At the Stowaway, Ashley has pulled up the Wikipedia page on the Stoddards. None of the info therein gives them any clues as to why Conrad would be meeting with Alison. Jack doubts they're having an affair. "Is she even his type?" Jack wonders aloud. "She's a woman," Ash deadpans. The only way they can get any answers is if Ash could manage to get some alone time with Conrad. Ew. Not for that. She says he has a tell that gives him away when he's lying. Jack looks down at the candid photos on his phone of Conrad's rendezvous with Alison and thinks he has an idea of how Ashley can get that face time with her former boss.
Nolan comes home to Casa Emily, glowing from his victory. "Truth be told, you throw me a token and jump me in front of Street Fighter and I turn into Bruce frickin' Lee!" Nolan confides as he suddenly busts out a Fist of Fury pose. While Emanda hurries about her bedroom getting dressed to go to Conrad's interview, Nolan rattles on about how he's not so effective against flesh-and-blood enemies and about how clever the Falcon's "Victor Victoria" gag was for protecting her identity. That identity won't last much longer, Ems says. She'll be texting Nolan an IP address from the site of the interview just before they go live. The fireworks are about to start, y'all.
Sitting in a coffee shop, the Falcon grows frustrated fielding Victoria's concerns over the phone. She assures the Queen that there's no way anyone can prove that she had a baby -- not even the baby. The conversation sounds very much like any millennial answering computer questions from a parent. "Yes, mom, you can buy things on Amazon and they won't steal your money. Yes, I'm sure, mom." As she repeatedly insists there's nothing to worry about, the Falcon plugs in Nolan's flash drive and runs a virus check on it before mounting the drive. Just a nitpick, but I'm pretty sure the world's best hacker would never plug in a rival hacker's flash drive into their personal machine without using it on another machine first or setting up some safeguards.
Victoria hangs up the phone and jumps straight into a FLASHBACK: Teenaged Victoria is at the same park with the same dean of admissions. She's been given a two-year full scholarship to art school in Paris along with a plane ticket. There's only one ticket, she notices. Well, they're certainly not giving out scholarships and plane tickets to six-month-old bastard children, Vicki. The realization that she has a choice to make sinks in as the dean laughs and suggests the baby's parents can just find another nanny. /FLASHBACK.
