"JACKSON & CHRIS
At the community center, Aidan and Jack discussed Chris and the tape Aidan had made where Chris talked to a hit man (Flanders). Jack talked to the FBI, who think Chris is playing them for suckers as well. Jack then noticed that someone had come in and was listening from an adjoining room. He signaled to Aidan and they continued to discuss Chris and the threat on Jack's life. Jack further explained that the FBI was not interested in his opinion, as a small town DA. Afterwards, Jack asked Aidan to keep that tape safe for later use as evidence. Aidan was disappointed that Chris is not who he thought he was. He discussed his relationship with Maureen and admitted his fears that once she returns to medicine, her whole memory could come back. Jack didn't believe Aidan when he said he would support Maria in any way he could, if she returned. He was hopeful that she would stay with him even if her memory returns. Meanwhile, Aidan promised to look out for Erica and keep Chris and Flanders away.
Aidan left, and Flanders watched Jack dial the phone.
LENA, MICHAEL & BIANCA
At Michael's place, Michael was pouring champagne to celebrate and Lena thought it was premature; they still didn't have the formula. Michael admitted he's still trying to get Kendall to get it from Boyd and Lena admitted she's still playing Bianca to get it, since she failed with Boyd. They agreed it would be easier if Boyd had written down the formula. Michael was confident Kendall would do whatever, or whoever, he wants because she is wonderfully vulnerable and ruled by her heart strings. His plan was to get Kendall upset enough about their relationship to get the formula from Boyd. Next, he called Kendall and announced serious trouble in their relationship. Kendall came running over. Michael told her he wants to stay in Pine Valley and build a future with her, but if they don't get Boyd to come to Fusion with his new formula, they don't have a future. At all. Kendall demanded an explanation. Michael said although he has the funds to pay off the lawsuit, he needs to impress his father or he'll be cut off with absolutely nothing. Furthermore, he needs to prove his worth to his father to gain his independence. If he gets the formula, they could market it through Fusion and they would both be winners. Kendall refused to ask Boyd to betray his contract and Michael said that's it then, they are over. Kendall was dumbfounded, and Michael backed off, saying his father just makes him crazy and yet, he still wants his approval, and to have a future with Kendall without a manipulative old man in the background. Then Michael played his trump card and claimed his father is dying and if only he had the formula, he could get his approval before the end. Kendall said if it was written down, she would steal it in a heartbeat. He then reminded Kendall that Boyd is in love with her. Kendall asked if Michael wanted her to sleep with Boyd to get the formula.
Meanwhile, Bianca was dressed in a lowcut halter top for her date with Lena. Myrtle was impressed and so was Boyd, who told her it was wasted on Lena. Boyd continued to express his apprehensions about Lena and how things just don't seem right. Bianca refused to let him rain on her parade and night of fun with Lena, she was positively effusive with excitement. Myrtle looked on anxiously during their discussion. Lena entered and declared Bianca "breathtaking." She bought a new dress for the evening herself. Bianca suddenly remembered she had to make a phone call to Hong Kong and they went upstairs to her room. Myrtle grilled Boyd and asked him to give it to her straight, no pun intended. He told Myrtle that Lena seems to be playing both sides of the street and she was furious about the games Lena seems to be playing. Boyd urged caution and reminded Myrtle of the need to treat Bianca like an adult and not push her further into Lena's arms.
As Bianca and Lena left for open mike night at SOS, Myrtle said she felt like kicking up her heels. She invited herself and her friend Clara Lee to double with them. She even promised that she and Clara Lee would wow the crowd and do an act at SOS. And if Clara didn't make it, the three of them could do a trio act! As they walked out the door, Myrtle promised Boyd Lena would NOT vamp Bianca with her around.
FUSION
Liza, Mia, Greenlee, Simone, and Kendall were all the office, lamenting the lawsuit and going to court. Greenlee wanted to order food and she remained optimistic about their future. Kenny came in, bubbly but not optimistic, and told the gals that he can no longer work for them pro bono. Nor does he have any free time to help them them that way. Liza stepped up to pay the retainer to keep him on the job. The other gals were very grateful and Greenlee couldn't resist digging at Kendall, once again gone to see Michael during a business crisis. Liza told them that she is very proud to be part of Fusion and wants it to succeed. She called the others "inspiring" and wants to set an example for Colby, and all of the other future daughters. Liza also put up the money to make a substantial payoff offer for the lawsuit. Greenlee tried to call Kendall to get her input, but she didn't answer her phone. Gertrude Stark, the plaintiff, refused the offer and said all the money in the world wouldn't be enough. The Fusion gals were stumped.
MAUREEN
She went to see David at home and brought her latest medical test results. She wanted to know if she is any closer to regaining her memory. David explained that it does not work that way and besides, he can't tell by the tests. Maureen told him about how stressful it has become, to worry about what happens if she regains her memory as Maria, and what would happen to Aidan. David said he would be right where Edmund is now. Maureen was distraught and expressed her frustrations at feeling like she's hurting everyone by not remembering, and being teased by bits and pieces of Maria's memory. David did not think her memory will ever come back, but Maureen begged him to make sure it doesn't. After more questions, she admitted she does not actually want more drugs, she just wants to know what to expect every day and what will happen when she goes back to medicine. Leora woke up then and David wanted to leave her with Maureen while he went to get a bottle. Maureen had vivid memories of herself with Maddie as a baby and ran out the door."
