"Greenlee stood on the beach, daring the lightning to strike her. She announced to the sky that she could not be hurt anymore. As she daunted Mother Nature, her foot became trapped beneath a huge rock. Struggling to free herself, she laughed and looked upwards. She mused that no one was there to help her and that no one ever had been, except Leo. "I'm Jackson Montgomery's little girl now," she said. "I should be able to shout out to him and he should ride in to the rescue." She called out for her "daddy," asking him where he was. "Here I am," Jack replied, a figment of her imagination. She then imagined herself as a little girl with Jack as her father. She watched "little Greenlee" interact with her father in an ideal world and smiled as she imagined the childhood she might have had if Jack had known about her.
In the hotel room, Jack introduced himself to Juan Pablo as the district attorney. Juan Pablo asked if he had a warrant, to which Jack replied he didn't need one, since he was only trying to find his daughter. "You're her father?" Juan Pablo asked. Jack answered that he was and that he wasn't leaving until Juan Pablo told him where Greenlee was. Jack assured Juan Pablo that all he wanted was to help Greenlee. As he began to leave, he noticed Greenlee's dress on a chair. He demanded Juan Pablo tell him where she was. All Juan Pablo would say was that she was not there. Jack refused to believe him and asked how he knew that Juan Pablo hadn't done something to her. Juan Pablo responded by saying Jack was the one who'd hurt Greenlee. Juan Pablo told Jack how he and Greenlee ended up in Atlantic City together. Jack thanked him for helping Greenlee, but added that he hadn't had to lie to him. Juan Pablo explained that he didn't know Jack or his motives, so he lied. Jack firmly stated that he definitely wanted what was best for Greenlee. Juan Pablo told Jack that Greenlee wasn't ready to see him yet, but Jack insisted she should know that she didn't have to go through this alone. Juan Pablo assured him Greenlee wasn't alone and Jack reluctantly agreed to leave. He ordered Juan Pablo to tell her he'd been asking about her and gave him his business card to pass on to Greenlee.
Greenlee told herself that she was losing her mind and that Jack was certainly no better a father than anyone else. As she continued her struggle to escape, the real Jack appeared. He offered to help, but she refused. Jack told Greenlee that he was just as surprised as anyone to learn she was his daughter. While she still refused his help, he said "Shut your pie hole," and used a stick as leverage to get the rock from her foot. He offered to help her back to the hotel and she refused. She said she'd been taking care of herself her whole life and that the man she thought was her father had been too busy boozing and carousing to care for her. Or maybe he knew she wasn't his real daughter, she speculated. She told Jack she didn't need a father then and didn't need one now. Jack grabbed her by the arms and replied, "Oh really?" Jack told Greenlee her "tough girl act" wasn't working on him. She replied that she didn't care what he thought, that he was nothing to her. "Actually," he responded, "I'm your father, whether you like it or not and whether I like it or not. You can be as big a pain in the butt as you want to be about it, but you're not going to chase me away. So you might as well get used to it." Greenlee tried to get away, but her injured foot caused her to fall. Jack picked her up in his arms. She demanded he put her down, but when the lightning flashed, Jack's frightened little girl wrapped her arms tightly around him, burying her face in his neck.
Back in Pine Valley, the thunderstorm was approaching, as Erica let Boyd into the penthouse. Erica explained that she had been unable to get in touch with Bianca and was worried. Did he know where she was? Boyd said he hadn't seen her since the would-be wedding and thought, as most people did, that Bianca was just laying low to get over the breakup with Lena. Erica worried that Bianca had not handled things well in the past and feared she would shut down. She said she wanted Bianca to come to her if she needed to. Boyd offered to help look for her, and Erica thanked him, showing him out. She went to the phone, but before she could even dial, there was a knock at the door. Thinking it might be Bianca, Erica rushed over, only to find Mary Smythe standing there. Erica tried to dismiss her, but Mary insisted that they had to help Jack and Greenlee reconcile. She offered to withstand any insults Erica wanted to throw at her, if only she would help. "How big of a fool do you think I am?" Erica asked, incredulously. Mary asked Erica if the wedding had been rescheduled. Erica assured her that she and Jack would get married. She told Mary she wanted her to leave. Mary said she wanted to go find Greenlee, because her daughter was "freaked." Erica said Greenlee was lucky, because Jack would always do the right thing and extend an olive branch. "If Greenlee is smart enough to take it," Erica continued, "then at least she will have one decent parent." Mary feigned agreement. "Maybe the sins of the mother are visited on her children," she replied, "and that probably explains why you have daughters that are an anorexic lesbian and a tramp." Erica slammed the door in Mary's face and wondered aloud where Bianca was.
At the Valley Inn, Kendall had dialed the number she'd gotten from Michael's caller ID. At the other end of the line, Ryan stood over the phone, but decided not to answer it. Kendall's call was eventually forwarded to an operator. Kendall decided against leaving a message, but as an afterthought, she asked if a Ryan Lavery was registered. The answer was no, and a visibly shaken Kendall hung up. Aidan appeared and asked what was wrong. Kendall asked him if he ever thought so much about someone that he heard their voice in his head. Thinking of Maureen, he wistfully replied that he had. Kendall questioned Aidan about his feelings for Maureen. He said he was over her, but still had relapses occasionally. Kendall wondered out loud if people ever got past the past. Aidan thought so, saying that the memories had to be buried eventually. He questioned why the subject had arisen. She began to tell him about hearing Ryan's voice, but changed her mind. She asked if they could have drinks together some other time, as she wanted to check on Erica, who didn't do well during storms. Aidan agreed and cautioned her to stay away from Michael Cambias unless he were around. She assured him she was going to Erica's and that her relationship with her mother was going well.
Erica tried to call Bianca and left a message. Staring at Bianca's photo, she remembered David telling her his suspicions of rape. She agonized as she heard herself telling Myrtle about it. She was startled when Kendall arrived and touched her shoulder. Kendall explained that she came to make sure Erica was okay. Erica told her she was worried about Bianca. She began to question Kendall about the night she found Bianca in the park. Kendall recounted how Bianca was standing over a trash can with a lit match in her hand. She added that she had returned to that trash can later, only to find Bianca's blouse all burned up. When she confronted Bianca about it, she was told to mind her own business, and she dropped the subject. Erica began to badger Kendall about why she hadn't pressed Bianca for the truth. "What kind of sister are you? Don't you care about Bianca at all?" Kendall told Erica that of course she cared about Bianca, but Bianca had brushed her off, so what could she do? Erica said Bianca needed them, and Kendall assured her Bianca would get over Lena. She said she hoped both Lena and Michael would disappear. Reacting to the sound of Michael's name, Erica asked if Bianca had mentioned him. Kendall replied that Michael had mentioned Bianca in comparing the two sisters. He had told Kendall that Bianca was sweeter and that he'd like her more if she were like Bianca. Erica slipped into denial of the rape, though Kendall had no idea what she was yammering on about. Kendall pressed Erica for answers, and Erica's gaze was enough to tell her Michael had raped Bianca. Kendall recalled the look of terror on Bianca's face, but she didn't want to believe the rape had happened. She tried to convince Erica that it wasn't true. Erica insisted that something had happened, as Bianca hadn't been the same. Kendall was still in denial when they heard a key in the door and Bianca came home.
At Wildwind, Edmund ushered Maria into a romantic candlelit room. He explained that it was an anniversary--of the day she was in the plane crash. He said they were celebrating how lucky he was to have her back. "Thank God we were given a second chance," she said. "Honey," he replied, "we were given a miracle." They toasted their happy future with champagne. The thunder clapped, and they reminisced about the first time they made love during a thunderstorm. As he kissed her and eased her onto the bed, Maddie came in and said she was afraid of the storm and wanted to sleep in their bed. Edmund tried to talk her out of it, but she begged, and Maria gave in. Edmund played with Maddie, while Maria brought in a board game and spread it out on the bed. Sam appeared and pretended to be concerned about Maddie, instead of admitting he was afraid of the storm. They invited him to play the game with them, and after stating that it was a baby game, he eagerly joined them on the bed. Maddie teased him, and they jumped up and down on the bed and began a pillow fight, as Edmund and Maria happily looked on. As Maria played the game with Maddie and Sam, Edmund wheeled a serving cart with ice cream and toppings into the room. The kids began to make themselves sundaes, and Edmund told Maria how happy he was. When the kids began to bicker, Edmund took over as the sundae-maker. Maria told him not to use up all the whipped cream. "We might need some for later," she added. Edmund grinned at her.
Ryan went to Alexander's hospital room. Outside the door, a nurse told him she couldn't release information to non-family, but she did say that they weren't sure yet whether or not Alexander would live. Ryan greeted Alexander and told him of his conversation with Michael. Alexander said Michael would be sorry and rot in hell. He added that Ryan would be the one to see to it. Ryan told Alexander he had to be leaving and didn't want to get in the middle of family problems. Alexander offered Ryan another check, which Ryan refused. Alexander insisted Ryan stay long enough for him to tell him something.
Juan Pablo received a knock on his door. He seemed relieved, thinking Greenlee had finally come back. Instead, he found Carlos!"
