Spoilers ahead. Coverage follows the scope labeled below.

Plot summary

It is revealed that Emily and Aiden kidnapped Charlotte in order to force a confession from Conrad and Victoria. They agree to hold a press conference, as Conrad believes he has written a speech that will allow them to claim duress, and therefore be unworthy of evidence in court. When Javier comes looking for Charlotte, Jack becomes worried and eventually walks into Emily's plan. Although he is hesitant to take part, Aiden convinces him to help by telling him that he won't get Amanda back until her mission is completed.

He later releases Charlotte, who confronts Conrad on his sins about Flight 197 and the framing of David Clarke. Finally having enough, Conrad yells at Charlotte and confesses everything to her, which is caught on a live cam on Charlotte, with both unaware. With Conrad exposed, the FBI arrests him. Daniel shows the police an image of a figure in the stairwell at the time of Pascal's death and tells the police it was Emily. She is detained but Nolan manages to cover her tracks. Victoria uses DNA from Jack's son and Charlotte to confirm her suspicions about Emily; that she is Amanda Clarke. Emily visits Conrad in jail and reveals she is the one behind it all. When asked about Victoria, Emily assures him that she's not done yet.
