Revenge: The Doctor Won't See You Now
WE OPEN WITH EMILY AT THE SHRINK telling the totally made-up story about how she survived the horrific car accident that killed her parents. She says she''s unable to move her relationship with Daniel forward.
Dr. Banks is either next on her shit list -- or a means to an end.
After Emily departs, the good doctor records a session tape about how she doesn't think Emily will ever move past her grief. Little does she know.
Back at Casa Grayson, Conrad and Victoria snipe about the Senator's scandal. Conrad thinks Victoria is behind it somehow – which only proves how diabolical Emily is. Charlotte interrupts the love fest to tell Conrad his car is waiting (he's off to San Fran, how convenient) and ends up arguing with Victoria about some dress fitting and charity event, blah, blah, heiresses clearly don't care for details.
A montage of tennis doubles and townie bars leaves us with these tidbits: Daniel and Emily have plans tonight – and every night – in order to avoid the bars, which makes Daniel's roommate think he's whipped; Jack and Declan are going through their father's things when Declan says he wants to sell the bar so he can have a lil' swag to impress "that rich girl” Charlotte.
Victoria is also seeing Dr. Banks, means to an end AND the topper on Emily's shit list. Turns out Dr. Banks kept Emily and her father apart while they were serving their sentences. Real bitch about it, too. So far, Emily's tapped the doctor's laptop to gain access to all of her private sessions, which is how we discover Victoria is also a patient.
We're back from a station break, and Ashley's bored as hell as she watches Victoria's charity video. Emily tells Victoria that she's bought a ticket to the tea/social, where Dr. Banks will be speaking. This better not be the same schtick as last week with the Senator. I need creativity mixed in with hate spew that's this pure.
Emily walks in on Tyler, Daniel's roomie, and they get to talking. On its surface, the conversation seems totally innocent. But there are so many jagged little points being made: he asks what time she wants Daniel home, implying Daniel's whipped. He mentions that Emily's an orphan and that money can't buy family. Emily just smirks, because this kind of passive-aggressive tiddlywinks is so beneath the high-stakes poker game she's playing. She leaves, and Daniel peeks out from the shower. Tyler says Emily cancelled dinner with him tonight, then hides Daniel's phone in a gym bag like the garden variety Harvard prick he is.
Emily comes across Nolan and Jack discussing the bar's sale and the potential purchase of a boat. Jack fills Emily in on what happened with the Amanda, his old boat. Declan, bumming around on a skateboard, happens across Charlotte outside the seamstress's shop. He's got his mother's heirloom wedding ring ready to pawn – sad, really. It's pretty obvious that they like each other, and even more obvious that Charlotte and Victoria are nearing a breaking point.
As the sun sets on another picturesque Hamptons day, Emily is without a dinner date. But the night's not a total waste. Jack stops by with Sammy, and she invites him in. They enjoy the dinner and a great bottle of wine, and discuss the sale of the bar. Jack says he's going to wait til the end of the season, to see if there's anything worth sticking around for. This mild flirtation is peeped by a forlorn Daniel, who stopped by to see why Emily never called. Cue ominous music and a slight breeze through the curtains.
The day of the tea social, Victoria is trying to get hold of Charlotte just when she appears, averting total WASP meltdown. Behind the scenes, Ashley and Emily catch up on the previous night when Nolan arrives on a golf cart. Emily tells him not to involve Jack in her evil little web. As the speeches begin, Nolan nudges Emily to let him in on her plan for the day – no dice.
Daniel is looking for his cell phone, and Tyler plays dumb. Daniel fills Tyler in on how he saw Emily with Jack. Tyler, clearly trying to stake claim to his man, says Emily's no good and he saw that coming a mile away. Then, he pulls out a fifth of whiskey for his DUI-embattled friend. What a guy.
In a city that's not too far away, and definitely doesn't look like San Francisco, Conrad visits Lydia in her swank new Manhattan digs. They discuss the Senator and how they don't blame each other but VICTORIA for the mess their genitals got them into.
Back at the tea party, the good doctor has begun her presentation, only to have her session recordings broadcast in front of everyone. (When will people learn that PowerPoint is nothing to fuck with?) The tape plays long enough for Charlotte to hear how her mother really feels about her. She's so overcome that she tells Victoria that she's done dressing up and pretending to be someone she's not. Later, Victoria's unusually heated for someone who's likely had her face frozen by weekly Botox injections. She tells Frank that Dr. Banks knows way too much, and he says he'll be back in an hour.
A flashback: Victoria pressures Dr. Banks into institutionalizing Emily after Emily's father's arrest. She refuses, and then Victoria bankrolls her private practice in order to keep Emily away. Victoria is gonna GET IT.
Victoria is still trying to get hold of Charlotte with no luck when the police knock at her door. They want to discuss Dr. Banks's disappearance. Frank pushes them out pretty quickly after they disclose that the doctor's office had been ransacked. Now they're really freaking out, because the footage is definitely out there. Victoria tries to call Conrad but he's busy banging Lydia. Again. Ashley reveals that the DVD “went missing” for a bit until Emily saved the day. Suspicion rises, but then a drunk Daniel bursts onto the scene. Of course, Tyler pretends he's guardian instead of instigator.
Another flashback: Dr. Banks keeps pressing little Emily to give up her father, but she won't. A video message from Nolan interrupts the memory, and Emily discovers that Daniel is wasted at Jack's pub and Jack is trying to cut him off.
Dr. Banks is being held in a storage unit registered to Conrad. By Emily. I wonder if she'll starve or scream to death. An anonymous tip is called in and the doctor is saved. Victoria, creeped out, asks Frank to stay the night. Man, she'll fuck anything that walks. Phsyically, mentally, emotionally. A classic tri-sexual.
Charlotte and Declan sit in a park, and Charlotte pours her heart out about what Victoria said. Declan commiserates with her, mentioning his mom's ring and how he never met her. Turns out the ring is fake. They have a laugh, and Dec tells Charlie to go home and work things out with her mom. She returns home but with no words for Victoria.
Emily calls Daniel, but since Tyler still has the phone, he deletes Emily from the memory. Jack, on a tip from Nolan, checks out the Hamptons site where all Dr. Banks's sessions are, and thinks Emily's talking about him instead of Daniel.
One final flashback: a rainy night. Victoria sneaks into the house, Frank in tow, to get something; she lies when he catches her, saying that she's leaving Conrad. All lies. Emily saw the whole thing.
Victoria is going to GET IT!
