"Greenlee and Jake were jogging on the beach, and Greenlee was bugging Jake telling him that he should be wearing a stronger SPF, "SPF15, because you do have crows feet around your eyes," she said laughing. Jake told her that she could only continue jogging with him if she stopped yapping. They stopped running and Greenlee started chatting about her first day on the job and her plans for Enchantment when Jake reminded her about the contract she signed with Erica. Greenlee responded by telling Jake that she was going to "grind Erica into powder, and you are going to help me," and she ran off with Jake following behind. He caught up to her and told her that he couldn't help her, that "cosmetic espionage was not part of his realm of expertise." She knew that and explained that she just needed someone to bounce ideas off of. She explained that she was the creative type and he was down-to-earth and practical, he balanced her. She added that he could keep her from spinning out of control. He told her that Erica was a major operator who left alot of carnage in her wake and he didn't want to see Greenlee become part of the body count. Greenlee brushed off his words and told him that she was going to make Erica realize how important she would be to Enchantment. Jake told her that he could not be a part of her plan and ran off.
At Enchantment, Erica was sniffing a fragrance and told her assistant that there was nothing like the smell of a best seller. The assistant picked up the empty bottle of champagne Greenlee left behind and replied that it looked like someone had already been celebrating. Erica handed the assistant some files and asked him to pass them along to other staff for feedback. He grabbed the files and headed out, crossing paths with Jack. Jack came in asking Erica why she had called him. He wondered if it had anything to do with Greenlee's contract. "No," Erica replied, as she handed him a brochure for France. She explained that she wanted to take Bianca to Paris to show her all the places Erica loved and wanted to know if Jack would accompany them. Erica was shocked when Jack informed her that Bianca would hate her for what she was doing. He explained that she knew Bianca and Laura were planning this trip together and he wondered if the only reason she was planning the trip was to keep Laura away from Bianca. Erica was offended by what he implied and told him that she would expect Brooke to say something like that, but not him. She went on to tell him how she had given Brooke some information on cardiologists in Europe that could help Laura and Brooke practically threw them back in her face. Jack was shocked and said that he couldn't believe that she was so determined to keep the girls away from each other that she would suggest sending a sick child half way around the world. Erica defended herself by telling him that she was only trying to help Laura. She added that Laura was very sick and might not recover. Jack was unaware of how sick Laura really was so Erica filled him in on the transplant situation. Jack apologized for what he had said and told her that he was going to go see Brooke. Erica told him that it was not a good idea as Laura had no idea how serious her condition was. Bianca was also unaware of what was going on. Jack didn't understand how Brooke and Erica could keep this information from their daughters. Erica explained why Brooke didn't want Laura to know and she hadn't told Bianca because of everything she had already been through in the past year. Jack informed Erica that Bianca was very strong and needed to know about Laura. Just then, Erica's assistant returned and told her that they had a crisis that she needed to attend to immediately.
Erica called a meeting to discuss the crisis. An employee had jumped ship to another cosmetic company with Enchantment's newest fragrance. They had to launch the fragrance first before the other company had time to copy it. She handed out assignments to each employee as they discussed what they would do. An eager Greenlee ran into the office announcing to everyone, "I'm here." A note was given to Greenlee, she took one look at it and handed it to another employee and said, "this must be yours." Erica asked Greenlee if there was a problem. Greenlee gave Erica the note and said that there had been a mistake. "Ah yes, " Erica replied, "forget the latte," and she walked away leaving Greenlee with her mouth hanging open.
At Brooke's house, Leo asked Brooke if Laura was still sleeping. He hoped that he hadn't tired her out too much. Brooke replied that Laura was still sound asleep, she then asked Leo if he had thought at all about what she had asked him earlier. He told her not to push it, originally Brooke didn't want him spending 3 hours with her daughter and now she wanted him to love her. She told him that she had been wrong about him. Leo interrupted and told her that she was right about him, he was a con man and the last person Laura needed. He asked Brooke why she had chosen him to be the one to fall in love with Laura. Brooke explained that it was Laura who chose him. She added that medicine could keep her body alive, but Laura needed something else, something or someone that would give her the will to live. Brooke had seen Leo and Laura together and noticed how tender he had been when he brought her home from the dance and carried her upstairs to bed. She knew Laura was happy and didn't want her to lose that feeling. Leo stepped in again and told her that he was not the right person for the job, but Brooke pleaded with him to help Laura. He replied that he didn't love Laura and couldn't lie to her, but Brooke told him that it would only be for a few weeks, until they found a donor. The door bell rang, it was Bianca, bringing Laura her homework. She was surprised to see Leo in the house and asked him what he was doing there. Leo was trying to come up with a reason to explain his presence and Brooke stepped in and told Bianca that he came by because he had left his wallet behind the night before. He needed his wallet because he was supposed to be going to BJs for breakfast, she added. Leo understood and left for BJs. Bianca showed Brooke some brochures she had on Europe and Brooke asked her if she and Laura were still planning their trip. Bianca told her that they were and as she went on about the trip, Brooke interrupted her and told her that they would have to talk about Laura and how she might not be able to go on the trip. An alarmed Bianca asked Brooke why Laura would not be able to travel. Bianca assumed that Laura was okay since the doctors had sent her home. Just then Laura came downstairs and told Bianca how perfect her evening with Leo was, as Brooke looked on, very worried. Brooke left the room to get refreshments and Bianca and Laura went through the info on Europe. Laura talked about the touring they would do and the things they would see and she asked Bianca if she thought Leo would consider going. It would be so romantic if he could join her. As Brooke re-entered the room, Laura went on about the evening her and Leo had spent together and how he decorated the whole house and how she was so much in love. He was her prince. Bianca chimed in and said that he was more like a troll when she saw him that morning. Laura questioned why Leo was still around in the morning and Brooke gave her the fake story that he had forgotten his wallet. Laura couldn't wait to see him again and wondered if she should phone him. Brooke interrupted and said that she had to do something, and left. Bianca told Laura that she too had to leave because she had classes, but Laura begged her to stay and listen to all the details of her evening with Laura. She suggested that they go to the beach and catch some rays.
At B.J.s, Leo was waiting for Brooke to arrive. He glanced at his watch, thought she wasn't going to show up and proceeded to leave when Brooke walked in. She apologized for being late and told him that she had left Laura and Bianca at the house where Laura was telling Bianca how wonderful her evening had been. She wanted Laura to have more evenings like that and pleaded with Leo again to give Laura the life that she deserved. Leo sat Brooke down and tried to explain how he felt. He wanted Laura to live as much as Brooke did, but he didn't think that he could make Laura believe that he truly loved her. Brooke reminded him that Katerina had believed that he loved her. Leo was surprised that Brooke would bring up his past with Katerina. He told Brooke that she must be crazy to think that her plan would work. She told him that she would wrestle God himself if it would save Laura. Leo expressed again that he couldn't do it, just as Greenlee walked in. Brooke glanced at Greenlee, looked back at Leo and said that he had also made Greenlee love him. He explained that what he and Greenlee had was real and that he still loved her. A desperate Brooke tried again to convince Leo to help by offering him money.
Jake and Tad walked in to BJ's and Jake was complaining to Tad about the mess in his apartment because of Greenlee. He went on and on about the bathroom being a mess, she didn't make the bed, there were cookie crumbs all over the place. Tad kept trying to interrupt him as he had seen Greenlee standing over at the counter. Greenlee walked over to them carrying a large box containing coffee for Erica's staff. Jake asked her if she needed any help and joked that she would have to put her big corporate takeover off until after coffee break. Greenlee walked out in a snit. Tad asked Jake what was going on and Jake explained Greenlee's desire to take over Enchantment. He then tried to change the subject and asked Tad what they had been talking about before they ran into Greenlee. Tad reminded Jake that he had been talking about Greenlee for the last hour and wanted to know what was going on between them.
Leo was surprised by Brooke's offer but told her he didn't want her money. "Why?" she asked, "You faked it before for money, why not this time?" She realized she had offended Leo and apologized. Leo then asked Brooke to think about what would happen if he went along with the charade. If Laura got a new heart and was fine, how was he going to break her new heart and tell her that he didn't really love her. Brooke's voice became loud and she told Leo over and over again that she didn't care about what would happen later on, all she cared about was what was going to happen now. Leo told her he couldn't help and got up to leave. Brooke jumped up and with tears in her eyes, begged Leo again to help. He said he was sorry, and walked out. As he left, Shannon, with a cigarette hanging out of her mouth, and her obnoxious friends strutted in. An hysterical Brooke went up to Shannon and grabbed the cigarette out of her mouth and butted it out. She said to Shannon, "Don't you get it? These things can kill you." Shannon told her she was 'wigging out' for no reason and lit another smoke as her friends stood there and giggled. Brooke broke down and told the kids that they should have more respect for themselves... life was too precious. Tad, who overheard what she said, walked over to her to comfort her. Jake, who was still sitting at the bar, received a phone call from the hospital. There had been a motorcycle accident and the person injured was not wearing a helmet. Jake asked how serious the injuries were and when he received a response, he asked if the person was an organ donor.
Back at Enchantment, Erica was thanking her staff for all the hard work they were about to do to get the new perfume launched. As Greenlee stood outside eavesdropping, Erica went on to tell the employees that she needed to find a replacement for the person who had defected as soon as possible. Erica left the room but missed Greenlee as she was hiding around the corner. With Erica safely out of the room, Greenlee entered and introduced herself as Enchantment's 'savior'. She was busy singing her praises telling them she was an executive when Erica walked back into the room. Erica explained to her staff that Greenlee was not an executive -- she was a gopher. She was in charge of coffee, lunch and making photocopies, she said, as an embarrassed Greenlee looked on. Greenlee handed out the coffee to which the employees all complained that they had the wrong orders. Erica then told Greenlee that in future, she should arrive before the meetings were to start, WITH hot coffee. She handed a bunch files to Greenlee along with a dry-cleaning ticket, asked her to copy the files and pick up her dry-cleaning. Greenlee was speechless. She took the files and marched out of the room.
Laura and Bianca arrived at the beach. Laura looked around and asked Bianca if the scenery was always this beautiful or was it just because she was in love. Bianca suggested that she not overdo it, but Laura said that she wanted to do everything that she could; she didn't want to miss a thing. She gazed out at the water thinking about her illness. Bianca told her that they would have lots of time to do everything that she wanted to do. Laura wanted to go for a swim so she ran into the water and Bianca followed. They came out of the water and sat on the beach shivering from the cold. Laura was going on about how exhilarated she was and how happy she was. Bianca stared at her and asked her if she was on something. Laura replied that she was high on Leo and life. Bianca suggested that they leave because Laura's lips were turning blue but Laura told her that she wanted to go in the water again. Bianca reminded her that they had all summer to go swimming. Laura was looking out at the water, not saying anything. Bianca called her name with no response and then tried again. When Laura didn't say anything, Bianca asked her what was wrong. Laura turned to Bianca and told her that she didn't know if she had all summer."
