"At the Valley Inn, Brooke and Edmund talk to the maitre d', Robert, about the surprise engagement party being held that evening. Robert is confused why it is a surprise party when they know about it. Brooke humors him and said no one else knows they know. Tad entered the dinning room to tell Brooke and Edmund that Jamie decided to attend the party instead of going to the baseball game. Brooke excused herself to talk with Robert about another surprise she has planned. Tad, alone with Edmund, began to vent his frustration to him about how Tempo printed an article interview with Jamie about Vanessa without Tad's permission. Edmund tried to explain his position but Tad would not let him get a word in. Hearing the argument between Tad and Edmund, Brooke interceded to tell Tad Jamie needed to talk to someone about his fears concerning Vanessa. Tad justified his anger saying Jamie is scared now that Vanessa is missing.

Brooke took Tad aside and asked him what was really bothering him. With a heavy sigh Tad related the past days' events involving Liza's surgery, Dixie leaving town and he being fired by Chandler Enterprises' board of directors, prompted by Adam. Brooke was surprised to hear he had lost his job. Tad believed Adam is blaming him for Liza's failed health. Then Tad finally admitted the real reason for his argument with Edmund. Tad is afraid Edmund is coming between him and Jamie. Brooke did her best to reassure Tad he is the best father Jamie ever had. She asked Tad to come to her engagement party with Jamie and he finally agreed.

Leo visited Greenlee in her condo. The purpose of his visit, he said, was that he was concerned about her safety now that Vanessa is missing. Leo recounted the events that happened before her escape including his taping of Vanessa's confession she is faking her split personality. He showed Greenlee the bruises caused by Vanessa's attempt to strangle him. Leo didn't understand how Vanessa could have escaped because she was restrained to her hospital bed. He also commented her behavior was really bizarre and that he didn't believe she was faking this time.

Leo confided to Greenlee that Vanessa told him she had money stashed away. Greenlee and Leo told each other that they really cared about one another and held each other's hand. Suddenly the spell was broken, changing her mood, Greenlee pulled away from Leo. She declared she could take care of herself without his help. Leo told Greenlee to date Jake because he is safe. Greenlee and Leo argued again as they have done before. Leo stormed out of the condo, slamming the door. Instantly there is a knock on the door. When Greenlee opened the door, Leo stuck his head inside her condo and warned her again to be careful. She quickly shuts the door and calls someone on her cell phone. "Do your best GQ thing. You're going to be a lucky man tonight," She said.

Trey showed up at Greenlee's door as summoned. She pulled him inside quickly saying he will protect her. They are going to the Valley Inn for a party.

Hayley asks Mateo if he fired the gun which was found in his pocket. She asked him if he killed Vanessa. Mateo doesn't answer right away. Hayley told Mateo he is shutting her out and she doesn't want that. Hayley kept pressing Mateo to give up making Vanessa pay for hurting their family and if he wouldn't stop she would call Jackson Montgomery and have Mateo arrested for his protection. Mateo couldn't find Vanessa to kill her so he promised he would put his gun away. He told Hayley he was worried about her safety as well as their son, Lorenzo, now that Vanessa was missing. Hayley pleaded with Mateo to get their lives back they way they were. Mateo comforted Hayley in his arms and promised to end his vendetta with Vanessa. They decided to go to Booke's engagement party even though Mateo was concerned Vanessa might show up there.

David and Jack argued in Vanessa's now empty hospital room. Jack cautioned David that whatever he says will be on the record. David told Jack he wanted Vanessa locked up as much as Jack did. Jack asked David if he knew where the missing money is. The money in the offshore account was chump change. David denied knowing anything about Vanessa's money. Jack took the syringe from David's hand which David found in Vanessa's room. It contained the psychotropic drug that caused Vanessa to go berserk. Jack wondered if Vanessa could have injected herself. David said no, it was not possible. Someone had to help her.

Leo and David paced in the hallway at the Valley Inn until they saw Palmer approaching the dining room. They told him about Vanessa's disappearance and asked him if he knew where the money is. Palmer denied all knowledge about the missing drug money and Vanessa's whereabouts. He walked away to join the surprise party.

Leo saw Greenlee and her date, Trey, enter the hallway. He commented about Greenlee's choice in dates as he despised Trey for getting Vanessa her freedom and not a jail sentence. He stopped Greenlee before she could enter the dining room for the party and began to argue once more. Greenlee pulled away from him and ran to the ladies room to repair her mascara.

As the guests began to arrive at the Valley Inn for the engagement party Brooke talked to the singer, Melissa Daar, and asked her to sing a special song. She agreed and went to talk to the pianist about the music. Everyone took their places ready to surprise Edmund when he entered the dining room. Edmund pretended to be surprised and the party began.

Stuart called Hayley on her cell phone to tell her Enzo had an earache. She decided to go home and told Mateo to stay at the party.

The lights in the dining room dimmed. A spotlight focused on the singer whose back was to the guests. As she turned around, she said she hoped they would enjoy the show. The guests gasped as the singer was Vanessa. She held a knife to terrified Greenlee's throat as David and Leo rushed into the room."
