"In his Paris hotel room, Leo nervously got dressed for his meeting with the Count. He flashed back to a conversation he had with Vanessa, when she told him that the Count didn't know about him. Greenlee helped him get his tie on and said she hoped the Count liked Leo. Leo said he wasn't looking for his approval the way she wants Roger's. Greenlee said she wants Roger to walk her down the aisle, which started a small argument. She still hoped that the Count could be some sort of dad to Leo. Leo told her to drop it, that he was just there for the money. She reminded him that he once told her his biggest regret was not knowing his father. Leo said that Vanessa told him the Count was just a money laundering partner, that their's wasn't a love affair. This made Greenlee realize that the Count could be as dangerous as Vanessa and she told Leo she was going with him to meet his father. Leo said absolutely not but Greenlee insisted. She said she had the power to keep him safe because of her high rank as an executive at Revlon. Leo wasn't sure about that but a knock on the door interrupted them. Greenlee opened the door and an older well dressed gentleman was standing there. In a thick French accent he asked for Leo who stepped up to the door. The man looked at him and said "I understand you have something to say to me. I'm Count DuPres." He was ushered in and he continued, saying that he came to their hotel because the "walls have ears" at his house. Leo asked if he knew Vanessa and if they were lovers. The Count admitted that yes she was his mistress. Leo asked if he was his father. Count DuPres was a bit speechless and Leo said Vanessa had told him that information when he was little. He said Vanessa told him the Count demanded she either have an abortion or he would leave her. Leo told the Count about seeing him once at a ski resort and how he wanted to call out to him but didn't. The Count said he didn't know if Leo was his son or not because Vanessa's story wasn't the truth. He claimed that Vanessa had never told him she was pregnant and that until Leo's phone call last night he didn't know Leo existed.
