With the help of Nolan, her new ally, Emily sets her sights on federal prosecutor Tom Kingsley, now a state senator, who helped put her father behind bars. Meanwhile, Victoria learns more about Emily, and her suspicions increase. Also, Daniel finds he cannot resist Emily and they go on another date, which doesn't go as planned when he's confronted by the brother of his ex-girlfriend who was involved in his car accident.
Victoria flashes back to when she was in love with David Clarke and saw that he would certainly be convicted. She had told Kingsley she had evidence exonerating him, which Kingsley ignored when Conrad offered to support his political ambitions. In the present, during dinner with Victoria and Conrad and his wife and a staffer, Kingsley receives two video e-mails showing him with his now-former mistress Erin, whom he had given money for an abortion. At a fundraiser thrown by Victoria for him, still-pregnant Erin appears, smiling happily; and the political speech on his computer tablet has become an announcement of his retirement from public life.
It is later revealed that Emily released the videos of Kingsley and Erin together. When Nolan asks why, she says, "I didn't want to just destroy his career. I wanted to destroy his life."
The episode scored a 2.4 adults 18-49 rating and 7.69 million viewers.[1]
