At Grayson Manor, Dan approaches his mom to ask if her hatred for Conrad is more important than her children. Victoria thinks Dan would do well to remember his father is guilty of horrible things. As for her own involvement, there are multiple sides to every story. Dan tells her if she goes through with destroying Conrad, she's dead to him. Victoria's eye twitches.
Back at Casa Emily, Jack pulls a blanket over Sammy. He breaks down into sobs and convulsions again, so Ems takes him in an embrace. When both of them have calmed a bit, they look into each other's eyes and kiss. Ashley spies this make-out session through the window and walks away. What?! Where's Dan? Why isn't Daniel the one discovering this and going on a jealous rampage? What the hell is Ashley even doing there? Ugh.

Jack and Emanda dig Sammy's grave. When the hole's finished, they both stare at it blankly. Stoically, Jack says he'll go in and get Sammy. He thanks Emanda for being there and wonders about the fact Sammy always seemed to be leading Jack to her. He takes Ems' face in his hands and asks what they're going to do now. She looks like a deer in headlights when she says she doesn't know. Jack nods knowingly and heads inside to get his best friend's body. Emanda decides to dig some more... literally.
Charlotte waits by herself on a street corner. Oh no. A car pulls up. Oh... no. She tells the guy inside he's late. OH NO! She hands him cash... wait, that's not how -- oh, okay, the guy's handing Charlotte a bag of coke. That's not so bad.
Victoria enters Dan's office at Grayson Manor holding the evidence she stole from Conrad. She offers it and apologizes. Victoria says what Daniel chooses to do with it is up to him. Ems is listening in on all of this. When Victoria walks out, Daniel calls Conrad to tell him his mom buckled and they now have the evidence. Conrad commends his son and tells him to bring it with him in the morning. Victoria is right outside the door eavesdropping on this call. She walks away upset. Emanda's not too pleased with what she's heard either.
Jack comes home to his brother who's already a bit of a mess over his ordeal with Charlotte. Jack tells Dec Sammy's gone. He takes a seat next to his brother on the couch, puts his arm around him and they cry together.
Emanda has pulled out the infinity x infinity box. Her phone rings with a call from Nolan. She says she was just about to call him -- not to yell at him, but to thank him for helping her see the light at the end of the tunnel. Ems looks at a photo of her and Jack as kids with Sammy while Nolan tells her he's proud of himself for everything he had to do to infiltrate WHM's lair. Emanda says she's proud of him, too, but she has to go because there's a knock at the door. Emanda voice-over: "They say grief occurs in five stages. First there's denial, followed by anger." It's Daniel at the door. Ems apologizes to him for the wedding meeting. VO continued: "Then comes bargaining, depression and acceptance." She asks Daniel if they can just go to bed. Daniel sets down his briefcase which contains the evidence he just received from his mother and Emanda can't keep from looking at it as they head upstairs together. VO: "But grief is a merciless master. Just when you think you're free, you realize you never stood a chance.
