Angel of Mercy Hospital. Ems and Nolan enter the cobwebbed place, which is remarkably well-preserved considering it's been shuttered since 1993. Ems sends Nolan into the room of records to look for her mother's file -- Kara Wallace Clarke. FLASHBACK: Little Amanda enters the psychiatric ward with her father. Her mother doesn't want her to see her tied down by leather straps. She struggles and the hospital staff restrains her. /FLASHBACK. Ems follows her flashback to her mother's bed, cobwebbed leather straps and all. Upon inspection, one of the leather straps has an infinity symbol on it. Nolan brings in a clipboard he found, showing her father visited the week of his arrest, and before that a Charlotte Clarke visited. Ems says that's impossible since her aunt already was debilitated by Parkinson's. She deduces it must've really been Victoria. Nolan: "Great... Séance, anyone?"

Casa Emily. Nolan and Ems compare "Charlotte Clarke's" sign-in to a sample of Victoria's handwriting. Match. What could Victoria have done with Kara? Ems reverts back to the surveillance video she has of Victoria meeting with Conrad and the White-Haired Man about David's wife situation. David was apparently there to visit Kara to ask for a divorce. WHM thought she could be a liability if David revealed the nature of his relationship with Victoria. Based on that, it appears WHM may have killed Kara. Emanda decides she needs to get close to the Graysons again to find out what happened. She tells Nolan to stay out of trouble while she's gone. Wait... stay? Like, stay-stay? Nolan and Emanda: roomies forever!
It's still afternoon out at the docks. Nolan finds Jack at his boat. They share a big hug that lasts a tiny bit longer than Jack's liking and not long enough for Nolan's. They catch up a little bit about Nolan's current homeless situation, and Jack is surprised to hear that Emanda's back in town. Amily struggles up into view on the boat and throws out a pregnant drumstick like she's Captain Morgan's angry old lady or some shit. She's miffed at not getting so much as a phone call from Ems. Nolan says he'll let her know and says his awkward goodbyes.
CHARC. Ems pays a visit to Charlotte with a big bouquet of flowers. Charlie's elated to see Ems and introduces her to Dr. Thomas as the girl who's been sending her all those postcards from around the world. She invites Emanda to the Memorial Day auction, and lets it slip that Daniel and Ashley are now dating before Dr. Thomas interrupts. They have one more blood test for Charlotte, and they don't want to delay her exit process, so he hurries her along. Ems agrees to go to the auction as they part ways.
