Meanwhile, Jack is in mid-discussion with Mr. Ryan about failing the health inspection and being unable to pay him back. His phone rings from Emanda in one of those worst possibly-timed things that makes you look bad. Sparse on details, Ems informs Jack that his baby mama had an accident. Emanda will meet him at the hospital. Jack leaves, and it totally sounds like he's giving a bogus excuse. We linger behind to see Mr. Ryan pull out his phone and dial... Trey. They've been working together to blackmail the Porters. The health inspector was a fake, and now they believe they've cornered Jack financially. Mr. Ryan will be making an offer on the Stowaway soon.
Padma and Nolan throw open the door to his father's storage unit. It's filled to the brim with boxes. Time to sift through the life of the man Nolan disowned.
At Grayson Manor, we've caught up to the opening scene. Victoria burns the sign-in sheet while the maid scrubs Amily's blood off the floor. Conrad enters the front door, sees all the blood and immediately calls out to his wife. She explains what happened to Amily, but more importantly that Ams knew details about Kara being hand-delivered to Gordon by Victoria. She could've only known that with the help of someone else. This revelation is interrupted by Daniel and Ashley arriving home. Dan declares that he's heading to bed, so that Ashley and Conrad can have a private moment. He posts up behind a pillar and listens in on Ash telling his father that she'll no longer act as his spy. Daniel smiles to himself.
At the paternal storage unit, Padma teases Nolan over a competitive Tetris trophy. Can't you just picture a young, lanky Nolan clicking away at a Gameboy and throwing angry, sideways glances at an opponent? I approve. Padma finds a box of Nolcorp stuff, and Nolan explains that he started his company in his father's garage, and was soon after kicked out of the house. Standing with just the small Nolcorp box between them, Nolan softens and thanks Padma for taking an interest -- in this quest for information and in him. Padma: "It's my job to take care of you." Nolan hopes this caring thing has nothing to do with the job. He leans in for a kiss and the cardboard box collapses under his elbows, dropping him all the way to the ground. Nolan: "Can we, uh... try that again?" It's a very sweet and caring kiss they share. I guess we shouldn't complain. She's not Tyler.
