Daniel threatens to sever all ties with his mother if she goes through with her plans to destroy his father. Victoria later gives the incriminating evidence she has on Conrad to her son. Daniel lets his dad know that his mother took the bait. An eavesdropping Victoria is saddened by the choice he’s made. Emily is also listening in via video camera. When Daniel to comes home, she can’t take her eyes off the briefcase that now holds enough evidence to clear her father’s name and bring down the Graysons.

Before Daniel arrives, Emily has a chat with Nolan on the phone. She thanks him for intervening earlier today. She thanks him for being a good friend. Nolan then checks out his handiwork by dialing up the video stream of the white-haired man in his house. Something’s off. The clocks in the home don’t show the right time. This is a recording. An arm violently wraps around Nolan’s neck. The white-haired man strangles Nolan, who fights to breathe. The attacker is just too strong. Nolan takes one last gasp for air before his body eventually goes limp.
