"David filled Vanessa in that Chris was investigating suspicious heart attacks as links to Proteus. Vanessa sarcastically said that she had to be Proteus because of the suspicious deaths of Paolo and Larry. David told her that she wasn't smart enough to be Proteus, but she could be working for him.
Meanwhile, Maggie freed one hand and began pounding on the wall. David noticed and accused Vanessa of having a lover stashed there. She stopped him from investigating and told him that no one else was there. She then changed the subject and told him that she knew all about his secret experiments and secret lab. She threatened to tell Joe Martin about it unless he stayed out of her life.
David told Vanessa that she was getting desperate, and he walked out of the loft. Afterwards, Vanessa returned to Maggie, promising to make David pay. She also yelled at Maggie for releasing her hand and told her that she'd had her last chance.
Anna showed up at the hospital and told a nurse that she was looking for copies of the same records that Agent Stamp had picked up. The nurse told her she wasn't authorized, but Anna gave her Chris's "authorization." The nurse left to get the information as Anna said to herself, "You're good."
Jake told Greenlee they were alone on the island, but Greenlee told him they weren't. He turned around and saw Leo. Leo quickly filled them in on how he'd found them, and Jake politely excused himself to check on Leo's rescue plane. After he left, Greenlee told Leo what Vanessa had tried to do, but he wasn't buying it. He accused her of running back to Jake whenever the going got rough, and he told her she was insecure.
Greenlee got upset and began kicking dirt on Leo. She said that she couldn't believe he would believe his own mother over her, as she showed him the scar from the needle that Vanessa had struck her with. It finally began to dawn on Leo that she was telling the truth. With Greenlee still upset and Leo feeling guilty, Jake returned and told them that they had to leave immediately because his female pilot was upset that Leo was going after a fiancée. Before they could move far, however, they looked up in time to see the plane flying away. All three were upset as they realized they were still stranded.
Leo asked to see Jake's bruise, and he finally realized what Vanessa had done. He apologized to both of them about not believing them and walked away to be by himself. Jake noticed that Greenlee wanted to go with him, but Jake argued with her not to. He told her that Leo was always playing a hurt act, wanting her to comfort him. She couldn't keep falling for it.
Jake told Greenlee that Leo was incapable of love, but she tried to defend him. Finally, Jake said, "Don't. Choose us." She got up and walked over to Leo. When Leo saw her, he gave her a hug as Jake watched.
Kendall pulled Ryan back into the room, before the sniper could fire. She told him to stay away from Mateo, Hayley, and the drug scene. He told her he wasn't worried, and he left again. While the sniper looked on, Erica showed up to see Kendall. Before they got far, Chris and Mateo showed up as well. They pulled Ryan into Kendall's room to talk to him, while Erica and Kendall were left outside to talk.
Chris and Mateo asked Ryan for the disk, but he refused to give it to them until he cleared it with Hayley first. He didn't trust Chris, and he thought that Mateo was wrong to trust him. Mateo said he didn't care and to "give me the damn disk." Chris settled down Mateo and kicked him out so he could talk to Ryan alone. Chris said he cared about Ryan, and someone could try to kill him as long as he had the disk.
Ryan asked Chris why he cared so much. Chris told Ryan to think about the picture with "Stamp of Approval" on the back. He asked Ryan to look at him and said that he had loved Ryan's mother. He had loved her nine months before Ryan's birth. "I'm your father, Ryan. I am," Chris said.
Outside the motel room, Erica told Kendall she was there to see her to talk about Bianca. However, she made an observation that Kendall seemed overly protective of Ryan. Erica told her that Ryan didn't deserve her, and she should stay away from him. They continued exchanging insults, and Kendall reminded Erica of how she'd used Chris and then lost him. Kendall reminded Erica that she liked to collect men. Erica started growing teary-eyed and admitted that she had lost Chris, and it had been a horrible mistake.
After leaving the room, Mateo heard some noise and walked up by the sniper. The sniper ducked around, as Mateo asked, "Who's there?" He turned back around just in time to be knocked unconscious by the gunman. The sniper returned to his post.
David returned to his hotel room and noticed Anna looking over the files. He was impressed that she had taken the risk to get them. He filled her in on his visit with Vanessa, and they were convinced that she truly was hiding something, or she wouldn't blackmail him. Anna wanted to surprise her again, so they both headed over to the loft. Once there, they discovered the loft empty. As they were searching, Anna noticed something on the mantel. She picked it up and showed it to David: a used syringe.
Ryan asked Chris for the whole story. Chris told of how he'd met Ryan's mother and recounted their life in Chicago. He told about how Ryan's mother had stayed with him when she had been on the run from Patrick, how they had fallen in love, and how she had left him. He told Ryan he had only realized the truth about a month before.
Ryan appeared to be listening and believing but then told Chris that the timing was suspicious. He accused Chris of playing that card just to get the disk and destroy it and, along with it, any proof that Chris was Proteus. Kendall and Erica walked into the room as Ryan told Chris that he wasn't believing the lie that Chris was his father. Ryan stormed out of the room.
Ryan walked across to his own room and sat down on the patio as the sniper took aim. Meanwhile, Erica implored Chris to go after him. Chris finally did. As he left the room, Mateo regained consciousness and saw the sniper. He screamed, "Chris, Ryan, sniper!" Chris saw him and ran in front of Ryan just as the gun went off. Chris was shot in the chest and collapsed in Ryan's arms. Erica left Kendall's room and screamed when she saw what had happened."
