· Charlotte confided with 'Emily Thorne' about her mother still being alive before she gets taken to her room to be locked down.

· 'Emily' introduces Charlotte to 'Amanda'

· Victoria came up with a plan to blame the white haired man for kidnapping and beating her (with the help of Conrad Grayson) so she could come out of hiding and rejoin her family.

•  ‘Emily’ helps ‘Amanda’ fake the results of her paternity test so she can be with Jack.
• The white haired man is killed by the man who is following  'Emily'

 

In the last episode...

Victoria gets returned home but her family is not happy to see her. They understand that something suspicious is going on. Now, Conrad and Victoria haven’t gotten along for a while but  Daniel and Charlotte are  now starting to feel hatred for their mother. Victoria has an idea to hold a big press release party to get her story out. Daniel doesn’t believe his mother’s story, and she has the audacity to blame him for the death of all the people on the plane that crashed because he chose his father’s side when faced with the truth of David Clarke. Yes it was defiantly wrong of him to side with his father once he found out the truth, but that was so harsh! He though what he was doing was in the best interest of his family. And after his sister’s inheritance is gone he give his share to her which is so sweet and earns him points in my book!

Also in this episode Victoria asks ‘Emily’ to stay away from her family indefinitely since she knows the truth about Victoria hiding out and not being kidnapped. To be honest I’m surprised that she hasn’t asked ‘Emily’ to stay away before now, since she despises her so much!

In order to get around being banned from the house, ‘Emily’ guilts ‘Amanda’ into attending the party so she can give Charlotte a fake David Clarke journal (written by ‘Emily’). I know that ‘Amanda’ is reluctant to at first because she doesn’t want to lose Jack,  but she agrees anyways, and lies to him about her ware bouts. I think ‘Emily’ is purposely trying to set her up for failure.   ‘Emily’ manages to sneak into the party anyways, I’m sure she knows that something big is going to happen. At the party someone anonymously sends Daniel the passport that his mother was going to use to escape the country which fuels his hatred for her even more.

After ‘Amanda’ gives the fake journal to Charlotte and she’s about to leave ‘Emily’ blackmails her into staying to watch Victoria’s speech…and it was a doosey! She reveals that Charlottes real father is David Clarke and asks the whole family to come up on stage with her…including ‘Amanda’! Obviously Jack sees this and is fed up with all of her lies. When she returns back to the Bar he straight up tells her he cannot deal with her lies FINALLY! I cannot take them together any longer. She lies about everything and Jack sees that now. I wonder how he will react when he discovers that ‘Emily’ is not who she says she is! In this episode he said he appreciates how she is always there for him, hopefully he will remember that part when the truth comes out.

Also in this episode we discovered who the man is that was following ‘Emily’. He’s a man who got trained with her at the super assassin academy, Aiden. He was the one who has Victoria’s fake passport delivered to Daniel, but Emily makes it clear that she doesn’t want any of his help, since he let her down in the past and has learned to ignore her feeling for him. Despite this I have a feeling that we will be seeing more of him in the future episodes.

 

Another Very importante element in todays episode is 'Emily' heard her mothers voice! When she listened to the voice mail on the phone of the white haired main her mother was the one leaving the message. She ended it with 'I love you' and talked about 'shutting it down, like we promised' if she didn't hear from him. So weird for 'Emily' to hear im sure! She knew that they were intimately involved because when she took the white haired mans locket, her picture was inside. I hoooope they Elaborate on this next episode! What do you think their relationship is like?

 

My favorite part in this episode was when ‘Amanda’ gave the journals to Charlotte, now maybe she won’t keep  blindly following her mother and will turn to Emily for help.
