Amanda (Emily VanCamp) speaks with her lawyer, Lawrence Stamberg (Tom Amandes) who tells her what they will argue, that they used her interview against her. He shows her a photo of Victoria's (Madeleine Stowe) handwriting and she says it's hers, they'll say she forged it to look like it has discrepancies in it. But he believes the best course of action is for her to plea guilty to a lesser charge. She insists she will never plead guilty to this and so she shouldn't. She didn't kill her or anyone else. But she's rich, she should get off like the wealthy do! Nolan (Gabriel Mann) meets with Jack (Nick Wechsler) and David (James Tupper) at court and asks how he is doing. Nolan shows them where he's found Mason (Roger Bart) at some trailer park and Jack wonders what he's doing using a limo. Nolan wasn't getting any results until he typed in scum and traitorous. At court the prosecution argues that she should not be granted bail after her TV interview and the things she said. Her lawyer says that she was trying to clear her innocent father's name. The judge sets bail at $2 million and if she violates this, she'll be back behind bars.
Margaux (Karine Vanasse) isn't happy with the newspaper headlines and says they should read, 'alleged killer...' Louise (Elena Satine) tells her she has made the funeral arrangements and she wants her to read a Robert Frost poem, what, The Road Not Taken, cos that's what Victoria and Margaux took, the one that's been trampled on plenty for bad deeds. Margaux replies she'll just burst out crying. Well more likely cos she's guilty of framing her and Victoria is still alive, as I said in the last review. She wouldn't kill herself, she's not that far gone and she said it herself when she sent that video to Emily. That she got the idea from her flashdrive. Oh what, she couldn't think of it herself! Louise also says the concierge won't let her into Victoria's penthouse where she feels comfortable. The executor's closed off the place. Margaux tells her that Charlotte (Christa B Allen) did it. She sees her and tells her Charlotte should have something that reminds her of her mother, but Charlotte doesn't want anything. She was dead to her the first time she left and that's news to Louise. She won't go to the funeral, Louise still harping on about Victoria being her mother figure.
Ben (Brian Hallisay) puts the ankle monitor on Amanda and he wanted this assignment cos he knows the property and so if she steps one foot off it, she's going back. He knows her and that she's already thinking of a way out. Clearly he doesn't know her as well as he thinks he does cos he believes she's guilty. Amanda tells Nolan that they have to get Mason to confess and Nolan comes up with a plan to short circuit the power so that she can slip out of her monitor and substitute a different one at a different frequency. Jack comes by and they talk. She tells him how Nolan told her he was leaving and she ran to the airport wanting him to stay. She still wants him to stay. He didn't know that Victoria could do this, but Amanda knows she had help. But Jack is so wrong, doesn't he know she killed Aiden at the very least, Amanda knows she did. They are about to kiss when Nolan interrupts and says that he can remove the monitor, but she has a limited amount of time.
David sees what Amanda is doing but she doesn't want him to be complicit in this. David says he'll find Mason himself but she won't hear of it! The lights go out and she slaps the monitor on his wrist and leaves. Now he'll have to stay behind. Jack visits Margaux at her favourite lunch place and even after Amanda told him not to. He tells her she was set up but she doesn't want to hear it. Of course not, she can't hide behind the lies with a straight face! He feels it wasn't a perfect death and Amanda wouldn't have been so clumsy. Margaux leaves and Jack notices the town car she called for has a similar number plate to the one in the photo, which he later tells David about.
Ben drops by and tells David of an increased number of burglar alarms going off, David tells him Amanda's upstairs. The monitor needs to reset and will do so automatically at 9, which is why he's here. It's 9 now and it goes off on his wrist. Amanda gets to the trailer park and breaks in but everything's neat and tidy inside, with his slippers on the bed and champagne bottles. She asks his neighbour if they've seen him and he says he went off with some woman in big shades in a car. The police arrive and she can't run away. Would've been futile anyway since they know she's not home. Also as I said before, she was a little sloppy as Amanda, Emily wouldn't have had that problem and also a little complacent.
Nolan sees Louise coming out of Victoria's bedroom and he tells her Amanda was framed. She's fooling herself believing that Victoria was her guardian angel. That Victoria wasn't the only one who cared about her, he did too. She tells him to get out. Victoria was using her and Louise's blind faith to believe everything that happened to her. Yeah once again Victoria playing helpless Vic here, or rather more hapless! Oh sorry no pun here, by Vic I meant Victim, not short for Victoria! ha.
David visits her in jail and she tells him about Mason. Also that Victoria is still alive and that's what Amanda would do. As we get a flashback to the last ep and Victoria telling Amanda about how she got the idea from her. He tells her about Margaux's car and she needs five minutes alone with her. At that point David falls to the floor in pain. Nolan says they don't have his results back yet and meets Jack at the bus stop. He's waiting for a friend, Daryl (Drew Rausch) who Jack saved on the obstacle course at the academy. He heads to the jewellers as Margaux buys an expensive necklace for the funeral. Who was that for, her or Victoria. She leaves the alarm goes off and Daryl stops her, wanting to look in her bag. She refuses but he insists and he finds a pair of earrings in there. She doesn't know how they got there and hits him in anger. Jack pays off Daryl.
Margaux is thrown in a cell and rants about wanting her lawyer. Amanda from the next cell, tells her that it's a wrong time to be here. She breaks open the door and gets into her cell, saying they've got eleven minutes and she won't need the last four minutes to do what she needs. She demands to know whose body was in her house and throws down the contraptions she said she learned how to make after her time in jail. Margaux so deserved the steel sandwich on her cheekbones! ha. Louise is raiding Victoria's closet and finds a dress in a garment holder. Then finds the hoodie the assailant wore when attacking Victoria.
Amanda tells Ben everything about Victoria being alive and she used the DB of Mary Gaines which was unclaimed. Then used her dental records too. Margaux attacked her in the garage and made it look like it was her. Ben doesn't believe her cos she's not capable of telling the truth and she's only hurting those who care for her. He leaves. Louise comes in with the hoodie and Ben looks in the surveillance photo to see it's the same one. So you're telling me Margaux didn't leave behind a stray hair or any of her sweat in the hoodie, that forensics could find. But conveniently, they found all the evidence Mason planted in Amanda's car as belonging to Victoria. Louise sees Margaux and tells her about the hoodie and that she's doubting Victoria. That Nolan was at the penthouse, thus Margaux telling her he probably planted this. Margaux makes a call and we know who that's to.
David tells Amanda his prognosis gives him at least six months to live. Amanda promises to help him and makes him promise that they'll fight it. Ben follows this up and finds Mary's DB isn't in the morgue. He turns up at her house. Inside he finds Victoria coming out of the bath and the assassin, White Gold (Courtney Love) stabs him. What did he want, another promotion, going there alone.
We know Victoria was never dead and cos this was the final season, they brought her out of hiding sooner than later. Margaux is just as bad as her and the way she thinks it's easy to play with peoples' lives and in such a way. Always knew she was bad news. Did she really believe she was helping Victoria or was she deluded into getting Amanda back for Pascal.
Actually, my scenario, Amanda would go to jail and David would spend his time getting his revenge on everyone who put her there; after recovering. Could get a whole season out of that! Ha. Almost done now and I think they did exhaust their possibilities of where the show was heading, that's why they had no choice but to end it.
Only hoping Victoria gets caught for killing Aiden and Margaux both end up in prison together, just desserts and retribution for what David and Amanda had to endure! But I want Amanda to have her happy ending with her father. They deserve it!
