"Mia knocks on Ryan's door to see how he's doing. He draws her into the room and kisses her. They make love again. Afterward, Ryan asks, "Why did you come here again?" Mia reminds him that she lives in this motel too she was just being neighborly. Ryan teases her, asking if she does this with all the neighbors, but they both know she doesn't. He tells her that isn't what he meant; he was talking about her snooping and wonders if she's there to do it again. She feigns innocence, but he says he knew she had gone through his things. She admits that she does that sometimes. She tells him about going to live with her uncle after her mother died, and asking him about her father. Her uncle would shut down and she would go through his papers to see if she could find out anything about her father. "Is that why you're here?" Ryan asks. "I do this when I like someone," she confesses. When Ryan asks why she would want to learn more about him, she simply says, "Because I like you."
Ryan takes a picture from the wooden box; he shows her a picture of his mother. "I love this picture," she tells him. She didn't think it was possible for that to be his mother, she looked kind of, silly and goofy. He tells her that he took the picture on a "Blue Sky day," she asks, "What's that?" He recalls some of his few fond memories of childhood and tells her some of the crazy, meaningless and wonderful things he and his brother enjoyed with his mom when his father wasn't around. He tells her when his father was there, his mother was darkness, when he was gone, and she was sunshine. When Mia says she sounds great, Ryan says on those days she was, but on others, she was a mess. She bought him the camera he used on that day, they had such a good time, and he must have taken four rolls of film. She asks what happened to the rest of the pictures, he says his dad come home from a trip or a binge the day they had them developed, he grabbed them all and threw them in the fireplace. "I used to love Blue Sky Days," he says. She observes that his father had taken her away from him when he was there and took her away from him again when he left them behind. He agrees and says, "I've been looking for Blue Sky Days ever since."
Bianca confronts Frankie about what's going on. She thinks it's because she's gay, and Frankie is afraid she'll hit on her. She tells Frankie she'll stay elsewhere tonight and that she's backing off. She's surprised when Frankie tells her that's not what she wants. When Bianca asks what she does want, Frankie says just what they've been doing, "Taking it easy, hanging out, nothing." Hurt, Bianca says it's not anything. Frankie says she didn't expect this and her friend asks what she's trying to say. Just then Vanessa bursts in the door, with Opal hot on her heels. Vanessa demands, "Are you Mary Frances Stone?" Opal tells her to chill out and Frankie tells Vanessa, "Oh, yeah, you're my mom's sister, no doubt about it." When Frankie asks Opal what difference it makes, Opal informs her it's the difference between sleeping in her home and sleeping on a bench at the bus depot. Why did she keep this from everyone? She asks and did Frankie have any idea what it was like to have Erica Kane rip her head off? Vanessa wants Frankie to call her mother right now and get a plane back home where she belongs. She'll even pay for the ticket herself. Frankie says she doesn't have a home and is staying in Pine Valley. Opal says she can understand and forgive a lot, and that sorry excuse for a female that just stormed out of here was certainly the biggest thorn of all thorns in her side, but. Frankie knew whom Vanessa was married to, and whom Opal was. But, she forgot to mention that when Bianca asked Opal to give her a job and a place to stay. Why, she even defended her to her best friend. She tells Frankie she's not going to toss her out in the middle of the night, but tomorrow morning she has to find herself another place to stay. As she leaves the room, Opal tells Bianca she's sorry, it didn't have to be this way.
Bianca says that they'll find Frankie another place tomorrow, but Frankie says no, because she's out of here. "So that's it, you just cut and run?" Bianca asks. She says Frankie's so full of it she's going to use Opal and Vanessa as excuses to leave town, when she's really leaving because of her. She asked Frankie some tough questions, and she didn't want to answer them. She asks Frankie if she knows how hard this is for her. She's having her usual deja vu' she likes someone, they like her, things are going great, and suddenly an alarm goes off for the other person and it's like a neon sign flashing, "I am not gay," and then they leave. Frankie tells her not to put words in her mouth, or thoughts in her head. Bianca tells Frankie, "I'm done. For one time in my life, I'm the one pulling back first. Have a nice life" as she walks out the door.
Erica runs into Jack at the Valley Inn and immediately starts to berate him for not being available to her. Jack notes that Erica's driver is always on the job, but Erica accuses him of deserting his family when he rejoined the DA's office; she tells him she'll never forgive him for that. Jack says he would never desert his family, but Erica insists he has completely let her down on this Frankie Stone thing. She found out for herself that she is Vanessa Cortlandt's niece. Jack suggests that maybe Frankie just came to Pine Valley to say hello to family and asks, "So Frankie never told Bianca?" When Erica admits she did tell Bianca, Jack advises her to leave this girl alone. Erica retorts she's not going to leave her alone and certainly not alone with Bianca. Jack tells Erica not to interfere; she has to accept that Bianca is going to be alone with women at some point. Erica insists it's not about sexuality, but Jack says she's no fool. Chris returns to the dining room and tells Erica he got the car; he'll take her home.
When they get back to Erica's house, she continues to rail about Jack not having time for his family, their legal concerns and life issues. Chris tells Ms. Kane he knows Jack has some pretty big shoes to fill, but he'd like a shot at filling them. Erica looks at him in a new light and says he doesn't have to. She thanks him for getting the information on Frankie. Agent Stamp tells her he knows all about Vanessa, that she's a known con artist from way back, but he doesn't know Frankie's motives. Erica confides in him that she's worried about Bianca choosing Frankie over her. She feels like it's Bianca who's throwing herself in front of her car, and just wants to keep her daughter from getting hurt. "You really are the only one who understands. Chris," Erica says, "Thank you." Pleased, Chris tells Erica, "This is the first time you've looked me in the eye and not said Mr. Stamp." Ms. Kane says she wants him to call her Erica, and Chris replies that's music to his ears. "I want you to call me Erica, before you kiss me," she tells him. "Erica, Erica, Erica." he says, and then kisses her. He lifts her up in his arms and carries her up the stairs...
Later, Erica comes downstairs as Bianca comes home. She tells her mother she's not seeing Frankie any more; she could breathe her sigh of relief now. Erica reiterates that, if she had gotten involved with that girl, it would have been wrong. Bianca asks when is it going to be right for her, in Erica's mind, to have a girlfriend, a relationship like straight people have? When would it be all right with Erica for her to have sex? She gets it; she says it will never be all right. She knows Erica's just waiting for her to get over this gay thing and meet a man, but it's not going to happen. Erica uncomfortably says they should talk about this, but now is not the right time. As Bianca's questioning why they can't talk then, Chris comes down the stairs from the bedroom with his shirt unbuttoned.
Leo and Laura talk about Greenlee; Leo says she has to be stopped Laura begs him to leave it alone he might make it worse. Leo still can't believe Greenlee actually went to a therapist and pretended to be his wife, then put a cuckoo bird in Laura's purse. She's warped, he says, and wonders what's next? Leo says Greenlee would be better off without Jake; he enables her. Laura says she's tired and they agree to go home. Laura looks in her purse and says, "Oh, no! My house keys are gone." Leo says, "Greenlee!"
Greenlee is startled as she's about to enter the du Pres condo; it's Jake, putting a restraining hand on her shoulder. He's there with some bad news, he tells her, "You're going to jail!" He urges her not to break in; he knows she's going to try to prove Laura's crazy. Greenlee says he should have heard Laura in the ladies' room. She says that Laura's stupid she actually told her she had a plan written, and she's going to find it. Greenlee tells Jake that, if he cares about her at all, he'll let her do this and just forget about it. She enters the condo and begins to look for Laura's journal. Jake says he'll give her five seconds to wrap this up and leave with him, or he'll leave her there. He'll send her a card at Statesville. He says he knows what it's like to lose someone you love so much; he went to a war zone and practically dared them to kill him; it was like digging his own grave. Greenlee says that's exactly what Laura said, and that she was going to help her do it. "She said that?" he asks. When Greenlee insists that Laura told her of this written plan, Jake suddenly feels like it's a setup. Just then, they hear a car pulling up. "Oh my god, Jake, is it them?" Jake tells her not to move, and peers out the window. "Honey, they're home," he tells Ms. Smythe.
Leo and Laura walk into the condo to find Jake in the living room. He tells them he came by, and the keys were in the door he's done it dozens of times himself. Leo asks where Greenlee is, and Jake says she was upset and he took her home. Leo says, "I don't believe you." He tells Jake about the cuckoo bird piece in Laura's purse, and says if Greenlee even looks funny at his wife, he'll go after her himself. They hear a noise from the bedroom, and Leo goes to check it out. He returns and says there's nothing in there, but it sounded like a window had slammed shut. He asks what Jake thinks it is, and Jake says, "Beats me!" Leo suggests his wife get ready for bed, and Laura says goodnight to Jake. Leo tells Jake he sees how nervous Laura is, and Greenlee's done that to her. He can't let this go on; he will make it stop. He asks Jake if he's going to tell him why he really showed up there, but Jake only apologizes as he leaves. Greenlee is waiting for Jake in the courtyard. She hugs him and thanks him for covering for her. They leave together, as Leo watches from the window. Laura comes out of the bedroom and looks for Leo. "Where did you go now?" she asks.
Back at the loft, Jake tells Greenlee he almost didn't cover for her but, when Leo told him about the stupid cuckoo bird, he knew that was completely not her style. "You are nuts," he tells her, but that stupid bird thing borders on the psychotic. Jake reminds Ms. Smythe that she pushed Laura off a yacht, but she blames it on the Libidizone--she was drugged. Jake says Laura's been through a lot; she tells Jake, "Trust me when I say she's rebounded." Jake says he does know now why Greenlee's so desperate prove Laura's out to get her. "I do believe you," he tells her, and Greenlee thanks him
Leo storms into the dining room at the Valley Inn and interrupts Jack's evening with a beautiful woman. He just needs five minutes, he tells Jack. When Jack excuses himself and joins Leo, Leo tells him that he wants Greenlee arrested for breaking and entering, disturbing the peace, reckless endangerment and harassment. "I want her thrown in jail tonight," he tells Jack."
