By Pablo G | Season 1 | Episode 4 | Aired on 10.12.2011
Nightfall in the Hamptons. Emanda sits at home at a candlelit dinner table, trying to get a hold of Daniel, but she just gets his voicemail. She's officially worried, she says. There's a knock at the door and... it's Jack! He has flowers (!) and Sammy. Let's see: candlelit table, dinner ready, flowers -- Jack and Emily sitting in a tree! Never mind Jack going back to the "Sammy did this" joke well to explain the flowers, this is a dream come true for Emanda. Jack tries to excuse himself when he notices the set table, but Emanda seizes the opportunity and invites him in for wine. Later, they clink glasses and Emanda asks about his future plans. He's decided not to sell the Stowaway. When pressed further by Emanda, Jack says he is just hoping to find a good reason not to leave. They look into each other's eyes and take another sip of their wine. Cue Daniel creeping up to Emanda's window and spotting his lady love with another man. He turns and walks away.

It's mother-daughter tea charity whatever time. It's a beautiful, sunny day at this outdoor event. Victoria finds Michelle and compliments her on the narration she did for her upcoming video presentation. Two ladies walk up to them and get an introduction from Victoria, but it's unnecessary because they're patients of Dr. Banks as well. Victoria excuses herself to pull out her phone and call Charlotte in distress because she expects to have her daughter by her side at, you know, a mother-daughter event. Just as her phone call is about to get really far into "don't disappoint me" territory, Charlotte shows up behind her looking very much the part of the perfect daughter. Victoria melts into a genuine smile and hugs her daughter.
In the audio/video tent, Ashley is freaking out because she can't find the DVD with Michelle's presentation. Ashley wouldn't be onscreen if Emanda wasn't going to show up. She calms Ashley down and suggests looking in the DVD player. Voila! The disc is in there and this seemingly trivial crisis is averted. Emanda turns to leave and spots Nolan in the distance recklessly driving a golf cart, hair blowing in the two mile-per-hour wind. I think I'm ready to love Nolan, guys, but I've been hurt by eccentric millionaire CEOs before. Emanda assures Ashley she'll handle Nolan and make sure he doesn't screw anything up.
She steps in front of Nolan's golf cart and he barely stops in time. Emanda bitches about Nolan giving Jack ideas and involving him in any of this. Nolan shrugs it off because he heard they had a wonderful dinner last night. He ends up in full slime mode: "Nice to know you can let your guard down once in a while." He leans forward against the golf cart steering wheel to perfectly add, "Who knew you could cook?" Oh, Nolan, I don't normally do this on the first date, but take me! Victoria begins introducing the event from the stage. Nolan gets out of his cart to get a better view. "Correct me if I'm wrong, but do I detect the distinct aroma of retribution in the air?" He starts to eagerly walk toward the stage, but Emanda stops him: "Ahp... mothers and daughters only." She leaves him behind.
