An hour-long recap show of the first season called The First Chapter was shown the week before the premiere on September 26, 2012.

Charlotte has just told Daniel that she is pregnant, Conrad is getting his campaign ready for victory, and Victoria is at the Stowaway with Jack (Carl is said to be out of town with his grandmother).

As Daniel works feverishly to turn Aiden in to the authorities, Emily and Nolan become aware of an assassin, Gregor Hoffman, who has been hired by Conrad to bomb Grayson Global.

Emily, who disposed of the laptop herself, realizes it's a trap and rushes to Grayson Global to save Jack, knowing the bomb will go off when he arrives.

Everyone in Manhattan suddenly receives a text message declaring "Long Live David Clarke".
