By Pablo G | Season 1 | Episode 11 | Aired on 01.04.2012
Conrad enters his office at Grayson Manor only to find Tyler sitting at his desk. Smugly, Tyler lets him know he has decided he doesn't want to work for the hedge fund anymore. Conrad gets brave and thinks Ty's evidence against him isn't incriminating, so Tyler starts describing the videos he has of Frank's attempted murder of Lydia and her conversation with Conrad about framing David. He asks Conrad to make his best offer to keep the videos out of the hands of prosecutors. Beaten, Conrad calls Ty a son of a bitch, which is entirely fair in Tyler's estimation. Tyler: "It does appear that you despicable people are starting to rub off on me." He stares down Conrad.

Victoria and Mr. Huntley walk and talk through Grayson Manor. After seeing how contested their demands are, he thinks they should be prepared for this dispute to go to trial. That's going to be a negative from Victoria. She doesn't want to risk losing her children in a nasty battle in open court. Ryan is getting frustrated with Victoria's reluctance to do whatever necessary to win this case. She had agreed she'd be willing to get her hands dirty. Being reminded of this prompts Victoria to admit she already has. She lied about being pregnant when she signed the prenup. This is news to Ryan. He asks what Conrad knows about this fake pregnancy. As far as Conrad knows, Victoria miscarried at 10 weeks. That's enough Grayson for one day, Ryan must be thinking to himself. He takes his leave of Victoria after reminding her she can't be keeping these kinds of secrets from him. The doorbell rang in the background during all of this and Emanda enters as Huntley exits. They pass each other, but Ryan doesn't notice her. Emanda definitely notices him. FLASHBACK: This is a rehash continuation of teenage Amanda confronting Ryan Huntley after hours at his office about dropping her father's appeal. She holds him just as responsible for his death as the man who stabbed David to death in prison, she says as she pulls out the infinity x infinity box. Ryan asks what it is and she explains it's all the evidence he could've used to prove David's innocence. "They got to you, didn't they?" she asks as he stares at her quizzically, "they" meaning the Graysons. /FLASHBACK. Emanda finds Victoria and asks for help tracking down the first photo ever taken of her and Daniel as a couple from Victoria's Memorial Day party. Emanda's making a scrapbook for Dan's gift. They get to talking about the joys of simple things which gives Victoria the opportunity to make a dig at the simplicity of Emanda's clambake idea. Ems responds by asking if it's OK with Victoria to invite Jack and Amily. She asks if Victoria remembers Amanda Clarke. "Vaguely," Victoria replies, the Botox draining from her face. Queen Victoria tries to project cheer and obliges Emanda's request. Ems excuses herself to go grab Daniel's squash racquet from the pool house.
