Grayson Manor, the next day. The whole family sits at breakfast and Ashley comes in, reverting back to her planner role under Victoria. She's confirmed a one-on-one interview for Victoria through her contact at Vanity Fair. Daniel asks about Victoria's move to go public and Conrad explains that she's actually inviting all of the media in an effort to capitalize on the world's current sympathy for her. Ashley passes out vague talking points for the whole family. Victoria instructs everyone that they are not to leave the house or individually address the press until this whole thing is over with. All of the Graysons under house arrest together? This comes to mind.
Nolan's office at Nolcorp. WHM's phone is toast, he tells Emanda. He recoils at seeing the bullet hole in it. Ems wants him to try and recover the contacts list and any info he can salvage. Nolan will try. Padma comes in, surprised to see Nolan actually at work and gets the introduction to Ems. Nolan introduces Padma as the new CFO and "audit whisperer." He introduces Emanda thusly: "This is Emily. My... uh. My... E-Emily." Emanda excuses herself. Immediate jealousy registers from Padma. "She's very pretty," she says dutifully. When Padma asks how they know each other, Nolan says, "Oh, we cohabitate. Well, she asked me to move out, I..." He realizes how weird that sounds, but a bit too late. Nolan: "It's extremely complicated." Not really. You're the well-dressed, technology-savvy assistant to a vengeful sociopath, Nolan. Don't sell yourself short.
Apprentice Man awakens from the beeping of a dump truck and finds himself in a dumpster. Did Ems use a dolly or what? He maneuvers himself out of the dumpster just as its being tipped into the back of the truck, letting himself down over the windshield. AM ignores the confused anger from the truck driver as he verifies he still has his plane ticket and WHM's motel key tucked in his boot. Everything's coming up Milhouse!
Grayson Manor. In her bedroom, Charlotte looks at a pet shelter website. Victoria barges in and objects at the idea of a pet. Actually, Charlotte is looking to volunteer so she doesn't have to spend the summer cooped up with her dysfunctional family. Fair enough. Charlotte wants to know why they can't tell Daniel the truth about what really happened to his mother. Victoria thinks that he demonstrated he can't be trusted yet after he aligned himself with Conrad before. As she sits down on Charlotte's bed, Victoria finds a receipt for the $5,000 she spent on Amily's baby. She's Charlotte's sister, after all. Victoria: "Half sister... if that." Wha-wha-what? Victoria insists that they must still keep the identity of Charlotte's father a secret to the general public. It shouldn't be hard for the time being since they're all sequestered and no one's allowed in the house, Charlotte points out. Victoria: "Well... with one notable exception."
