"A grumpy Greenlee returned to WRCW from the hospital visit and lashed out at Leo when he asked her how everything had gone. In a snit, Greenlee revealed that only Christian and Tina had gotten to observe the "dream" coming true. Christian, Tina and Ryan appeared in the doorway. Greenlee tried to convince Christian to return to the hospital in the morning so that a camera crew could capture him interacting with Betsy. Repeatedly, Greenlee called the girl "Betty," showing that she didn't really care about the young girl's dream fulfillment. Christian offered to return in the fall after BBMak's tour; he said that he was really interested in helping to make his fan's dreams a reality. Greenlee became agitated and continued to pester the singer. Ryan finally tired of her routine and asked Leo to take Tina and Christian on a tour of the studio. Once the coast was clear, Ryan blasted Greenlee for her bad attitude. Greenlee explained that they needed to seize the opportunity to capture the moment to publicize the website. Ryan explained that the camera crew had been barred from the room because Betsy's parents didn't want their daughter to be taped. Greenlee was irked and told Ryan that he needed to keep the investors happy and make sure that those requesting dreams pay up. This was a chance to heavily promote the site and, in Greenlee's words, Ryan had blown it. Ryan's face fell. First, he asked Greenlee if she'd wanted in as a partner in the company. Then, he asked her if she was so disappointed by his business strategy why she continued to hang around with "a loser" like him. Greenlee was shocked into silence. She told Ryan that she didn't mean that, but it was too late. Ryan turned and walked out of the office. Leo returned and Greenlee immediately blamed him for everything that had gone wrong. Greenlee sat down and typed another bogus dream letter from her online alter ego, Cynthia. Later, Ryan replied to the message and urged Cynthia to meet him for a dance at the "rollout party" being held at SOS. He asked that she wear a white flower so that he'd be able to pick her out of the crowd. Greenlee checked her email and found the letter to Ryan. She smiled devilishly as she figured out how she'd make her next move.
Giddier than she's been in weeks, Esther skipped into the restaurant and told Stuart that the car seemed to be working. Stuart again stated that he wasn't ready to leave because he felt that there was "something about this place" that could help him regain his lost memories. Marilyn strolled in from the outside and informed the couple that they weren't going to be going anywhere anytime soon. The car was fixed, but only temporarily. In order to be good as new, she'd need to order a part. Judd breezed past and overheard Esther telling Stuart how badly she wanted to get to Las Vegas so that they could renew their wedding vows. He remarked that a Las Vegas wedding chapel ceremony didn't sound very romantic. Stuart offered to help Judd hang the "Queen of Hearts" sign outside the restaurant. Stuart was intrigued by the name, but even more so by Judd's explanation of why he'd decided to call the restaurant by that name. He said that he used to call him wife his "queen of hearts." Stuart's face lit up. "Of course!" he shouted. Esther watched nervously, but to her delight failed to make the connection to his own past. Esther asked that the part for her car be ordered as soon as possible. Marilyn assured her that it'd be done, but that it might take a while because she was driving a very old car. With everyone out of site, Judd counted up some money, placed it in an envelope and then placed the envelope in his denim jacket. From around a nearby corner, Marilyn watched her father closely. Judd left the restaurant to look for something and the young woman sprung into action. She plucked the envelope from the jacket and practically drooled as she counted the money. Aloud, she said that she was finally going to be able to make it to Las Vegas. She turned around and found Stuart smiling at her. To Marilyn's surprise, Stuart told her that he didn't want her to go because he'd miss her. She cracked a smile and asked him why he'd miss her; she'd been nothing but mean to him. Stuart told Marilyn that he was sure that her father would miss her. She doubted it, saying that he hasn't been the same since her mother died. Stuart handed the girl some money from his wallet and told her to use the extra money to make sure that she spent the night somewhere safe. Marilyn was amazed by Stuart's generosity and overcome by his concern. She handed Stuart his money and placed the envelope of cash back into her dad's jacket. She cleared her throat and said that she'd decided that she'd stick around until the part she'd ordered came in. She smiled and said that she wanted to make sure that it was replaced properly. When Judd returned, Stuart asked him if he could have a job at the restaurant. Judd warned Stuart that the pay wasn't good, but Stuart assured him that that was not an issue. Esther wandered back and was dismayed to hear Judd extend her a job offer as well. Stuart grinned merrily and told Esther that it looked like they were going to be sticking around for a while.
Arlene urged Adam to sleep off his drunkenness. In his ear, she whispered a subliminal message for Adam to seize control of Chandler Enterprises... and then give her a heap of cash. Marian and Liza returned home and stopped in their tracks upon seeing Arlene and Adam on the sofa together. Arlene put her finger over her lips to silence them. Marian was not pleased to see that Arlene's idea of "comforting" Adam included a bottle of alcohol. Arlene shifted her weight to one foot and told Liza that Adam owed her some money. Liza snickered and told Arlene that she didn't believe. Adam stirred slightly before waking up. He saw the three women standing nearby and groaned audibly. "The three witches... I'm doing MacBeth," he snarled. As he became more alert, Adam ordered the trio to leave his home. Arlene agreed to leave. Marian and Liza offered to call her a cab, but Arlene assured them that she could drive herself. Liza sat next to Adam and invited him to join them at the Gatehouse for a viewing of the latest edition of "Wave." Adam turned down the offer. Liza explained that Colby was now able to recognize Hayley when watching the television. As an added bit of good tidings, Liza explained that Colby sat with her doll and babbled on for minutes at a time. She and Marian both laughed and stated that it looked like the baby was mimicking Hayley. Adam cast them a cold glance and blasted them for trying to use Colby to make him feel better. Adam told Liza that she was right when she'd decided that she should keep Colby away from him. Liza headed upstairs to gather some of her belongings and Adam returned to a half-empty bottle of booze. Marian snatched the bottle away from him and sternly told her son and brother-in-law that she would not allow him to drink until he numbed his pain. Adam cocked his head and asked Marian why she cared about what he did. Marian explained that Stuart would have wanted them to be civil to one another. She said that she'd changed for the better since meeting Stuart. Adam coldly asked her how long she expected her reformation to last now that Stuart was dead. Matter-of-factly, Adam told Marian that his feelings for her hadn't changed: he still hated her. "The last thing I need is consolation from the town tramp!" he snapped. Liza returned to the room and scolded Adam for being mean to her mother. Adam told Marian that he's known Stuart longer than anyone and that none of Stuart's goodness had rubbed off on him. Marian swore that Stuart was still with her. "No he's not, you stupid woman!" Adam growled. "He's dead!" By now, both Marian and Adam were in tears. Marian stepped out of the room and Liza tried to get Adam out of his funk. She said that she'd leave behind one of Colby's stuffed animals so that Colby would have something to play with when she visited him. Adam told Liza to take the toy with her because he didn't want to be bothered by anyone again.
At SOS, Brooke approached Hayley and told her that Arlene had taken one of her cars. Hayley rolled her eyes as she figured out that "took" actually meant "stole." Brooke apologized for having had to trouble Hayley with the situation. Hayley begged Brooke not to let her mother "suck" her into her troubled life. Hayley said that she had to deal with Arlene --- because Arlene was her mother. Brooke, on the other hand, didn't have to be troubled by her. Brooke recited the line Arlene had muttered before passing out at the shelter, "I'm afraid I did it again." She was sure that Arlene had hit someone else. Mateo suggested that the call the police, but Brooke was opposed to the idea. Hayley informed Mateo that it was an off-duty policeman who'd struck and killed Brooke's daughter, Laura. Tina and Christian returned to the club, but Christian politely declined Adrian's request for BBMak to play at Incredible Dream's party. He explained that he and the rest of the band only had this one night off before starting their tour. Tina followed Christian out of the club and pleaded with him to reconsider. Christian sensed that Adrian was Tina's "bloke," or boyfriend, and said that he'd help her out. Tina explained that she and Adrian were not and item, but she admitted that a BBMak performance might nudge things in the right direction. Arlene swaggered into the club and smiled broadly upon seeing Adrian. She tried to win him over with sexual innuendoes, but it didn't work. Arlene wandered over to Brooke, Hayley and Mateo's table and flashed a grin. Brooke was relieved that Arlene was safe, but her face fell when she smelled alcohol on Arlene's breath. Arlene told Brooke not to worry because she could handle her liquor. "It's not like I mowed down a Girl Scout troop," Arlene replied with a laugh. Without warning, Brooke slapped Arlene across the face and flashed her an icy glare."
