That's because she has a meeting with Mr. McGowan from the S.E.C. Victoria sits in her parked car until McGowan pulls up alongside it. He hops into the passenger seat. Victoria demands to know why Conrad isn't already in prison. It's because they found no physical evidence at Grayson Global's corporate office to support her claim. That's not good enough for the queen. Victoria declares she's more than capable and determined than they are to find the evidence she knows her husband stashed away.
Stowaway. Jack is already vehemently rejecting a check Daniel holds in his hand, obviously trying to buy Jack's cooperation. He wants no part of the Graysons' blood money. Daniel knows enough about Jack to come up with a great selling point. Think of all the good Jack can do with that money. He can go to Haiti like he planned, support the bar or go after Amily. Before he leaves, Daniel puts the check down on a table and asks Jack to think again about his offer. During all of this, Jack is attending to Sammy, who lies listless on the floor. He's not drinking or eating. Shit, I'm sorry for calling him a time-traveling dog. I'm sorry!
Victoria arrives at Conrad's penthouse. Out in the foyer she notices Dominik's fake de Kooning painting. She compliments Conrad on his taste and how he looks. Conrad, as Victoria removes her coat to reveal her dress, replies: "And you look like a demonic succubus." He accuses her of sending the S.E.C. after him, but Victoria denies it. She explains she's there because Charlotte's doctor has requested family therapy. Conrad says he wouldn't miss that for the world as he pours two drinks. When Victoria reaches for one, Conrad coolly says it's not for her. Cue Lydia in a robe and slippers. She asks Conrad with an air of superiority what Victoria's doing there. He excludes Victoria in conversation and ventures to guess she's using their children in some sort of plot. Conrad turns to Victoria and tells her to leave. He and Lydia smugly sip from their tumblers in unison.
Declan comes back to the Stowaway with a curly-haired girl from school. She comes off sarcastic and adventurous while Declan simply wants to wallow in the economics project they've been assigned together. After a few failed attempts at lifting Dec's spirits, the girl -- who says she's from Yonkers -- gives up and agrees to sit to do homework. Declan stares at her curiously.
