"In her hospital room, Laura assured Leo that she wanted him to be happy. When he told her that Greenlee was going to be the one to do this, she told him to not let her get away. Greenlee stood peering in from the hallway and was about to barge in when Bianca stopped her. She told Greenlee that Laura was sick and didn't need to be bothered but Greenlee assured her that Leo had called her for moral support and walked in anyway. She put her arm around Leo and asked if Laura had heard "the news." Leo replied that Laura knew they were getting married and Greenlee became concerned as she told Laura that there was something she had to tell her. She explained that the three of them all cared for Leo and suggested that they become friends in order to make him happier. Bianca was astounded at the request but Laura replied that Greenlee was right because everyone made mistakes. Brooke walked in as Laura advised Leo and Greenlee to not take each other for granted and to be happy. Greenlee thanked her and told her that they were going to leave. "But we'll be back, girlfriend!" Greenlee assured her, as the pair left. Bianca told Laura that she would be back as well and followed Greenlee and Leo out. Brooke sat down on the bed as Laura told her that Leo was in love and was marrying Greenlee. She held back tears as she realized that she "never had a chance with Leo" and wondered what was "wrong" with her. Outside, Greenlee looked at the clock and told Leo and Bianca that she was going to be late visiting her grandmother, who was throwing "a giant party" for her and Leo's engagement and rushed off. Alone, Bianca gripped Leo's arm and led him away as she demanded to know what was going on.

In her room, Brooke and Laura embraced. Laura pulled away and wondered how she could let herself believe that Leo could love her. She told Brooke that seeing him with Greenlee was painful and that she wished someone could "kill (her) now." Brooke replied that she shouldn't give up and reasoned that it was no one's fault. She encouraged Laura by telling her that her pain would diminish with time and promised that she would find a man one day who would love her. She smiled encouragingly at Laura and told her that her heart would heal, but as soon as the two embraced a tear slightly trickled down Brooke's face. Brooke repeated that she would feel better over time and Laura replied that she knew it would take a while. She apologized for taking drugs to try to make herself feel better, but Brooke told her that she had nothing to feel sorry about. Laura stated that she felt like "road kill" and Brooke suggested that she get some sleep. They were interrupted by Dr. Bryant, who wanted to ask Laura some questions. He sat down on a chair and asked Laura if had been sleeping more lately and if she was frequently short-winded. Laura answered yes to both questions and the doctor gave her a solemn look, as she wondered what type of virus she had. She became scared and demanded to know what was going on. Dr. Bryant explained that they were getting more test results back and that he would talk to her later. Brooke followed Dr. Bryant into the hallway and apologized for taking the clipboard from him earlier. She confided that she was scared and that she knew Laura had a virus that was affecting her heart. The doctor replied that it was more serious than they had thought. She demanded that they cure her virus, but he told her it wasn't that easy.

Bianca and Leo arrived at BJ's and she demanded to know why he was marrying Greenlee. She reasoned that he was a guy and that Greenlee was attractive, but Leo told her it was more than that. Bianca countered that they were going to have a long engagement because he wasn't sure that he was doing the right thing, but Leo replied that they were getting married "as soon as possible." He explained to Bianca that Roger was blackmailing him by threatening to expose a dark secret from his past. Bianca tried to convince him that rushing into marriage wasn't the answer to his problem, but Leo assured her that showing Greenlee that he loved her would solve everything. Bianca asked Leo how he was going to "take care" of Roger and Leo told her that he and Greenlee had a secret plan. He explained that they were writing a pre-nuptial where Leo wouldn't be able to get his hands on her money. In that way, if Roger told Greenlee what he knew about him, she wouldn't believe he was like that anymore. Bianca replied that it sounded risky, but Leo told her that Roger couldn't know and that they had to move fast in order for it to work. Confused, Bianca asked what he had done in his past to make Roger blackmail him but Leo replied that some things were better left unsaid. She continued to press him and asked him to tell her.

Outside Greenlee's loft, her grandmother began to write a nasty note outlining her "inconsideration" for being late. Suddenly, Greenlee ran up, apologized and explained that she was visiting a sick friend in the hospital. "How very unlike you," her grandmother commented, and Greenlee suggested that maybe she was changing. She led her grandmother inside and clarified her living conditions with Jake. She emphasized that she and Leo weren't going to be living there and thanked her grandmother for throwing the engagement party for her. She picked up a wedding magazine as she happily told her grandmother that she had found a modern version of the dress she wore when she married her grandfather. Her grandmother interrupted her and told her that she would not be getting an extravagant engagement party because she was not going to marry Leo. She told a stunned Greenlee that Leo was a "fortune hunter, just like (her) father." Roger came to Greenlee's door and listened as her grandmother told Greenlee that she was defending Leo just as her mother defended her father. Exasperated, Greenlee stated that Leo was nothing like her father and told her she could prove it. Her grandmother replied that she knew Leo was a "cad" and that he was only after her money. Roger listened on as Greenlee interrupted her and informed her of their pre-nuptuial agreement.

On the yacht, Ryan screamed out for Gillian and became nervous when he couldn't find her. Suddenly, she walked down the stairs with a pretty dress on and a look of confusion on her face. She asked why he wasn't dressed but Ryan only returned her question with a puzzled look. "Oh no!" he cried, as it suddenly dawned on him and he ran upstairs to change. He returned moments later dressed in a suit and apologized for forgetting that they had a client, Ms. Pringle, visiting the yacht that day. He and Gillian theorized why Ms. Pringle hadn't requested a band or caterers and reasoned that she was a rich woman who was carrying on a wild affair with a secret lover. They hoped that she would be impressed with them and would tell "all of her rich friends" to rent the yacht, so they could eventually buy it back and stop working for Adam. They embraced just as Ilene Pringle walked in. She exclaimed that everything was perfect and that she was "scouting" everything out. She introduced herself to Ryan and Gillian and asked them if they were ready for an adventure.

After a quick tour, Ilene explained to Ryan and Gillian that she wanted to shoot a reality TV show on the yacht and that she wanted to shoot the pilot that night. Gillian was a bit dubious, but Ryan seemed intrigued. Ilene left to view the state rooms and once alone, Ryan told Gillian that if the pilot succeeded, they would no longer have to work for Adam. Gillian reminded him that they weren't even supposed to have clients on the yacht and wondered what Adam would do once he saw the show. Ilene returned and asked the pair if they had made up their minds. Ryan shook hands with her and told her she had a deal. Gillian named the show "Dream Boat" and left to get some champagne. Once she was gone, Ilene told Ryan that she had a proposition for him.

Ryan laughed and told Ilene he didn't think he and Gillian would be good characters on the TV show. Ilene explained that they were young and good-looking, but Ryan replied that they were newlyweds and were in love. Ilene gave up as Gillian walked in with three champagne glasses. She confided that she couldn't believe everything was happening so fast, but Ryan reasoned that life was full of surprises. Gillian wondered if there were any more she should know about, but Ryan assured her that there wasn't. Ilene decided that she wanted to shoot some preliminary footage and left to get her equipment from the deck. Adam entered from another door and angrily demanded to know why a TV truck was parked in his spot and why they were taking the yacht out without his consent.

Edmund led Anna into the hunting lodge to investigate a trunk full of items that may have been from her past. He reminded a dubious Anna of "primal memory", which was the ability to remember things before you can think or speak. Anna decided to play along and began to take items out of the trunk. She wasn't able to identify a map, cricket bat or an oar, but froze when she pulled out a wooden recorder. From the outside of the cabin, the mysterious stowaway peered in and watched their every move. Edmund asked Anna if the recorder meant anything to her, but Anna replied that she was only surprised that Alex could have played such an instrument because she hadn't mentioned it to her before. Edmund told her that these items may have belonged to her father and pulled out a list of words from a book. He explained to Anna that Alex and her father used to play a game where they would try to stump each other on difficult words. Anna noticed that Edmund became sentimental as he talked about Alex and suggested that they investigate the trunk another day. Outside, the stowaway heard a noise and ran away. Edmund and Anna were interrupted by Alex, who stepped inside to join them. She told the pair that she hoped the items in the trunk were helping Anna regain some of her memory and laughed as Edmund passed her a large medical book. Alex explained to Anna that she had wanted to be a veterinarian before becoming a doctor and described the way she helped "small, helpless" animals in her youth. Anna became angry and asked if she was only trying to help her "small, helpless sister with her injured brain" and slammed down the lid of the trunk. Alex assured Anna that something in the trunk would trigger a memory, but Anna was dubious. Edmund reminded her of the recorder and Alex stated that it didn't belong to her. They began to talk about it, as the stowaway returned to the window. He peered in as Anna took the recorder from Edmund and began playing a song. She was interrupted by the sounds of a dog from outside, who was barking at the stowaway. He looked at the dog and made motions with his hands until it became calm and he walked away with it. Inside the hunting lodge, Alex, Edmund and Anna were amazed at what had just occurred. Anna told the pair that she couldn't remember learning to play the recorder but that the song was familiar to her. Alex encouraged her to continue browsing through the trunk and left. Alone, Edmund assured Anna that she would get her memory back. She picked up the recorder to play again, but all that came out was high-pitched squeaks. She placed the recorder on top of the trunk and decided that she had done enough for the day. Anna and Edmund left the lodge and made their way to the turret. Once they had left, the stowaway entered and picked up the recorder. Outside, the once-vicious Rottweiler lay asleep under the bushes. He held the recorder over his knee, broke it in half and let it fall to the ground. He kneeled to pick it up as Maddie opened the door to the cabin and asked him who he was."
