A beautiful young woman, Emily Thorne, who was known as Amanda Clarke, rents the Southampton home she once shared with her father and sets her plan in motion.

Emily gets to work on her next target, a former family friend who testified against her father; Victoria tries to find more information on Emily.

Back in 2002, Amanda Clarke starts reading her father's journals and begins staking out the Grayson's home. As her anger and determination grow, she forms a plan to seek justice -- as Emily Thorne.

Hindsight's 20/20 when a flashback to 2006 has Victoria getting a surprise visit from her estranged mother, triggering memories of her tumultuous upbringing. Emily embarks on her first mission under Takeda's training, where she meets Aiden and learns of his revenge path. 2006 is also the year Nolcorp goes public, and Carl Porter gets into hot water when he crosses the wrong people on the docks.
