Porter Bar. Declan walks past the open bathroom door and catches Charlotte popping a pill. He asks what she's doing. Char blames it on the stress of everything she's been through lately. Dec sneaks his hand into Charlotte's purse that's slung on her shoulder as she talks about dealing with her brother being accused of murder and her father being a terrorist. Declan pulls out the bottle of Oxycodone and asks if she was high last night when they were getting touchy feely. Charlotte's had enough with being interrogated this weekend. She snatches the pill bottle and leaves. Dec's like, "What is this -- National Keep Secrets From the Greaser Day?"
Dan sees his candid photo on the website GoquestGo with the headline "Celebrity justice for murdering Hamptons playboy?" Ems walks in and takes a seat beside him. Before she can say anything, Daniel declares they should've gone to Paris. Emanda apologizes for ruining that plan. They're interrupted by a knock on the door from the police saying they have a warrant for Dan's arrest. Emanda gives Dan some words of encouragement, kisses him and gets up to answer the door.

He's cuffed and led out of the house in slow-motion while his parents run up the porch of Casa Emily, also in a slow-motion panic. Victoria screams for the police to leave her son alone and tries to intervene. Emanda looks on helplessly.

Mr. Brooks has Daniel, his parents and Emanda alone in an interrogation room at the police station. He says Daniels fingerprints were on the gun, his hands tested positive for gun residue and the blood on his tux jacket was Tyler's. That sounds like first-degree murder charges. The spirit of the entire room drops except for Brooks. Conrad asks his son to now tell them everything about what happened that night on the beach. Daniel says he managed to get the gun away and he fired a shot when Tyler charged at him. After that, he blacked out and doesn't remember anything. Brooks gets an idea. He asks Dan where Tyler struck him on the head. Daniel remembers being hit on the temple, but Daniel has a hematoma on the back of his head, suggesting maybe there was a third person on the beach that night. Brooks wants to know if the family has any enemies. Victoria floats the idea of Amanda Clarke. Brooks is excited to have a lead, and asks where they might find her. Before anyone can answer, flashbulbs start going off from outside the interrogation room. Brooks leads the family out of the room through a sea of media types who are all shouting out questions. They're all ignored until Ashley suddenly pipes up that they have no comment. The reporters all converge on her, so she keeps awkwardly talking, putting a PR spin on it -- Daniel is innocent of the charges and the Graysons are sure justice will be served.
