"After hanging up on Laura Leo looked at his phone then made the decision to turn it off. Meanwhile Laura was lying on the floor of Jake's apartment, barely able to catch her breath.
In Frankie's room at Opal's, Erica asked her if she loves Bianca. Frankie tried to avoid the question, asking Erica if she really wanted to hear the answer. "What if I do love her and will stay in Pine Valley? What if I am the person your daughter will spend the rest of her life with? What would you do if I'm your new reality?" Frankie asked Erica. She replied that she's no longer going to fight Frankie and only because Bianca is in love with her. Frankie told Erica that she's not looking to hurt anyone and Erica hoped that was true. She asked if Frankie would listen to why she's afraid for Bianca. Frankie agreed and Erica told her that she knows all about taking in strays, feeding them, caring for them, but sometimes they bite back. Erica said she realized she has two choices: 1) "I can reject you and lose Bianca or 2) I can welcome you and keep my daughter.." Frankie wondered which one Erica would choose and Erica said she would always choose her daughter. Then Erica told Frankie that she'd help her as long as she felt as strongly about Bianca as Bianca does about her. Erica said the first step would be to stop being advisaries. Erica accepted defeat and asked if Frankie could be a humble winner. Frankie didn't know what to say. Erica said she got the feeling Frankie wasn't used to kindness. Bianca returned to the room and wondered what happened between her mother and her friend. Erica told her they had an honest conversation but Frankie piped in that Erica had eavesdropped and heard their earlier discussion. Bianca flipped out but Erica told her it was an accident. She apologized to her daughter but said she wasn't sorry she heard the truth. Erica said that since she heard that she realized her feelings toward Frankie don't matter and that if Bianca does love Frankie Erica has no choice but to accept her. Bianca wondered what that meant exactly and was told that Erica will welcome Frankie into their lives as best she can. Bianca was thrilled and hugged her mother gratefully. Frankie and Erica exchanged looks over Bianca's shoulder. Erica asked if Bianca needed a ride home but Bianca wanted to stay with Frankie a little longer. Showing unusual graciousness Erica thanked Frankie for listening and said "Let's build on what we've started here tonight." After she left Frankie bounced down on the bed and laughed, saying Erica might be small but she was "one huge woman. What an act!." Bianca told her that wasn't an act but Frankie didn't buy it. Bianca said they should just relax now that her mother's not going to try to keep them apart and changed the subject. Bianca said she didn't want to pressure Frankie but wanted to give her something. She took off the silver pendant her father had given her and told Frankie she wanted her to have it. Frankie refused but Bianca told her that she doesn't need to be reminded that she's loved, but Frankie does and that she needs a reminder that Bianca loves her. Frankie let her place the necklace around her neck but was very flustered, saying she didn't know how to handle Bianca's kindness. Bianca told her to get used to it and kissed Frankie's cheek. She left the room, telling Frankie to sleep well. Frankie looked nervous and confused. After Bianca was long gone, Frankie grabbed the necklace from around her neck and threw it across the room.
Bianca went to the cemetery to visit her grandmother's grave. She knelt in front of the headstone and thanked her grandma for helping Erica accept her. "I prayed for so long for mom to get who I am and now she does!" Erica showed up and told Bianca she wasn't following her. Bianca knew that and gave her mom a big hug. She said it meant so much to her that Erica is trying to accept Frankie. "She's my girlfriend now, I know you don't like the way that sounds.." Bianca told her mother that she had a bad year last year, she'd lost alot of people she loved and that she didn't think she could handle it if she lost Frankie. With that Bianca left her mother alone to visit Mona's grave. Erica sat down and asked her mother what she should do. She began to cry and said she needed her mother's help. "I see so much of myself in Bianca, it's so familiar and painful." She went on to say that she knows Frankie is bad news, she can feel it. Crying, she said she wished she could be half the mother to Bianca that Mona was to her. Erica touched her mother's name on the headstone and asked for help in keeping Bianca safe.
At the hospital Greenlee asked her father where he went after she left to get help but he didn't remember anything. Jake tried to reassure her, saying that sometimes happened with heart episodes. Jake ordered some tests just as David walked in. He announced that Roger was his patient and that he'd be the one ordering tests. Jake ordered David out of the room but Roger wanted him to stay. David told Roger he knows about the pre-existing heart condition and can help him. David told Greenlee to leave the room while he examined her father. Jake and Greenlee went to the lobby where a worried Leo asked how Roger was. Greenlee explained that Roger couldn't remember anything and Leo wrapped his arms around her in comfort while Jake looked on. Inside the exam room David told Roger he was a very stupid man and had made his last mistake. Outside the room Leo asked Greenlee about Roger's condition and Jake jumped in. He accused Leo of believing that Greenlee was making this up and confirmed that Roger did indeed suffer some sort of attack. Greenlee thanked Jake for making sure Leo knew she was telling the truth. She also thanked him for finding her father and Jake told her that he takes care of his friends. Greenlee told Jake that he was the most selfless man she'd ever known, that he was a hero to alot of people, most of all to her.
In the living room of Brooke's house she shared a kiss with Edmund, who said he was glad she remembered how to kiss him. Brooke told him the house was quiet, Jamie was gone, his kids were at home with Peggy and Laura didn't want her help tonight. Edmund put his arms around her and they headed upstairs. The phone began to ring and Brooke said "Answering machines are wonderful things!." But Edmund insisted that she answer it. She picked it up but didn't hear anyone on the other end. Brooke threatened to hang up and finally Laura managed to speak. She told her mother she was ill and at Jake's apartment. Brooke and Edmund raced out the door. They got to Jake's and found Laura passed out on the floor. Edmund called for an ambulance while Brooke tried to find a pulse. She panicked and couldn't find one but Edmund told her Laura was breathing. Laura came to and said her chest was tight and her heart was going wild. Then she told her mother that she had called Leo but he had hung up on her. Edmund picked Laura up and said they weren't waiting for the ambulance. They took her to the ER at the hospital where Jake rushed to her side. He moved her into an exam room while Edmund and Brooke waited outside. Leo ran over and asked what happened. Brooke screamed at him "You did you bastard!!." Leo was stunned and said whatever happened was not his fault. Brooke asked if Laura had called him and had he hung up on her. Leo said yes but he thought she was faking it again. Brooke said maybe he was trying to kill Laura off now that he wanted out of the marriage. Leo denied this but Brooke went on to say that Leo was a curse and that if anything happened to her daughter "I'll hold it against you till you breathe your last miserable breath!." Edmund grabbed Brooke and told her to calm down. Leo walked back over to Greenlee and told her he didn't make Laura collapse. "I thought she was lying again! I have to end this once and for all" he said and started over towards Brooke again. Edmund told Brooke that she couldn't blame Leo for this, he didn't do anything wrong. "Laura was the one who lied, she went looking for Leo and Greenlee instead of going home like she told us" Edmund told Brooke. Brooke asked what she should do for Laura and Edmund replied that she should be there for Laura and be honest to herself about who Laura is and find out how she got that way. Edmund said Laura's problems go way deeper than her heart transplant. Brooke walked over to the exam room door and looked through the windows at Laura. Leo joined her and handed her a check. He told her he was paying her back for everything she'd given him to "help make Laura happy." Laura opened her eyes and heard the discussion between her mother and her husband. Leo went on to say he wanted to keep Laura's spirits up, he wanted her well. "I gave up my life to get her well but it made her worse, more needy and dependent!." He said he did the best he could but now he needed his life back and that it was over for good. Laura listened intently with a very evil glint in her eyes."
