Defeated, Conrad sips from a tumbler and stares out of a window in his study. Victoria enters the room, and without her saying a word or him having to turn around, Conrad knows it's his wife. He commends her on opting not to give Daniel the full truth. Conrad thinks Daniel's ambition will bring him crashing down soon enough. He turns around to finish his thought and is greeted by a swift slap in the face from Victoria. "What was that for?" he asks. "Take your pick," Victoria hisses before walking out.
With Matt's big, bloody handprint on his shirt, Jack cleans up the bar alone. He bends down to put away a glass, and we see the Ryan brothers staring in through the window behind him. They enter the bar and offer feigned concern over the incident earlier. Nate commends Jack for being a good Samaritan -- the type who probably knows when not to get involved. They ask if Matt said anything about who jumped him. Jack lies, saying he claimed to get attacked from behind. Nate pulls out Carl's old address book and slaps it on the bar, then tells Jack to sleep tight before the Ryans walk out. Veiled threats! Amily comes downstairs to ask what all the noise is about, but Jack is frantically leafing through the address book. He finds Matt's name crossed out in red. Jack tells Amily to lock the doors.
Burning midnight oil at Nolcorp, Nolan finishes up signing the contracts that relinquish majority control of the company to Grayson Global with Padma present. She apologizes for bringing this upon them, but Nolan assures her that he's got a contingency plan that will bring down Daniel from inside the castle walls of Grayson Global. Marco barges in, but Nolan waves Padma off on her instinct to call security. Awkwardly, Nolan explains that he's planning to find Marco a position in the company.
Casa Emily. Aiden brings Ems a glass of wine on the couch. She asks Aiden if he thinks that people like them can ever be happy. He figures they can't ever entirely be happy, but right now, here with her, he feels more at peace than he's ever been. Emanda lunges at him, and instead of laying a passionate kiss on him, she simply places her head on his chest and curls up close. I was wrong earlier. That's the sweetest moment we've had between these two cold-blooded agents of revenge.
