"Mia and Hayley ran into the living room to investigate Liza's scream. When Hayley asked her why she screamed, Mia told her to lay off and quit badgering her. Mia led Liza to the couch as Adam entered the room to investigate. Liza explained that she just overreacted because she thought she saw a mouse. Hayley replied that it "could be a rat," as she looked at Mia. Mia offered to make some tea for Liza, and Hayley volunteered to help her. Hayley tried to follow her to the kitchen, but was sidetracked when Mateo and J.R. returned. They weren't talking, though, as Adam caught up with Hayley in the foyer. He asked her why she was still skeptical, and she responded that Liza is keeping something from them, and Mia is helping her. She reminded him about the baby that Liza miscarried and said that she could be having flashbacks about her fall down the stairs, which is why she screamed. Adam discounted it though, as Mia returned with the tea. Adam took the tea and left Mia and Hayley alone. Mia told her that she would answer Hayley's questions in private, so they left to talk. When Mateo and J.R. left Adam and Liza alone in the living room, he asked her if there was something other then a mouse that they should worry about, but she assured him that it was just a mouse.

Frankie broke away from Trey's embrace and asked him who his next victim is. She told him that his pricy suit doesn't hide the fact that he's still a lowlife ambulance chaser. While he defended himself, she accused him of looking for a new lawsuit and asked him what the fire at Erica's will cost. He responded in surprise, "Fire?"

They finished reading Kendall her rights and cuffed her, while she remained speechless. Erica began ripping into Kendall again until Ryan told her to leave her alone. Erica tried to explain that Kendall tried to kill them, but he remained quiet as they led Kendall away. Erica turned to Bianca to apologize for the evil that Kendall was responsible for, but Ryan interrupted her and told her to quit it. He proceeded to defend Kendall, and told Erica that there's no proof that Kendall was responsible. Erica told him that Kendall confessed after he went into the house to save Chris. Ryan shook his head and walked away. Chris told Erica that he booked some rooms at the Valley Inn, and they prepared to leave. Erica checked on Bianca, and Bianca told her that she was going to stay with Jack, so Erica and Chris left. Maggie approached Bianca and tried again to apologize, but Bianca wasn't listening as she left with her uncle.

Outside Chandler Mansion, Mia offered to explain to Hayley why Trey referred to her "scam." Mia told her that she has a past with Trey, and now she's having more personal problems with him, problems she can handle. She said that Trey accused her of scamming the Chandlers because it's probably what he would have done. Mia asked Hayley to trust her, because she showed up at Adam's doorstep at one time and was let in to the family. Hayley didn't respond to Mia's request to trust her, but instead told her she should stay away from Trey.

In the park, Jackson tried to console Bianca about the fire, but she told him that she was sorry for Uncle Jack and the way he looked when he saw Erica and Chris leave. Jackson tried to sidestep it, but she asked him if he will ever get over her. He told her he may never get over Erica, but it isn't Chris that's keeping them apart. He told her that being with him cost Erica custody of Bianca. She told him that Erica can't forgive him, because that would mean she'd have to forgive herself. He switched subjects to the box that Bianca was holding, and she told him she was worried about opening it, because the fire was hot and may have destroyed what was inside. She finally opened it and found that everything had survived: the book of sonnets and a letter from Frankie. Bianca began to cry as Jack comforted her. She told him that Frankie is the one that taught her everything, and she misses her. Jack embraced his niece as they left the park.

Chris led Erica into her room, and she told him how she appreciates all he's done for her. He told her that they can discuss it later, after a nice, hot bath. Later, while sitting in her tub, Chris brought Erica a bottle of sparkling cider to celebrate. He pulled out a package that he had planned to give her on the cruise and told her that he'll let her decide when he gives it to her, but it won't be now. They then toasted to their loved ones, life, and new beginnings. Later, Chris turned down Erica's bed and told her that his bed was waiting next door. Before he left, they kissed next to the bed and Chris told her to whistle if she needs anything. As he walked to the door, she whistled. She told him that he's an FBI agent, and asked him if there's anyone in the room he'd like to investigate. She took off her robe, as Chris replied, "Yes, there is," and walked toward her.

Kendall lay on the cot in her cell when Ryan arrived. He told her that they found her silver-plated lighter at Erica's. She reacted in shock that he thought she did it. She asked him to leave, when Ryan told her that he didn't think she did it. He told her that he doesn't care about the evidence, and he doesn't believe she's capable of hurting someone. She told him that that's called "faith", and he responded, "Yeah, faith." Kendall couldn't believe that Ryan had faith in her, but the guard came to tell them time's up before Ryan could say more. Before he left, however, Kendall asked him if he loved her like she loves him. He responded that he doesn't want to, but....

When Adam took a phone call, he left Liza and Adam alone in the living room. Liza confided in Mia that her vision got distorted when she was walking down the stairs and she almost fell. She told her that she feels that the tumor's coming back. Mia offered to take her to the doctor tomorrow morning, without Adam. Adam walked back in, and Liza told him that everything's fine as she went to bed. With Liza out of the room, Adam told Mia that Liza's never leaned on anyone before like she leans on Mia.

Trey approached Maggie after Bianca left and offered to help her. Maggie ripped into him at first, and told him to leave her alone, but he wouldn't leave. Finally, she told him about Bianca's pass on her and that she misses Frankie. She continued feeling sorry about the fact that she never really knew her sister, and Trey tried to snap her out of it by asking her to go out with him. When she said no, he moved to leave, but she stopped him. She noticed a cut on his arm and told him that a doctor needs to see him first, because it could become infected. Later, a doctor asked him what happened, and Trey told him that he fell off a retainer wall. The doctor told him that it explains the abrasions, "but what that doesn't explain is the burn.""
