"DAVID HELD HOSTAGE:
It looked like this was one situation that David could not squiggle out of. Completely tied up in ropes, Aidan waved the serum in front of David's arm and threatened to inject him with it. He told David that he now had the 'X-17', the same drug used to erase Maria's memory. Aidan gleefully predicted that now David would lose his memory, and suggested a new identity for David: "Dan Harris, the exterminator." David begged Aidan to stop. Without me, Maria will never get her memory back, David pleaded.

Then David turned the tables on Aidan. He accused Aidan of secretly hoping that Maria never regained her memory. That way, she'd never remember her love for Edmund. This accusation seemed to strike a nerve with Aidan. Aidan angrily raised the needle, but just then Maria ran in. At first she tried to stop Aidan. But when she discovered that Aidan had found the 'X-17', she abruptly changed her mind. She took the needle and decided that she would do the honors of hurting David.

Panic stricken, David reminded Maria how he had saved her life. He told her how injecting her with the drug had been extremely difficult. But Maria was feeling no mercy: "That's where you and I differ... To me, it just seems so easy." Aidan pinned David down as Maria raised the needle. But then, she stopped. She realized that injecting David would be like becoming David. She instructed Aidan to untie David. But David, concerned that Aidan would take the drug to authorities, made a grab for the serum. A big brawl ensued. Clutching the vial, Aidan slammed David's head against the wall. Then David choked Aidan with the rope. Aidan tossed the vial to Maria and managed to break free. But before the two could escape, David grabbed for the gun. He pointed the gun at both of them.

GREENLEE & TREY
Greenlee met Trey to find out the status on obtaining that factory. Trey claimed the factory sale looked promising, and that soon her dream of running a cosmetics empire would become a reality. Trey tried to hide the fact that the female was none other than Kendall. But not well enough. Greenlee quickly figured out that Kendall was the one, and that Kendall knew about the factory. Greenlee jumped out of her seat. "You idiot", she yelled at Trey, and ran out of the restaurant.

KENDALL MAKES A DEAL
In the meantime, Kendall was sweet-talking Palmer. She explained that she was a cosmetics genius in the making. "I want to be a somebody" and proposed that Palmer sell her his building so she could prove it. Moments later, Greenlee appeared, out of breath. She explained to Palmer that she too would like to purchase his building. But Greenlee was too late. Palmer had already made a deal with Kendall.

An appalled Greenlee told Palmer that Kendall was a broke loser. But Palmer wasn't listening. He had already signed a contract (on a cocktail napkin), which leased the building to Kendall for a couple of dollars per year. Greenlee openly mocked the thought of Kendall making a profit and the 2 women began trading insults. Palmer suggested to the two women, that while he thoroughly enjoyed watching their slugfest, they should consider working together. "... With that backstabbing, manipulative hustler? I'd rather stick my finger in a light socket." Greenlee declared. But with Palmer's and Trey's encouragement, Greenlee calmed down, and reluctantly agreed to work with Kendall. But only if she got the corner office.

LIZA & MIA:
In the hospital, Liza was admitting to Tad that she did indeed push Mia, when Mia walked into the room. Naturally, Mia overheard what Liza had said and became visibly upset. Mia tearfully asked Liza if it was true. Liza tried to explain that Mia's fall was an accident - that she had tripped over her dress. But Jake wasn't buying it. Jake suddenly recalled how Liza had recently suspected Mia was having an affair with Adam. "My God Liza, you were trying to kill your won sister" he exclaimed.

Liza confessed that Mia's frequent secret meetings with Adam made her mighty suspicious. But she insisted that murder was not her intention that night in the attic. Mia stared listlessly at Liza, while Jake was openly unforgiving. He warned Liza that detectives were asking questions about the incident. A depressed Mia went back to her room. Back in her hospital bed, Mia cried that all she ever wanted was to feel like she belonged. She thought Liza had loved her, but now felt everything was different. Jake assured Mia that he was going to "take care of this" and left the room.

In the meantime, Tad renewed his efforts to calm down Liza. But then, Liza suggested that maybe, just maybe, pushing Mia was subconsciously what she wanted. At that very moment, Jake walked in. He angrily instructed Liza to stay away from Mia. A few minutes later, police officers entered. They announced that they were there to arrest Liza for attempted murder and handcuffed her."
