"Marian finished tucking Colby into Adam and Liza's bed as Adam walked into the room. She explained that Colby insisted on sleeping in "mommy's and daddy's bed", and asked why Liza was admitted. Adam told her that she collapsed and it was all his fault. He told her that she had another blinding headache, and she's spending the night so they can observe her. He said that Liza is terrified, and Marian told him that he has to continue being there for her. She asked him why he feels it's his fault. He told Marian about David's business dealing with Liza while she was sick, and how he reacted to it. He said his attack on David may have caused Liza to collapse. Marian tried to comfort him, and said he did the right thing. She said that she wants to see Liza, and Adam said that Liza would like that. As she left the room, Marian told him that he probably let David off easy. Later, Adam checked on Colby, and she woke up asking for Liza. Adam comforted her by telling her that Liza's just having a sleep over. They both confessed they missed Liza before Adam tucked her back in.
In her hospital room, Liza told Mia that she knew what she was doing when she fired the CFO of Chandler Enterprises. She confessed to Mia that she fired him because he knew that she was stealing money from the company. When Mia asked her why she was stealing, she said she did it for Colby. She went on to tell Mia that she needs someone to help her handle this. Mia agreed to help her and asked for the short story about the money, so Liza began to explain. She told her that she and Adam were trying to work on their marriage, but it wasn't working. Therefore, she needed to find some way to take care of Colby in the event of a divorce. So, she siphoned off money from Chandler Enterprises. She went on to say that she stockpiled this money in case she and Colby had to leave town suddenly without a trace. When Mia asked about the contract she signed with David, Liza said that that has nothing to do with this. She doesn't even remember the contract. Mia agreed to help her and said she'll do what she wants her to. Liza told her not to get involved if she's just doing out of pity. Mia said that she would do it for Colby, and because she's her sister. Liza told her that she can tell how much she loves Colby, and Mia said that being with her makes giving her own son up for adoption hurt a little less. She knows that he son is better off, though. Liza said that she's sorry that it took her sickness to bring them closer. Marian heard this as she opened the door of her room, and said that she won't let her daughter die. She doesn't want to hear any "doom and gloom." Marian told Liza that she saw Adam and told him that he has to be strong for her. Mia agreed, and told Marian that Liza does know more about what they're looking for now. Liza then said there is a possibility that it's a brain tumor. Because the doctors didn't actually say that, though, they are going to remain positive. Marian begins to tear up as she and Mia decided to let Liza get her rest. Out in the hallway, Marian began crying harder as Mia comforted her. Later, Liza called Adam to check on Colby. She filled him in on her visits with Mia and Marian and said that Marian was worried. When Adam said, "I'm not," she said "Yes, you are. So am I." She confessed that she wants to come home, and she asked Adam to tell her that she would be home soon.
Vanessa continued screaming when she saw the snake and ran into the bathroom. She began screaming and pounding on the door from inside the bathroom until the guard entered her room. When Vanessa told her there's a snake in the bed, the guard pointed to the bed and said that there is no snake. Vanessa said that it's probably on the floor somewhere, and she shut herself back in the bathroom. The guard still didn't believe her, based on the past false alarms, but Vanessa opened the door back up and told her to get rid of the snake. Opal, hearing the screams, entered the room and said the only snake in here is the one she's looking at. Humoring Vanessa, the guard looked under the sheets of the bed, but couldn't find anything. She headed back to her post rather then check the night stand as Vanessa wanted. Sitting on the windowsill, Vanessa told Opal to get out. Opal jokingly said that she could probably tame the snake if he comes back. Vanessa snaps at her, "What do you want?", but Palmer walked up to the doorway before she could answer. Vanessa changed her tone and asks him, "Who are you?" Opal comments that she's changing right before there eyes, and Palmer said that she isn't going to get away with it this time. Palmer told Opal that he wanted to be alone with her, so she left. With Opal listening at the wall, Palmer dropped a stack of bills on Vanessa's bed and said he's not covering for her bills any longer. As Vanessa continued her act, he told her that she was the biggest mistake of his life. As he left her room, Opal caught him in the hallway. Palmer told her that she was right and he was wrong about Vanessa. He then told her to just go away. as he left. Back in her room, Vanessa was lurking around her bed, wrapped in her sheet. She looked behind the bed, and under the covers. Acting very nervous, she finally climbed back into bed. Hearing a rattling sound, she let out a little scream only to see Opal entering her room shaking a baby rattle. With Vanessa stammering in fear, Opal noticed that the snake hadn't bitten yet, but it will. She told her that she deserves a lot more then this, and she'll get it. Opal closed the door of her room, leaving Vanessa stuttering with fear.
Anna told Leo that he gave her no choice but to have him arrested. David is shocked, and asked her why she's going after Leo. She said that Leo's being arrested for tampering with evidence against Vanessa. Greenlee, who was standing in the doorway with Trey, walked up to Leo and asked him what the hell is wrong with him. Greenlee ripped into him for still defending Vanessa after all she did to them. David reacted in shock, and asked him if it was true. Leo said that he could explain and that he isn't helping Vanessa, but Greenlee accused him of just trying to come up with a better story. When Trey walked closer to Greenlee, Leo asked him who he is and why he was eavesdropping. Greenlee said that he's the man she came there with, and Leo asked him where he came from. Trey said the he's a lawyer, Vanessa's lawyer. Leo said that he can't believe she's dating Vanessa's lawyer while yelling at him for what he did. She said that Trey's just doing his job. David and Maggie both asked Leo to explain himself to them, as Anna told Officer Perry she can handle the arrest. She walked up to Leo and told him that he needs to tell David the truth. Leo asked for five minutes alone with him, and he walked out with David. After they left, Greenlee asked Anna what's going on, but Anna brushed her off.
Leo took David into the chapel, and David asked him what the hell's going on. Leo told David that Anna was trying to protect him, but she decided that he has to know the truth. David told him to spit it out. Leo told him that David's father got Vanessa into the drug ring. "Vanessa is Proteus because of your father," he said. David reacted in shock and asked him where he got this from. Leo said it was the truth, but David wouldn't hear it. Leo said he got this from Maggie. He continued filling David in on what Maggie said in the deposition, but David was shaking his head, finding it difficult to believe. He told David how depressed his father was and how Vanessa played off this until he killed himself. Leo said that he never wanted to tell him, because he knew it would kill him, too. David finally came to the realization that is father was a fraud just like Vanessa. Extremely distraught, David said that nothing he believed in is real. David told Leo that this was what Vanessa was holding over his head. This was her trump card. David said that he is grateful for what Leo did. Leo said that it's just the two of them now, and he held out his hand. Rather then shake his hand, David pulled him into an embrace.
Greenlee caught up with Anna in the hallway and asked again what's going on. Anna said that she wants Greenlee to stick around, and hopefully Leo will tell her what he's telling his brother. Greenlee was upset at how elusive Anna was being, but Anna told her that this family needs their compassion and understanding. She went on to tell Greenlee that what Leo did is a wonderful thing, and she shouldn't want to walk out on it. When Anna walked away, Greenlee asked Trey to give her five more minutes. When Trey agreed, Greenlee found Anna again, and Anna told her what Leo did and how she caught him. She told Greenlee that Leo was trying to protect David. She proceeded to tell Greenlee the whole story.
Leaving Greenlee, Trey followed Maggie into her room and asked her about her family. She ignored him, and he reminded her that she might get subpoenaed when the trial starts. Maggie said that she's going to be long gone by then, because Vanessa and her sons are just too much for her. Trey acted surprised that was still planning on leaving town, said that he'll get right to work on the court order. After all, she's his star witness and he doesn't plan on letting her go anywhere. Maggie told him to leave before she pushes the button and accuses him of harassment.
Trey found Greenlee and asked her if she was ready to go, but she said "not yet", as she and Anna headed toward the chapel. They walk into the chapel as David and Leo were hugging. Anna told Leo that she set the record straight with Greenlee, but he responded with an indifferent attitude. She next said to Leo that she has to take him in. David tried to intervene, but Anna said that she can't let him go. David turned to Leo and said that he'll post his bail, then, as Trey entered the chapel. They begin to leave, with Leo telling Greenlee, sarcastically, to enjoy her date. She told him that she hopes it works out, but he ignored her. After they left, Greenlee turned to Trey and said that he has to help him. If he can get Vanessa off, he can get Leo off. She asks him to help Leo, "for me.""
