Outside shot of the house. That’s a huge house! Is that really a house? It’s huge! Breakfast. Dad at the head of the table. Charlie and Aria to his right, Stepmom, Riley and Oliver to his left. Stepmom asks how Emma is feeling. Is it still difficult because of that incident? She answers yes, which gets looks from Oliver and Riley. Charlie doesn’t look and keeps eating his food. She quickly corrects herself and says that she feels much better.
Stepmom asks how Charlie slept. He can't sleep with someone next him. Like she cares. He replies that that was when he was younger. He’s now an adult. He slept very comfortably. Oliver smiles to himself because he knows that’s not true. Charlie stuffs a big piece of food in his mouth and looks at Aria. She nods and says she slept well, too. Stepmom is surprised. Dad growls his approval. He asks Charlie how the shopping mall construction going and orders him to keep the mayor happy until the contract is signed. Dad clears his throat and says that if Charlie finishes this project well, he’ll send Charlie to the head office. Reaction shots from Riley and Oliver. Oliver isn’t happy. Dad says that Charlie can't keep selling merchandise in the department store. Oliver boils.
Dad orders Emma to start working at the gallery. Aria is surprised. Riley complains that the gallery is for Stepmom and her. Dad answers that that’s why he’s telling Emma to work there. Meeting more people will help for a faster recovery. They didn't even go on a honeymoon. Staying home will only make Emma feel worse. Stepmom glares at Aria. Dad orders Stepmom and Riley to be sure to help Emma. Stepmom immediately toes the line. She says that it’s an excellent idea since Emma studied art abroad. When she sees some paintings, maybe it can help Emma to recover her memory. Should they do a welcome party at the gallery? Aria smiles.
Outside, Oliver tells Aria that Dad has no intention of putting her within the company yet. He’s having his family members to spy on her, so she should do as she is told for now. Cooperate and learn confidential information bit by bit. She asks what he’s planning on doing about the debt? Oliver’s surprised: What debt? She asks why he thinks she came this far? What is he going to do about her family's debt? Stoic, he tells her not to worry. He’ll pay it. She wants specifics. Testily, he says that he’ll do it slowly and without any trace. He adds for her not to make him say it twice. He doesn’t know what he’ll do if she makes him mad. Great, now she has two men threatening her with violence. And just to clarify, Oliver, no one can make you angry. You choose to get angry.
Regaining his composure, he tells her to just think about Emma and focus on Emma only. She asks him who Emma loved? He’s visibly bothered by the question. She asks why he didn't tell her earlier. If there was such a person, he should have told her earlier. Oliver looks to be about to say something but Charlie and Luca walk up. Charlie says that he looked all over for her, not knowing she was already outside. With a smile, she says that they were talking about the gallery where she’ll be going soon. Oliver was telling her good things. Charlie tells her to get dressed. Isn’t she already wearing clothes? They have to go somewhere. When she asks where, he replies that if she made a deal then she should get a receipt.
Their destination is to go register the marriage. With a photographer, of course. And she looks very nice. She did change her clothes. Charlie signs first. She awkwardly goes to sign the license and starts to write her real name. She catches herself and scratches it out, writing Emma instead. Charlie notices the scratching but doesn’t say anything.
Dad is filling out Aria’s Notice of Death and crying as he does. Aw, poor dad. He can barely write for his tears. His weeping gets everyone’s attention. He must feel so guilty, because Aria is dead because of him. Back at home, they look over Aria’s last effects. Claire is there with them. Dad says they should just think that Aria went to a better place. Mom wearily rises and starts to walk outside. Dad asks where she’s going and Mom says that she’s going to suffocate staying inside. Dad wants to go together, but Mom doesn’t want him to. She just wants to be alone.
Claire asks where Archie Oppa went. Dad says that Archie went out because he found a nice job. Why don’t I believe that one? Archie is outside someone’s apartment. When the person answers, Archie chickens out from getting the money he’s there for, but the guy roughs him up anyway. Right after the guy goes back into the apartment, Archie calls the police and says that he was assaulted. He’s got a bloody lip to prove it. He gets up and starts kicking the door, demanding the money he’s there to collect.
Next we see him with Loan Shark. That’s who he was collecting money for. Loan Shark compliments him on his skills. He’s got more bruises. Archie reminds Loan Shark that 15% of it is his. Loan Shark says that he’ll deduct it from their debt. He writes it in his ledger and tells Archie that at this rate, he’ll be able to pay of the debt in 3 years. Wow, 3 years of getting the crap beaten out of you. Not something to look forward to. But I think he’s working for Loan Shark to get the goods on him, clear his sister’s name and get Loan Shark put away for good. After all, the guy murdered his sister. Archie answers that he’ll pay all of it within a year.
