Emily and Eli return to their former foster home to try to find some of "Amanda's" old belongings, but they are told her things were lost in the fire Amanda started while living there. Meredith is to receive checks from the charity to help foster children in her home.
At the presentation of the Amanda Clarke Foundation's check to Meredith Hayward and Hayward House, Eli tells the truth about his horrible experiences living there. Enraged and humiliated, Meredith reveals that he was really the one who set the fire that Amanda was blamed for. Victoria immediately fires Eli as foundation co-chair. Emily confronts him about the fire, and he says it's true but he only did it to get her in trouble so that they could stay together. Jack continues to try to find out what really happened on the Amanda's last voyage from one of the Ryans, who tells him that there are recorded conversations with Conrad.

Emily visits him in prison, and discovers that Victoria has another son who was put into foster care. Victoria doesn't like that Emily and Daniel are reconnecting. She sends an anonymous letter to Daniel with a picture taken of them with two bullets in the envelope, wanting to scare Daniel into distancing himself from Emily to protect her. Emily continues to try to make amends with Jack but he's resistant.
