Conrad swipes Charlotte’s hairbrush for DNA testing. Victoria also wants to use DNA to prove that the girl who claims to be Amanda Clarke is the real deal. That’s why she invites her over for tea. Victoria has Ryan Huntley use a spoon that Amanda licked to use for a sample. Huntley says the preliminary results from Charlotte’s DNA test indicate that Conrad is not her father.

Conrad dismisses the lawyers to have a private chat with his soon-to-be-ex-wife. He lets Victoria know that she should take whatever her offers her. If they go to trial, it’ll be public knowledge that she had a child after a torrid love affair with the most hated man in America. This puts the queen in a precarious spot. It also has an eavesdropping Ashley wondering why she invested herself in a family that appears ready to implode.

Daniel plans an intimate, romantic dinner on the boat where he first met Emily. A mobile orchestra plays in the background until the rains come. A little bad weather isn’t going stop Daniel from his objective of the evening. He gets down on one knee, pulls out a ring and asks a breathless Emily to marry him. Her answer is yes. The two of them kiss, embrace and laugh in the middle of the downpour. Of course, things are just as stormy inside once the happy couple breaks the news to Victoria.
