Bill Harmon is showing Emanda around his office building and takes her into his personal office, talking about his history investing for Grayson and trying to convince her to take some calculated risks with her money. She instead calculates that Bill will log into his computer to show her proof of his track record when she pretends to be unconvinced of his predictive abilities. She locks her eyes onto his nametag, then his keyboard and computer screen has he logs in. He shows her charts which depict positive growth for his investors and then shows a confidential list of his top investors. Emanda asks for a copy of the list, but Bill declines, citing confidentiality for clients being one of the perks of investing with him. Emanda says she's been given a lot to think about while Bill plays with his dice and smiles an evil Wall Street smile.
Down on a street that is probably not Wall Street, Lydia Davis is picked up by Frank in a black town car. She thanks Frank for picking her up on a street corner like a prostitute. Good ol' Lydia. I'm going to miss her when she leaves the Hamptons. She hops into the backseat where Conrad is on the phone with someone at his office. He tells the person on the phone he'll return calls when he gets back, which gives Lydia the perfect opportunity to snipe at Conrad about not returning her phone calls. He understands she's upset. Lydia corrects Conrad. She's not upset, she's ruined. She hands over a manila folder with the spy photos Emanda snapped of Lydia and Conrad's affair. Lydia's husband ended up with the photos, which means Lydia now gets nothing in the divorce. Conrad doesn't see how he can help this situation, but Lydia does. She asks him to write her a big check.
Emanda is walking out of Harmon's office building when she gets a call from her realtor. The beach house sold to someone else. Emanda's in shock at the prospect of something going so wrong in her well-oiled machine of a plan. Who could have outbid her?
Poor Porter Bar. Dec walks in on Jack and is pissed about the boat not being there for him earlier. Jack is in no mood to hear teenage bitching when he's dealing with grown-up problems.

He explains that he sold his boat to raise money to save the bar and Carl overhears. He tells Jack to cancel the sale and is pissed that Jack went over his head to do something like that. Carl's the captain of the family, he reminds Jack before retiring to his office. Dec apologizes to Jack for being an ignorant brat as Jack gets a call from Nolan. He side-buttons it.
