"Greenlee walked into Erica's office and found Kendall trying to open Erica's private filing cabinet. Greenlee cackled with glee and told her rival she was going to "turn her bony butt in" when Erica arrived. Greenlee demanded that Kendall try to explain her actions to Erica, but before Kendall could say two words Greenlee was blabbing all to Erica. Erica said she was devastated at both of them. She said it was a test for Greenlee and now she knows Greenlee is a snitch and Erica said she can't stand a tattle tale. Kendall was stunned as Erica told her she must stay one step ahead of her enemies. Erica went on to say it had been a test for Kendall as well, to see how ambitious she is. She said Kendall would've passed if Greenlee hadn't stopped her. Erica told them both that she considers ambition an asset. Kendall asked if she was fired and was told not this time. Erica advised Greenlee and Kendall to learn from their mistakes. As she reviewed Kendall's work Erica complimented Kendall on her accomplishments. Greenlee became furious and threatened to share confidential information if Erica didn't reconsider her position immediately. Kendall wondered what was going on and Erica said it was just a product Greenlee was working on. She told Kendall to go talk to Val for a few minutes so she could speak to Greenlee. After Kendall left Erica and Greenlee argued about Greenlee's job. She demanded to know Erica's plan and threatened to spill the beans to Kendall. Greenlee also demanded that Erica stop using her but Erica said she was actually deeply committed to furthering Greenlee's career at Enchantment. Erica said Kendall was incompetent and that she craves approval. Once she screws up royally at Enchantment she'll be publicly humiliated and will crawl back under her rock. Greenlee said that was all nice but it wasn't worth her abject humiliation. She demanded a promotion to Vice President or she'd tell Kendall everything. Erica agreed but said Greenlee had to help her deal with Kendall. Greenlee told her boss to sit back and enjoy the show. Kendall returned and Greenlee made nice to her, saying she had been unprofessional in her treatment of Kendall. Greenlee also said Erica would destroy her career if she didn't make this work with Kendall. Kendall scoffed at her and told Greenlee she was on probation and then sent her for a latte, much to Greenlee's disgust. When Greenlee returned with the drink, the three women attempted to work together. Kendall thought to herself "Smile now Erica, soon I'll have everything I want!." Erica thought "Kendall, enjoy your 15 minutes now because soon you'll be in Paris while Bianca, Chris and I start our new lives together!." Greenlee was thinking "Erica, you're hiding something and I'm going to find out what!." They all looked at each other suspiciously but kept pretending to work. As Greenlee and Kendall looked over some files Erica slipped a letter from Revlon into a briefcase.
Sitting in her hospital bed Vanessa talked to herself while trying to eat her dinner. Proteus's voice boomed into the room, insinuating that the food had been tampered with. Vanessa screamed for the guard and he and Leo rushed into the room. She claimed the food was poisoned and Leo sent the guard away, explaining it was just her illness talking. Vanessa told Leo she didn't want to die and he helped her back to bed. Leo told his mother that he wants to get her out of the hospital and Pine Valley. He proposed that they escape together and Vanessa looked like she believed him. But then she slipped into the Rosie Wells persona. Leo told her he was arrested for trying to help her, that he destroyed evidence for her. "Rosie" kept on talking about a part in a movie while Leo told her to wrap this insanity thing up. "The only thing between us and prison are a couple of hack lawyers" Leo told her. He asked if she trusted him and she just twirled her hair with her fingers and smiled at him. Rosie said escape scenes were difficult to play and that she had to think about her career. Leo said he was traveling solo then and apologized for pointing a gun on her at the boathouse. He reminded her of something she'd told him once, that no matter where they were they'd always look at the same moon and stars and that they could always be truthful with each other. Leo leaned over Vanessa and said "Good luck Mother" and kissed her goodbye. Vanessa grabbed him and said she was with him "Let's do break out! I have plenty of money stashed away!." She told him if he did as she said they'd be long gone by morning. Leo laughed at her, saying she'd been Vanessa all this time. She said Rosie was the best character she'd ever played; she could keep the doctors going for a long time. Vanessa confessed that her only problem has been Mateo, that he wants her dead. They began to make plans for later and Leo said he'd go get her some street clothes. Vanessa grabbed him by the collar and hissed "Don't double cross me this time!." Leo said he wouldn't and he left the room. Trey caught up to him and Leo showed him a small video camera he'd stashed in his bag. Leo told his mother's lawyer that he had a confession on tape that she'd been pretending all this time to be insane. Leo and Trey walked away as Mateo stepped from around the corner, having heard their discussion. Leo went to Jack (who was at the hospital) and gave him the tape. Jack said he couldn't cut him a deal on his legal problems and Leo said he didn't expect one, that he just wanted Vanessa stopped. Jack told Leo he was a good kid and left with the tape.
Adam talked to Liza as she lie in her hospital bed. He told her not to be frightened, that the tumor was benign and that she would be fine. Liza opened her eyes, looked very confused and asked "Who are you?." Adam was devastated. He explained who he was and Liza turned away from him and began to whimper. Jake came in and introduced himself and then asked Adam to leave while he checked Liza. Adam went into the hallway and joined Stuart. Adam told him that Liza was afraid of him and can barely mumble. Stuart tried to comfort his brother and Adam said he wanted Liza back the way she was. Stuart said even if she isn't the same, she's still Liza and he'll love her anyway but Adam wasn't so sure. Stuart gave him a pep talk, and reminded him about how much he helped Stuart when they were little. Stuart said part of his brain was AWOL but that because of Adam's love, his heart was whole. Stuart said they'd all love Liza and make her feel whole again too.
Mat and Hayley ran into Trey at the hospital and Mateo grabbed Trey. He threatened Trey's career if he is able to get Vanessa free. He reminded the attorney that no one in this town wants Vanessa to get off. Trey reminded Mateo that even Vanessa has the right to counsel. Hayley tried to get Mat to lay off but he went on to say that Vanessa was just playing with the doctors. Trey left and Mateo said to Hayley "As long as she's alive she's dangerous." Hayley was worried about what Mat was going to do and he said he was playing by Vanessa's rules now. They argued a bit and Mat said he just couldn't leave Vanessa to the justice system. Hayley saw Adam and went to him while Stuart joined Mateo and told him Liza may be permanently impaired. Edmund and Brooke arrived and Brooke took Adam to get some coffee. Edmund hugged Hayley as Mateo took off without a word. She looked around for him and said he's up to something that doesn't include her.
Adam returned to Liza's room and Jake let Mia in. Liza didn't recognize her so Jake told her it was her sister. Mia began talking to Liza and she seemed to listen to her. Mia told her how much everyone loves her and that there were tons of flowers and cards waiting for her at home. She told her sister that she just couldn't believe she was connected to someone so lovely, so strong, so one of a kind. "This world needs you, I need you, Colby needs you," Mia said. Liza tried to talk but only produced noises. Adam left the room and Brooke joined him. He told her Liza was making sounds but not making any sense. Brooke told him to just be there for his wife and Adam cried out "It's not fair!." Brooke told him no, it wasn't fair, it was life. Mia came out of Liza's room and told Stuart she had an idea to help Liza and she'd be right back.
Brooke and Hayley got together and talked about a party for Edmund, until he returned to Brooke's side. He told Hayley he couldn't find Mateo anywhere. He asked if she'd like to join them for dinner and Hayley refused his offer, saying she wanted to stay there with Adam. After they left Hayley looked around and wondered where her husband was.
Adam went back into Liza's room and talked to her some more. Mia returned and brought a few things to show Liza. She handed her a picture Colby had made for her mother, and Ludwig, a stuffed bear Colby sent to sleep with Liza. Then Mia gave Liza a picture of her and Colby together. Liza looked at the picture and recognized the face and said "Colby!" very plainly. Adam was so happy and he said yes, that's our little girl!.
In Vanessa's dark room she waited for Leo and wondered out loud where he was. She heard a noise and called out to Leo. When she got no response she said "Mateo?." Still no response. Then the door opened slightly and a gloved hand reached in, holding a syringe.
Hayley sat in the lobby waiting for Mateo to return. When he finally showed up she asked him "Do I even want to know where you've been?." Mateo said he'd been walking around, thinking. He said Hayley and Lorenzo are his priority and that nothing else matters. They shared a hug but Mat looked over Hayley's shoulder into the distance like he was thinking something completely different.
Leo returned to his mother's room. He found the guard outside her door sound asleep. He woke the man up and sent him for coffee. Then Leo entered Vanessa's room. She was waiting for him behind the door and banged him with it when he walked in. Then she dragged him to the bed, with a cord around his neck. She hissed at him "No more exceptions for family!""
