And what our friends aren’t prepared for is that the affects Victoria’s latest status will have on this mission. She’s officially been named a person of interest in the investigation and everyone -- including her lawyer, Conrad -- and Charlotte, think she’s guilty. Her one remaining ally is Patrick, who she fills in on Emily’s fake pregnancy and agenda against her. It seems Victoria still thinks Emily is just obsessed with her instead of putting together the pieces that Emily is David Clarke’s daughter. Once Victoria changes her self-obsessed tune, then she might just be onto something.
In the Graysons’ pool house, the detective is busy missing Daniel’s malicious glances and asking him about Victoria’s feuds with Emily. To be fair, Daniel is partially angry that his mother is being investigated when he’s guilty, but he’s also still furious with Emily. His face contorts even further in anguish when another officer enters the pool house to tell him that Emily is alive and at the hospital. How he’s not grilled by the detective when he looks like he swallowed a lemon is a mystery.
At the hospital, the doctor explains Emily’s injuries and then requests to speak to Daniel alone. She explains that Emily’s blood work shows that she’s not pregnant (somehow, Daniel’s more capable of feigning surprise here than he was when he tried to feign relief that Emily was alive.) He asks the doc to keep this private, fully aware that a bombshell like that could make him look guilty.
While Daniel’s dealing with the bombshell he already knew about, Victoria learns that she’s been barred from visiting Emily due to her involvement in the investigation. It’s a bummer too, since she wore such an amazing leather dress to stand smugly over her daughter-in-law. Oh well.
Since she’s powerless elsewhere, Victoria uses what she has left Victoria tries to stop Nolan from visiting Emily because he doesn’t have a family representative to escort him. Because Patrick is standing there doing his best impression of a retired ventriloquist dummy, Nolan simply asks him to get him into see "his only family." Faced with the decision between his mother and Nolan, Patrick chooses his mommy, but not before she wells up with tears over the knowledge that her son is sleeping with the enemy. She runs away crying like the perfect drama queen she is and Patrick simply white fangs Nolan.
