The Final Gambit

Avery talks to Xander, Thea, and Rebecca about the poem on Toby’s bedroom wall, wondering what the connection was between Toby and William Blake decades ago. Avery suggests that William may have had one of the Blake family seals with him when he disappeared. The question is, how would Tobias have ended up with that seal—the one Toby later stole? Avery, Xander, Thea, and Rebecca google when William went missing and realize it was 40 years ago, approximately. They then realize that “Liam” could be short for “William”—Toby’s father and Eve’s grandfather, who, according to Mallory, simply “left.”

Avery is starting to suspect the truth. She wonders what happened to William, theorizing that perhaps he had gotten teenage Mallory pregnant. She suspects that Vincent might know that Toby is his grandson, which would explain why he abducted him, of all people. Avery runs into Jameson, who is furious that she refused to stay safely locked away. They fight, and Jameson accuses Avery of wanting him to be Grayson. He confesses his love for Avery, who is filled with regret over the entire situation. Privately, she wishes Eve had stayed away; suddenly, she realizes that Eve and Vincent must be family.
