The party has died down. Daniel and Amanda sit at a table alone. He tells bad jokes; she drinks. Typical first encounter/date. Amanda teases that she's just tipsy enough to find the last joke funny and Daniel admits he hasn't been drinking because he used to drink "epically." Daniel: "I gotta admit, it's nice meeting someone who didn't know the old me." Amanda: "Yeah, I know the feeling." Victoria and Conrad walk up on the beginnings of this romance to tell Daniel they're leaving. Victoria is cordial to Amanda and sternly lets Daniel know she expects him home shortly. The Graysons leave, and Amanda parts ways with Daniel.
Back at Grayson Manor, Queen Victoria is fuming through the house and up the stairs with Conrad following, saying Victoria shouldn't have been so cruel to Lydia and trying to explain himself. Victoria isn't hearing it because out of all the women he could've had he chose her closest friend. They close themselves in a bed room, and for no other reason than to give us some backstory it seems, turn the fight into an argument about who was more responsible for the destruction of David Clarke. Conrad seems to win that argument with the final word that Victoria gained the most from it.
Nolan sits alone outside at a table that might be outside his mansion (there are weird statues of dolphins behind him), watching video of the party on his iPad. He somehow managed to catch Daniel and his friend about to do coke before Amanda bumped into Daniel, complete with audio. Nolan's interrupted by a phone call from Jack about selling his boat. They hang up after coming to an agreement and Jack is left sad with only Sammy to give him comfort. Nolan, meanwhile, notices Amanda in the video, pauses it and stretch zooms his iPad on her face. He smirks to himself.
