Aidan meets with Victoria on a mysterious, white bridge. He confides to her that Emily was seeing Aidan behind Daniel's back, then prompts Victoria to do the rest of the research herself. As soon as she gets a chance, Victoria confronts Daniel telling him that she's done some digging and discovered Emily purchased Nolan's new home.

At Nolan's gorgeous pad, he and Emily are discussing strategies, but most importantly, was Nolan wearing a scarf necklace? Odd!

In a church, Emily plays the role of priest in a confessional chamber. On the other side is Father Paul who apparently is not going to leave the Hamptons. She tells him that he must use his sway to convince Conrad to confess his sins against David Clarke. If he fails to live up to Emily's demands she will tell everyone about his connections to Grayson Global and their path of destruction.

Charlotte is acting BFFs with Margaux. Margaux invites herself to accompany Jack to Nolan's housewarming party, and Jack slowly agrees. 

At a swanky pool club, Nolan bumps into Patrick learning he's Victoria's long-lost son. Patrick goes by the name Patrick Osbourne- he's no Grayson. Nolan invites Patrick to his exclusive party.

Daniel confronts Emily angrily about buying a home for Nolan. He lets her know that he doesn't trust her relationship with Aidan. Emily apologizes for not telling him about Nolan's house purchase. Daniel accepts the apology asking that Em not give Victoria any more ammunition to use against them.

Nolan wearing the t-shirt of his own mugshot. AMAZING. (Side note: you can purchase this t-shirt online from ABC).

It's 100% bizarre that Charlotte is seemingly so calm and cool these days. She's trying to get Jack to date Margaux and move on from his pain. It's curious how she's been able to recover from her own devastating losses so quickly. And she seems to want nothing to do with Emily.

Victoria is dishing out spiteful words to Emily with a fervor. When she learns that Patrick is attending Nolan's party, Victoria warns him about getting close with Nolan.

Emily continues to stay close to Conrad- presumingly to make sure he's weakened. Just as Emily is sitting with Conrad, Father Paul appears at Grayson Manor.

When Nolan's party finally kicks off, it's poppin'.

Daniel is having a hard time sharing the reigns of the magazine with Margaux. He calls her out about a business decision and in response she said, "If I wanted a man to boss me around, I would have worked for my father."

In private, Conrad confesses to the Father that seeing Charlotte's reaction to his misdeeds, he saw himself as a monster and "welcomes death now". Father encourages him to repent his sins and come clean before dying. 

The Father asks him if he's thought about turning himself in. 

38 minutes into the episode, Victoria walks past Nolan's pool flaunting Aiden on her arm like arm candy! Daniel confronts her saying Aiden stole their family's fortune, begging to know what on earth she's doing with Aiden on her arm. As Daniel fights with Victoria, Emily banters with Aiden- it seems sincerely uncomfortable, but remains unclear if it's for real. This seems like a deeply seeded Emily/Aiden plot.

Emily and Victoria get into a heated exchange at the party. By the end, others are listening intently as Emily says, "Surely Aiden of all people should know the Graysons are completely bankrupt!" Victoria is surely embarassed and leaves with Aiden. Emily and Daniel discuss Aiden's appearance in a heated exchange on the beach.

Emily phones Father Paul and asks what happened with Conrad. "If Conrad doesn't come forward, I will," he says. He asks Emily for her forgiveness, saying he does not want her to lose herself. She agrees to forgive him, but she is silently crying and seems upset.

Margaux and Daniel fight in their office- She storms out saying she knows there is a story to tell and she's going to do it.

Jack and Emily exchange terse words at the Stowaway. Emily's outfits are incredible throughout this entire episode. Did Jack have Botox in his face? WTF? He and Margaux seem to have a romantic interest in each other. 

Victoria and Aiden meet for a private convo/meal. Victoria looks younger and younger and it's quite disturbing. Victoria tells Aidan that their shared instincts about Emily Thorne are accurate. She is upset to see Page Six has published a story entitled, "Graysons Bankrupt". Victoria pledges that together she and Aiden will take Em down.

Daniel appears at Em's beach house to install an alarm system. Daniel requires Em to have this new safety measure saying that on election night he found Aiden in Em's house and shot him.

Overlooking the ocean, Conrad tells Victoria that he wants to come clean with his children before he dies. Conrad asks Victoria what's been stopping her confession for so long. Conrad reminds Victoria that she was always in love with David Clarke. Just as she's slapping Conrad across the face and chasing him down the stairs, Father Paul appears in the doorway, presumably there to accompany Conrad as he testifies.

"If you get in that car, I swear it will be the last thing you do!" shouts Victoria while running barefoot onto her front porch. Conrad and Father Paul drive off together.

Alone on the wet sand beach, Emily works on a sketch as Aiden approaches her from behind. She scolds him for telling Victoria about their relationship. But it is immediately clear that they have been in cahoots the whole time. Aiden says that Emily reached out to him, indicating that she really needed his help. She asks where he was shot and he shows her a scar above his heart. She touches her hand to his skin tenderly, then apologizes. She says goodbye, and walks away from Aiden on the beach.

While driving away through the darkness, Emily sees an accident on the side of the road. Next to the flaming car she finds a dead Father Paul!! Emily is horrified. While surveying the scene, Conrad walks up to her seeming at somewhat crazy.
