"Hayley and Mateo arrived home from their trip and were surprised by Adam, Liza, JR and Mateo's mom, who came bearing gifts for the baby. Mateo's mom knitted a sweater and Liza and Adam presented Hayley with a baby blanket. JR apologized for not bringing anything for the baby and Hayley told him that the only thing she wanted from his was a promise, a promise to teach his little niece or nephew how to kick a soccer ball. Mateo's mom prepared a bunch of food, so Mateo, Liza and Adam went to the kitchen to set everything up. This left JR alone with Hayley. Hayley asked JR how he was doing with everything that was going on. He said he was fine and she told him that any time he needed someone to talk to, he could confide in her. The guests returned with food and Adam told JR how happy his mother would be that he returned early from his fishing trip. JR explained that he did not come home to see his mom, his band had a lot of work to do and he had to leave. He would be home around midnight. Adam then turned to Mateo and said that he wanted to talk to Mateo about him becoming a father and how Mateo should think about going to work for Adam; he needed a job that could provide for a family and a college education for his child. Mateo assured Adam that he could take care of his family. Adam then imagined what life would be like with Mateo as a father. Adam walked in the living room and Mateo and his son were playing catch. 'Son' joked about dropping out of school and playing for the big leagues. Adam jumped in and asked his grandchild about his future, he couldn't be a ball player. Mateo told Adam that 'son' could work with him at the bar for a while. Adam suggested to his grandchild that he take him down to Wall Street to see the stock exchange. He would teach him how to invest. Much to Adam's chagrin, the child replied "I just wanna play ball."
Adam pleaded with Mateo once again to get another job; if he didn't want to work for Adam, then perhaps he could work for Liza at Chandler Enterprises. Mateo told Adam that he was very happy owning a bar. Adam questioned what kind of role model Mateo would be since he was simply a "glorified bartender." Mateo's voice became loud and he asked what kind of role model Adam was since he had just recently gotten out of jail. Hayley overheard their conversation and walked up just as Mateo went to get some air. Mateo then imagined what life would be like for his child if Adam were to take over. Adam and Mateo's son were both wearing suits, carrying briefcases and reading the newspaper. They were discussing stock numbers as Mateo walked up to them and asked his son if 'grandpa' was helping him with his math. The child explained that they were diversifying their stock portfolio. Mateo then asked if he was ready to go to the ball game and the son replied that he couldn't go to the game, that 'grandpa' was going to explain merging markets. "But you love baseball, you wanted to play when you grew up," Mateo said. "Father, I said I wanted to own them, not play for them." The 'welcome home' party ended and Hayley and Mateo were left alone. Mateo held Hayley and felt the baby kick for the first time. He was overwhelmed with excitement.
At the hospital, Dimitri and Alex discussed Gabriel. Alex told Dimitri that Gabriel was in no condition to run. Dimitri suggested that it was Gabriel that set the fire but Alex convinced him that it was not. Dimitri understood that Alex had some sort of connection with Gabriel but said that she was in no condition to take on any strays right now, especially ones who threaten people with knives. Alex told Dimitri that Gabriel was terrified, Greenlee had cornered him on the yacht and he had no choice but to jump off the boat. Alex reminded Dimitri that Gabriel had a serious wound to his leg. Dimitri realized that Alex was determined to find Gabriel. They went to speak to staff members to find out if anyone knew where he went.
Outside the E.R. Tad and Dixie were making sure Joe was okay. He said that he had no idea how he got out there and Dixie explained that it was David. They questioned whether or not Joe knew what happened and Tad wondered aloud if David had anything to do with it. In the E.R., Jake and David were working on an unconscious Laura. A police officer walked in the room and asked Jake if he wanted him to take David. Jake said no, he needed David's help. Brooke was repeatedly asking Jake what was wrong with Laura and Jake explained that she was in respiratory failure. Bianca was standing outside of Laura's room hoping outloud that she would be okay. Erica walked in hugged her daughter and asked if she was alright. Bianca told Erica that she was okay, that it was Laura who was in trouble. Bianca explained that Laura had taken some Ecstasy and had collapsed so Bianca brought her in.
In Laura's room, Brooke asked Jake again what was wrong; were Laura's medical problems caused by the drugs or something else. Jake tried to reassure Brooke by telling her he would find out what was wrong. David added that it could have been the drug but that he would have to run some tests. Jake reminded him that he was no longer on staff and was not authorized to make a diagnosis. David said that he didn't care who ran the tests, just as long as they were done. Jake told the waiting police officer that David was ready to leave. David told Jake that he had better be prepared for the mistake he was about to make by sending David away. David left with the officer. Brooke asked Jake why he was dismissing David's suggestions and Jake explained that David had an agenda; he was only looking out for himself and didn't care about any of the patients. Jake exited and left Brooke to sit with Laura. Brooke took Laura's hand and told her she loved her. An Orderly then walked into the room to take a chest x-ray and asked Brooke to leave. Brooke exited hesitantly. Erica walked over to Brooke and asked how Laura was. Brooke explained that David had suggested some tests and Erica told her that whatever David said, Brooke should go along with. Brooke then told her that Jake had said David was making the whole thing up just so that he could avoid jail. He had a way of manipulating people. Erica reminded her that David saved the lives of Erica, Dimitri and Dixie. She added that whatever problems David had, he also had a gift, he could see things that other people couldn't. Brooke walked over to David, who had been sitting in the waiting room and asked him to help Laura. David questioned Brooke about Laura's medical history and Brooke explained that she didn't know much. Laura's biological mother had died and her father ran away, she said. David told her that any family history could be very valuable. He said that he could not make any definite diagnosis until more tests were performed and explained that he could not do them because he was on his way to jail. Brooke grabbed him and proceeded to drag him to Laura's room when the officer guarding him interrupted and said that he was a prisoner and couldn't go anywhere. Brooke told the officer that he could guard David while he treated Laura. They walked into Laura's room and David told the attending physician that he wanted tests run. The doctor replied by telling him she would have to consult with Jake. Brooke stepped in and told the doctor that she didn't care what the protocol was around the hospital; her daughter needed help and David would be the one to help her.
Outside, Jake and Joe were looking around and Jake said that he believed David was reponsible for what had happened; he had tried to stay out of jail by breaking his hand, faking a heart problem and he stole a cops gun and handcuffed the cop to a pole. Dixie and Tad overhead and Tad asked Jake if it was true; had David tried to escape. Jake said that he thought it was David who had opened the canisters and set the fire to escape. Dixie said if that was true, then why was David still around helping people. Joe then said that it wasn't David, it was Leslie Coulson. He remembered that Leslie was standing by the canisters and when he tried to stop her she shot at him with the flare gun they had removed from Gabriel when he first came to the hospital. "That means that Leslie Coulson is out there," Tad said.
Back in Laura's room, David was looking at the heart monitor while Jake looked over his shoulder. Jake suggested to Brooke that she get some fresh air so she wouldn't wear herself out. She left the room and Erica came to her to comfort her. Brooke told Erica that she was right; Brooke should have seen the signs that Laura was using drugs. She confided to Erica of how helpless she felt. Erica understood, as she went through the same thing when Bianca was sick. David and Jake followed Brooke out of the room and Jake apologized to David for believing that it was he who opened the canisters. David asked Jake what changed his mind when Tad and Dixie walked up. Dixie told David that Leslie had done the deed and got away in the process. Tad was concerned that Leslie was running around somewhere so he suggested that he take Dixie home. They left together.
Joe returned inside and ran into Alex and Dimitri. He explains that unfortunately Alex's patient gave them the slip. Alex replied that she already knew he ran and asked Joe to call her if he ever returned. Joe agreed and had to run off because he was paged. Alex was very concerned for Gabriel. She had many questions; why had he stowed away on the boat, how did he get wounded. Dimitri suggested that she just let it go but she told him she couldn't. She said that Gabriel looked at her in a certain way, as if he recognized her but she did not recognize him. "Oh my God," Dimitri gasped. "What if he thought you were Anna?" Jake and David, who had gone back into Laura's room to examine her, came out to talk to Brooke. David advised Brooke they could not give her a diagnosis yet until more tests were run and then Jake stepped in and said that he would order a complete cardiac workout. A nurse then came out of the room and told Brooke that Laura had regained consciousness. Brooke ran in to see Laura and told her everything would be fine. Laura, wanting to speak, tried to remove the breathing tube so Brooke handed her some paper and a pen. Laura wrote, "Sorry mom." Brooke smiled and told Laura that the only thing she cared about right now was that Laura was awake. Jake told David that he would have another doctor take over Laura's case, just then the officer walked up to David to take him away to jail. "Aren't you gonna say Bon Voyage?" David asked Jake. Jake replied by saying that David was right in ordering additional tests for Laura.
At the stables, Gabriel was confronted by a snarling guard dog. He raised his arm and in a circular motion mesmerizing the dog. The dog laid down. A security guard began calling the dogs name and came into the stables to find him. Gabriel hid and the security guard with dog in tow, left. Gabriel came out from his hiding place turned on a light and proceeded to look for food. Just as he found food, he heard someone come in. He hid once again, and Edmund walked in followed by Anna. Anna asked Edmund what he was doing at the stables and he explained that he had seen a light on and wondered who was in the stables. They chat and Anna, who was swinging a riding crop, asked Edmund how he knew immediately that she was not Alex. A confused Gabriel, listened in. Edmund said jokingly "actually you're holding that crop backwards." Anna replied with a smile, "ah yes, well Alex is the equestrian, my experience with horses is limited to merry-go-rounds." Anna asked Edmund about his feelings for Alex and he explained that she was his concern right now. She was still swinging the riding crop and he grabbed it and they stood there for a moment staring into each other's eyes. Edmund tried to change the subject and began talking about riding. He told Anna that Alex had bought a horse and named it Scorpio. Anna was surprised by this and Edmund then asked Anna if she had any more memories. She said 'no.' He then suggested that perhaps Alex was a key to Anna's past. He explained that when he and Dimitri were in England looking for Alex, they found a trunk that contained things from her childhood and it would be a good idea for Anna to have a look at everything. She agreed and they left to look at the horses. Gabriel, who was still hiding, had a memory of a voice saying to him, "Get Anna Devane, your life depends on it."
Tad and Dixie arrived at her house and Dixie told Tad that he didn't have to stick around. He told her he would and Dixie went to get blankets for the couch. They turned their backs to one another, but each took furtive glances at the other and frowned when they realized how unhappy they've come to be."
