Episode Report Card Pablo G: B- | 1 USERS: A+ YOU GRADE IT The Shower

Shower. Amily's finishing up opening gifts. She opens an umbrella from Emanda with a perplexed look, but it's only an accessory for the nice stroller Ems really gifted her. Victoria's gift to Ams is a baby journal, appropriately. Inside is a check for $10,000. Amily fakes getting emotional and accepts an invitation to lie down so she and Victoria can have some privacy to talk about their agreement. While the rest of the ladies head for the conservatory for refreshments, Emanda excuses herself so she can sneak past surveillance into the restroom and guide the conversation between Am and Victoria. The problem with that is the feed keeps getting interrupted by static. Amily confronts Victoria well enough all on her own, presenting the sign-in sheet and showing that it matches the signature of the check. Victoria tries to run from the conversation, but Amily follows Emanda's order to pursue her out of the bedroom to the landing. Ams demands to know why David would lie about Kara being dead. Emanda's surveillance dies just as Victoria declares that Kara tried to kill her when she was a child. Victoria, in an agitated state, snatches for the sign-in sheet, and the struggle over it causes Amily to slip and tumble over the second-floor banister. She lands flat on her back, a pool of blood forming behind her head. Victoria screams for her maid to call 9-1-1. Amily's closed eyelids flutter and her breath comes in short labored bursts. The party comes to her aid. Ems calls for an ambulance as the new, always-positive Charlotte hilariously tells Amily to "hang in there." Yes, cracking open your skull is just like being that kitten on that poster. Victoria drops down to Amily's side on all fours, her hands resting in her blood. She raises up her hands, looks at them and then at Emanda. Blood literally on her hands.

As much shit as I've given Amily, this is fucking tragic. As EMS wheels Ams out of Grayson Manor on a stretcher, she repeatedly tells Emanda that no matter what happens they have to save the baby. She has enough of her wits about her to pass off the earwig to Ems, as well. Bravo, Amily. For real. No more stripper jokes from here on out. Maybe. Only family is allowed to accompany Ams on the ambulance, so Charlotte hops in the back with her.
Meanwhile, Jack is in mid-discussion with Mr. Ryan about failing the health inspection and being unable to pay him back. His phone rings from Emanda in one of those worst possibly-timed things that makes you look bad. Sparse on details, Ems informs Jack that his baby mama had an accident. Emanda will meet him at the hospital. Jack leaves, and it totally sounds like he's giving a bogus excuse. We linger behind to see Mr. Ryan pull out his phone and dial... Trey. They've been working together to blackmail the Porters. The health inspector was a fake, and now they believe they've cornered Jack financially. Mr. Ryan will be making an offer on the Stowaway soon.
