"At the Pine Cone Motel, Ryan lays on his bed thinking. Kendall bursts in and tells him that she's found a room at the Motel 8 in Center City and they need to move out now. A skeptical Ryan asks if she's for real. Kendall reminds him his dad was just shot outside the door a couple of days ago. That's a good reason for him to leave-but why is she leaving with him. Kendall doesn't want to be around a crime scene either. She's already having nightmares and can still see the bloodstains on the ground. Ryan tells his Ms. Hart that he has to do a lot of soul searching about who he is and who his parents were. Kendall advises him to get over it and leave. Ryan says that his mom and dad were still together quite a while after he was born. Lavery wonders if his dad knew Chris was his real father and if that was the reason why he hated him. Kendall hugs Ryan, but he pulls back and says that he doesn't want to discuss any of this with her. Kendall says they've been through the same thing regarding not knowing their real parents. Ryan says it's not the same. Kendall says that she was still an adolescent when she found out she was adopted. "Is that why you're more screwed up than me," Ryan queries. Kendall says that it could be a toss up between the two of them. Kendall recalls how she accidentally found out she was adopted. She remembers overhearing her parents recalling when they got the family dog, Lulu, and that it was the same time they adopted her. Ryan states that she uses the fact that her adoptive parents kept her true identity from her to be a nuisance. Kendall says that Erica was a lot worse than the Harts ever were. On the other hand, his real took a bullet for him. But why, Ryan wonders. Kendall thinks it's because Stamp loves him. Ryan wonders if it's because he was just doing his job. He also wonders why Chris waited until recently to reveal his true identity. Ryan begins having a headache. Kendall goes to his bathroom to get three aspirins and a washcloth for his migraine. When she returns, he's gone.
Anna confronts Chris in his hospital room and reveals that she has proof to clear David of being Proteus. Too late-David's charges are being dropped. Chris has more news regarding Vanessa-she survived the crash. She was thrown out of the passenger's seat. However, the driver died instantly. Chris says that they've got a strong case against Vanessa with the voice distorter and drugs found in the car she was in. However, the case isn't full-proof. Anna says David should be cleared of all charges. Chris advises her not to put her emotions in this situation, like he has. He admits that she was right about the identity of Proteus. He also admits that Hayward didn't cause his paralysis-the bullet did. Anna suggests Stamp apologize to David for accusing him of the paralysis and being Proteus. Chris doesn't see that happening. David could have aided Vanessa in her crimes. Stamp asks who taught Vanessa how to induce heart attacks. Anna says that David's been accused of enough and he should back off him. Anna then asks about his recommendation for her being Pine Valley chief of police. Chris isn't sure she deserves it since she didn't tell him about David's cabin. Anna says he can do whatever he wants to do-that's what he'll do anyway. Before Anna leaves, Chris admits she did a good job with the Proteus case.
Kendall gets confronted by Mr. Wolfe, the landlord at the Pine Cone. He wants her out of his establishment as well as the money she owes him for rent. Kendall says that she'll be moving in with her "boyfriend" Mr. Lavery. Mr. Wolfe is skeptical since all he hears them do is argue. Ms. Hart insists that they're a lot more subtle when they "make up" later. She tells the landlord to put her debt on Ryan's tab. Mr. Wolfe warns her that they'll both be out if he doesn't get his money. After he leaves, Kendall wonders how she'll convince Ryan to let her bunk in with him.
At the police station, Leo, Greenlee, and Jake give their statements and ask Derek if they're free to go. Derek allows all of them to leave. Leo wants to wait and see if they bring Vanessa's body to the station. Derek has more questions for David. Greenlee and Jake head out. Leo tells David that he held a gun on their mother. David tells him that she's crazy and that she never loved either of them. Derek comes back and reveals that Vanessa is still alive and is being sent to the hospital. She's unconscious. David thinks they need to find out where Vanessa has Maggie stashed. Derek says they need to find someone who knew of Vanessa's recent whereabouts. Just then, Stuart and Marian arrive and reveal that they saw Mrs. Cortlandt at the old pump house. They thought she had someone there with her, possibly a lover. David thinks it was really Maggie. He asks Derek to release him so he can give his cousin medical attention. Derek says that he's not free to go yet. Leo agrees to go with Derek to the pump house. Marian and Stuart can't believe Vanessa is a drug pusher. Stuart admits he has always liked Vanessa, in spite of her evilness. All she needed was someone to smile at her. Marian is touched by her husband's sensitivity.
Jake and Greenlee arrive at her loft and Greenlee is thankful to see her home again. She notices messages on her answering machine. The first was from Leo from when they were on the island. She erases it and listens to the second message. It's from Derek, letting her know that Vanessa is still alive, but is in police custody at the hospital. Greenlee is upset that Vanessa has risen from the dead. Jake says they should be grateful that she's at least in custody. Greenlee remembers the spot where Vanessa drugged her. Greens wonders if Leo knows about his mom being alive and what he will do if she's incompetent and he would have to care for his mother. Jake tells Greenlee that it's okay for her to worry about Leo and feel sorry for him. After seeing what kind of person his mother is, he feels sorry for Du Pres as well. However, she shouldn't let him ignore her own needs. Ms. Smythe is ready to start over fresh. Jake says that it'll take some time to do that. Greenlee thanks Dr. Martin for helping her find Leo. Jake says she was right to look for him. Greenlee gets closer to Jake and kisses him. Jake tells her that if they are to make love again, it will be because no one else will matter to one another but each other. Greenlee says she would be dead if it wasn't for him. She admits that she should be with him and not Leo. Jake says he wants to share a lifetime of beautiful moments together. Greenlee lays with Jake on her couch and says she could lay with him all night. Just then, the phone rings. Val is on the other end asking her to get to Enchantment in a hurry. Greenlee goes to take a shower.
Ryan confronts Chris at the hospital to ask about his relationship with his mother. Chris isn't interested in that discussion. Ryan demands answers to his questions, starting with if his affair with his mom happened while she was married to Patrick Curry. Chris tells Ryan he knows they were still married. Ryan asks if it was a coincidence that he killed his so-called father years later. Stamp says he was only doing his job. Ryan doesn't believe his dad. He wants a clearer explanation of why he did what he did. Chris says that there was nothing abnormal about the details of his birth. Ryan asks why he took the bullet meant for him. Chris admits it wasn't because of his job. Ryan's upset that Chris has been playing God with his life and has no right to interfere in his business. Ryan asks if his parents hated each other. Stamp says he knows that answer is yes. Ryan believes Pat abused him because he knew Chris was his real father. Chris suggests Ryan stop reflecting on the past. Ryan needs to make peace and the only way to do that is to know the truth. Agent Stamp gives his son an earful and reveals that his mother claimed to have loved him, but only slept with him to get information to save her husband's back. Ryan calls him a liar and heads out the door. Chris tells him not to leave. Ryan looks at Chris and realizes he has just moved his legs.
Back at the police station, Anna arrives and tells David that Stamp has cleared him for the drug charges. David is grateful for Anna's input. He admits she was the only one who totally stood by him. She says he probably would do the same for her. He wants to focus on Maggie's whereabouts. Leo and Derek return to the station and reveal that Maggie wasn't in the pump house. David suggests they grill Vanessa for Maggie's location. He feels that if Maggie dies, Vanessa will have more to lose. She's sane enough to realize that it would be better if Maggie was found alive. Leo thinks she's gone over the edge. Derek summons David to a private area to sign his release papers. Leo tells Anna that he actually wishes his mother hadn't survived the car crash. Anna suggests he go home. He has no one to go home to. Call Greenlee, Anna suggests-she'll keep him informed of Vanessa's condition. Leo phones Greenlee. Jake answers the phone for her at the loft. A heartbroken Leo hangs up the phone.
David later heads to Vanessa's room at the hospital. She lies unconscious and pale. David urges Vanessa to tell him where Maggie is. Suddenly, Vanessa awakens when he mentions Maggie's name again. She mentions Maggie Smith, an actress she'd worked with during her days as an actress. A delusional Vanessa tells David - who she called "Mr. Mayer," after the found of MGM -- that she's better for the part than Maggie Smith and can be as mean as he needs her to be. She asks what she can do to prove she's right for "the part.""
