Nolan (Gabriel Mann) wants to report the break-in to the police but Emily (Emily VanCamp) refuses, there's no footage of him on the surveillance cameras either. Nolan goes behind her back and calls the police, Jack (Nick Wechsler) and Ben (Brian Hallisay) and he wants her to make a statement. Nolan adding that the intruder was armed which makes it an aggravated assault. Emily wants to do this all alone and Ben thinks the intruder may be injured if he jumped from that height. He wants a statement since he got his notepad out and will also leave some cars outside for her protection. Jack knows he'll be in one of them and Ben tells him if he wants Emily, he'd ask her straight out for a date. Jack tells him he doesn't want things complicated with her. More like he has feelings for her.
Victoria (Madeleine Stowe) arrives at the cabin and Charlotte (Christa B Allen) isn't there, David (James Tupper) was meant to look after her for the night, well she should've been here herself instead of out begging for money. When she leaves, David self-flagellates himself and later he steals some pills from the store, where he is arrested by two police officers. Didn't it look like he had planned the entire arrest and made sure he would be caught, what better way to get back into public and what better way than to lead Victoria a merry dance, but also his own way of getting revenge on her. It seems so apparent that he doesn't believe for one minute that Victoria is innocent of his ordeal and he's just playing her until the right moment.
Victoria finds Charlotte has been getting another prescription filled, cos little Miss hard done by, is upset Victoria made everything about her and she wasn't able to meet her father on her own terms. She later tries to give Daniel (Josh Bowman) money as if that'll make it all right, but he knows she got it from Margaux (Karine Vanasse) saying that cos of Pascal she is practically family. Louise (Elena Satine) sends over a glass of 1928 champagne which apparently costs an arm and a leg, but Victoria refuses it. I mean the waiter saying it was from a "secret admirer", how many does Victoria have of those? Ha. Daniel doesn't want anything to do with her cos once again she's lying, saying that she wants to make amends with him and Charlotte and this is her start.
Louise the try-hard goes all out to seduce Daniel, first by giving him a job and then by getting him to rub cream on her back and if that don't beat all, she also sends him the same bottle of champagne now that he's moved back into the penthouse. Which he thought was left there by the hotel, really? He then asks her if she sent Victoria the champagne earlier, cos Louise says it's her mother's fave, as is Victoria's too. Oh Daniel, you still don't have the brains to put two and tow together cos it can't be a coincidence that champagne was ordered twice in the same day and both times when he's around! Louise hoping that talking about her devil of a mother will make Daniel see her as an ally as they have the same thing in common, when she was trying to impress Victoria not so long ago, so what's her game?
Jack preps the line-up and recognizes David, even holding down the button of the intercom when he says that. He tries to call Emily but Chief Alvarez (Nestor Serrano) stops him to give him the lowdown on the break-in, since he doesn't want people panicked. By that time Ben has also called Emily for the line-up and it's too late for Jack to warn her. She sees David and cries, then says she doesn't recognize anyone. The prints come in identifying him as David Clarke and the FBI are on their way. Emily is distraught and overcome with shock, as is Nolan and she wants to see him, but the FBI have the police station on lockdown. Ben thinks she wants to see David cos of Amanda, but he doesn't know how wrong he is.
David refuses to speak until Victoria arrives with a lawyer (Susan (Lola Glaudini) after Alvarez calls Victoria and tells her about David. He doesn't want the lawyer and he makes a statement of how he was stabbed in prison, but he survived and Conrad kept him locked up for ten years. When he was tortured and beaten, showing him the marks on his back. He can also lead them to the place where he was kept and his story needs to be checked. FBI Agent Steigel (LaMonica Garrett) agrees to release him since his name was cleared by Conrad's confession and he also says that Conrad was killed six months ago.
Victoria tells David she wants to stand by him and Charlotte is on her way. He tells her he won't be held prisoner by anyone anymore, not even her. She needs him, but you know what, he doesn't need her. Emily needs to see him and by now the story is breaking news. Ben knows Jack will want to see David for his wife, but he says he can't see him now and wants to leave already. Emily arrives at the press conference with Nolan, but David introduces Victoria and Charlotte to stand by him as his family, which is exactly what Victoria wanted, to shut Emily out. She smirks at Emily. Can't believe David didn't see Emily there, and to want to stand by Charlotte, really, what a worthless daughter!
Have to say the David reveal was unexpected and was one of the highlights of this ep, let's face it, a lot has been lacking in this new season. It's a shame the big reunion between long lost father and daughter was behind a glass window and one-sided only! He still doesn't know Amanda is alive and Victoria certainly isn't going to tell him. David's press conference was eerily similar to all those Conrad and Victoria used to hold didn't, as if David had been watching them all along and planning to make his move. Was he really held hostage by Conrad, it doesn't seem that likely. But then everyone's been lying left, right and centre, so who knows what the truth is anymore.
One thing, the sound is far too low on the voices and needs to be turned a notch up and the music needs to be lowered a tad! It garbles their voices especially Emily and Victoria!
