Tyler arrives at the Stowaway and apologizes to Daniel for belittling his job and need for money before. What better way to celebrate his first day on the job than with shots? Daniel eventually gives in to the idea. While he's grabbing some top shelf liquor, Ty slips some drugs into Dan's glass.
Back at the party, Dec spots Charlotte trapped in a conversation with some snooty old people. He pulls out his phone and pretends to be having a heated conversation about Asian markets being in a tailspin as he runs into Charlotte. He poses business questions to the old couple and then turns his attention to Charlotte, effectively warding off the aged ones and saving the day. Charlotte asks, "Asian markets?" Dec sheepishly admits he read "the Journal" on the way over to the party. Then, he launches into a speech about not being able to compete with any of this rich people stuff. He has no money and he probably never will. Charlotte's smile grows through the whole spiel. When he's done, Charlotte just says, "I'm rich. You're not. Who cares?" I think these kids are going to be all right. Elsewhere at the party, Nolan comments to Jack that his brother moves quicker than him. The devil's advocate thing finally works and Jack walks off to go talk to Emanda. She's surprised to see him and asks if Nolan dragged him out there. No, it was all his idea, he says. He asks if there's somewhere private they can go to talk. Emanda looks like a deer in headlights.
Dan is starting to feel the effects of the drugs Tyler slipped him. He spills a drink and generally looks like he's about to fall over. Tyler jumps up to the rescue and helps Daniel off to the side of the bar so he can take a seat, and chalks it up to all the stress and pressure Daniel's recently been under. Bartender Bull notices Daniel off on the sidelines and asks what's going on. Ty asks if there's somewhere they can take Daniel where he can lie down. The two men help Daniel up.
Jack has dragged Emanda away from the party down to the dock behind Grayson Manor. Fireworks light up the night sky. The stage is perfectly set for a romantic moment. Jack tells Emanda that ever since he first saw her there's been something he couldn't quite put his finger on until now. He actually puts his finger down on the railing as he says this. He then goes off on a long, ill-advised boat metaphor, but his heart's in the right place. Emanda's face looks like it's ready to potentially net you ten times the roll of the dice if you also own The Electric Company. Jack looks into Emanda's face for an answer. Though it obviously pains her to say it, she tells Jack she's the wrong girl and she's seeing Daniel. Jack says he knows the circumstance, but this feeling only comes around once or twice in a lifetime and he needs to know if he's alone in feeling this way. Emanda's eyes well up. She says she's so sorry. Jack apologizes and leaves. Emanda turns to face the ocean and lightly sobs.
