"Mia arrived at the hospital because of Jake's request. He told her he had a proposition for her, and she was mildly intrigued until he started talking. When Jake finished describing his deeds, Mia ripped into him. She was stunned that he had arranged for an internship in physical therapy at the hospital for her, plus a job at the hospital that wouldn't interfere with the training program.
Mia said Jake had done that to appease his guilty conscience. Jake tried to deny it, and Mia asked about Greenlee. Busted, Jake refused to go into details but admitted that he and Greenlee were no more. Mia told Jake to go save some other damsel in distress and walked away from him. Just then, Joe walked over and told Jake that Vanessa wanted to see them.
David and Anna continued their visit with Vanessa in her hospital room. Vanessa was screaming, and the guard entered to check. David told the guard that his mother was just overwhelmed with the news of his recent marriage, and the guard left. David and Anna gave Vanessa details of their elopement. David said they'd go to see her every Sunday in prison.
David turned to his blushing bride and said Vanessa looked a little jealous. He wondered if it was because Anna was everything Vanessa could never be -- kind, decent, caring -- and that Anna had won his heart forever. Vanessa burst out, "Never! She'll never replace me in your heart!" David asked her why she thought she was irreplaceable and what her next move would be. Anna and David kept badgering Vanessa until she blurted out, "I'm the star of this show. You can't replace me."
Anna left David to talk to his mother. David told Vanessa that she was "playing to an empty house," but Vanessa kept up the pretense. David told her she was all washed up and gave her a mirror. He also told her she was either going to prison or an asylum. David then said that Anna was going to help him repair all the damage he'd done because of the way Vanessa had raised him. She just kept preening in the mirror while David said that with his new wife, he'd finally become the man he was intended to be.
His mother snarled at him -- as Vanessa, not Rosie Wells -- "I made you with blood, sweat, and more money than God!" David questioned her, and she said she had financed all of his awards and grants throughout his life. David said that was garbage and that he had gone through medical school on a full scholarship. Vanessa said she had endowed the university with things like a new building, a foundation, and a laboratory, and they had given David a scholarship. David was stunned speechless for a moment, and Vanessa went on to say that the only thing bigger than his ego was "mummy's pocketbook." They continued arguing, and she said she had a career's worth of canceled checks to prove it.
David ran out of the room, extremely upset. In the lobby Anna tried to comfort David and said Vanessa couldn't take credit for his intelligence, his talent, or his gift. She said David had made himself an incredible physician, not Vanessa. David took it all in then told Anna that she knew something else about him that no one else could find out. Anna said that it was okay; she was his wife. David said he always felt like Vanessa was looking over his shoulder, she was always a presence in his life. Anna told him Vanessa was gone, he was free, and she knew he would do great things.
Jake and Joe went to see Vanessa. She was in her Rosie Wells act and told the two doctors that Vanessa had been there. She said Vanessa had told David she had financed his career with drug money and that David had known about it all along. She looked very smug as Joe and Jake raised their eyebrows.
Joe and Jake left Vanessa's room and contacted the hospital board. The two doctors walked through the lobby just in time to see David and Anna kissing. Joe told David the board was having an emergency meeting in 15 minutes, and David needed to attend. Joe got a call and left. David asked Jake what the meeting was about, and Jake said, "We're going to nail your coffin shut."
Ryan stepped out of the shower and into his room. He was startled to find the front door wide open and even more surprised to find Liza sitting on his bed. She didn't acknowledge him at first but finally told him she was totally stressed out. She asked about the shooting, and Ryan told her that Chris had taken the bullet for him. He then told Liza that Chris was his father. Liza was surprised but still a little spacey.
A knock on the door interrupted them, and Ryan opened the door and found JR standing there. JR handed Ryan a wad of money. Liza jumped up and demanded to know what JR was trying to buy. She went crazy on Ryan and JR for dealing in drugs. Ryan tried to explain that he had loaned JR some money and that it had not been for drugs.
Liza didn't believe a word of it, and she and JR kept yelling at each other. She wondered what JR's probation officer would have to say about him cutting school. JR told her there wasn't any school that day, and then Liza remembered she was supposed to pick Colby up from school. She ran out.
Adam sat in his home office, reading Tempo. He called WRCW, looking for Liza, but was told she wasn't in. Stuart walked in and told his brother that he had picked Colby up from school because Liza hadn't shown up, and the school had called him. Adam thought that was strange but wasn't worried. He showed Stuart the Tempo magazine, and Stuart said he just couldn't believe that Vanessa was Proteus.
Adam said JR had gotten into drugs because of Proteus. He also said he couldn't believe Palmer hadn't known about Vanessa and said that Courtland Electronics was going to take a hit for it. Adam called Chandler Enterprises and wanted to talk to Doug Mitchell, the Chief Financial Officer, but was told that Liza had fired him. Adam was very angry, and Stuart tried to calm him down as Liza walked in. She thanked Stuart for picking Colby up from school and then began telling Adam about finding JR at Ryan's. JR walked in, and they all began to argue.
Adam told JR to tell his story, and JR said he had gone to Ryan's to pay back a loan and had found Liza there first. Adam turned to Liza and asked why she had been at Ryan's instead of at work. JR and Stuart left the room, and Adam again asked why Liza had been in Ryan's room. She claimed they had needed to talk about Gillian's playground, but Adam didn't believe her. She got angry and walked out. Adam sat down in astonishment, and Stuart returned. He said Liza had looked mad and asked Adam if he'd asked her about firing the CFO. Adam said no and told Stuart not to mention it either.
Erica thought Jack was joking when he said the only way to get rid of Kendall was murder. He told her to stop trying to control everyone and everything around her. She said he had tried to buy Kendall out of Pine Valley for Bianca's sake. However, Jack looked at Erica and said he had done it for her sake. Erica said she'd made a mistake, calling Jack, and wouldn't ask him for help again.
Erica got up to leave, saying she was going to see Chris at the hospital. Jack said, "Even when he doesn't want you?" She told Jack that she loved Chris and that he loved her, too, or at least he'd realize it soon. Jack said he had talked to Chris during Erica's trial and had tried to warn him to put up walls so as not to get sucked in by Erica's tricks. Erica was furious, and Jack told her to give Chris the respect he deserved. Erica just stormed off.
Chris sat in his hospital bed, ordering his legs to move. Kendall walked in with his lunch tray. He asked her what she was trying to pull, and Kendall said she was there to blackmail him. She said she had an update on Ryan, and Chris said he didn't need information on Ryan. Kendall said it was a farce that he and Ryan pretended not to care for each other. Chris said it was rich, Kendall giving advice on family matters.
Kendall told him that Ryan had said he was a lot like Chris and that he had said it like he was proud of it. Chris asked if she was quoting Ryan. She told him that she had tried to connect with Ryan and that they were living together. Chris got a bit huffy and asked, "What's your angle, and what do you want from my son?" He wanted to know if they were "shacking up," but Kendall told him they were not interested in each other that way.
She then asked what the "real deal" was with him and Erica. Chris said Erica had conned him, and there was nothing between them. He then asked what Kendall really wanted, and she said she had a pocketful of parking tickets he could fix or pay. He just laughed. Then Kendall regaled Chris with a story about a laundromat caper she and Ryan had had.
The two of them laughed loudly, and Ryan, who had just arrived, listened from outside the door. Erica showed up, and Ryan was confused because he had thought she was in with Chris, making him laugh. Erica opened the door and was furious to see Kendall and Chris having a grand time."
