Jane approaches the front desk and some guy who is not Tony is working. She asks him to bring an envelope up to the Dorans. Not Tony asks if it’s her letter of resignation. Jane’s all like, “none of your beeswax, just bring it upstairs.” Not Tony says Tony Tony is going to be thrilled that Jane is stepping aside.
Nona comes up to Jane and asks if she’s moving. Jane says she wasn’t planning on saying anything yet, but as a matter of fact, she’s going back to Indiana. Nona says that her grandmother told her not to let Jane leave. Jane says that’s great, but a) she’s never met Nona’s grandma and b) even if she had, it’s not her choice to make, so back off, Heather. Nona says that if Jane leaves, she’ll lose the only person at the Drake that Nona trusts.
Henry and Olivia shop for engagement rings at some swanky store. Henry says he probably can’t even afford a ring box, but the sales guy assures him, after exchanging a look with Olivia, that nothing costs more than his $3,000 budget. Henry tells Olivia that he proposed to Jane once before, but it was impromptu and Jane said she wanted to wait for them to get settled in the city. Olivia says there’s a right way and a wrong way to get engaged and she doubts Jane would say no to any one of these rings.
Any one of these beauties will bind you to us for life
Gavin takes a phone call from Dr. Sexy who is pissed that Kandinsky killed a couple of people when he escaped. He says the two deaths were NOT part of his deal and their blood is on Gavin’s hands. But Gavin doesn’t care, because Gavin wears other people’s blood as aftershave. He reminds Dr. S. that he was the one who sewed the scalpel into Kandinsky’s belly and what did he think Kandinsky was going to do with it? Dr. Sexy says that he’s paid his debt and he is dunzo. Gavin says that Dr. Sexy is done when Gavin says he’s done. He adds that Dr. S. of all people should know that money is never free.
Meanwhile, Kandinsky is in Gavin’s office and he has a nasty scalpel-shaped hole in his stomach. But Kandinsky is badass, so he just gets down to business, asking Gavin what he needs done.
Gavin explains that Mr. Victor Shaw has a BA from Harvard and an MBA from Wharton. He made his money in shipping and other under circumstances Gavin might admire him. But he stole something from Gavin and Gavin wants it back. Kandinsky says he will find him and bring him back alive. Gavin says that would be a great help.
Speaking of Victor Shaw, Olivia is trying on a necklace at the jewelry store when Mr. Shaw himself pops up behind her in the mirror.

You live in NYC and you have money and you want to buy an engagement ring – where would you go?
Tiffany’s right?! Oh no. You go to Judith Ripka. SMH
The show is finally starting to move a little and get a bit more interesting. Hopefully it will continue on this path. Enjoyed your recap!
@miss molly– there are so many awesome independent jewelers, especially in the diamond district (duh), that i think it’s way better to go to one of them than tiffany.
that said, i really don’t care for henry & jane as a couple. henry seems so vapid, like wind is constantly blowing in the empty space between his ears. even his face is blank.
