Fortress of Solitude. Emanda and Nolan sit together on his couch, staring at his laptop. They're encrypting a video of Emanda and Daniel in bed together. Naturally, this makes Nolan a bit uncomfortable. Nolan: "This is getting kinkier and creepier by the minute." Don't talk to us about kinky, Nolan. He asks what this is for. Ems wants Nolan to anonymously email the video to Conrad. He'll view it as a threat against his sole heir from WHM. "You may be a lot of things -- black belt in karate, impeccable dresser and certified sociopath, but you're not a killer," Nolan points out. What if WHM kills her first? It's a risk Ems is willing to take. She orders Nolan to send the video.

Establishing shot of a snowy Central Park. Lydia arrives home at Conrad's pad carrying shopping bags and on the phone with him. They muse at the thought of a designer offering to make a wedding dress for Lydia since the designer somehow got the impression they might be headed for the altar. Conrad awkwardly suggests it's not a bad idea as his computer chimes with an email. The spy video of Ems and Dan in bed comes up on his screen. Immediately, he tells Lydia he has to call her back. Meanwhile, Emanda watches Conrad's reaction on her own laptop. He reaches for his phone and dials WHM. Conrad doesn't let him speak more than a greeting before rattling off an address for them to meet to settle things lest Conrad unleash his own contingency plan. Ems scribbles down the address, tears the paper from her notepad and gathers her things to head to the spot. Just as she grabs her coat, Ashley and Daniel come through the front door. As if wedding planning isn't hell enough, now it's encroaching on murder. Ems falls back on her go-to excuse: the landmark committee. She's got a meeting she has to get to, she says. That might normally work, but no landmark committee takes precedent over fairly solid plans that involve a wedding. Daniel stares down Emanda, asserting this. She's stuck.
Close-up on the check Daniel gave Jack. It's for a million dollars. Even Nolan gets the vapors looking at it. He knows the Graysons aren't messing around. Jack says he's thinking about keeping the money and using it to set up a charity... maybe share the charity with Emanda. Nolan is onboard for Jack cashing it because he thinks that if Jack doesn't, the Graysons might go to greater lengths to get his silence. Nolan's phone rings and he excuses himself to take a call from Emanda. She's a frantic mess. If Nolan really wants to prove his dedication to David Clarke, now's his chance. Emanda brings him up to speed that she's stuck at home with Daniel and they need to track WHM at his meeting with Conrad. Just as Ems finishes explaining this to Nolan, Daniel comes into the bedroom, demanding to know what's going on. Ems ends the phone call by pretending to give an excuse for missing the landmark meeting and giving the address Conrad gave WHM. She hangs up and walks out of the room past Daniel.
