Fortress of Solitude. Jack hands the tape over to Nolan. When Nolan jokes about being Jack's personal Geek Squad, Jack admits Nolan has been a really good friend to him and he appreciates it. Nolan levels with him, asking why he wants to watch the tape. Jack figures reality can't be worse than his imagination. If he's going to let her go, he has to know the truth. Nolan thinks for a second, then bypasses erasing the tape and plays the real thing for him. It's little Amanda talking about Victoria's affair with David. She's begging Mason to find Victoria to get help for David. The video ends, and Nolan softly tells Jack he's sorry. Jack is in a complete daze. He gets up and leaves.
Conrad and Charlotte sit in the study at Grayson Manor. Conrad apologizes for taking out his frustrations on her. He claims he just wants her to end up tough enough to handle whatever might happen. Charlottes asks if he remembers when she got dumped at her sweet sixteen party. She was hiding in her room from all her friends when he told her to let her friends wait, staying with her and telling her jokes to make her laugh. He admits her laugh is his favorite sound in the world. Char says she's not afraid of anything as long as she has him. They hug. Ems sees this from the next room. She immediately goes and snags the package. Victoria happens to bump into her at that exact moment and causes her to drop it. Victoria picks it up first, but Ems snatches it back, claiming it's a DVD from another wedding planner. Crisis averted
Jack shows up at Amily's motel room again, and keeps banging on the door while she sits inside, crying. He tells her he knows everything and doesn't blame her. Amily can't handle it anymore. She dials Emanda and demands to know why she let him watch the tape. This is news to Ems. She tries to express as much to Amily, but Amily is done listening to her. Amily says she's going after him herself and hangs up. At that moment, Grandpa Grayson snatches Emanda's phone and guides her back to the party since she's being rude. Back at the motel, Amily runs outside after Jack's truck and stops out of breath.

Grayson Manor. Dan finishes up the story of the night of their engagement. Conversation turns to Emanda. Grandpa thinks Ems reminds him a lot of Victoria. That gets a jaw clench from the queen. Suddenly, Jack shows up and interrupts everything. He's super pissed and pushing past all the servants. He confronts Victoria about her affair with David. When Victoria plays dumb, Jack pulls out the cassette tape to back up his claims. He threatens to reveal the truth about Victoria if she continues spreading lies about Amanda. He leaves. Dan jumps to his mother's defense, and asks her to admit she was raped. That prompts Conrad to jumps in and reveals Victoria is just covering her ass. He sees an opportunity to control the damage of a revelation to Charlotte, and breaks the news to her that David Clarke is really her father. She's absolutely crushed. Charlotte turns to her mother who has no words at all. Charlotte gets up from the table and runs out. Victoria instantly turns to Conrad, declaring she'll never forgive him for this. Daniel is still hopelessly loyal, so Conrad declares the truth about it not being a rape -- that Victoria had an ongoing affair. Dan asks his mom if this is the truth. Completely defeated, Victoria just gets up from the table and walks away. Emanda watches all of this unfold with her eyes welling up with tears.
