As Leo arrives at the hotel room, Vanessa is gasping out her confession that she's the one that killed Paolo, not Leo. She put the drug in his drink, but she never meant to kill him. Leo is heart-broken that his mother could do this to him and rushes out of the room, followed by Erica. Vanessa is almost as shocked when David informs her that she's not having a heart-attack, he just gave her a drug to imitate the symptoms. He holds up the small tape to show her that every word of her confession has been captured on it. She turns to Palmer for help, but is surprised to learn that he was in on the whole thing. But when David tries to leave with the tape, Palmer takes it from him and tells David that he will deal with Vanessa. Meanwhile, in the park, Erica has caught up with Leo and tries to sympathize with him. I know how you're feeling, she tells him, "I used to idolize my father, too." Leo pushes Erica away and tells her she couldn't possibly understand, his whole world has been destroyed today. David arrives and Leo accuses him of trying to destroy his life. Back in the hotel room, Vanessa continues lying to Palmer, trying to tell him that she didn't have an affair with Paolo, that she only slept with him because he was blackmailing her. Palmer doesn't believe her for a moment and grins as he waves the tape in her face, promising that she will get exactly what she deserves.
