Emily excuses herself to bring out the birthday cake. Tyler is waiting for her inside. As the two of them get into a verbal sparring match, Emily slips a wallet into Tyler’s jacket pocket. Then Tyler grabs the gun from Emily’s desk and leads her out to the beach at gunpoint. It’s not exactly the happiest of birthday parties.

It’s obvious that Tyler has completely unspooled as he invites the guests to join him a game of “Truth or Die.” He asks Conrad to tell everyone the truth about David Clarke before pointing the gun at Emily’s head. He’s about to pull the trigger when his brother calls to him. The distraction gives Jack and Daniel an opening to tackle and subdue Tyler. When the police arrive, they find Frank’s wallet in Ty’s jacket. He’s now the prime suspect in the security man’s murder.

Nolan knows that Emily always keeps her gun loaded. Well, almost always. Tonight she knew to remove all the bullets. Emily watches as Jack heads home with Amanda, who wonders what Ty was talking about when he asked for the truth about David Clarke. As for Victoria, she’s informed by her lawyer that he’s found a doctor willing to manufacture documents to prove she had a miscarriage. That’ll make the prenup invalid. This brings a satisfied smile to the queen’s face.
