Reckoning
Emily screams for Daniel. She's made it appear that someone has broken into the house and ransacked the place. Daniel immediately goes to check his briefcase and finds it empty. He asks what did Emily see and she describes the White Haired Man. Daniel goes to New York to tell his father about all the evidence being stolen. Conrad says that isn't the first time the White Haired Man has been in Emily's house. He shows the video of Emily and Daniel sleeping that Emily actually sent him. Conrad calls his security and has them search the Grayson Manor.
Emily takes a hard drive and plugs it up to her laptop. Of course the information is password protected and of course Emily calls Nolan, who isn't answering his phone. She goes over to his house when she sees an incoming call from Jack. She doesn't answer. He leaves a message that he wants to talk about last night. (You know, when they made out over the still warm body of a dead dog. Ick.)
Emily notices Nolan's door is slightly ajar and she cautiously goes inside. On the coffee table is a lap top with a live feed going on. On the screen is a note saying "Call my cell phone or I die." When Emily calls the White Haired Man (WHM from now on) pulls the note aside and we can see poor bloody Nolan handcuffed in the background. Emily tells WHM that Nolan isn't the one he wants, it is her. She wants to settle their business face to face.
She meets WHM and tells him she has the Grayson evidence linking WHM and his associates with terrorists organizations, so take her to Nolan. WHM makes Emily chloroform herself. It is no big surprise when she comes to to find herself chained to the wall next to Nolan. WHM threatens to slice and dice Nolan unless Emily tells him where the evidence is. Its all in a locker at the - darn, I forgot - bus depot, but he'd better hurry. Emily claims she's rigged an email to be sent to the authorities telling everything. He's got one hour.
After he leaves Emily uses her mouth to pull something out of the fabric of her sleeve. Ah, clever. She frees herself and Nolan, telling him where the evidence really is hidden and for him to go and get it to the Feds. She, however, is staying in the dungeon of doom.
At the prep school Declan and Yonkers (I forget her name) run into Charlotte. Charlotte is actually nice to them both. Declan and I both are wondering what she's really up to. Later Charlotte imitates her mother and calls a private investigator, hiring him to learn everything he can about Yonkers, claiming the student is bullying Charlotte.
Jack goes into New York to personally return the $1,000,000 check to Daniel. After he leaves Ashley walks up and hints to Daniel that Jack is no straight and narrow guy. When Daniel asks what she means, Ashley says it involves Emily as well so he should ask her for the full story. Oh Ashley, you bitch.
Nolan leaves the Grayson evidence in the trunk of the SEC agent. Conrad asks Lydia to marry him.
Emily sits patiently with a big silver axe. (Really, Ems? An axe? That's your choice of weapon?) When WHM returns they tussle briefly and she quickly loses the axe. There's more fighting and finally Emily gets him down on the ground. Using the axe she slowly presses it across his throat. Then wouldn't you know it we get one of those annoying flashbacks to her childhood where her beloved father asks his little girl to never lose her pure heart. Back to the present Emily releases WHM and leaves him alive. WTF???????? Boo.
Victoria and the SEC (whoops, that came out SEX the first time) agent discuss the evidence. He informs Victoria that Conrad had hired someone to kill David Clarke in the prison. Emily returns home and Daniel confronts her about kissing Jack. Emily admits she did kiss him and returns her engagement ring.
The WHM goes to Conrad's office to tell him he needs to get out of town since the feds have the evidence. As WHM is walking around the office he picks up the picture frame that Emily has hidden the camera in. She's watching on her laptop. The WHM winks into the camera. Score one for him. See, this is what happens when you leave your enemies alive, Ems.
Charlotte spreads news to the student body that Yonkers once had an affair with her history teacher at her previous school. Declan is disgusted with Charlotte.
Emily goes to see Jack, planning to tell him everything, only to have Amanda - a pregnant Amanda - show up as well. How did she get away from the Japanese guy? Ashley goes to see how Daniel is doing since the breakup. It's obvious she's going to go after him. Oh Ashley, why is your unimportant character still on this show?
Victoria has talked Lydia into flying with her to Washington D.C. on a private plane and testify against Conrad. What no one notices is a white haired man working around the bottom of the plane. I get the feeling Conrad knows what is going to happen to the women and he's okay with it. Finally a decent song is playing during this slo-mo scene. I am just not a real fan of this show's soundtrack. Charlotte, who is feeling guilty over what she did to Yonkers, hears a breaking news report about the plane blowing up and her mother possibly being dead. She tries to reach out to Declan but he curtly orders her to never call him again. In despair, Charlotte OD's.
Nolan, who goes to console Emily over Amanda being back, finds he has to console her as well for the evidence on the plane being blown up. Not so fast. Nolan being Nolan made a back up of the contents on the hard drive. One of the things he found on it was a video from a security camera with Victoria, Conrad and WHM talking. Victoria says she knows the truth about David Clarke's wife, the one who supposedly died in 1990. Emily's mother is really alive. I figured there would be more about her. During the fight between Ems and WHM he complements her fighting skills and says she must have gotten it from her mother, like he knew her.
