Episode Report Card Pablo G: A | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Staring Down the Barrol's Gun
By Pablo G | Season 1 | Episode 11 | Aired on 01.04.2012
She enters Casa Emily and finds Dan grabbing her gun. He figures they could use protection from Tyler, blaming himself for not seeing Ty for what he is sooner. Emanda's phone rings with a call from Nolan. His tracking of Tyler's GPS shows he is in fact on a flight out west. Ems invites Nolan to the clambake which he notes is for friends and family only. Emanda verifies she didn't overlook that when making the invite. Aww. Best Revenge Friends Forever -- BRFF. They hang up. Nolan shuts his front door and cautiously locks it, only to find Tyler behind him with a knife. Ty demands all copies of the videos that were on Shamu. Tyler thinks Nolan has it all backed up and doesn't buy that Nolan didn't steal the camera back. He puts the tip of his knife to Nolan's throat and continues demanding the videos, but Nolan is completely seized with terror. Ty hacks at Nolan's arm with the knife and his laptop inadvertently comes up with the feed from the web cam at Emanda's house. She happens to be explaining to Dan that Tyler is on his way to Cali. This verifies Tyler's suspicion that he was being tracked (what, other than crazy, crazy paranoia, would've made him suspect that?), so he shipped his phone to Cali. Again, crazy. The link between Nolan and Emanda being apparent now, Tyler plans on going to confront her himself, but he asks himself aloud first what he'll do with Nolan.

Ems pulls out a gift from her dresser and hands it to Daniel who's sitting on her bed. It's a little leather-bound scrapbook. The first page is the photo from the day they first met at the Memorial Day party. Emanda asks if Dan remembers the poem he recited to her when they first started dating. They recite it together. The scrapbook is a collection of poems Emanda has been saving since she met Daniel because he feels like home to her. They share a kiss.
Nolan is tied to a chair in his dark living room, gagged by a handkerchief. He rocks his chair back and forth and falls on his side, letting out a long, pained groan. This is pretty standard hostage fare.
Back at Casa Emily. Conrad gives pleasantries to Ems. She walks over to Ashley and asks how she's holding up with this Tyler business... having been dating Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Ashley is annoyed by Emanda's lack of empathy and reminds her Tyler isn't a monster before she storms off. The dude just hacked Nolan's stringy bicep with a knife. He's a monster in our book, Ash. Victoria enters the scene. FLASHBACK: Victoria and David are on the beach together. They talk about the tension of things as they prepare for Victoria to leave Conrad. David is excited their future life together is really happening. He can't wait for her to meet Amanda. They kiss and their hands unclasp in slow-mo. Victoria stops David as he leaves to tell him she loves him. /FLASHBACK. Victoria asks Amily if she plans on sticking around in the Hamptons, which she does. Emanda gets the idea to get up and go help Jack, but Amily quickly volunteers to go instead, sensing an opportunity to keep Ems away from her man.
