Emanda's at home painting as Agnes Obel's "Riverside" plays again. (Seriously, you guys, go buy that album or Spotify it or whatever.) FLASHBACK: Michelle reprimands Amanda for drawing another crayon picture of her and her father even though she's been asked to draw a new picture. Amanda says she'll draw anything Michelle wants if she's allowed to see her dad. Dr. Banks reminds Little Amanda she can't do that and asks Amanda to fill in the reason why -- because he was a murderer. "That's a lie," Amanda corrects. Michelle's starting to get frustrated. She tells Little Amanda that if she continues to challenge her about there being a conspiracy, Amanda could end up spending her whole childhood locked up. That doesn't mean anything to Amanda. She just wants to see her dad. Michelle sees this little girl isn't budging and storms off. Amanda screams and throws her drawing and crayons off the table. /FLACKBACK. Emanda's phone chimes. It's a video message from Nolan (Who sends video messages? Nolan.) showing her what Daniel's doing. Nolan's narration is priceless as he pans his phone's camera to show Dan necking with a floozy a few feet away from Jack. "Just thought you'd be amused to know that your fake boyfriend is busy making a drunken ass of himself at your other boyfriend's bar." Jack, in the video, cuts Dan and Tyler off and they protest. Nolan continued: "Come on down. Testosterone's on the house." Nolan, you are my reason for living.
Victoria and Frank have summoned Ashley to Grayson Manor to interrogate her about the video. She admits the DVD had gone missing. She mentions Emanda was the one who found it. Nothing odd about that. Frank wants to know why this Emily person wasn't included on the list of people who interacted with the video. Ashley thinks nobody could possibly believe she was the culprit because she was a victim, too. Yes! Thank you, misdirection. Just then, Daniel and Tyler barge in drunk. Victoria's stunned and asks what happened. Dan is too wasted for questions. He exits like a rock star. Victoria glares at Tyler, who immediately plays the Good Samaritan card. He claims to have tried to stop Daniel from drinking and figured the least he could do was make sure nothing bad happened once the drinking started. Victoria falls for it. She and Frank leave Tyler and Ashley alone. Ashley moves in for a kiss and stops short when she realizes Tyler really is sober and wasn't just acting for Victoria.
Nolan's watching a news report on the TV at Poor Porter Bar about the disappearance of Dr. Banks. Emanda takes a seat next to Nolan to ask where Daniel went. He doesn't know, but he does know the more pressing matter is the whereabouts of Michelle. Jack comes up to Emanda at the counter to tell her with a roll of the eyes that Daniel and Tyler just left. Emanda apologizes for her friends, but Jack's already giving her love eyes. Jack invites Emanda for some more wine, but she declines and leaves. Jack wonders aloud about how hard she is to figure out. Nolan plays cupid. He says she has nothing but nice things to say about Jack. He grabs a bar napkin and scribbles www.hamptonsexposed.com for Jack before leaving.
