Plot

On July 4, a celebration by the Grayson's family has long been legendary, but the celebration this year will be one to remember in a bad way. A videotape depicting Frank (Max Martini) killing Lydia Davis (Amber Valletta) at her penthouse destroys Frank's credibility to the Graysons.

Meanwhile, tensions between Emily and Tyler (Ashton Holmes) reach an all-time high, putting Daniel Grayson (Josh Bowman) into a difficult position, and Jack (Nick Wechsler) & Declan (Connor Paolo) take bold steps in pursuing Emily and Charlotte (Christa B. Allen).
