WHM walks up on the Queen's Cabin at night. He draws his gun before entering the completely darkened shack. He flips on the light and is surprised to find Victoria beaten, bloodied and handcuffed to a cabinet. WHM asks who did this. Victoria says he did and advises him to start running. WHM thinks about pulling the trigger, but stops short, spotting the Clam Cam. He really has a nose for surveillance cameras, I guess. He hears sirens, so he takes off running. Dozens of cop cars descend on the location, but WHM manages to escape before Conrad can frantically lead the police into the cabin like the worried husband he's supposed to be.
Ems comes home to an empty house. The first thing she does is pop open the surveillance laptop, which to her surprise is giving her a glimpse into Victoria and Conrad talking to authorities. Conrad can't believe they let WHM get away. Victoria refuses a hospital trip, but wants her personal physician to meet her at home. "It's a miracle what this woman can endure." Conrad says. Ems: "Son of a bitch."

Grayson Manor. Ashley bitches out Dan about giving up everything to Charlotte. Before he can really explain, Conrad barges in with Victoria. Dan doesn't know what to make of suddenly seeing his mother alive and being able to hug her. His brow is perpetually furrowed. A detective asks to take Conrad's official statement, and Conrad suggests Dan come with him. With the boys out of the room, Victoria takes Charlotte aside to explain why she pushed her away earlier and to get her pledge that she won't let her father know that she knew Victoria was alive all along. The only loose end is Emanda. Charlotte admits that Ems knows everything, so Victoria demands that Charlotte bring Emanda to Grayson Manor. In the study, Conrad explains to the detective that WHM was bleeding him dry with his ransom demands. Charlotte's inheritance was the last of it. Daniel is beside himself hearing this. Why didn't his father at least tell him his mom was alive? Conrad is adamant that it was for Victoria's protection from this lunatic that he kept these secrets. They both turn to see Victoria giving a description of WHM to a police sketch artist.
