Biography[]

Early Life[]

Emily Thorne first sees Daniel Grayson at Harvard University as Amanda Clarke. Posing as a student, she watches him from afar while a seemingly drunk Daniel quotes William Blake's The Marriage of Heaven and Hell to another student: "If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is: infinite." Daniel applies this to wanting infinite freedom from the Grayson family's expectations and the world's perception of being a Grayson. Calling her 'study bug', the two later approach her to settle the argument, just as she was about to leave. When asked if she knew who Daniel is, she says no, so the girl introduces him as a soon-to-be rich man who wants to throw it all away to become a "penniless" poet since he can't be both at the same time because his parents would never allow it. The girl thinks the idea is crazy, but Amanda tells him that there's nothing more poetic than just proving to everyone that he is a different man compared to his parents. ("Perception")

In "Trust" Emily and Daniel met at the Polo match where Daniel invited Emily on a date, but it wasn't until Emily announced that she was the new owner of the beach house in the Grayson Manor that they both planned to go on a date. During the date they both opened up about their true feelings and when they reached Emily's house they got surprised by the Housewarming Bash. When the party ended they both met again for a goodbye kiss.

The pair becomes closer and Daniel proposes, to which Emily says yes. After the death of Sammy, Emily and Jack share a kiss. Ashley is looking into the window when they kiss, and imediately tells Daniel. When he confronts Emily about it, she admits to it, and they split. 

Season 2[]

Initially Emily and Daniel are not in an relationship, having separated several months before. During this time Daniel starts a relationship with Ashley Davenport. After having left the Hamptons for several months, Emily returns to a memorial for Victoria, briefly reuniting her with Daniel.

While Daniel remains with Ashley (unaware of Ashley using the relationship to keep him away from the company business for Conrad Grayson), Emily begins dating Aiden Mathis, much to Daniel's jealousy. Although secretly remaining in a relationship for some time Emily and Aiden publicly split up at a restaurant that they are aware Daniel is at in order for Emily to try and open a relationship with Daniel.

Very shortly after this Daniel and Emily meet on the porch of her home and exchange a kiss and beginning a new relationship. For Emily this relationship is only a ruse and she is using it to obtain connections and influence with the Graysons inorder to get to the Americon Initiative. Aiden is aware of this yet still harbours resentment that he has to keep his distance from her and that Emily is in relations with Daniel. As such Emily tells Daniel she wants to take the relationship very slowly and allow them to get to know each other again.

Daniel flies Emily to the West Coast under the ruse of going for a meal, having in fact an important meeting to obtain a company for which he wishes her good influence to help him obtain (although also offering her plenty of free time relaxing).

Upon receiving information from Victoria Grayson that his life and those of the people he cares for are in danger from the Americon Initiative Daniel rings Emily Thorne and ends their relationship for her safety (although he tells her its simply due to him being too busy as CEO to have time for her).

After getting back together, Daniel shows up to Emily's house with her engagement ring telling her that if she put the ring back on the next time he saw her they would be engaged again. They kiss and then Daniel leaves, Emily says Yes!

Daniel and Emily set sail for their honeymoon family cruise, where Daniel is shocked with news that Sara attempted suicide. Daniel leaves to get air when he overhears Emily confessing to Victoria that she was never pregnant. Daniel in a drunken rage shoots Emily twice in her stomach over her lies. 

After Emily is discovered and hospitalized, Daniel tells Victoria that she was right all along about Emily, and that he intends to confess to the police.  He keeps a distance from Emily, who is suffering amnesia from the fall off the yacht.  After she regains her memory and discovers that she is unable to have children due to the shooting, her resolve to finish her revengenda is strengthened.  She targets Lydia Davis as the shooter during a press conference, and makes it clear to Victoria and Daniel that she is not going anywhere.  She claims to still love Daniel, although she actually despises him for making her barren.

Emily: (spills drink on Daniel's coat) Oh, my God!
Daniel: Aw.

Emily: Emily.
Daniel: How about I get you a dry Martini? Twice the alcohol, half the stain potential.
Emily: Sure. I'm sorry.

Emily: I don't know. How many?
Daniel: One, and the whole world just revolves around him. One more?
Emily: Drink or joke?
Daniel: Either. Both.
Emily: Mm, neither. I am just buzzed enough to find that last joke funny. One more, and I might think that you meant it. But don't let me stop you.
