"Over the phone, David explains to Maria that she needs to cut a hole in Edmund's windpipe so he can breathe. Maria is terrified that she won't do it right, and instead of helping Edmund, she may kill him. David calms her down and tells her the procedure step-by-step. At one point, Maria responds using medical terminology, but then slips back into Maureen. Maria holds the knife, but can't bring herself to do it. David shouts at her that she is a doctor, but that doesn't help if she can't remember being one. Finally, Maria takes a deep breath and makes the cut. David instructs her to use the empty barrel from inside a pen to make a breathing tube. At this point, Edmund should be breathing, but he is not. Before Maria can get further instructions, the phone goes dead. She is forced to figure it out on her own.
Maria manages to adjust the pen barrel and Edmund begins to breathe. David calls back and is relieved to hear the news. He announces Edmund's improved condition to the anxious restaurant patrons listening to his end of the conversation. Applause breaks out at the Valley Inn. Maggie brings David a glass of champagne and Anna a glass of something nonalcoholic. Maggie tells David how proud she is of him and Anna congratulates him as well. For once in his life, David is humble and gives all the credit to Maria. David and Anna toss compliments back and forth until Maggie realizes that they are back together again.
David and Anna rush to the hospital to check on Edmund. David runs into Jake and apologizes for being there after he has been fired from the hospital, but he has to know how Edmund is doing. Jake heard about how David helped Maria and comments that Maria had a terrific coach. The paramedics bring Edmund into the emergency room and Maria runs into David's arm and begins to babble about how grateful she is. David tells her that he can't take all the credit. He tells Maria that she must have remembered. Maria, suddenly serious, looks David straight in the eye and says, "Yes, I DID remember."
Greenlee holds a gun on Donald Steel while he begs for his life. When she asks Donald to give her one good reason why she should spare his life, he has to search for an appropriate answer. Everything he says only serves to convince Greenlee that he is a good for nothing low life who does nothing but make people miserable. She demands that Donald empty his pockets. When he does, some papers fall to the floor. Greenlee picks them up and realizes he had stolen letters that Leo had once written her. This confirms her opinion that Donald Steel deserves to die. Trey walks into the apartment and startles Greenlee. When she turns around, the gun accidentally goes off. The bullet misses Donald.
Trey has no sympathy for the intruder either. He tells Greenlee that the only reason she shouldn't shoot him is because blood will get on the carpet and she will probably be arrested and convicted. Steel isn't worth it. Trey secretly pushes the record button on the telephone answering machine then makes a deal with Donald. He tells Donald that if he drops the lawsuit he has against Greenlee, Greenlee won't have him arrested for breaking and entering. Trey gets Donald to admit that the lawsuit was frivolous anyway and there wasn't any truth in it Donald also admits to breaking into the apartment. When Donald finally shuts up, Trey triumphantly reveals what he has done. He tells Donald that if he ever bothers Greenlee again, Trey will use the tape against him. Donald slinks out the door.
