"At his place, Ryan asks Greenlee to marry him tonight and won't take no for an answer. Sweeping her off her feet and into his arms, Ryan suddenly screams "Ouch!" Then he asks, "Why'd you pinch me?" "Because I wanted to see if I'm dreaming," Greenlee replies. Ryan tells her she's supposed to pinch herself. "I bruise too easily," she tells him. Ryan laughs and tells her the next time she sees this room she'll be Mrs. Ryan Lavery. Greenlee stops him from carrying her out of the room by throwing her hands against the door frame and makes him sit her down. Greenlee doesn't want a marriage of three: her, Ryan, and Kendall. Ryan tries to wear down her objections because they're such good friends it will work. Plus she gets half the company. "So what do you say? Will you say 'I do'?" Ryan asks. "I," Greenlee hesitates, "gotta run," and rushes out. Ryan follows shouting after her from the doorway, "Is that a yes or a no?"
In Vegas Erica's cell phone rings. It's Jackson on the caller ID. She doesn't answer the call but later listens to Jack's "20th" message asking her to come home now. He tells her she doesn't have to see him if she doesn't want to but Bianca needs her.
While sipping an exotic drink from a pineapple, Opal berates Tad telling him she's ashamed to call him son because he's not in Vegas searching for Erica. Tad tells her Aidan is there and can handle it. Opal protests that Aidan is not family. Tad reminds Opal that no one has her feet nailed to the floor forcing her to "drink 80 proof cough syrup from Carmen Miranda's hat" and tells her she could be out there looking for Erica herself. Opal informs him it's a virgin Kra.k.atoa and asks if his scotch has his brains all tangled up. Upon seeing Krystal and David enter, Opal comments, "Oh I see. It ain't the alcohol. And it sure as shootin' ain't no virgin." Krystal sees Tad and with a huge smile on her face tells David that he (David) is just what she needs. David asks Krystal if Tad is steaming yet. She says that would make him as happy as her because he loves sticking it to Tad. David agrees and says it just may be the start to a perfect evening. Together they toast "to smoke . . . and mirrors . . . and whatever magic may follow." As Krystal keeps staring at Tad though, David offers to let her out of their date so she can so spend time with Tad. Krystal declines the offer because Tad's right, she doesn't love him. David says Tad is never right about anything. Krystal tells David she's committed some pretty horrible deeds. David says that's what keeps life interesting.
Across the room Opal comments to Tad that Dr. Frankenstein and the floozy works for her. Tad says Krystal deserves better. Tad asks if she shouldn't be home with Petey. Opal blows off Tad's attempted subject change and insists Tad is hung up on Krystal. Tad tells her that whatever he is it's still in hibernation. Opal advises him to "prepare for a rough awakening, nature boy" when Liza and Mia enter the club. As Mia berates Liza for chasing after Tad, Liza ignores her and wanders over to Tad and Opal's table. Petey's trainer/babysitter calls just as Liza arrives at the table leaving Tad and Liza alone. Liza tells him she's there to share good news. Ryan asked her and JR to stay on at Chandler Enterprises. She wants Tad on her team as well. Tad declines Liza's offer. No more suits and suites for him.
Ryan enters and announces he's celebrating because he's about to be married. Tad joins Ryan at the bar to ask about he and Kendall's wedding. Ryan tells him that's not whom he is marrying. He tells Tad that instead of accepting his proposal, Kendall wanted to negotiate. So Ryan asked Greenlee to marry him instead. Tad doesn't understand why Ryan would marry the "understudy." Ryan tells Tad she hasn't said yes yet but that regardless of Greenlee's answer, Kendall is history. Ryan vows he has sworn off love forever. Tad warns him, "The heart is a renegade muscle. No man can control it." Seeing Tad's eye's follow as Krystal exits, Ryan asks if she's the one who warranted the warning.
Simone enters to make the list of Tad's suitors complete. She takes a table with Mia. Mia bets her $50 that Kendall is out of the picture over the Greenlee clause and that Ryan is Greenlee's for the taking. Simone takes the bet saying Kendall will reel Ryan back in. Mia leaves before her coach turns into a pumpkin, but Simone wants to stay a while. After Mia is gone, Simone cozies up to Tad who offers her the worldly advice "never wear white socks with black shoes, and never say never."
In Vegas Aidan extends a hand and re-introduces himself to Bobby. Aidan reminds him he was visiting his brother-in-law. "It looked more like you were visiting my wife," Bobby replies. Bobby offers to set Aidan up with a room package for some R&R. Aidan tells him actually he's there on business, as a P.I. Bobby thinks Anita has sent a P.I. to check up on him. "Wow, spoken like a man with a guilty conscience," Aidan observes. Bobby asks if he got in the P.I. business to ask questions that are none of his business. Aidan tells him that's the job description and asks if he's seen "this woman" holding out a picture of Erica. Bobby tells him yes. When Aidan asks where, Bobby tells him on several billboards and magazine covers. "Cute," Aidan comments and asks if he's seen her personally. "Sadly, no," Bobby says. Aidan suggests they try again, and this time with Bobby telling the truth. Bobby is supposed to be the king of hospitality and doesn't like being distrusted. Aidan is following his gut feeling he says. Bobby tells him his instinct and a buck will get him a cup of coffee. Aidan still doesn't trust him and won't let up so Bobby tells him he will spill. Bobby ends up telling Aidan about Erica and Philly and the poker game but nothing else. Bobby asks why he's searching in Vegas anyway. Aidan tells him about Erica's father's death. Bobby then asks how Bianca is doing? This sets off Aidan's radar for Bobby is awfully in the loop for someone who claims to know nothing. Bobby explains his wife, Anita, told him about Bianca losing her baby and that it's not much of a stretch for him to be concerned about a mother and daughter torn apart after one has lost their father and the other her child. Aidan apologizes. As Aidan searches his wallet for a card to give Bobby so he can call if he sees Erica in Vegas, Bobby sees "Desiree" enter the room out of the corner of his eye.
After running out of Ryan's loft, Greenlee went to the hospital searching for Jack and Bianca. She finds Anita instead who tells her she just missed them. Anita is glad to see her though. She wants to know what happened in Philly with Bobby and Erica. Greenlee has no real info for her but says Anita's husband told her they were just pals and she believed him. Anita comments Bobby is good at getting people to believe him. Greenlee then tells Anita about spilling her guts to Bobby and how he swore he was going to do whatever it took to win Anita back. This makes Anita uneasy. She excuses herself to go back to work, but Greenlee says it's her turn to ask something. "Why did you get married?" Greenlee asks Anita. Anita tells her it's because Bobby was the only person she ever wanted to be with. Greenlee suggests that kind of love comes after the wedding for some people. "Not for many," Anita replies. Anita continues going on about all the wonderful aspects of marriage with your true love. Greenlee tells her she had that once, and he died. Now she misses feeling complete. "So do I," Anita agrees. After more talk about how fantastic it is when friendship grows into love, Greenlee thanks Anita and leaves saying she's on her way to see the one person who "can take me where I'm supposed to go."
Liza follows Krystal into the ladies room at the club. Liza assures Krystal she doesn't have to worry. "Honey, I don't worry. Gives you wrinkles," Krystal replies. "Seriously," Liza says, "I'm not going to tell your secret to another living soul." Krystal recovers and says there is no secret, that her life is an open book with big print and no footnotes. Liza doesn't buy the lie and continues telling her because she loves JR and doesn't want to see him hurt she'll keep the secret Tad confided in her but that Krystal should be careful about any evidence safely tucked away. Krystal still denies any secret. Liza leaves the ladies room first. After she's gone Krystal swears to herself she's going to kill Tad for telling Liza about Babe's secret. Krystal then cuts her date short with David claiming a queasy stomach. She rushes home to her bedroom at Chandler mansion and pulls papers out of her closet as Liza watches from the hidden tunnels.
Kendall visits JR and finds him holding Bess. Kendall says she's there to hear some good news, something to give her hope for the future. JR says, "How about a good, old-fashioned wedding?" He proceeds to tell Kendall about he and Babe's second wedding that is being planned. Kendall wants to know how JR managed to trust Babe instead of listening to his dad. JR tells Kendall that sometimes you have to take that leap of faith. Kendall comments she needs a miracle to turn things around with Ryan. JR's advice is to keep herself open to the good stuff and when it comes not to push it away. Kendall says it will never happen because she's too much like her mother. "We don't get happily ever afters," Kendall says. She tells JR about Ryan trying to force her to accept Greenlee and asks JR what he would do if Babe wanted him to give Jamie a job. JR tells her he offered Jamie a position at Chandler Enterprises recently and is disappointed Jamie refused the offer. Kendall says, "Bull!" JR say no bull because it's history between Babe and Jamie. JR tells Kendall she loves Ryan "so go find him and marry him now." Still, even after JR reminds her of all the right things Ryan has done, Kendall hesitates. JR continues telling her how great life is with Babe and their love and tells her again to go after Ryan.
After a while in the club Ryan steps outside for some fresh air where he bumps into David. David asks if it's Kendall or Greenlee giving him heartache this time. Ryan wants to know why he cares. David tells him he'd hate to let a good thing go to waste so maybe it's time he and Kendall had an affair. Saying nothing, Ryan grabs David by the lapels as if ready to punch him out.
Having taken JR's advice, Kendall stands in front of Ryan's door practicing her apology. Greenlee arrives also looking for Ryan. Kendall asks her to leave as she needs to see Ryan alone. Greenlee says she can't because she has to tell Ryan something. Kendall wants to know what it is she must tell him."
