Daniel delights Conrad by rejoining the family firm, even considers dropping out of Harvard at least a semester for it, but actually intends, naively, to help Victoria's divorce case as her spy. Tyler goes to extreme lengths to rescue his blackmail bid, even violently overpowering Nolan to steal the incriminating recordings back, and when that fails takes Daniel's birthday beach part guests at gun point, but his brother, San Francisco surgeon Alexander Barrol, arrives just in time.

Emily Thorne: [shoving him away] Get the hell out of my face! You know the Graysons can't stand you? Leaching off of them all summer, who can blame them? Daniel told me you've always given him the creeps, and even Ashley thinks you're a lying hypocrite. And as for me, well, I've always seen you for exactly what you are.
