The Honeymoon
Arriving in Scotland, Duke's dismayed to find
their room not ready, but soon the Laverys get comfy. That night, he wraps an
undressed Anna with his a blanket of his family's as a symbol of her joining his
clan. The honeymoon's bliss as the couple wander about the countryside and enjoy
each other's company.
When Duke attempts to teach Anna his favorite sport, fly
fishing, Anna becomes frustrated with his obsession with the sport. The two get into
an arguement, and he shoves her into the lake when she angrily tosses her pole into the
lake and refuses to retrieve it. She in turn pulls him into the lake.
However,
the newlyweds quickly make up. Meanwhile, poor Angel attempts to help Duke by renting out
his penthouse to a man named Carruthers, who claims to be an insurance salesman.
Unfortunately, he's actually running a gambling operation.
Getting Even
Sean decides to follow his own advice to give love another chance, and Tiffany's the one
the smitten Irishman wants, which is good considering he's the only one she wants
too. He's even starting to think about marriage. Guilt-ridden, Tiffany decides she
needs to clear Sean's name in the 12 million dollar HTI embezzlement. After trashing
the Q mansion because Alan and Edward cut her out of the embezzlement scheme, Tiff
pretends to apologize.
Sean's happy to hear she might be able to get the code name
and account number from Alan, but not when it could involve her sleeping with Alan.
Neither want to go that route, and Monica provides a means when she selects Tiffany to
serve as temporary president of HTI. Going through some papers, Sean and Tiffany
discover Herbert Quartermaine's name on some proxies held by Von Schuler, who had been the
first embezzler. They deduce that Herbert was behind the actual embezzlement. Sean's
further intrigued when Herbert, who's secretly been studying a file on Donely, rings him
up and suggest the two conspire against Edward.
The Mysterious Autumn
After seeing the Lavery off on their honeymoon to Scotland, Robert turns his attentions
back to the mystery lady, telling Felicia that because he brushed the lady off and didn't
get her name, a man may wind up dead. Across town, Autumn's fussing over her
boss, Herbert, because she's afraid he's going to be killed, but he's only concern is
bilking the Qs out of their money with the help of Sean. Herbert proposes a billion dollar
race with Edward, where at the end of 30 days whoever has the bigger stock portfolio gets
to keep both. He and Sean arrange for Edward to intercept a fake hot tip to
Humbert. His celebration is short lived when Herbert collapses after eating Rosa's
guacamole dip.
Autumn accuses everyone of trying to do Bertie in, and calls Robert
for help. However, the doctors reveal that the sour cream in the dip conflicted with
Hubert's brain tumor medicine, so it wasn't a murder attempt after all. Robert 's
suspicious however, after Humbert's accountant, Pritchett, dies after falling down some
stairs. Bertie orders an unhappy Autumn to get Robert off the case, but Robert
refuses after Bertie's housekeeper, Dorothy, is found stabbed to death. The body
disappears before Robert and Guy get to the Q mansion.
With Anna's help, the two do background checks
on all the involved parties. She's not thrilled with his preoccupation with Autumn,
and stuns him with news that Autumn has a very sorted past. Apparently, she had ran
away from boarding school and become a porn star. Furious, he confronts her, and she
explains that she had gone astray because she was grieving after learning her father was
actually alive, but in prison for embezzling from Herbert. After his death, Herbert
became her guardian an took care of her. The two kiss, but she flees after Robert
tells her he's not sure whether he believes her.
The cops finds the murder weapon,
Quentin Quartermaine's letter opener, which Quentin claims Autumn was the last to
use. He also claims to have found a memo from Pritchett to Herbert saying Autumn
would cause trouble if she ever found out Herbert was hiding money from her dead father's
bank account. Robert again questions Autumn's story.
After Robert succeeds in catching
Herbert's murderer, his daughter-in-law Betsy, Autumn inherits Herbert's fortune
and leaves town with her sleazy ex-boyfriend. The Qs inherit nothing.
Scorpio receives a mysterious note saying, "The snowman watches everything
you do," but dismissed it as a prank. Anna finds the note disturbing. No
wonder. Unbeknownst to them, a mental patient with a grudge against Scorpio has
just been released.
