BROOKE, JAMIE & TAD
Tad arrived after being summoned by Brooke for an emergency. He thought Brooke found out about Jamie's night in jail, and they exchanged some interesting miscommunication. When Brooke realized the confusion, she was only more upset. She explained to Tad that Jamie brought a hooker home last night. Tad was incredulous and upset that Jamie had lied to him, only to bring home a "pro." Tad continued with a fatherly lecture and asked Jamie how they could ever trust him again. He didn't believe Jamie that nothing happened with Holly. Jamie called himself a loser and compared himself unfavorably to JR, who seemed to get away with anything, every time. Tad figured out that Jamie was really upset about Laurie. After Brooke left the room, Tad told Jamie he was not the first man to try to forget a woman by finding another woman. Tad asked if Jamie was able to forget about Laurie when he was with Holly and the answer was no. Tad told him to remember that, for future reference. Jamie wondered if Tad was disappointed in him and Tad said he was only disappointed in himself as a father. Jamie said he didn't go looking for a hooker, it just happened, and the problem was that Laurie was still only interested in JR. Tad reminded Jamie that he is the whole package, with his mother's good looks and his father's je ne sais quoi and if Laurie doesn't realize it, Jamie should move on and stop competing with JR. Jamie still insisted he is a loser and went upstairs to do homework.
Brooke and Tad discussed their son and Tad laughed about Brooke walking in on them. Brooke wondered how their adorable little boy ended up on the couch with a prostitute. Tad guessed it was genetic and Brooke was not amused. They deduced whatever was bothering Jamie was more than just Laurie. Brooke made Tad promise to tell him next time their son is in jail. Tad expressed his concern that Jamie will end up hating his brother.
BOYD, BIANCA, & LENA
Boyd was giving Bianca a sneak peek at his new potion in Erica's office while Lena listened at the door. The new potion doesn't just slow down the aging process, it stops it, Boyd explained. Bianca tried some on her cheek and loved it. He explained that the formula still only exists in his brain, as a top secret project, and he plans to show the product to Erica any day now. Just then, Val offered to help Lena who only asked him to have Erica call her later. Boyd told Bianca that his heart belongs to Kendall, but he won't be used anymore. Neither of them trusted Michael and he hoped that Kendall would find out what Michael is using her for before it's too late.
Bianca and Lena talked in the hallway and Lena leaned over to kiss her on the cheek and commented on the scent. Bianca blurted out that it must be Boyd's magic cream, but that she couldn't say any more. Lena convinced her that the formula should be written down, just in case anything happens to Boyd.
FUSION.
Michael walked into the office, just as Simone and Kendall were fighting about Boyd with Kendall declaring how much she cares for him. Kendall explained the lawsuit to him and how dire the straits at Fusion are over it. He suggested she play her ace, Boyd. Kendall expressed her fear that she's lost her friendship with Boyd. Michael worked hard to convince her that she still had a chance with Boyd, to help save Fusion. He offered to break up with Kendall because Boyd said he won't help her while she is seeing Michael. Michael said he could only do that in order to help Kendall save her company. Kendall would not consider it, because she couldn't see a future without Michael. Just then, Boyd walked in and Michael left. Boyd came to apologize for cutting Kendall off earlier. He told Kendall that he doesn't like Michael, but she can still come to him anytime she's in trouble. Kendall did not want to take advantage of Boyd, but she wanted Boyd to come to work at Fusion to save them. He said he could only do it if he could have her too. She couldn't agree and he said that someday she would need him more than Fusion does.
OPAL & JACKSON.
Opal interrupted Jack's lunch at BJ's to encourage him to get off the dime and go after Erica, before it's too late. Jack said he was trying to respect Erica and give her some space. Opal said they weren't talking about respect, they were talking about love. She warned Jack about waiting too long and letting someone else sweep Erica off her feet. Jack remained confident that there was no one else going to get to Erica before him. Opal wanted to know what kind of hocus pocus he had planned. Jack said he didn't need hocus pocus, because he and Erica have taken their relationship to a new level. Opal was thrilled and encouraged him to seize the day and go to Erica right away to pop the question. Jack wanted to wait until Erica is ready and Opal reminded Jack that Erica will never be ready for commitment. Jack was confident that Erica realizes she can't say no to him again and that their love is strong enough to wait for the right moment.
ERICA & CHRIS
Chris was morosely reading the tabloid stories about his breakup with Erica when she came to the door of his hotel room. Erica tried to explain and apologize, but Chris was not interested in listening to her excuses and lies. He thanked her for acknowledging that she ruined everything. Erica explained that she felt bad for making all of them feel bad and for the way Chris found out, but that only infuriated him. He didn't care about Jack and he didn't think there was a good way for him to find out about her and Jack. Chris congratulated her for being free now and suggested she realize that Jack played her for a fool. Erica continued to beg forgiveness and Chris accused her of only wanting to ease her conscience so she could move on with her life, with Jack. He refused to give them his blessing, but only warned Erica that getting together with Jack would be the biggest mistake of her life. Erica wanted to say something to take away the pain and Chris opined that "goodbye" would be a good start. He told her he has no heart left anymore and she agreed to leave. As she left, a photographer snapped her picture and wondered if this was a reunion. Erica defended Chris' privacy and promised to give the photographer more information from her office. Chris accused Erica of setting it up to let a photographer get a scoop. When they were alone again, Erica thanked him for helping her, protecting her, and letting her choose happiness, even if only for a short time. Chris told her to go to her new beau.
Chris went to the bar and Michael Cambias came in too. Michael discussed Chris's breakup with Erica and wondered if this wasn't the second time he'd been dumped for another guy. Chris punched him.
Erica went back to her office, only to have Jack burst in. Jack said he knew that she needed time and space, but also knew she needed something else even more. And he placed a ring box on her desk, with a huge amethyst ring. Erica's jaw dropped as she looked from the ring to Jack and back again.
LAURIE, JONI, & HOLLY.
Petie was trying to make off with Laurie's tips at BJ's until Opal came to get him.
Joni invited Laurie to go to a student council pizza party, but Laurie didn't want to go because Jamie might be there. Laurie explained that Jamie left last night with a hooker. The girls continued to discuss Jamie and the hooker when Holly (the hooker) walked up. She told the girls that nothing happened and Jamie only wants to do it with someone he loves and that she hoped the girl, whoever she was, deserved him.
