"Walking slowly towards Greenlee, Wade pointed the barrel of his handgun into Greenlee's throat. Greenlee pleaded for her safety, begging to know what she had to do to escape Wade's wrath. A sinister smile planted firmly on his face, Wade assured Greenlee that he would not harm her. "You're too valuable to me," he sneered. Leo and Woodruff, however, were another story. Wade demanded that Greenlee get him a sizable amount of money and a passport so that he could flee the country. Greenlee initially refused, but Wade threatened to give Leo a "nine millimeter sendoff." Greenlee panicked and told Wade that the money wasn't a problem. The passport, though, would be a little more difficult.
Now seated next to Brooke, Edmund delicately asked Brooke how she could have forgotten that Eliot was the man who had killed her daughter. Brooke explained that several inmates "rearranged" Eliot's face for him. Her face fell as she asked herself why she hadn't recognized Eliot's voice or his eyes. "I betrayed her!" shouted Brooke, referring to Laura. "I fell in love with the man who killed my daughter!" One by one, Brooke began to review all of her failed relationships. She wondered why all of her recent relationships --- with Adam, Tad, Pierce and Jim --- had been doomed to fail. Brooke started to sob uncontrollably, burying her face in Edmund's chest. Brooke tried to regain her composure. As she walked back into the living room, she told Edmund that she has many things to be thankful for in her life. "When I count my blessings there's always the one that got away," she said softly, her voice cracking. Edmund consoled Brooke, but admitted that the pain of losing her daughter will never go away. He tried his best to put a positive spin on the situation with Eliot. Brooke told Edmund that Eliot had returned to town seeking forgiveness, but she snarled that he was not going to receive forgiveness from her. Edmund warned Brooke that her anger and her sorrow were eating her up. He asked her if it was possible to confront Eliot and try to put some of the hatred behind her.
Arlene called out for Winifred when the front doorbell sounded. Arlene waited and waited, but no one showed up to answer the door. Grousing all the way, Arlene walked to the door and opened it herself. On the other side, Vanessa, smiling broadly, greeted Arlene and invited herself into the house. Vanessa told Arlene that she'd dropped by to return the egg she'd been given as payment for her services. Vanessa explained that Palmer had fallen in love with her "all over again" when he learned how she'd been blackmailing Arlene. Arlene sat back down on the sofa and grimaced as another wave of pain flashed in her belly. Vanessa mused that Arlene must have had some night of drinking. She walked to the liquor cart and poured Arlene a glass of brandy. Arlene pushed the glass away, quickly muttering that she couldn't drink because she was pregnant. Vanessa laughed loudly and told Arlene that Adam wasn't going to buy the pregnancy bit. Arlene sighed and said that she really was pregnant --- and that Adam already knew. Vanessa praised Arlene's ingenuity and headed to the kitchen to get some tea. Vanessa returned and swore to Arlene that she said nothing to the staff about the cramps she was experiencing. Arlene wasn't so sure that she'd kept quiet, but Vanessa aloofly replied that she'd never been one to chat with the help. Adam returned home and asked to speak to Arlene in private. Vanessa scurried off to the kitchen claiming that she needed to get a Pigeon Hollow recipe for Palmer. Adam wasn't at all pleased by Arlene's decision to go against Hayley and Mateo's adoption plan. Arlene claimed that she'd declined the offer for Adam's sake; she said she knew that Adam could never sign off on his child. Arlene asked Adam to sit down in the chair so that they could finish their conversation. Adam admitted that, under normal circumstances, he would never give up his flesh and blood. This time, he asserted, things were different --- he was trying to do what was right for the child. Adam informed Arlene that his future was with Liza and Colby and that he was planning to move in with Liza. Arlene feared that she was being given the boot and protested what she saw as Liza moving in on her territory. Adam kindly explained that he was the one moving out. Arlene claimed that she needed to be taken care of now that she was pregnant. Adam had an answer for that too, saying that he'd hired someone to watch over her. Arlene also pleaded that Adam stick around to be a daddy to her child. Adam surprised Arlene by handing her an envelope. With a tone of what could almost be labeled regret, Adam told Arlene that the envelope contained divorce papers. He told her that she didn't have the sign them until her attorney looked at them, however, he assured her that the terms were "more than generous." Arlene threw the envelope to the ground and screamed that she wasn't interested in Adam's money. Arlene fell to her knees before Adam and pleaded with him to give her a chance. She vowed that she would never break his heart and treat him as poorly as Liza has. Adam shook his head slightly and asked Arlene not to put herself through so much pain and indignity. Arlene crawled back up to the sofa and grumbled that Adam hasn't changed at all since the first time they met. Back then, she envisioned him wanting to be a part of her life --- and all he did was leave her $20 on her bedside table for cab fare. Adam apologized for the way he'd acted in the past, but told Arlene that there was no way that he could ever love her. Arlene rose to her feet and tried to stop Adam from leaving. Adam picked up the divorce papers from the floor and handed them back to Arlene. Before leaving, he told Arlene that he'd send someone over to pick up his things. Arlene collapsed onto the chair in tears. Vanessa returned and instantly sensed that Arlene was not crying tears of joy. Arlene looked up at Vanessa with tears in her eyes and begged her to call Seaview Hospital. "Something's wrong with the baby," she wept.
Becca took Bianca to the community center to show her what could happen to her if she dropped out of school. Inside the center, Bianca was introduced to several homeless teens. Bianca rolled her eyes and downplayed Becca's attempt at "shock therapy." Becca introduced Bianca to one of the shelter's residents, a young woman by the name of Rain. Bianca greeted the girl, but Rain wasn't exactly overjoyed to meet Bianca. Bianca sat down and asked Rain what had led up to her being homeless. Rain wasn't too forthcoming with the details, saying only that she'd hopped a freight train with some friends from the Western U.S. and ended up in Pine Valley. Becca, meanwhile, tracked down Eliot and asked him if he'd seen Grace. When Becca referred to him as "Reverend Freeman," Eliot angrily snapped that Becca should never call him that again. Becca looked around curiously and politely reminded Eliot that she knew him only as Reverend Freeman. Eliot apologized for yelling at Becca, but warned her that everything she thought about him was wrong. Becca praised Eliot as the best minister she'd ever had. "I'm sorry I misled you," replied Eliot. Becca was confused by a remark Eliot made about how he'd "come back" to Pine Valley. Erica's voice sounded from the main room and Becca and Eliot went to see what was going on. In the main room, Erica blasted her daughter for taking off from her boarding school interview. Bianca order her mother to be quiet, saying that she was embarrassing her. Erica looked around the center and asked Bianca what she was doing in a "place like this." Bianca demanded to know what was wrong with the shelter. "It's run by Brooke English, for one thing," Erica responded. Becca stepped forward and told Erica that she'd brought Bianca to the center. Before Erica could ask Becca why, Bianca again told her mother that she was embarrassing her. Bianca told her mother that she's decided to drop out of school and get a full-time job. She then blasted her mother's assertion that she should be thankful for everything she has. Bianca snapped that she's felt homeless ever since her father died. Jack suddenly burst into the shelter and looked at Eliot with eyes of fire. He informed all those around him that he'd just come from the police station. There, he snarled, Hank Collins was claiming that Eliot was the man who'd killed Brooke's daughter. Eliot nodded his head slightly and admitted that Hank was telling the truth. Without any kind of warning, Jack punched Eliot square on the jaw. Eliot flew backgrounds, landing on his back several feet away. Becca hovered over the minister to see if he was okay. Eliot put up his hand as if to tell Becca that he'd be fine and didn't require her help. Jack demanded to know why Eliot had returned to Pine Valley. Eliot, his lip sporting a large gash, struggled to his feet. He explained that he'd returned to Pine Valley to seek forgiveness from Brooke. Jack was about to slug Eliot again, but Erica and Becca stepped between them. Erica turned and flashed an icy glare at Eliot. "How could you be so heartless," she asked. Eliot explained that he hasn't been able to find any peace since the accident. Jack looked at him with disgust and asked Eliot if he really thought that he deserves any peace. Eliot assured everyone that he didn't want to cause anyone any additional pain; he was there to pack up his belongings and leave. Brooke walked through the door and called out Eliot's name.
Greenlee showed up at Ryan's loft and began rummaging through his desk drawers with the hopes of finding his passport. For some reason, Leo happened by the loft and walked in on Greenlee. When asked what she was doing, Greenlee lamely offered that she was looking for a pen so that she could leave Ryan a note. Leo didn't buy it and asked Greenlee why she was lying to him. It was now clear that trying to get rid of Leo was breaking Greenlee's heart. Whereas her comments at the motel seemed genuinely mean and truthful, now everything she said was unconvincing. Greenlee told Leo that she'd realized that she was still "hung up" on Ryan and that she wanted him back in her life. Leo gently brushed Greenlee's cheek, but Greenlee pulled away. Leo then grabbed her and kissed her on the lips. "You're trembling," he observed. He looked around the room and asked Greenlee what was frightening her. Greenlee ordered Leo to leave, but Leo refused to go anywhere. Suddenly, a gun shot and the sounds of breaking glass echoed through the loft. In the blink of an eye, Greenlee and Leo fell to the ground."
