"In her hospital bed, Vanessa awakened and found Mateo staring at her. Vanessa said that she was supposed to have a "private suite." Mat advised her to "cut the crap." He snatched away the call button when she tried to grab for it and then grabbed her hand. Vanessa acted as if she was one of her multiple personalities and asked who he was. Mateo said he was a disgruntled employee who wanted her dead. Vanessa told him to stop the strong-arm tactics.
Mateo asked if she remembered who he was, and she feigned stupidity. He reminded her that she had forced him to sell drugs and at the same time had threatened his family and had almost had him killed. Vanessa begged him to let her go. Mateo vowed she would be punished. She reminded him there was a security guard outside her door. Mateo assured her that he had learned a few things about getting rid of guards.
Vanessa asked what Mateo wanted. He wanted the time she had taken from him, Hayley, and Lorenzo, which she could never give him back. He vowed to give her a punishment that would be slow and painful. He let her go, and she closed her eyes as she rubbed her hurt hands. When she opened her eyes back up, she was alone.
Greenlee slept in the Enchantment office as a mysterious man walked in. He tapped her shoulder, and she jumped up. She looked up and in shock she said, "Oh, my God." It was Roger. Greenlee gave her dad a hug as he told her that he had tried her place before going to her job. Greenlee claimed she'd had work to finish up.
Roger told his daughter that he'd been a bad father at a time when she had needed him. However, he needed her more than he ever had. He asked for money to get out of town so he wouldn't get arrested. Greenlee wanted to know what was going on. He begged her to just give him the money. She wouldn't give him any money without an explanation. He revealed that he had worked for Proteus and had been drawn into the drug ring. However, he hadn't known it was Vanessa until he had read the article in Tempo.
Greenlee was in shock over the news. He assured her that he had been a pawn in Proteus' game and demanded to know if Greenlee was giving him the money. Greenlee called her father a selfish pig and was upset that he had caused that stress for her after she had lost both Leo and Jake. Roger tried to apologize for his words. Greenlee said that they were both pathetic. Roger demanded his daughter's help. "You can't have it," Greenlee spat.
Greenlee was upset that Roger hadn't even tried to see if she had been okay after the kidnapping. He said that he had been trying to lay low and prevent being caught by the cops. She asked her father if he'd ever done anything for someone else. She felt that he was only looking out for himself and didn't "give a damn" about her. She then admitted that he had given her one thing -- the ability to take care of and look out for herself.
Roger continued to beg for Greenlee's help. In the middle of their argument, the police burst in the office and arrested Roger for his crimes. He begged his daughter to call a lawyer for him. Greenlee refused and told the cops to inform the D.A. that she'd be more than happy to testify against him in court. In the middle of everything, Mateo walked in. Roger continued to beg for her help. The two police officers escorted Roger out of the office.
Mateo advised Greenlee to calm down. Greenlee told him that he had worked for the woman that had tried to kill her. She needed to talk to someone about what had happened, but remembered that neither Leo nor Jake would want to talk to her anymore. She apologized for talking about her problems. Mateo understood and later suggested that she be a little easier on her dad. Greenlee wondered why he was defending her dad. Mateo told her that Vanessa had made an art of threatening her workers, including Roger.
Greenlee asked if Roger had stayed on with Proteus to protect her. Mateo admitted Roger had done it for her. Greenlee was surprised her dad had actually done something to protect her. Mateo advised Greenlee to try to find a lawyer for Roger. Greenlee wondered if Vanessa would ever be punished for her misdeeds and how to punish a person who had no feelings.
A wasted Leo slept on a park bench. Simone woke him, gave him some sunglasses, and offered him a meal to cure his obvious hangover. Leo refused to accept anything from the reporter. He advised her to back off. She blasted him for rejecting her help. Leo said the last thing he needed was another person who wanted to rescue him.
Simone asked if Leo thought she was trying to pick him up. Leo thought she might be doing just that. Simone assured him that no one would want a guy who looked like hell and smelled like a keg. She assured Leo that she was not desperate enough to pick up someone as obnoxious as him. Besides, she had already made a fool of herself by trying to seduce a happily married man and also getting a Fed killed.
Simone said that she had just been trying to help him out, since Greenlee had obviously dumped him. Leo assured her he hadn't been dumped. Simone disagreed and pointed out that nobody would want to hook up with him. She threw the food she had bought him in his lap and called him ungrateful. He asked why she was wasting her time, talking to him. Simone agreed. After all, his mother had royally screwed up her life.
Leo blasted Simone for even mentioning his mother's name after what she had done to him, Greenlee, Frankie, and Maggie. Leo left the park but returned a little later when he couldn't get any money out the ATM to buy coffee. Leo apologized to Simone for his earlier actions. She brushed it off. Leo wondered why he would have no money in his account and soon figured out that Vanessa had probably taken it. Leo couldn't believe that he not only had no money but also no home.
Simone mentioned that she had just bought a new place. Leo asked why she was telling him about her new living arrangements. Simone said that since she no longer had a steady job, she needed to save money. He could help her move, and she could cancel the movers she had hired. He could also stay a couple of nights until he could figure out what to do next with his life. Leo wondered why. Simone said it was to save $500. Leo wasn't buying it.
Simone admitted she felt sorry for Leo. He took her up on her offer. Simone gave him the address, and Leo was in shock. He realized that it was the same building Greenlee lived in.
Back in Vanessa's hospital room, Vanessa told Jack that a dark-haired man she hadn't recognized had threatened her, and his name had been Mateo. Jack called in a female guard to ask if Vanessa had had any visitors. Rosie Wells was her name, Vanessa spat to Jack. The guard assured Jack that since her shift had begun the night before, no one had been in Vanessa's room.
Vanessa assured Jack that the guard was lying and mentioned the call she had received the night before. She was confident the distorted voice had been Mateo's and that he had been threatening her. Jack said she didn't have any phone privileges -- or a phone -- in her room. Vanessa looked around and was shocked to see there was no phone in the room.
In Elk Green, newlyweds Anna and David awoke in bed together . David greeted "Mrs. Hayward" with a seductive kiss. Anna pulled back, and David assumed that the fun was over since they had become man and wife. David told her how he had enjoyed everything they had done the previous night after the wedding. Anna got out of bed and said she was starving. David was starving, too -- for Anna. He pulled her back into bed as she reminded him that they had only gotten married to prevent her from testifying against him in court.
Anna wondered if she should be sending David there instead. Before she could answer, David found out the storm was over, and they could head back to Pine Valley. David told Anna she was free to turn him in. Anna assured David that he had misinterpreted what she had said. David said that they might have gotten married for nothing -- he hadn't been charged with anything yet. He asked if she was miserable. She denied his accusation. David assured her that she looked it.
Anna wondered if she and David had rushed into matrimony a little too fast. She wondered if either of them knew the rules. He reminded her that getting married had been her idea. He also said that she had all the power in their relationship. He was shocked to see that she was already getting dressed. Anna figured it was just time to get on with the day. He kidded her about sending out wedding announcements.
David assured Anna that he wouldn't spill the beans about their wedding until she could become chief of police. Anna asked him to help her put her necklace on. David couldn't resist kissing the back of her neck. The couple wound up kissing passionately and back in bed. Afterwards, Anna got back up and made an attempt to get dressed again. David finally put on her necklace but couldn't resist kissing her neck again.
After Anna suggested David needed a shave, he asked if she was going to be a nagging wife. She wondered if he was going to be a lazy husband who drank beer and watched sports all day. David assured her that wouldn't be him. He assured Anna that he cared about her. Anna knew that they would help each other out in their own ways.
David seemed disappointed in Anna's views on her marriage but kept it from Anna. Anna wondered why she would say what she had just said to him. David told her that he'd check out, and she could get the car. He revealed that he had a little business to take care of after they returned to Pine Valley.
Later, a scream emanated from Vanessa's hospital room. The guard went to see what the commotion was. The guard walked in and found newlyweds David and Anna holding flowers.
Ryan woke up in his bed and found Kendall lying on him. Ryan asked her to wake up. When she opened her eyes, he asked if she had slept well. "Like a rock," she answered. Ryan reminded Kendall she was supposed to have slept on the couch. Kendall felt his bed was a better option and asked if he wanted to play.
Just then, there was a knock at the door. Kendall begged Ryan to get rid of whoever was at the door so they could have some fun. Ryan reminded her that she was supposed to be looking for a job that day. Kendall had other plans and suggested that he take advantage of the fact that she was wearing his shirt in his bed. Erica continued to knock, and a fed-up Kendall went to answer the door. Erica was shocked to find her daughter at the door and a shirtless Ryan in bed.
Erica asked to speak to Ryan about Chris -- alone. Kendall got dressed and offered to get coffee for herself and Ryan -- but not her mother. After Kendall left, Ryan told Erica he was not telling her anything about Kendall. Erica assured him that she was there strictly to talk about Chris. She said that he was about the same, but she was worried about what would happen to him after he was released from the hospital. She wanted to take him to her house, but he would never go for that if she suggested it. Ryan said that he wouldn't be able to convince him to move into Erica's place either.
Erica asked if Ryan wanted his father to get better. Ryan assured her that he only wanted him to recover. Beyond that, he was washing his hands of it. Erica said that Chris loved him. Ryan didn't believe it was true, despite the fact that Chris had taken a bullet for him. Erica told Ryan that if he helped her with Chris, she would pay him enough money so he could move out of the Pine Cone and get a fresh start away from Kendall.
After assuring Erica that he was not involved with Kendall, he asked her "who the hell" she thought she was. Like Chris, he refused to be bribed by Erica. Erica told him that she simply needed help with Chris. Ryan said that he was sorry Chris was rejecting her, but there was nothing he could do about it. He did admit that he wouldn't give up on Chris to recover, and neither should she. He wouldn't give up because of what Chris had done for him.
Kendall returned and told Erica that it was time for her to go. Erica said that she and Ryan weren't finished, but he said they were. Erica left, and Kendall was happy that he had told Erica to leave. She noticed Ryan seemed upset and asked him what was wrong. Ryan remembered saying that he would never be like his father, but he had told Erica that he was like Chris. Kendall assured him that it was no big deal.
Ryan asked Kendall if she ever felt like she was like Erica. "Good God, no," hissed Kendall. Ryan wondered what he needed to do. Kendall rushed out and told Ryan she had to go on a job interview. After stepping outside, Kendall called the hospital on her cell phone and asked for Chris's room number.
At the park, Erica met up with Jack and asked him if he had tried to bribe Kendall to get out of town. Jack said he had, but apparently it hadn't worked. Erica asked him what it would take to get Kendall out of town permanently."
