"Kendall was in her motel room asleep on her bed. She was having a nightmare about being put in jail and left there by Erica. She woke up screaming and Ryan ran into the room. She rushed into his arms. After she realized what she was doing, she ordered Ryan out of her room. Ryan wondered why she had a nightmare, and asked if her day in court wasn't that much fun. She said it was the "best damn day of my life" and again told Ryan to leave. He was disgusted by this and she went on and on about how wonderful it was to see Erica get what was coming to her. Ryan questioned her about Erica calling and asking for her help. Kendall said Erica didn't want Bianca to be with Frankie and admitted that she killed the girl. Ryan wondered if Erica had asked Kendall to go into hiding with her, would she? Kendall said it was a business arrangement, nothing more. Ryan told her she was a lousy liar. He then asked about the doll she has in her luggage. Kendall got very angry and said if he ever came into her room again she'd call the police. Ryan told her she was a walking disaster area. There was a knock on the door and when Kendall opened it she found Chris Stamp. Ryan asked why he was there and Chris said he wanted Kendall to fill him in on her history with Erica. Ryan started to hassle Chris and Kendall said whatever she has to say, she'll say it in court. Ryan told Chris to leave and Kendall repeated the request but called Chris "Buddy." Chris flew off the handle and told her to never call him that again. Kendall said the two men were just alike and they disagreed. Chris said he was wasting his time and left the room. Ryan told Kendall she was the rudest and most obnoxious person he'd ever known. The motel manager showed up and told them to keep it down and then handed Ryan a package. Kendall asked who it was from and Ryan said his mother. Then he said it was trash and put it in Kendall's trash can and left the room. Kendall picked it back up and said it was interesting that Ryan would call a package from his mother trash.
At the beach Chris Stamp led Anna roughly to a clearing. He said he needs her to help him and that he would make it worth her while. They argued for bit about David and Erica then got down to business. Chris said he has a case that he needs her on and offered his help to get her back on with the bureau. She said she's got another career move she's more interested in, she's heard that the Chief of Police position is available. He said that shouldn't be a problem and they agreed to the deal. Chris wanted Anna on a covert investigation into the death of Frankie Stone. He wanted Anna to get close to Vanessa Cortlandt, since she is the only person in Pine Valley that knew Frankie at all. He said he has some questions about Frankie's murder and that he believes if Anna can get close to Vanessa, she might be able to learn something that will help break the case. Anna trashed Vanessa, saying she was just an air-head. Chris said that it was just an act and that Vanessa might be much more intelligent than they think she is. Anna agreed to work on Vanessa and the two of them left the beach.
Vanessa showed up at David's hotel room at his request. She apologized again for having slept with Larry in her son's bedroom. David began yelling at Vanessa regarding her lover's attack on Leo. Vanessa stuck up for Larry, saying he was normally such a sweet man. David went nuts on her and demanded that she "take care of Larry." "From this moment on Mother, you will do as I tell you or life as you know it will be over!" David screamed at Vanessa. He told her he wouldn't let her compromise his research and she reiterated that she has Larry under control. David told his mother that she is a loser "as a mother and as a human being." He continued with the insults and Vanessa finally interrupted him saying she might just surprise him. He insisted that he won't let her take away the one thing that means anything to him. He then threatened Vanessa with Oak Haven, saying it wouldn't take much for him to convince the doctors there that she should be committed to the insane asylum. Vanessa laughed at David and he demanded that she get rid of Larry or he'll tell Palmer all about her affair with the chauffer. She began to get very angry and told David to stop acting like his overbearing father. David said he wouldn't commit suicide the way his father did. Vanessa replied "There are so many worse things I could have done to you. I could have you screaming for mercy in no time!." David didn't take her seriously and she said he's always underestimated her. Vanessa said that David is so wrong about her, "I'm not the half-wit you think I am!!! I am ......" and then she stopped herself from saying anymore. David prodded her to continue but she refused, saying she was just confused and upset. A knock at the door interrupted them and David opened the door to find Anna standing there. She walked in and tried to make conversation with Vanessa regarding Erica's trial. All Vanessa would say was that Frankie's death was so sad and she said her goodbye to David. David turned to Anna and asked why she was there. Anna said she was a glutton for punishment. He apologized for yelling at her at the hospital and she accepted. He told her what exactly happened to Leo and Anna was appalled. David noted that Anna seemed unusually upbeat and she admitted that she is up for the Chief of Police position. Then she told him that part of the deal of her getting the job is that she must investigate Vanessa. Meanwhile Vanessa is listening in on the discussion. David wondered why and Anna told him that Chris thinks there's much more to Vanessa than they think. David wanted more details and Anna said Chris believes that Vanessa's air-head routine is just an act. Vanessa raised her eyebrow at this comment.
At SOS Hank tried to get Opal to enjoy a glass of champagne. She refused, saying she was too upset about Erica. Hank was impressed with her devotion to her friend. Opal lamented about not being able to help Frankie and Erica, she thought maybe she could've done something the night Frankie was shot if she'd only been home. Hank told Opal that he thinks she's spectacular and poured on more compliments. He said talking to her makes him feel good and she said she felt the same towards him. Opal said that at her "time in life" a good gal-pal is very important and that's why she's so attached to Erica.. Hank said he believed that being loved by Opal would be the most wonderful thing in the world. This flustered Opal and she finally agreed to a glass of champagne. Hank was just telling Opal about a surprise he had for her when Palmer came over to the table. He asked to speak with Opal about Erica so Hank left them alone. Palmer sat down and said Erica wouldn't see him at the jail. Opal said that Erica knows what she's doing. Palmer wondered about Erica's motives and why she didn't get a high profile lawyer. Opal said Erica could take care of herself. Palmer then asked if there was something about the case that he didn't know about. She said there's always a part of Erica that she keeps to herself and that they just have to accept it. Palmer sadly agreed then said "She knows I'm only a phone call away, doesn't she?." Opal put her hand on top of Palmer's and assured him that Erica did know. Palmer was touched by Opal's gesture and it flustered him. He thanked her and left. Hank came back and said he was giving her something, a song he had written. He stepped up on the stage and began singing to Opal. Palmer watched from across the bar. Some of the words to the song were "I adore you, I'm falling for you, Let's fall in love." Opal was deeply touched. At the end of the song Hank stepped off the stage and kissed Opal. She hugged him back and told him he had a beautiful voice. He thanked her for making him use it again. Palmer watched jealously. Chris walked in and looked around. He sat in a corner and flashed back to the day he was in Ryan's room, when Ryan threw away the photo of his mother, then when he overheard Ryan asking Mia for help finding his father. Chris stood up and made a phone call, saying " I want you to run a background check on Patrick Ryan Curry.""
