Actually, we shouldallbe forgiven for letting a little bit of the episode title into our brains.

Its gotta be the latter, right?

Meaning that Takeda reallydoeshave Emily figured out.

Amanda, who would surely reveal everything about Emily if turned over to the authorities.

Victoria, for one,reallywants Amanda Clarke to be the fall guy.

Thats just bad fashionandbad forensics.

Idiocy runs in the Porter family, it seems.

NEXT: Would Fitzgerald, Faulkner or Hemingway have drowned their sorrows in wine coolers?

He thought for certain thatshehad killed Tyler.

Victoria thought she had it all figured out, though.

Montauks favorite son was a typically sensible man driven to illogic by a conniving temptress.

(Conrad channeling his inner snarkmeister: Wouldnt be the first time.

Really, there was only one man for the job: Mason Treadwell.

Nolan found Treadwell on a park bench, sipping a wine cooler and wallowing in self pity.

Even Treadwell admitted as much.

(Treadwell Bon Mot of the Night #1: Fitzgerald, Faulkner, Hemingway.

These were pillars of cirrhosis.

Ive always been a lightweight.

)How could Nolan entice Treadwell to write once more?

NEXT: Like the Hanso Foundation before it, the Treadwell Report is real!

Because bothMass Effect3andCommunitys Pillows & Blanketshave proven that we need a lot more Keith David in our lives.

Somehow, Charlotte is more unbalanced than her sibling locked up in Rikers without bail.

Seeing your face like this hurts me more than it did u.

NEXT: Victoria gotta have it.

These two knew each other.

Its also the first time weve seen her controlled purely by animal impulse, doing something pretty darn illogical.

Does she need to get laid that badly?

Or does she have some other use for this Dominik Wright that she hopes to procure?

I suppose she needs his non-bedroom-related skills, butfor whatright now I really cant imagine.

While Victoria was occupied, Emily cracked open Grayson Manors safe.

(Um, does anyone remember when she got the code to access it?)

How else could they have gotten his tapes?

It was time for him to sever ties.

NEXT: Betrayal, thy name is Declan.

The next day was supposed to be Declans first day of school at Collins Prep.

But rather than embrace the preppy way of life together, Charlotte chewed out Declan for his epic betrayal.

Yes, Treadwell had printedeverythingDeclan told him about Charlottes drug abuse.

Youre just another puppet in the Grayson family play,Charlotte said.

And its time for your exit.

All the better that she said this in her schoolgirl outfit.

As our live chat commenter JakShowtime said, Schoolgirl outfits make everything better.

So the time had come for Victoria to confront Treadwell.

Perhaps history repeats itself, but Mason Treadwell does not.

Victoria threatened him withsomethingterrible.

Weand, probably, shedont know exactly what.

That led toMason Treadwells Bon Mot of the Night #2: Dowhat?

Not invite me to the parties youve stopped throwing?

Not introduce me to the celebrities whove stopped calling?

Your empire is crumbling, my queen.

Her defense for Daniel having totally fallen apart, Victoria came up with Plan B.

What if the murders were committed by the person youd least expect?

The bullets came fromhergun, and theyhadfought earlier in the evening.

But, admittedly, Emily was with her at the party the whole night.

Really, though, its amazing that Victoria hasnt been evenmoresuspicious of Emily up to this point.

But, hey, your life may be going to hell, so what do you do?

She said shed buy him a drink for every piece of bull he makes her believe.

Somewhere, Takeda is not happy.
