Emanda comes home to find Charlotte waiting for her on her porch. Charlotte muses that it's probably the best spot on the beach. They sit down on the porch swing their father built, and Charlotte continues her stream of consciousness. She thinks it's crazy to believe she lived next door to her sister all along. She wishes she could ask Amanda Clarke about their father, and figures chances are it won't happen now. Ems asks if that's why she's been taking pills. Char gives no answer. Probably sensing a little opportunity to connect with her half-sister, Emanda tells Charlotte she was told by Jack and Amily that her father built the swing they're sitting on. So, he couldn't have been all bad. Emanda awkwardly puts her arm around Charlotte, who naturally rests her head on Ems' shoulder. They sit together quietly, only one of them knowing they're sharing a genuine moment of sisterhood.
Porter Bar. Dec comes downstairs where his brother is chopping lemons by himself and asks if they can talk. Declan take a moment to think how he's going to approach this, and then launches into telling a story of the time he broke a bar sign of their father's when he was nine. Little Declan was so terrified of the trouble he'd gotten himself into that he ran upstairs that day and started packing his things to leave, but Jack took the blame for it and missed out on an important camping trip to protect his little brother. Dec finishes this story and then just sets the bloodied hoodie down on the counter top. Before Jack can explain, Declan cuts him off to say his older brother is the most stand-up guy he's ever known, and he doesn't care who he's protecting this time or why, but he's going to protect Jack now. And I'm going to start bawling my eyes out. That Dec kid... he might be all right.

Porter Bar. Mr. Brooks takes a seat at the bar and orders a single malt (neat) from Jack. He asks where the pretty bartender is. Jack tries to brush off the question by claiming she was seasonal, but then Brooks asks for clarification because he thought the two were dating. Nolan, sitting a few seats down, notices the line of questioning and begins listening closely. Brooks introduces himself as Daniel's lawyer and asks where Jack was Saturday night. Jack explains his Haiti situation and his boat trouble. Brooks suggests Jack should've left when he had the chance and hands over his business card before asking that Jack let him know if he hears anything from Amily. Nolan sidles over to Jack and offers to have his boat fixed by nightfall, but Jack isn't interested. He doesn't want to run away from the problem, and thinks he needs to find Amily before the Graysons do. He just has no idea how he's going to do that yet.
