Victoria is shown lying on the ground.

Victoria (Madeleine Stowe) is in bed with David (James Tupper) as Emily (Emily VanCamp) breaks into the beach house and retrieves a knife and the key. She needs to find out where he's been all these years and what he's been hiding. She wants Nolan (Gabriel Mann) to find out where the key belongs. Margaux (Karinne Vanasse) thinks that Nolan being humiliated like that was an added bonus. Daniel (Josh Bowman) warns Margaux to steer clear of Louise (Elena Satine) as they're playing tennis again. He tells her she's unstable and really he also doesn't want her finding out he slept with Louise.
Jack (Nick Wechsler) tells Emily about the prison guard who beat up David and how they found the symbol in his garage. Emily needs to tell him what's happening. Ben (Brian Hallisay) walks in and tells Jack not to make personal calls, why is it that when they're on the phone they have to say the name of the person they're speaking to. I don't do that! David talks to Jack and wanted to apologize and how he gave her a good life and he's grateful for it. Jack says he should apologize to Nolan cos he was there for her and was her best friend, they were really close. He should've gone to Jack first. That's why she asked him to officiate their wedding and he wants to know who else Amanda was close to.
Daniel asks Victoria why she didn't tell him about Emily and who she really was cos Charlotte did. He doesn't want to be caught in the middle of their feud and when David finds out Victoria betrayed him. She replies Emily will drag Daniel down cos when the truth comes out that's what she'll do. Emily tells David as he turn sup on her doorstep about Amanda and how Victoria threw her a baby shower and she fell from the balcony, but they don't know what happened. Emily tells Nolan she doesn't know who he is and how he lied to her face and didn't even recognize her. She recalls him but he doesn't even recall one memory of her.
Victoria says she helped Amanda given her hard life and he replies he was rash in making Nolan take the blame. Why didn't Victoria help her cos she had money, but she blames Conrad and his associates and how they were watching her. She didn't want to endanger Amanda and the fall was an accident. Her friends from work will say the same. So naturally Victoria rushes over to a friend of hers and takes jewellery out of a stone statue of a horse of hers. Also saying she brought the lion's share. I wanted that chair. Of course she bribes Amanda's friend, Crystal (Hannah Leder) when she lies to David about what happened at the baby shower, saying it was an accident and she should've been able to control herself in those heels cos of their work.
Louise locks Margaux into the steam room, when she gets a 'visit' from her mother, Penelope (Carolyn Hennessy). Of course her mother isn't really there. Look it's Sharon Osbourne. Showing Louse is clearly screwy! Margaux manages to get out of there by breaking the glass. Well if that steam room scene ain't a ploy straight from Charlie's Angels, the original series. She accuses the owner, Charles Dawson (Charles Shaughnessy) of running a shoddy place. Nolan says he wasn't in the mood for humiliation on live TV as she says she's not in the mood either and she didn't know David would do that, no, but she lapped it up. "Looks like karma found you first and you know what say, karma's a bitch!" The only way anyone can lock the door is using a tiny pin. Which puts her onto Louise's radar.
Loved the scene where Daniel put a clanger in the works when Emily's got seven minutes to get into the bank vault, when Nolan disrupts the camera feed and hacks into the bank, otherwise the back up system ovverides it. However Daniel decides to confront her in the lift and they talk about how he got someone to track her down, cos Emily tells him he's not good enough to do it on his own. He disables the lift and he'll tell everyone her secret, which Charlotte told him, who is also his little sister and that makes everything weird. He's not into 'crushing' her this day, not his style anymore. He doesn't want to be caught in the crossfire when everything comes out. He's trying to keep apart from his family's sins and she should be aware of what that means. The power goes off in the lift and Emily tries to get out of the top.
Jack comments they'll do each other's hair next and have a sleepover when Ben asks how things are going with Emily. They find the DB days after Emily and Charlotte left him there and also clippings about Conrad's killing and the knife that was used to kill Conrad. So did Emily plant that there or was it already there. There were many ways why she could've infiltrated his family Daniel tells her but she went through him. The biggest lie was her name, her being pregnant and then other lies within that. The wine auction and he asks what her ulterior motive was there. He asks if any of it was real, but she can't think of anything. The proposal, wasn't real. He undid his own life himself. There was a time when they could have had a real relationship but he aligned himself with Conrad. Something real is when she used his shoulder for leverage to get out of there. Margaux tells him about Louise.
It's amazing David couldn't see through the lies Crystal told him, especially since he's been telling so many of his own and she told her everything about Victoria this and Victoria that, for someone who's adept in telling lies himself. Daniel confronts Louise about the steam room and he wants her to stay away from her. She thinks he's jealous. She's too busy putting Victoria's head over her mother's picture! Nolan turns up and he tells him she saw him on the news and he should come onto her yacht, but not with the storm he tells her. She's got a jet and can fly to the Bahamas with him, he adds, "so do I!" Loved that line. Before leaving she adds he's got something that they haven't, he can do anything he wants.
Jack calls Emily again and tells her about the DB they found at the apartment. Emily finds photos of Amanda on the flashdrive from the safety deposit box showing that David had been watching Amanda for a long time. Nolan buys the yacht club cos he was more at peace here than anywhere else. Emily can't stand it anymore and confronts David, telling him he should've been there for her. If he came for her she would've known. "You could've come for me but you didn't." He's just a coward.
Victoria and those earrings he gave her, which she was saving for him and the good times.
The scene with Emily and Daniel was really rather good and funny too, as it was reminiscent of past episodes when they were together and for a second when you though that Emily really did have some feelings for Daniel, until he destroyed them. But he seemed to enjoy their banter too in the lift and if they get back together, a really big if, it wouldn't really be a bad thing at all now would it! ha. But seriously, he's not going to be with Margaux especially when she finds out he slept with Louise and lied to her. That's the leverage Louise has over him and why he's not willing to sever ties with her. Margaux throwing the drink on him! Margaux calling him, "incroyable" en Francais! (Meaning, incredible! Ha Well that could've gone to his head and he could've taken that the wrong way!) So you see Emily and Daniel should happen. Cos don't really want to see her with Ben or anyone like him. He looks a bit shifty at times, no seriously always getting into everyone's face and business, job hazards aside!
Emily finally tells David who she is and it takes the tattoo one her wrist for him to believe her but then Victoria messes it all up by getting electrocuted by the powerline. Was it really the powerline or was it Louise, my money's on her cos there was just more than coincidence that that particular line just had to fall on her car and notice the flower on the bonnet, and where was she going anyway? Making a run for it?
