"Leo, Greenlee, Kendall and Trey sat in the loft trying to decipher the 12 digit code Nessa had given them. They figured out it wasn't a bank account number but couldn't get any further. Trey suggested that Leo take his wife out to dinner while he and Kendall kept working on the code. Greenlee refused, saying they couldn't let Trey do everything since they were all partners in this. Leo said they needed to get into Vanessa's twisted mindset and then had an idea. He sat down at the computer with Greenlee as Kendall and Trey talked across the room. Kendall said it was a total waste, having to give all that money back. Trey wondered what she was getting at and Kendall said she could help Trey keep the money. He said if they don't give the money back Leo would go to jail. Kendall said they could skim some money off the top and no one would ever know and told him to think of it as their "finder's fee." Trey refused as Leo let out a yelp "I've got it!!!." They all rushed to his side as he explained that Vanessa always used map coordinates to figure out escape plans. The numbers Nessa had written down were actually longitude and latitude numbers and they pointed to a spot in the Pine Valley State Park. Leo grabbed the map and rushed out the door. Trey went to get a shovel and Kendall and Greenlee talked about him. Kendall told Greenlee that she tried to get Trey to skim some money but he turned her down. Greenlee said they have to prove he's trying to scam Leo. They yelled to him to come on and they all headed out the door. Once at the park they began digging holes searching for the hidden millions. As they argued about where it could be Trey wondered if someone helped Vanessa hide the money. Greenlee slapped Kendall, claiming there was a mosquito on her. Kendall slapped her right back, claiming the same. The fight started to escalate but Leo broke it up quickly. Trey told Kendall to go to the car and get the insect repellant. Greenlee wouldn't let her go alone so they both went. Leo kept digging until he hit something metal. He whooped with joy and got on his knees to pull it out of the ground. Trey stood behind him holding a shovel over his head. Leo sang the French national song as he pulled the box out of the ground. He told Trey to help him get the box open and said they were truly brothers now. Trey was touched and sat next to Leo. Kendall and Greenlee returned and were thrilled to see the box. Leo popped the box open and was stunned. It wasn't cash as they had expected. It was full of stock certificates. Greenlee was excited but Leo looked closer at the stocks and announced they were for a company who'd gone bankrupt last week. Trey said Vanessa was brilliant, that this was why the electronic paper trailed had stopped. Greenlee said she wasn't so brilliant since now they weren't worth the paper they were printed on. Leo began laughing while the others looked at him like he was nuts. He explained that Vanessa had tried so hard to keep them away from this and now it was worthless. He said that the millions Vanessa made on drugs was now lost on corporate crooks who were going to jail too! He laughed more as he threw the papers up in the air. They all began laughing and throwing the stocks around. Finally Greenlee stopped and said Nessa and Vanessa were the same person and that she'd played them for fools. Leo said no, that Nessa had actually come through for them. They began to pick up the certificates and Greenlee picked up the map with the 12 numbers on it. When they had picked up all the paper they headed for the car. But Greenlee stopped and claimed she had dropped her cell phone. She said she'd find it and meet them. The others walked away and Greenlee pulled out her cell phone. She looked at the coordinates on the paper then dialed Nessa. Nessa answered and Greenlee snarled "You think you won??" Nessa asked if they found the money. Greenlee said it was all worthless and that Nessa was still a "3 faced warped killer." Greenlee went on to say that she and Leo were still going to Paris and that Nessa would never see Leo again. Greenlee hung up the phone. Nessa walked around her room and said out loud "You'll never take my son away you spoiled little tramp! Not while I'm in charge!."
Brooke went in the Valley Inn bar, looking for Edmund. She asked the bartender if he'd seen him but Edmund hadn't been in that day. Erica overhead this exchange and walked up to Brooke. She asked Brooke if the rumors were true, had she really known Maria was alive but didn't tell anyone. Brooke admitted it was true. Erica told Brooke not to chase after Edmund telling her not to "troll bars" looking for him. Brooke told Erica she had a legitimate reason to find Edmund but Erica didn't believe her. Brooke reminded her of how she had tried to keep Maria's daughter away from her. Erica sniped at Brooke and walked away. Aidan arrived and sat at the bar near Brooke. Brooke introduced herself and told him she wanted to talk about Maria. Aidan said he had nothing to say. Brooke says she wants to make things right for Maria and told Aidan what it was like when Maria and Edmund first fell in love. He wondered why she tried to keep them apart and Brooke admitted that she had been wrong and wants to make it right now. Aidan told Brooke she should stay out of Maureen and Edmund's lives and Brooke told him he should do the same. Aidan said that Maureen wants her own life, not to be forced into a life she can't remember. Brooke told him that Maria needed to get back to the life she and Edmund deserve. Aidan's phone rang and he answered it.
In the mausoleum Anna begged Maria to make a statement against David. David told Maria they didn't have a case against him and she said she won't put David in prison. Edmund told Maria that David doesn't care about her or what he did. Maria said the bottom line was that David had saved her life. Anna reminded Maria of all the bad things David did to her but Maria said he fought to save her life and she wouldn't punish him. Edmund, Jackson and Anna all tried to argue with Maria as David stood by with a very smug look on his face. Jackson told Maria they would still press charges against David and call her as a hostile witness. Then she would have to admit that David gave her untested drugs. Maria said she would tell the jury she didn't remember what David did. Anna tried to talk sense into Maria but she got upset and Edmund took her outside. Jack looked at David and told him it wasn't over. Edmund told Maria that David is long overdue for a prison term. She again refused to help put him away. Edmund got a little aggravated and said he couldn't believe that was Maria talking. Maureen got angry and said she wasn't Maria. Edmund told her how David came to many of the Crystal Balls that were in her honor, knowing that she was alive. He begged her not to let David get away with it. Maureen told Edmund she may never remember her past life and that maybe David was right, maybe keeping her away from Pine Valley did them all a favor. Edmund was a little taken back by that but promised her that it will be worth the pain to get her life back. She told him he was being like David, trying to control her life. Edmund apologized and said he'd do whatever she wanted. She said she wanted to get away and that she needed a friend right now. He offered to take her to the Valley Inn but she refused. She told him to call Aidan. Edmund reluctantly called Aidan and told him Maureen wanted to see him. He told Aidan they were at the mausoleum and hung up. Aidan told Brooke where he was going and she followed him. Maureen and Edmund returned to the mausoleum and she told everyone she was standing by her decision. Aidan arrived and she told him what was happening. He started to usher her outside but stopped to tell David to stay away from her. They left Wildwind and Anna asked Edmund if he was ok. Edmund said he needed time alone so Anna, Jack and David stepped outside. David asked Anna "If Maria can forgive me, why can't you?" Jack led Anna away as David just stood there. Inside the mausoleum Edmund let his frustrations out on the vases of flowers and Maria's plaque on the wall. Brooke walked in and watched for a moment. He saw her and ran out the door without saying anything to her.
Erica arrived at the construction area and found Chris. He was extremely snappy with her and told her they should "forget the whole thing" because she's just playing games with him. He reminded her that she was supposed to come back to the restaurant in 20 minutes and it had now been over 29 hours. She claimed that she had a business emergency that took her out of town but Chris didn't believe her. He believed that she was trying to punish him for going back to work for the FBI. They argued and Chris finally said their conversation was going no where. He said "I found him" to Erica who pretended she didn't know what he was talking about. Chris told her he'd found her father and handed her the man's phone number. Erica flipped out and said she never told him to find Eric Kane, she had wanted to think about it. Chris said he was just trying to help her. Erica ranted about her father was the one who walked out and he should make the first move. Val interrupted them and handed Erica a large vase of red roses. She immediately thought they were from Chris but he denied this. She read the card and said they were from her father. Chris wondered why he'd send Erica flowers. She thought it was because Chris's men had tipped him off that she was looking for him. Chris read the card and said there was no name, how did she know it was her father who sent them. Erica said it was just like him, a big display with no meaning. She yelled at Chris "Stay out of it, it's my problem, not yours!" and ran out."
