Erica goes on to say that Greenlee is involved in corporate espionage. She is spying for Revlon. Kendall is excited to be able to lend her assistance. When asked what she can do, Erica explains that Greenlee is trying to get her hands on a R&D file that Revlon would love to have. She asks Kendall to go to her office and get the file from the locked cabinet, then hide it away somewhere safe. Erica reminds Kendall that she is counting on being able to trust her. As Kendall leaves to carry out her mission, she's thinking, "Helllooo Revlon." Erica is thinking, "Au Revoir, Kendall."

Soon everything will be back to normal. Greenlee feels used by Erica. She remembers that Revlon wanted her for the job, now Kendall will have it.

Roger and Simone share a passionate kiss until Simone pulls away saying she can't do this. A smitten Roger tells her one night together was not enough. Simone tells him that night they were together, she was in a bad place. She had just found out about Proteus using her for information and Chris Stamp had been shot. Roger agrees that they were both in a bad place. Simone thinks their relationship has no future because she is not going to sneak around behind Greenlee's back. Simone wavers as Roger pours on the charm. They begin to kiss as Greenlee fumbles for her keys outside the door. When Greenlee enters, Roger and Simone are hard at work with wedding plans. Greenlee rants about Erica, then sits between them saying, "Thank God I have people in my life I can really count on."

Greenlee decides that it is time to put her needs first. She is about to put her own plan in action. After Greenlee and Simone leave, Roger picks up the phone and orders a dozen roses for Simone. When asked for payment, he uses Greenlee's charge card.

When confronted by Hayley, Mia explains that the money is for her sick son. Hayley feels her pain, but tells Mia that she is just protecting her own family. When Hayley asks detailed questions like the type of illness, Mia has no answers. Hayley is immediately suspicious that the only detail Simone does know is the price. Liza and Adam stand up for Mia and claim she is on the level, but Hayley still has doubts. When Hayley asks if the adoptive parents are on the up and up, Mia tells her they have to be. She has to believe her son is with good people. They argue among themselves until Hayley comes up with a solution. She thinks that instead of giving money, Adam should hire a specialist like he did for Lorenzo. Mia is eternally grateful and throws her arms around Adam when he agrees. Hayley is the only one who isn't celebrating, she believes there is something not quite right about Mia.

At SOS, Trey impatiently checks his watch while waiting for Mia to arrive. His phone rings and the caller asks, "Where's my money?" Trey asks for a little more time. Time passes as he paces around wondering what is keeping Mia. The phone rings again. This time, the voice says, "Time's up." Trey frantically tries to explain that his contact is late and he only has half of the money at this point. Trey goes on to say that there is a guy standing in his way, if the caller will take care of that, they will both cash in. To Trey's relief, Mia finally arrives, but not with the cash he was expecting. Instead, Mia is thrilled that Adam is paying for a specialist so they don't need the money after all.

Kendall enters Erica's office and is about to open the safe when Ryan appears at the door. He is pleased that Kendall is helping Erica. He offers his help, but Kendall says no. She has to do this herself. When Ryan leaves, Kendall stares at her mother's portrait remembering every nasty thing Erica has ever done to her. As Kendall leaves, she assures herself that Ryan will understand. Kendall goes straight to the Revlon offices where she is ushered in to an office. Greenlee swivels around in the chair behind the desk. She says to a horrified Kendall, "Too late, honey, it's not our policy here at Revlon to hire trailer trash.""
