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.

Tyler's brother knocks on Nolan's front door but doesn't see him writhing on the floor tied to the chair. Meanwhile, Dec and Charlotte arrive at Casa Emily. Victoria's never happy to see Declan, but she does her best to fake it. Emanda asks everyone to head down to the beach now that everything's ready. Tyler enters through a side door as everyone has exited. Back at the Fortress, Nolan's yelling gets the attention of Dr. Barrow. Nolan manages to get his gag loose and tells Tyler's brother where there's a spare key.
