"While in Chris Stamp's room, Ryan scratches with a pencil on a pad of paper he found to find out what had been previously written on it. He discovers that Chris has noted Ryan's birthday. Ryan is puzzled why Chris would be interested in his birth date. He becomes obsessed with finding what other information Chris might have so he searches the room. While he is throwing clothes on the closet floor, Anna enters the room and says that at the agency this is known as sloppy work. She tells him that Chris will guess in an instant that Ryan was searching his room. Ryan is surprised how Anna got into the room when he had locked the door. She holds up the tool she used to unlock the door, telling him she learned the skill in Spy School 101. Ryan tells Anna he wants everyone to leave him alone: Chandler, Stamp and her. He tells her to leave. Anna blurts out that she was married to Ryan's mother's cousin, Duke Lavery. Ryan is astounded. His jaw drops. He's not sure whether or not to believe Anna. Anna continues on saying that Ryan's mother, Gail, and Gail's cousin, Duke, were in touch with each other occasionally through cards and letters. She asks Ryan if his mother told him about Duke. Ryan retorts back he knows all he needs to know about his parents. He wants her to stop poking around in his family affairs. Anna tries to convince Ryan that she sympathizes with him as he has been through so much. She compares him with Duke saying they both are outraged when their basic rights are violated. You both have strong instincts about what is right and wrong she tells Ryan. While she is talking with Ryan, Anna straightens up the mess Ryan has made, hanging up the clothes in the closet. Anna tells Ryan she would like to work with him and would teach him how to search for information without being found out. Ryan firmly replies no thanks and leaves. Anna's beeper sounds off as she closes the door to the room.

At Pine Valley Hospital, Jake is talking to Dr. Peterson on the phone in David Hayward's office. Jake is going through a file log and tells Dr. Peterson the file was mailed last week as David bursts into his office. He angrily demands Jake to tell him what he is doing there. Jake hangs up the phone and yells back at David that he has been covering for David and he isn't going to any more. The two bicker back and forth yelling at each other until Dr. Joe Martin appears in the doorway demanding what is going on. He admonishes them for arguing so loudly that they could be heard in the hallway. Joe demands $50,000 from David for his research project budget overrun. David tells him to roll it over into the next year's budget. Joe wants an explanation for what the money was spent on. David refuses saying the competition could review his invoices and would then know what he is working on. He tells Joe he'll pay back the money out of his own personal funds and storms out of the office. Joe looks in amazement at Jake and wonders out loud if David really believes the competition would look over the invoices. Jake tells him no-he's just covering something up and that he doesn't know what David is up to.
