"Roger showed up uninvited on the Fidelity with a peace offering bottle of champagne and his congratulations regarding their engagement. Leo was going to make him leave but Greenlee stopped him and told him, "She wanted her father to see what true love looks like." Greenlee and Roger bickered back and forth. Roger revealed to the shocked Leo and Greenlee that he knew Vanessa and that they went way back. Leo sent Greenlee off to put the champagne on ice. As soon as Greenlee was out of sight, Leo told Roger to "spill it." Roger then went on about how he had traveled in the same social circles with Vanessa and went on to blackmail Leo by showing him what appeared to be a newspaper article revealing information that Leo was trying to keep hidden. Roger then threatened Leo that he would expose his secret unless Leo "keeps him in the style in which he is accustomed" after he marries Greenlee and her vast fortune. Greenlee then interrupted them with the champagne for their toast.
Dixie ran into Tad at the mall and they exchanged a few words with each other quickly realizing that Opal had set them both up to be at the mall at the same time. Tad invited Dixie to join him for a cup of coffee and she smiled and readily agreed. Dixie and Tad discussed how they felt about each other and Dixie admitted to Tad that she felt closer to him than to any other person. Tad told her that he felt the same way about her. They spoke about their dreams and Tad told her that only two things scared him, somebody he cares about hurting the way he did when he was being tormented by Ray Gardner, and going through life without Dixie. He told her he didn't need her to protect him anymore, that he needed her to love him, only him. She told him that she hoped some day she could do that because he deserved that. Tad whisked her away to the hospital for a checkup when he found out that she was a week overdue for her monthly checkup, telling her that she isn't the only one who liked to feel needed.
Jake entered David's hospital room in an unusually good mood. Jake told him he was there to spread the good word that David's transfer had gone through and he was on his way to Statesville. David didn't buy it until Jake informed him that he knew that he had taken potassium that was stolen out of the medicine cabinet to alter his heart rate. Jake informed him that he was now going to take David down to the lab for a blood test that he would monitor himself to find out if indeed David's potassium level was elevated and that once Jake had proof that David's potassium level was in fact high, David would be spending that very night in Statesville prison.
By the nurses' station, Leslie was wandering around waiting for her transfer to Oak Haven. She spied a deliveryman with some large metal canisters filled with some type of gas. The deliveryman informed her that they were filled with a new anesthetic, like nitric oxide (laughing gas), that was odorless and colorless and that if given in large doses, can be quite deadly.
Anna, Dimitri, and Dr. Martin were in the ER with the young thief that had been lurking around Pine Valley. Anna tried to get him to speak and at least give his name but to no avail. Dimitri showed concern because Anna was giving the mysterious young man special concern and attention though she scarcely knew him. In the hallway, Gillian tried to convince Ryan to call the police and report that the stranger was seen previously stealing money off tables at BJs. Ryan refused to turn him in because he had been in that young lad's boots before and did not feel he was particularly dangerous, but just down on his luck.
The door to the ER burst open and Bianca came in with an ailing Laura hanging off her arm. Dr. Joe Martin approached the two girls and questioned them as to what was happening with Laura. Laura admitted to Joe that she had taken quite a bit of Ecstasy and couldn't breathe. She then slumped to the floor. Brooke entered the ER as they wheeled her daughter away for treatment. Brooke quizzed Bianca about what had happened to Laura. Bianca informed Brooke that Laura had been suspended from school and told her about the dirty pictures of Laura that were posted on her locker for all to see and how she had overreacted by hitting Shannon. Brooke then went on to share stories about Laura with Bianca such as the first time she had met her. Bianca told Brooke how much Laura loved her and how thankful she was to have her.
Leslie flirted with her guard comparing him to David Hasselhoff as she eyed the gas tanks. She then faked a dry throat and requested he go get her some water promising him that she would not move an inch in his absence. Predictably, as soon as the guard was out of sight, Leslie opened the valves on each one of the four tanks quickly filling the ER with the deadly gas. As Leslie was donning an oxygen mask, her guard returned with her water and quickly dropped to the floor in a faint. Everybody in the ER began dropping like flies. Leslie began to make her getaway move when Joe Martin entered and yelled at her to stay where she was. She then lunged toward a flare gun (that had been taken from the Fidelity by the mysterious young man being treated by Anna) and fired toward Joe missing him but starting a fire.
Pat Trowbridge entered the hospital corridor where Jake, David and the guard were en route on to the lab, laughing about something "going on" in the ER and how people are dropping like flies. Without warning, she passed out into Jake's arms. Jake went to call the ER and find out what was going on but first warned the guard not to take his eyes off of David. David, however, had plans of his own and grabbed the guard's gun and aiming it at him while forcing him to handcuff himself to a pipe in the hallway. Meanwhile, Leslie ran out of the hospital and placed the handle of a broom across the door handles in an attempt to prevent anybody from following her as she made her getaway.
Placing a handkerchief over his nose and mouth., David ran into the ER and quickly assessed the situation, David then turned the gas off and broke through the broom handle on the door to prop open the doors for air. He then used a fire extinguisher to extinguish the fire and placed the oxygen mask he found on the counter on Brooke and pulled Bianca outside into the fresh air. He next pulled Joe Martin outside just at Tad and Dixie came running up. After he saved Joe, he fainted in Dixie's lap."
