"In the steam room Mia and Jake were all alone, relaxing in the warmth. Mia was lying on a bench and Jake kneeled next to her, telling her that he was enjoying himself. He admitted that taking the time to enjoy himself was something he had to learn and Mia realized that Greenlee was the one who taught him how. Jake said Greenlee did introduce him to the pleasures of the steam room. Mia said she knew that Jake still had it bad for Greenlee and he said he was in "a little recovery." Mia said that when a relationship ends, the feelings don't just go away immediately. Jake said it sounded like she knew something about getting over someone and Mia said yes she did. He said they were both on the rebound which wasn't a good thing because he just couldn't heal someone else's heart right now. Mia said she wasn't asking him to and said he'd already done so much for her. She asked what she could do for him in return and Jake said he'd like a massage. So he laid down on the bench and she straddled his back and began the massage. Mia asked how he liked his massages and Jake said he liked it "rough." She worked on his tensed muscles while they talked about ways of getting over lost loves. Jake said it was his turn to give her a massage and they switched places.

At Enchantment Erica ranted at Greenlee and Leo for fooling around in her office. Greenlee tried to make up a story about trying out their new line of sunless tanning lotions but Erica didn't buy that story. Erica said Greenlee had proven once again that she was irresponsible and can't be trusted. Leo jumped in and stood up for Greenlee, saying she'd been working her "little tush" off for Erica. Leo insisted that Erica should be showering Greenlee with praise and wondered how ungrateful Erica could be. Leo demanded that Erica apologize to Greenlee or Greenlee would walk out. Erica retorted with "Promise??." She refused to apologize to Greenlee and Leo kept insisting that she do so. Greenlee ordered Leo to leave and asked Erica for another chance. He didn't leave and Greenlee groveled to Erica, begging her to keep her on until the trial was over and she would prove how much Enchantment needed her. Finally Erica agreed and walked out of the office.In the lobby Chris was waiting for her and asked if she'd gotten everything she needed to work at home. Erica said no and that she decided to stay there and work. Chris said he'd go to Myrtle's and wait for her to call him and walked away. Erica pulled out her cell phone and called someone, saying "Where are you? Stay put, I'll be right there." She briskly walked out of Enchantment, not knowing that Chris had listened to her phone conversation and followed her out. Meanwhile in Erica's office, Leo said he didn't like the way Erica treated Greenlee but Greenlee said this job meant everything to her. She said she was Erica's slave and wanted to learn everything she could from Erica. They began arguing about Greenlee's job, with Greenlee saying that Jake would understand her devotion to the job. At this point Vanessa strolled in, saying she needed to speak to Leo. Greenlee told Leo to deal with his mother and she left. Vanessa told her son that her marriage was on the line and she needed his help. She said Larry the chauffer won't give her up. Leo told Vanessa that Greenlee comes first in his life and Vanessa became enraged, yelling that she came first with Leo, always. She begged Leo to help her and he refused, saying once again she just wants him to put his own life on hold for hers. Vanessa said they used to make such a good team. Leo agreed that she had trained him well, to come running when she called. But she'd never given him the one thing he needed most, love. But now he found that with Greenlee and he wasn't about to let his mother destroy that. Vanessa pretended dismay saying "How could you accuse me of not loving you?." Leo said his upbringing had not been normal and that he doesn't want to be her confidant anymore. He told his mother to leave him and Greenlee alone. She sadly said fine, I'll take care of Larry myself and started towards the door. Leo asked what she meant, what was she going to do to Larry. Vanessa replied "What do you care?" and left the office.

At the Pine Cone Motel Ryan asked Kendall to keep the music down, but she refused. She popped open a champagne bottle and said she has a front row seat and is going to watch "her crash and burn!", then chugs champagne directly from the bottle. Ryan has no idea what she's talking about. Ryan told her again to just keep the music down, he's in the room right across from her and just wanted some quiet. She lit a cigarette and taunted Ryan, telling him to read her the rules and watch her break them. Ran said he didn't care what she did as long as she kept the music down and walked out the door. She marched right over and turned the volume up. A few minutes later Ryan rushed back in when he saw smoke, there was a fire in the trash can. Kendall came out of the bathroom in a silky red robe just as Ryan put out the fire. He told her she should just leave Pine Valley but she said she couldn't. He asked who she was and she replied "Guess!." Ryan said she just set the fire on purpose, to attract attention to herself. He picked up the phone and called the police, saying he just stopped someone from burning down the motel and that they should send the arson unit. Kendall lunged at the phone but was too late. She told him to call off the cops or she'll have him arrested for breaking and entering. They continued arguing and in walked Erica. Ryan wondered if the two women knew each other and Kendall told him that Erica Kane was her mother. Ryan was stunned. Erica told Kendall that "If you go on the witness stand tomorrow, so help me......" Kendall piped in, what, you'll kill me too? Ryan asked if this really was Erica's daughter and Erica said yes, and that Kendall hated her for that. Ryan said he was going to leave and Kendall tried to get him to stay, saying she needed protection from her mother. Ryan said he thought it was Erica that needed the protection. Mother and daughter continued the argument, Erica saying that she'd like them to start over. In walked Chris Stamp. He yelled at her for lying about staying at Enchantment, but she said she just had to find out what Kendall was going to say on the stand tomorrow. Chris said she was just making things worse as they all heard sirens heading their way. Erica looked frightened as Kendall said Ryan called the cops. Ryan said he had just faked the call. Jackson Montgomery showed up and said the police were there because Erica's ankle bracelet set off alarms when she went out of her bail zone. Erica promised it wouldn't happen again and Jack said you're right because you'll be in jail. Kendall smiled in glee as Erica looked horrified. She couldn't believe that Jack would drag her to jail and Chris accused Jack of setting this up, knowing that if he brought Kendall to Pine Valley Erica would try to see her. Kendall said Jack didn't call her, she had called him and that she couldn't wait for Erica to get what she deserves. Jack, Chris and Erica left the motel room. Kendall picked up the champagne bottle and told Ryan she needed "more of this because Erica's going down!." Ryan told her she was pathetic for getting off watching her mother go to jail and left the room.

Back in the steam room, Jake began rubbing Mia's shoulders and she was in heaven. In walked a towel clad Greenlee. Jake ordered her to leave but she refused, saying she didn't follow him there. He accused her of needing his shoulder to cry on. Mia said they needed to work things out and left, even though Jake asked her not to. Jake yelled at Greenlee for chasing another person out of his life. He told her not to pretend she didn't come there on purpose, they always met in the steam room on the same day at the same time after she got off work and this was the day. Greenlee had honestly forgotten but realized that Jake remembered and was thrilled. "You hoped I'd be here!" she cried. Jake said she was way off base and got up to go find Mia. Greenlee said she wasn't stalking him, that she had hoped the steam room would be empty so she could be alone and pretend that Jake was next to her, giving her advice. She wished they could be friends and said she wants to hold onto what Jake gave her. "You helped me believe in myself, that means everything to me!" she told him. Jake said he was sorry for jumping to conclusions. He sat down next to her and she told him she was not chasing after him, she didn't want him back. He said he hoped she enjoyed her steam and left her alone. Greenlee got up to follow him out but the door was locked or stuck. She began to bang on the door and yell for help."
