Charlie is initially confused when Daphne asks him to return the painting they just stole to Brad Willford. He begins to understand when he grasps that what she really wants is an "in" to Pine Grove, an ultra-exclusive defense industry conference that sets the national security agenda behind closed doors. Emma sees this request by Daphne as Charlie's first assignment working as her asset. Daphne discovers Charlie's usefulness in this endeavor beyond his ability to get them into the conference, which Daphne will be unaware was with Emma pulling a few strings. Emma may have a professional issue in running into Vikram as she stays out of sight of the conference attendees, he who is handling security at the conference. She may also have a personal issue in her electronic monitoring of Charlie and by association Daphne whenever she is in his presence. Meanwhile, as Simon suggests, Birdie asks her father for the story behind Simon's unannounced departure ten years ago. What Leo tells her will impact what she decides to do regarding letting Simon back into her and Ollie's lives as he seems to want.
