Daniel's perched on the ledge of Queen Victoria's balcony with his bottle of liquor. He stares at Emanda's front door with spite when, to his amazement, she actually walks out of it. He pulls out his phone to dial her and watches as she stops in her tracks, side-buttons him and continues walking. Daniel lets out a tiny offended gasp. He angrily takes another swig from his bottle.
Charlotte's Distrust Fund Ex-Boyfriend, Adam, (Remember him?) appears in her bedroom, led in by a maid. He notes how much things have changed if Victoria's allowing him up into Charlotte's room. Charlotte corrects him that Victoria simply doesn't know about it, then turns to the maid and dangles a wad of bills in front of her face. She then orders Adam to close the door and show her his goods. Don't worry... she's just restocking her pill supply. Adam tells Charlotte it's going to cost her and he doesn't mean money. No problem. Charlotte's self-destruction now adds trading sex for goods to the list. What comes after that? Murdering a hobo?
Cliché Art Loft. Dominik mills about his artwork as we hear his elevator lift reach his apartment. He tells whoever it is that his showing isn't ready and is surprised to see it's Conrad, who explains he called all the galleries and told them Dominik's work was spoken for. Dominik notes Conrad must've had Victoria followed, which Conrad admits, but he's also had Dominik investigated. It turns out a painting Victoria brokered to him when they first met was a worthless forgery by Dominik and he's certain he's not the only one he and Victoria conned. Conrad threatens to have Victoria arrested if Dominik doesn't clear out of the city. Defeated, all Dominik can muster is, "You probably should leave... before I break every one of the 14 bones in your face." Conrad smirks and walks away.
Jack's room at the Stowaway. Ems rifles through Jack's things until she finds the bloody hoodie, which she stuffs in her purse. She thinks for a moment and then begins toppling things over and breaking lamps to make it appear like a burglary. In the middle of this all, she gets another phone call from Daniel and side-buttons again before leaving. She comes home to find a drunken Daniel waiting for her in the dark. She's completely caught by surprise and has to toss her bloody-hoodie-containing purse across the floor before addressing the issue. Daniel insists he's not leaving until she explains what she's been doing with Jack. He's convinced she's been sneaking around with him this whole time. Emanda tries to get close to Daniel to reassure him and he shoves her back. He instantly realizes what he's done and snaps out of his drunkenness briefly. His eyes go wide with recognition. As he goes to apologize for pushing Emanda, a bright spotlight floods through the windows. Police burst into the house and place Daniel under arrest. Ems painfully looks down at the bloody hoodie in her purse while they cuff him.
