Poor Porter Bar. Emanda shows up and is greeted by a happy Sammy. This just goes to show that you should always pick the girl your dog likes. Jack appears and starts talking about how Sammy seems to be losing it because he doesn't recognize Amily, which segues into the fact Amily doesn't want to talk about her past. Emanda asks Jack what the deal is with Amily's childhood, and Jack shares what he knows about David Clarke, which is pretty much what anyone with a television would know. He says his childhood ended when Amanda disappeared. FLASHBACK: Little Amanda begs to keep Sammy because Social Services is taking her away. The agents tell her not to worry because Jack will take care of her puppy. She hands him over to little Jack and hugs them both. She promises through tears she'll come back for him as she's led away. /FLASHBACK. Ems says it wasn't little Amanda's fault. She hands Jack a napkin with an invite for Amily to come by the house to reconnect with warm memories. "You're a really good person, you know that?" Jack tells Emanda. He walks off and notices Sammy and Emanda having a tender moment from across the bar. "You take care of him for me, okay?" Emanda whispers to Sammy. She has to tell him to stay before she walks off.
Dan walks in on Tyler digging through his chest of clothes in the pool house and throws a little hostility his way about him not trying harder to live somewhere else now that Dan is living with Emanda. He asks Tyler what his secret is behind landing Nolan as a business partner so quickly when Conrad has tried for nearly a decade with no success. Tyler claims he just figured out what makes Nolan tick and it's a talent. Whore. Dan decides better than to reveal what he knows and walks out. Tyler keeps digging through his things and finds empty prescription bottles. He wipes his brow nervously.
