"Maureen woke up from a nightmare in which Edmund told her the shooter was in custody, and he was ready to take Maddie home; Aidan showed up. Aidan pushed Maureen about what her dream had been about, but she resisted and told him she was afraid of what would happen if she ever lost him. She had another memory of Edmund telling her the same thing, and she pulled away from Aidan. Maureen told him her memories were of things in the present that reminded her of the past.
Edmund and Derek discussed the sketch of the shooter. Derek thought Chris Stamp would be back, big and bad as ever. Edmund tried to convince Derek to let him help with finding Evan. Edmund realized his cell phone was missing. Meanwhile Evan was seen holding it; he remembered shooting Chris Stamp -- and Maddie watching it happen. The cell phone rang. Evan answered it, pretending to be Edmund.
Maddie thought she was talking to Edmund and told him about the boat they were on. Evan pretended to be Edmund and said he would see her shortly. Maureen thought that if she and Aidan concentrated on each other, everything would be fine. Maddie interrupted with the fake message that Evan had given her as Edmund -- "that he loves Maria." When Maddie explained that Edmund's voice had been scratchy, Aidan got suspicious. Evan was slinking around on the yacht.
Michael told his father at the Valley Inn press conference that he might not be the favorite son, but he was the future of Cambias Industries.
Greenlee tried to convince Kendall it was no use being there. She said that Michael was only looking out for himself. Kendall grinned slyly, saying, "You never know what surprises may happen." Jack entered with Erica, who quietly asked Jack if everything was in place. Erica pleasantly greeted Alex and introduced Jack then was joined by Michael. As Erica walked away, his father told him that the people one alienated on the way up were the people one would meet on the way down. He advised that Michael shouldn't make enemies.
Michael greeted the press by announcing that Erica had risked all attempts of a merger by Cambias Industries, and they no longer had any use for Erica Kane or Enchantment. He explained that they had their own formula that would be released later that year and that it would put Enchantment out of business. He explained they had dumped all of their Enchantment stock, and it had taken a nosedive. He told her the worst executive decision she had ever made had been to not accept his offer.
Erica took her turn at the podium. Michael asked his father, "What the hell is going on?" He replied, "You wanted to learn from the master? Pay attention."
Erica announced the formula he had stolen from her safe was missing a key ingredient. All he had was a recipe for generic skin cream. Enchantment was the only company who had patented the anti-aging skin cream, legally and exclusively. She also had options to buy back the shares that Cambias Industries had dumped, and they were selling at an all-time high, while Cambias stocks were worth about the same as confederate war bonds. She got a huge round of applause.
Erica explained that she could scoop up all the shares and regain controlling interest in Enchantment, or Alex could offer her his son's seat on the board and watch his shares recoup. She told him to choose wisely. Alex announced that Cambias Industries welcomed Erica to their board of directors. He pointed to Michael and shouted at him that he hadn't earned the right -- that he was a huge embarrassment.
Jackson approached Michael with two police officers to arrest him for stealing the formula. Lena turned to Bianca and said, "Bianca, you promised me." Bianca said, "I lied. How does it feel?" Kendall approached, and Michael told her he could kill her.
Michael asked if his father would call the lawyers. His father said, "I am through with you!" Jackson gave Lena an opportunity to use a get out of jail free card. As she got up, she saw her mother. Jack confirmed that Michael had been threatening her mother.
Greenlee was shocked to find out that Kendall and Erica had been in on the situation all along. Kendall replied, "We rock, Mom." Erica just smiled hugely. Erica, Kendall, and Bianca toasted to Michael Cambias not getting the better of them. Erica complimented Kendall for getting over Michael so quickly and told Kendall she cared. Kendall replied to Erica that she could almost believe her.
Lena approached to tell Bianca she was grateful for Jack taking her mother and asked Bianca for another chance. Bianca rejected her, telling her all she had wanted was someone to trust. Erica comforted both her daughters and told them she didn't think they had seen the worst or the last of Michael."
