to lead somewhere or is it just a means to keep the show running. So Patrick has now killed two people for his mother and he's not looking any more endearing as a person. Just reinforcing the effect Victoria can have on her brood, which I mentioned a few eps ago, both Patrick and Daniel can take other's lives so easily, life is so cheap and they don't have any morals. What makes it worse is that they can get away with it too, as it's always covered up everytime. Though Patrick was going to call for help but instead she made him endure his own father's death. As Victoria replies, "we're victims of our world." Or rather victims of your own doing.
