"In Greenlee's office Trey and Leo attacked each other. Trey knocked Leo to the ground and put him in a head lock. They argued and screamed at each other and neither noticed that Greenlee ran out of the room. When Leo got free he called to Greenlee for her to leave with him and then realized she wasn't there. Trey asked the stenographer where Greenlee was and she said she'd left when they started fighting. The two men started arguing again and Trey blamed Leo for all of Greenlee's problems. Leo asked if Trey was there to "make nice" to Greenlee and was told that he was taking Greenlee's deposition. Leo said that was what upset Greenlee but Trey said no, she had been calm until Leo arrived. "You're just like your mother! You sent Greenlee's world crashing!" Trey yelled at Leo. Dejected, Leo sat down and said Trey was right, that he was reminding Greenlee of his mother. Trey told Leo to stay away from Greenlee but Leo said that wasn't enough. He decided to leave town for good. Trey said that was a bad idea, much to Leo's astonishment. But Leo insisted that he should leave town, that "this town doesn't agree with me." Trey worried about how that would effect Greenlee and Leo said it was the best thing for her. Trey said Greenlee still needed him which confused Leo. Trey continued, saying Greenlee hadn't let go yet and she has some unfinished business with him. Leo disagreed as his cell phone rang. It was Bianca, wanting to know how it went with Greenlee. Leo said it didn't go well and asked to meet his friend. Bianca said she was at the Valley Inn and he said he'd be there. He also told her to find a new place to stay because he's leaving town. Leo said he'd explain when he got to the Inn and hung up. He turned to Trey and told him to say goodbye to Greenlee for him and then left. Trey said "You're not going any where", then got on his cell phone. He called someone and told them he'd heard that Leo was leaving town. He told this person to check out Leo's Valley Inn safe before he left and hung up, very pleased with himself.

Meanwhile Leo met with Bianca in the Valley Inn dining room. He told her all about the fight with Trey and Greenlee running out. Bianca wasn't sure he should relocate but Leo insisted that he was making things too hard on Greenlee by living in the same town. Bianca felt bad that she had talked him into going to Greenlee but Leo said he was the one that messed up, not her. Bianca tried to comfort Leo when he said he just wasn't good for Greenlee anymore, "I just keep hurting her." Bianca said it was incredibly sad that two people who love each other have such a hard time keeping it together. An Inn employee came up to their table and Leo asked if they'd gotten his things out of the safe yet. He said they'd need a few more minutes and walked away. Bianca asked where Leo was going when two policemen showed up. They announced that Leo's possessions from the safe were being confiscated. A shocked Bianca asked what he had in the safe and Leo said it was just money to "escape this dump." A cop told him to cancel that plan.

At the hospital Palmer loudly ordered Jake to sign a proposal for early retirement that had been on his desk for several weeks. This infuriated Jake, who believed Palmer was trying to force Joe Martin out of the hospital. Their raised voices brought Joe over who told Jake to settle down. Palmer told Joe that Jake was dragging his feet on the proposal. Jake said he'd take care of it at his own pace. Joe left the two men after reminding Jake there were employees around watching. Mia had been standing to the side and decided to try to get Jake to walk away with her but he just yelled at her too. She grabbed his arm and led him to Liza's vacant room. He wondered why they were there and she told him he needed "water therapy" and told him to get undressed. Surprised, Jake wondered if Mia was making a move on him. She told him he needed a serious time out. Jake complained about Palmer pushing for early retirement. Mia said Jake was overworked and Jake agreed. He said he was stressed to the max. Mia sat him down in a chair and began massaging his shoulders. She wondered if he'd always been so serious, even as a child. Jake told her about how he used to play with toy soldiers, but he was the one bandaging them up after battles. After talking a bit he thanked Mia for being there for him. Mia suggested that he take a shower and start his day over. Jake asked why she was coming to his rescue and she replied that she likes to turn the table sometimes. Jake joked about the two of them being alone in a private room and told her that she takes good care of him. When he got out of the shower he was wrapped only in a small towel. Mia looked at him appreciatively. She told him he looked much less stressed and he said he felt much better. He asked if she'd like to get a sandwich but she turned him down, saying she needed to get back to Liza.

In Brooke's home Tad was waiting for Jamie to return from school. When he arrived he wouldn't speak to his father and kept his hand over his mouth. Finally Tad got him to move his hand and saw that Jamie had a bloody lip. Jamie handed him a note from school, which explained that he had been in a fight. Jamie tried to run off but Tad stopped him. Brooke walked in and cried "Don't you think you've done enough damage?!." The three of them sat down and Brooke said the school had called her about the fight. She said she made an appointment to see an associate of Dr. McMillian's right away. Tad got upset that they weren't seeing Dr. McMillian and didn't see why they couldn't wait for him. Brooke sent Jamie outside and then argued with Tad over the seriousness of the situation. Brooke blamed Tad for Jamie getting into a fight, saying he'd forced his son back to school too soon. Tad got very angry and asked if Brooke was accusing him of bullying Jamie. Brooke said there were other ways to deal with this problem and that they need help. Finally Tad agreed to go see the psychologist and they left with Jamie. At hospital Tad and Brooke talked with Dr. Cohen while Jamie was being evaluated. They argued fiercely in front of the doctor, who told them to get on the same page regarding their son. She left and Tad and Brooke continued fighting. Tad said Brooke didn't consider Jamie's feelings when she got engaged to Edmund. Brooke said this had nothing to do with her engagement, it was about Tad's obsession with Dixie. She said he's been so preoccupied with finding Dixie that he's ignored Jamie. Brooke claimed that she and Edmund were keeping Jamie involved in the wedding plans. Tad went off about Edmund bringing Jamie to the hospital when Vanessa attacked him and started this whole mess. They kept yelling at each other and finally Brooke said they have to stop this for Jamie's sake. They found Jamie and went back home. Jamie went straight to his room. Brooke told Tad they needed to compromise on how best to help their son. But Tad got very angry and told Brooke it was all her fault and that she's done Jamie irreparable harm by her lousy taste in men. He listed all her poor choices and kept yelling at her. Edmund walked in and ordered Tad out immediately.

Carrying a load of wash, Simone stepped into the elevator and found a very shaken Greenlee. Greenlee said she'd seen Leo and described the fight between Leo and Trey. She said the whole thing reminded her of Vanessa so she ran out. Simone said she was going to Leo and let him have it but Greenlee told her not to bother. She wondered how she got to this place in her life and Simone sympathized with her. Greenlee thought things would be better when she pushed away both Jake and Leo. Simone said yes, but that she's got to push away her feelings too. Greenlee asked how she was supposed to get over Leo when he acted like he loved her. Simone said he does love her and Greenlee wondered why he was acting so stupid then. Simone said it was clear that Greenlee and Leo have "crazy love." Greenlee said it wasn't working between them though. Simone asked how it was between her and Jake. Greenlee didn't answer and Simone said the only person that she's tormented by is Leo. She wondered if Greenlee had ever really loved Jake. Greenlee said he was a great friend and lover. Simone said "I've got my answer!." Greenlee said she was going to clean up this mess, starting with Jake. Simone told her to let her know how it goes and went into her apartment. Greenlee left for the hospital.

When Greenlee arrived at the hospital she stopped a nurse and asked if he knew where Jake Martin was. The nurse said he'd seen Jake go down the hallway and into that room with a physical therapist trainee. Greenlee took off down the hall and found the room the nurse had pointed out. As she started in the door, Mia walked out and Greenlee could see Jake in nothing but a towel behind her. Greenlee jumped to conclusions."
