Emily (Emily VanCamp) realizes Victoria (Madeleine Stowe) is manipulating David (James Tupper) and that's why she's keeping her away from David. The press harass Jack (Nick Wechsler) by asking if he's staying away from his father-in-law cos he's going to blame him for Amanda's death. Margaux (Karinne Vanasse) wants the story on David and wants to know what happened between David and Conrad. Daniel (Josh Bowman) doesn't want any press and he wants to do things his own way and doesn't want anyone to know about them, so he has more control on his life and his name. Also adding that, "by some miracle" Louise (Elena Satine) chose him for the account. Oh wake up Daniel, why'd you think that is/was?
Victoria returns to the hotel with David and he's almost run over, no doubt it appears to be a ploy by Victoria so she can keep hold of him and manipulate him some more. Emily is also there and sees how close he's come to being killed, but who would want David dead, that's a question no one asked. She wants to take him to Marlyand but his being at Amanda's grave just made him ask more questions and he wants to know what happened to "my girl." Nolan (Gabriel Mann) thinks if Aiden was here he could make Emily see how wrong she is wanting to see David. He wants her to slow down and even if Victoria got in before her, but she doesn't want to listen. Nolan says, "only family can get through to him." Here I was thinking that Emily would go to Jack so he can get in with David, but she does the most stupidest thing of all and goes to Charlotte! Huh!!
Jack's off work and is sent home cos he can do without the press and Alvarez (Nestor Serrano) doesn't want him around. Ben wants to pursue the Conrad killing case cos that's high profile and it's just been left open. Yeah the same can be said about the FBI leaving it open too, a bit useless.
Louise is still trying to get the low down on the 'feud' between Victoria and Daniel and he's just falling into her lap, in more ways than one. He doesn't tell her about Margaux. Emily wants Charlotte to arrange a meeting with her and David. Emily tells her Victoria was behind the attack and how she manipulated him by taking him to her grave and how painful that must have been for him. Charlotte asks if Victoria's behind the attack and why she took him to the grave. Why doesn't she tell him the truth cos that's what Emily wants to do, but Victoria turns the manipulation around onto Emily and how she's lying and only wants her own way. So why didn't spineless Charlotte tell him instead of taking him to Jack.
Jack became a cop to get control of his life. Nolan believes David was the father he wanted and part of him wants to go to him. Jack doesn't want that cos of Carl and he can't lie about the fact that he's his grandfather. Nolan says Emily's not thinking the variables and she's "rushing to meet a man that doesn't exist anymore." Nolan hitting the nail on the head with that comment, cos he's not the man any of them know.
Emily takes the money Margaux was paying the bellboy to get to see David. She's here to ensure that she's not used by people like her and she's here to protect Amanda and what she would've wanted for her father. Daniel can't help but get it on with Louise cos she tells him they're both attracted to each other. She mentions him not having any personal things at his penthouse, yeah think those "multiple rounds of shock therapy" really have gone to Louise's head.
Emily goes to the room and finds that it's Victoria who answers the door, knew that was coming. As Charlotte takes him to see Jack. Victoria's desperately trying to turn David against Emily cos she knows the truth and how she treated her. Victoria wonders what will happen to him by the lies and the death Emily caused in his name; "and now you must live with the repercussions of what you have done." Or else she must stay hidden "in this pathetic identity." Victoria's afraid of David leaving her for his daughter. Charlotte brings out the wedding photos too and insists on David meeting Carl, as well as blabbing about how Amanda used to live at the Stowaway, well, duh she would she since it was Jack's home after all. Not like Amanda had much of a life. Meaning all that rouse about being held prisoner was just that on David's part and it seems to be that way. Could David not have recognized Amanda, he barely looked at the photo in the album as if he knows it's not her, or wasn't really interested in looking at it.
David visits Nolan and he's more than overjoyed at this. He wants to know if he gave her the money and the box so why was she living above a bar, at which point Nolan wanted to tell him why. He hopes David will trust what he knows in his heart to be true and not listen to others who are trying to manipulate and lie to him. It's hard for him to remember Amanda. Emily knows Nolan was right about her wanting to see David. Jack tells her no one could've stopped her from seeing David. He won't hold what she's done against her. He wouldn't stopped loving her. She had to do what she did to stop what others started. Nolan says Victoria can't twist the truth. He's afraid of losing her memory. Jack says they need to get him away and so she sees Margaux to get her to write the story and to give him the deed to the beach house.
Well actually Margaux gives the deed tot Daniel and calls it business, he doesn't really want anything to do with her either it appears. Daniel says he wants to make amends for what his father did and Victoria doesn't want him there cos he he'll be closer to Emily of course but she can't exactly tell him that. She also doesn't want Margaux writing the story, but she can't stop her and Margaux tells her this will cover her debt for the loan.
Ben (Brian Hallisay) has the files taken from him by Alvarez and he doesn't want him pursuing the case, cos he's protecting Victoria. His biggest suspect was Jack but after talking with his former partner he finds out that Jack has an alibi. He was with him when Conrad was killed. He's not going to give up pursuing this though. Nolan and Emily watch Daniel and Margaux together and Nolan wonders what they should call them, "Maniel or Dangeaux". Personally I like the second one!! It's like a dagger through the heart! Ha. Well, "D'argaux would've been!" Ha.
Jack confronts Charlotte about the stunt she pulled and how she's not like Victoria but more like Conrad which she hates and tries to slap him. It's no wonder she's drinking, it's cos she can't live with what she's become he tells her and later after she binges some more at a club, she leaves with the man who tried to run David over, as recognized by the moon tattoo on his hand. Oh Charlotte just shoot up some more and be done with it!
David plays the song that he and Amanda used to dance to, "Everybody's talking at me..." and Nolan wonders if she used a remote or a sensor, but Jack tells him she didn't have to. It's David and his memories, see how dangerous those memories are as e plots his own revenge:
"Evil takes many forms, including those we think we can trust the most. The anger that spread almost cost me the thing that I valued above all else. My memories of you, the daughter I still love, infinity times infinity. And now I can still feel you again which is why I know what I must do, for you were wronged as I was, and by someone I trusted. There must be repercussions and I swear to you, Amanda, I will have revenge."
There's his raison d'etre and why the show must go one since it's now gone back to its premise: revenge. Also in a nutshell, he's stated who he's going after, i.e. Victoria, he trusted her and she betrayed him. Lest it's Nolan but he didn't do anything but help Amanda. Unless he's thinking he took the money for himself, why else would he go see him and that hug? But hey if that's the case, then Jack will be on his list too. Did he sound like he sincerely meant it when he told Jack that he's grown up to be honourable? Hmm, now that makes me think...he's going to go after all those who are Emily's friends and this puts them in danger. Well, just a thought!
Funny how Victoria got to say the ep title when Emily confronts her about what she's doing to David and how the lie of her being alive is getting deeper and deeper and harder for her to talk her way out of. Applying both to Emily and Victoria the most, he won't be pleased that Emily didn't come clean with him sooner, I mean how much more at ease with his life will he need to become before she tells him, especially now Victoria and Charlotte are both against that happening. It'd be easier for her to tell him now and get it over with, but obviously that'd be too easy and it's now David turn to get his revenge for Amanda and her death. Thus his narration now.
Having said that David also uses it in his narration at the end. Wonder when Victoria's getting hold of his journal he's writing now, thought she'd have taken it from his bag when he answered the door to Daniel. Oh and Daniel comes clean with Louise and wants to start over, strictly business, not what she wanted at all, see she's deranged when she hits her hand on the lift mirror and nothing happens to it. Speaking of hands, when will Emily's infinity tattoo be seen by David?
