"The court is abuzz at Jackson's announcement of Kendall Hart being called as his next witness. Chris stands up to object, saying he needs time to prepare. After Jack and the judge point out that Stamp is no longer Erica's attorney, Erica explains she has rehired him. The judge grants a five-minute recess. Chris asks Erica what Kendall will have to say, and angrily asks why Erica has never even mentioned her daughter Kendall. Erica says they have no relationship, and she believes Kendall is here only to smear her. Chris tells her that Jackson already has enough of a case against her without character assassination. Erica admits she made a mistake in testifying herself, but adds that she had to tell Bianca how she feels about her.
Chris presses Erica for information about Kendall, but Erica is evasive.
Meanwhile, in the steam room, Anna sneaks up on a surprised Ryan and demands that they talk about his father. "I'm trying to build a case against Chris Stamp," she tells him. But Ryan isn't interested in cooperating. Anna presses on, saying, "He killed your father! You're not going to let him get away with it, are you?" "I don't care," Ryan angrily responds. He doesn't want to know any more details of his father's death, nor what made him tick. "So go out and harass someone else, it's none of your business," he tells Anna. "He might be part of this drug cartel," she insists. "He might be using you." "I DON'T CARE," Ryan retorts angrily. She tries to push more, but finally gives up and leaves.
His phone rings, and it's Liza, asking him to stop by Chandler Mansion. "I'll be right there," he says.
As the court reconvenes, Greenlee comes into the courtroom and begs Leo to come and help her. Reluctantly, he follows her out into the hallway, trying to explain to her that he needs to stay for Bianca. But Greenlee mutters urgently, "It's your wife! It's Laura!" Leo is willing to listen, and Greenlee insists that he come with her to Enchantment because she's in big trouble.
Once at Erica's somewhat disordered office, Greenlee tells Leo that Laura is planning to spill their story to the tabloids. When Leo laughingly suggests that there's no such thing as bad publicity, Greenlee replies that there is a limit. "The CEO is on trial for murder, and her stand-in is the other woman!"
Greenlee says she is trying to run a multi-million dollar corporation and Leo says he thinks that's great and that she's doing a great job. But that could all crumble if Laura publicizes their story, Greenlee says. Leo reassures her that he will talk to Laura. "And don't keep calling her my wife!" "Well, unless you got a divorce in the Dominican Republic that I don't know about, she still is," Greenlee replied. But Leo's mind has passed on to other things ... "I'd rather talk to you right now," he says with a mischievous grin as he locks the office door. Greenlee protests when she realizes where he's headed, but Leo wins her over and with a passionate kiss they settle down on the sofa.
Back in the courtroom during the recess, the judge calls Jackson and Chris to his chambers. Opal and Myrtle try to advise Erica to stay away from Kendall, but Erica makes for the door to see Kendall in the hallway. When the guard stops her, she haughtily tells him, "I'M Erica Kane! And I want to see my daughter!" The intimidated guard steps aside.
The hallway is filled with reporters, who all gradually step back to allow Erica to see Kendall face-to-face. Kendall greets her with, "Hello, Erica!" But her mother marches up to her and gives her a head-spinning slap, to the shock of everyone around. "What are you planning to say about me on the stand?" Erica demands. Chris comes and takes Erica by the arm. "The judge has given us a break. We are recessed until the morning."
Bianca faces Kendall, who is about to leave when Bianca stops her. When Bianca questions Kendall's motives in showing up, Kendall replies that she is there for the same reason as Bianca. "I will just answer whatever questions Jackson asks me," she says. When Bianca accuses her of being there just to hurt Erica, Kendall sneers, "You think she will try to shut me up the way she shut up your girlfriend?" She goes on to tell Bianca she knows all about how Bianca "came out" and what she has been through with all the tabloids. From this, Kendall deduces that Erica hasn't accepted Bianca as being gay. "Erica hates outsiders," she tells Bianca. "I was - because I was her dirty little secret, and now you are too." As a parting shot, "Mother doesn't do 'different.'"
Ryan shows up at the Chandler mansion. "You told Adam you're leaving him, right?" he demands of Liza. "I love him, I tore up the divorce papers," Liza tells him. Ryan is furious, but Liza is adamant. "How can you leave someone you love?" she asks. Ryan asks her if she wants to end up like his mother in the same kind of abusive marriage. "What about Colby?" he demands. When Liza responds that Adam loves his children, "He cost you a child, Liza, my child!" he rages. "So I dump my husband, so you can get revenge?" Liza asks. "We all have problems, and we get over them! I have. Will you?" "Adam killed my child!" Ryan accuses. "That's not right," Liza pleads. "Don't do this to yourself!" Ryan looks furious, "I'm not letting anything go again!" and storms out, leaving a shaken Liza.
With court in recess, Erica decides to go to her office at Enchantment. Chris begs her to forget it, or if she must, just take the work home with her. Her wants to go home with her and then tell him everything about Kendall. Erica begs him to defend her against Kendall, and asks his forgiveness for firing him. He tells her she doesn't make things easy. Then she finds the door to her office is locked and starts shaking the door handle. "It's never locked!" she tells Chris.
Inside the office, a startled pair of lovers jump up from the sofa and grab at their clothes. Erica finds a key and looks around at the mess of clothes draped everywhere and slams the door shut. She spies another closed door, and stealthily approaches it and opens it - to find a semi-dressed Greenlee hastily buttoning up her blouse. Erica looks shocked. Then a sheepish Leo appears, buttoning up his shirt, his hair tousled. Outside, Chris mutters to himself, "If you think I'm a patsy, lady, you're dead wrong!"
After Kendall leaves, a disconsolate Bianca wanders back into the empty courtroom. She sits downs, thinking about the day's surprises. Myrtle comes in and finds her. Bianca tells Myrtle that although her mother killed Frankie she still loves her - her mother, she hastily clarifies. She wonders why Kendall is here now. "God knows," Myrtle says, "God help us!"
Ryan returns to the Pine Cone Motel. Hearing some extra loud music coming from one of the rooms, he yells at them to turn down the music. No result, so he bangs on the door, and as it swings open, he enters the room where the noise is and looks around. At that moment a towel-clad Kendall comes in from the bathroom. "Who the hell are you?" snaps Ryan. "What the hell are you doing in my hotel room?" Kendall asks him."
