Emily (Emily VanCamp) calls David and meets with him to get to the bottom of what he said about wanting to kill Victoria (Madeleine Stowe). He's inviting her to the lighthouse and he'll end it all, they'll think it's a suicide. She doesn't want him to do that though cos they can leave together and she wants to get to know him. She thinks they should let Victoria suffer, having lost all her family. But she needs time to tie up some loose ends. For Amanda/Emily, those loose ends will never be tied up. There'll always be that one stray, fraying thread forever blowing and will never be just gone with the wind. Had to get that in since everyone was talking in their Southern accents!
Emily meets Louise (Elena Satine) and she tells Nolan (Gabriel Mann) that they're both going to leave. He's going to miss her but she tells him he's already got a redhot replacement. Nolan adding doesn't she know that,"gentlemen prefer blondes;" and maybe Southern gentlemen at that too. He's trying to make amends for her brother after blabbing to Margaux (Karine Vanasse) about him and will write him a little cheque as a campaign donation. He thinks Lyman (Sebastian Piggott) is trying to commit Louise again and he'd like Emily's opinion on whether she's ll need a red sharpie for him or not. David tells Victoria he can't meet her later since she needs more time with Daniel's memories. He meets Jack (Nick Wechsler) and tells him Black (Tommy Flanagan) isn't dead. He knew it was a trap and faked his own death. Carl is with Jack's cousin and he needs to go to work and not get in touch with Emily. A pity he didn't tell Emily not to call him since he'll be tracing David's number.
Ben (Brian Halisay) is sorry for pushing her in the interrogation and the investigation's been closed. He's meeting with Alvarez about the promotion, but no one was suspicious of where Alvarez could've vanished to, is this policing in the Hamptons. She tells him she's going away for a few days but not that it'll be for good. Of course she's not going to go now that Black's alive and on the scene. Lyman wants Louise to do what he wants or he'll tell them about her. As Emily returns to the club, she overhears Louise and Lyman arguing over her medication and how she needs to take the pills, otherwise she gets "too possessive" without them. Emily thinks she's okay and Nolan still wants to help her.
Victoria wants to give Margaux Daniel's box of things he kept when younger and she thinks it's cos she wants to tell her the truth about Emily and how she killed him. She doesn't want them, she thinks he's still alive when she wakes up. She slams the box down and leaves, she doesn't want to give her son that, but she wants the truth. Margaux's hair when Victoria opened the door to her, looked like a bad comb over! Ha.
As Jack is leaving for work, Black approaches him and introduces himself as Agent Taylor. He wants to know about Kate and Jack asks him if he thinks she's on vacation here. As he sees Carl through the window. Of course he's going to subtly threaten him as he says you never stop worrying about your children. Ben tells Jack how Alvarez is avoiding him and that Margaux is still pursuing him about the Daniel shooting. There's a call over the radio for someone to check out Alvarez's house. David calls Black from Kate's phone and tells him if he wants to see her alive then he'll tell him where Kate is, but only if he leaves and so he won't turn the flashdrive into the authorities. Having another flashback to when he asked to see Amanda but Black refused, only showing her photos from the strip club. David reminds him of that now. David tells Jack about the meeting and the flashdrive, which Nolan has and so will need to be turned in if something happens to him. It's always a mistake to tell Jack anything, cos lately he's too much into the 'do gooder' mode, at least ever since he wore that uniform.
Ben leaves Emily a voicemail about wanting to see her and Margaux overhears and now thinks that he didn't believe her cos he's dating Emily. Then passes out. She's given the all clear at the hospital but Victoria comes in, in blabbing mode and reveals all about Emily being Amanda. Which Ben overhears. No one in this show can keep their mouths shut, at least not the insignificant characters. I mean Margaux overhears Ben, he overhears Victoria, in a public place, where's the privacy.
At the dinner, Nolan tells Emily that Louise is in the bathroom and she walks in on her talking to herself which sends her pills flying out of the bottle. She tells her it's Xanax to calm her and Emily keeps a pill. At the table, she begins to have hallucinations and sees her mother again, telling her she's a waste, after Louise told Lyman they don't want to talk about his political agenda. Her father died from a fall down the stairs, so who killed him then, Louise? Well wouldn't put it past her, since everyone's forgotten she tried to kill Victoria and Nolan also mentions the incident with Margaux in the steamroom. She lashes out and strikes Nolan, as she's led away. Emily and Nolan later tell her she's been talking pills which also contain Larium, an anti-malaria drug which causes hallucinations. She had a pill checked out. Louise thinks Lyman's behind it and also her mother, as they were prescribed by the family doctor. Who thinks Louise is behind this all along and is their mother really alive.
Emily notices her photo on the desk and Louise tells her about Victoria. She doesn't know what it's about. Victoria gets a message to meet her at the lighthouse from David. He's digging in the cave when Jack tells him he gave the flashdrive to the police and they're going to arrest him. David telling him he's made a mistake, since anyone can be bought for the right price. He tells him about having to kill a man when he wrote a letter to Amanda and he was caught. Conrad may have tried to kill him but he's just damned his soul. Black is arrested but is later released since the agent said there was nothing they could use on the flashdrive. See, Jack you should've listened. Now David's money is gone too.
Victoria turns up at the lighthouse and finds Emily sent the text. She tells her about the photo and how she's to blame for Daniel's death and she denies it. She didn't tell Kate who she was and only her money could get Black off their backs. They're both tranquilized by Black who now knows about Emily being Amanda. Now we'll have to suffer the ordeal of Emily and Victoria being held together. See these amateurs shouldn't meddle in the business of revenge cos it always backfires for them. Of course Emily will be saved and we'll probably see the dreaded Black meet his doom, cos quite frankly there's not much they can do with him and it'll be pointless dragging the story out with him.
Nolan telling Lyman not to cash his cheque, really do think Louise is unhinged and taking those pills herself, having told them it's cos her mother wants to keep her grubby hands on her father's inheritance.
