Arlene just looked at Vanessa and said that she was carrying a life inside her and she had Adam. Arlene said that Adam loved her and this was proof of it. The baby was going to make him stay with her and he was going to forget about Liza. Arlene said that now Liza would get everything, Adam, the house, everything....

She told Liza that she wanted to talk to her about the divorce from Adam. Liza told her that she would be right over to see her. She then called Hayley and wanted her there as the impartial witness. She told Hayley that she was reconsidering the offer of letting Mateo and her adopt her baby. Arlene told Hayley that she wanted this baby to have the best that could be offered and that she and Mateo would be the best. Hayley said that she was on her way over.

She wanted Adam to function as father in every way, the baby was to be invited to all the functions including birthdays, holidays and other activities. Liza would not agree because it would mean that Arlene would also come along. Arlene told Liza that she would not divorce him and then it would mean that Liza could not marry him.

She handed Ryan's passport to Wade and then he asked her where the money was. She told him that she was not an ATM machine and could not withdraw $1,000,000 in twenty dollar bills. Just then, Leo started pounding on the door of her room and telling her that he knew she was in there and he wanted to know what was going on and he wasn't leaving until he found out. Wade held a gun to her and said she was in big trouble. Leo broke the door open but there was nobody in the room.
