"One of Tanner's old acquaintances from Texas phoned him at Holidays and warned him that he needs to pay his outstanding debt immediately. A look of fear crept across Tanner's face as he promised that he would wire his thousand dollar debt before the night was over. Tanner opened the money drawer of the bar's cash register and lifted the till. With one of his slippery hands lifted a thousand dollars in $50 and $100 bills. With the other, he summoned over one of Holidays' other employees and asked if he could cover the bar for a few minutes while he went to "help a friend" he'd recently met that fell and injured her leg. The employee gave Tanner the go-ahead.
Adam asked Mateo if Isabella is coping with the loss of her husband. Mateo nodded weakly and said that his mother is doing as well as can be expected. Liza approached Jake and asked him how serious his relationship was with Skye. Liza doesn't hide her jealousy very well. It looked as though she stopped breathing as she awaited from his response. Jake said that he had no intentions of marrying Skye and they were just friends. He commented that he found it very odd that Liza would be interested in his love life. After all, he said, she had moved on and married Adam so it can only be expected that he would move on as well.
Marian returned home from her trip to Las Vegas and announced that she would be taking up residence at Chandler Mansion for at least two weeks while she waited for a few houses to be sold. Liza raced over to her mother and told her that if she does not calm down and respect Adam, she'll be forced out. Marian's face slowly formed a grin. She said that Liza is obviously upset because she has yet to consummate her marriage. She warned her that she'd better take the necessary actions immediately or she'd be booted out of the faux marriage in the blink of an eye!
Someone from Holidays called Mateo to inform him that a thousand dollars was missing from the cash register. Mateo excused himself from the dinner party and said that he had urgent business matters to tend to. Before Adam could offer any commentary, Hayley told him to zip his lip. She said that all new businesses have a period of adjustment.
Adam's attorney Barry crashed the party and told Adam that Palmer's acquisition of Occidental Foods seems on the up and up. Adam cursed Palmer's business coup, but issued a warning that he had only one the battle, not the war.
With Marian looking on, Liza raced to her husband's side and planted a kiss on his cheek. Marian nodded her approval. Adam, stunned by the spontaneous display of affection, asked Liza what she was up to. She said that sometimes she cannot help wanting to kiss the man she loves. Hayley decided that it was time for her to hit the road and check on things at Holidays. Skye, not wanting to be left alone with the lovebirds told her father that she and Jake would be leaving. Adam advised Jake to drive carefully because his daughter was "precious cargo."
Marian was not about to let her presence prevent any romance between Adam and Liza, so she announced that she would be turning in for the evening. Liza told Adam a story of one of her former flames, Ernesto, and how they made a public display of affection in a New York museum. Adam's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets as he heard the vivid details of Liza's sexual exploits. He quickly faked a yawn to try to get away from Liza and her storytelling. When Adam started to walk towards the stairs, Liza jumped from her seat and latched on to his arm. The two reluctantly made their way up the steps.
Scott told Laura that they had better get going because their curfews were approaching. Laura smiled broadly as she told him that her curfew had been suspended for the evening because of the adoption festivities. Scott wished Laura had told him sooner because he could have taken her someplace where they could be alone. After realizing that there wasn't a place to be alone, he told Laura that he is thinking of getting a dorm room at college so he can have a place to be alone with her. Brooke must have the hearing power of a bunny because she suddenly raced over to the table and suggested that Laura head home. Scott told Brooke that he would take her home.
Back at her table, Brooke and Pierce both agreed that the time apart from each other had done them good. Brooke told her story of nearly falling back in love with Adam. Pierce asked Brooke if she'd care to dance and the two headed to the dance floor.
Laura had to return to Holidays to pick up a book she had left by the fireplace. She was ecstatic to see Brooke and Pierce dancing together.
Tanner told Mateo that he believes a man wearing suspenders was responsible for the disappearing cash. He created a story in which the man gave him a $100 bill for drinks and then watched him place the bill under the till. He said that he would go to the police station and file a report.
Edmund wanted to know how long after falling into Dimitri's arms did Maria have sex with him. Maria said that she had no idea and that she can barely remember all that transpired that evening. Edmund blasted his wife as a "horrible liar" and said that at the very least, his wife can give him the truth. Again, Maria explained that she does not "understand all that happened" that night and explained that if she cannot figure out what happened then there is no way that Edmund will be able to know what happened. Edmund's face remained cold and expressionless. He told his wife that she must have panicked the morning after her affair when he came to the door of the hunting lodge in search of her. He said that while he was trying to find his wife, she was laying naked in bed reveling in the glory of her affair. Maria denied the claims. Edmund indicated that he was through with Maria, but before he could leave she asked him what would happen to Sam. Edmund asked his wife if she would explain to their son how she got pregnant. As they talked, a frantic call came through on Edmund's cell phone. Erica asked Edmund to find Maria and send her to the hospital because Dimitri was in a car accident. He said that he would send his wife as soon as he found her. He hung up the phone and broke the news to Maria. Maria gathered her belongings and headed to the door. Edmund refused to accompany her to the hospital. He said that his brother is already dead.
At the hospital, Maria told Erica that Dimitri would pull through and that his condition was not as serious as it could be. There was no cranial bleeding and his increased brain activity could bring about his regaining consciousness at any time. Erica was overjoyed and thanked Maria for being there for her. As she asked where Edmund was, Dimitri's eyes fluttered and he regained consciousness."
