Cut to Victoria placing the rest of the videocassettes into a safe. Charlotte enters the house and catches her mother's attention. Victoria apologizes for Conrad's behavior and asks to talk about it. Charlotte wants no part of that, so she runs upstairs. FLASHBACK: Close-up on a home pregnancy test with a positive sign. Victoria looks up from the test. She's standing on her balcony and watching the S.W.A.T. team still searching David's house. Conrad emerges behind her, so she hides the pregnancy test in a flower pot. He asks if she's OK, and she's decidedly not. Conrad insists that she knows what they did was right, and that he loves her. Victoria gives him a cold response and he turns to leave. Realizing her window of opportunity is closing, she turns to ask Conrad if they can be close tonight. Her eyes flitter with guilt and determination as he takes her hand and leads her into the bedroom. /FLASHBACK. Victoria's eyes are closed and her head rolls on her neck like she's totally reliving that orgasm. Her eyes open and slowly dart back and forth as she probably ponders how despicable she is.
Emanda watches Daniel sitting on her porch swing from around the corner. Emanda voice-over: "For some, commitment is like faith, a chosen devotion to another person or an intangible ideal. But for me, commitment has a shadow side, a darker drive that constantly asks the question -- how far am I willing to go?" Daniel turns and notices his fiancé. They exchange pleasantries about missing each other in bed last night and this morning, and Daniel apologizes for going to see his father, which he thinks was a mistake. He tells Emanda about Conrad not being Charlotte's father, and is so full of vitriol when he talks about David being the father that Emanda asks questions about why it's such a horrible thing. Daniel reveals that he believes David forced himself on Victoria. Sickened, Emanda asks, "She said this to you?" Daniel continues on to say that he would kill David himself if he could. Exhausted from all of this, Daniel says he doesn't want to think about it anymore and asks Emanda what dragged her out of bed early this morning. He thinks she looks like she's been thinking a lot, too. "How's June for the wedding?" she asks. "You still want to marry into my crazy family?" Daniel laughs to himself. Emanda: "More than ever." They kiss and Emanda stares over his shoulder in embrace with the vengeful gleam back in her eyes.
