Stowaway. Amily is all dressed up and walking out to go to Grayson Manor when she runs into Jack, who's arriving home unexpectedly early. Amily lies about going baby shopping with Emanda. She dodges a bullet because Jack says he can be counted out of those plans, but she should thank Ems for him. He feels like that's all he's been doing lately. That odd statement gives Ams pause. As she leaves, a random man enters and asks if Jack knows Declan. The man has Dec's ID card and says they need to talk. Jack just can't catch a break.
Preparations are underway for media day at Grayson Manor. Despite being banned, Ems is there under the guise of telling Ashley that a news van is blocking a driveway. Amily has made it in, as planned, under the guise of being press. Dan runs into Ems, so she takes the opportunity to highlight the fact that she's been banned from the house by Victoria. Just then, a security guard brings over a letter that just arrived at the gate. It's wrapped around Victoria's forged passport, and says, "Faking your death and disappearing didn't work. Let's do the death part for real this time." It must suck finding out your mother faked her death and kidnapping like that. He's understandably livid. He tells Ems it confirms every terrible thought he's had about his mother. So then it also must confirm she was a bitch for not letting him go to the Kanye concert when he was 17.

Dec comes home, asking what the emergency is. Jack introduces him to Mr. Ryan who has his ID card and was recently robbed by the owner of said ID card. If Dec gives back what they took, Mr. Ryan won't press charges. Jack thanks Mr. Ryan and offers to be of service to him for anything. Creepy Mr. Ryan: "You know what, barkeep? I'm gonna hold you to that." Blackmail forthcoming.
Amily surprises Charlotte in her bedroom. They share a long hug, and talk about how they're not afraid of Victoria if she's going to stand in the way of their sisterhood. Ams pulls out David Clarke's journal and warns that it says some ugly things about Victoria.
Meanwhile, the Vanity Fair interview is underway. Victoria is spinning the story that in her eight weeks of capture, she never thought of giving up because of her maternal will to survive for her children. Charlotte comes bursting out onto the terrace to call her mother a monster who did horrible things to her father. Charlie turns to the interviewer and tells her on the record that her father is David Clarke. Panicked, Victoria threatens to sue for libel if they run that story. Charlotte correctly asserts it's only libel if it isn't true. Where'd Charlie get these journalism brains from? In any case, this interview is over.
