Aiden finds a clue about his father's past. It's a name-Oscar Chapman. He's going to follow up this lead, but not before telling his mother the truth. He admits that he and Emily are not together.

Mason Treadwell is given some shaving cream by a prison guard. It turns out to be toxic. Mason is dead. Victoria confronts Stevie about her meeting with him. She brings a bottle of booze over to torture her. Stevie ends up drinking again. Jack finds her in bad shape. He wants her to go back to L.A. Stevie wants him to come with her. He can't do that. Stevie believes it's because he loves Emily.

The coroner's van takes Mason Treadwell's body off the prison grounds. As it turns out, the dead writer isn't really dead. The face cream that supposedly did him in was provided by Emily Thorne. It causes a reaction in which the body only appears dead for 12 hours. Nolan explains all this to Mason as he provides him with his new identity, a bankroll and a description of the bungalow that will be his new home. He also asks him what he knows about another reporter-Oscar Chapman. Mason says the man who may know of Pascal's connection to Aiden's father faked his own death. He may still be alive. Now Emily just needs to find him.
