"At the Fusion offices, Bianca can't understand why Greenlee isn't more upset about Kendall being in Vegas with Ryan. Greenlee tells her because "Kendall with Ryan beats Kendall with the SEC." Plus the last year has taught Greenlee that nothing good comes of going ballistic. "Keep your cool and keep your edge," Greenlee says.
In Vegas, as Zach listens in, Ryan is trying to figure out "which Kendall" he has with him. For once he'd like to have the "honest Kendall" he tells her. Kendall tells Ryan she can use what she heard to save him just as someone joins Zach asking if he has new information in the SEC investigation. Zach invites the man to join him. "The show is just getting started," Zach tells him. Ryan reminds Kendall he brought her to Vegas to help her mother not to discuss his marriage. He tells her he wants to be married to Greenlee and is staying married to her. Kendall says she wants to help her mother but wants to help "us" too. Ryan tells her there is no us. Ryan's cell rings. It's someone telling him Erica's location. He leaves Kendall behind and goes to find Erica. The SEC investigator comments to Zach that he can't wring much out of that conversation.
Leaning over an unconscious Liza, Dr. Ron Fitzgerald spies Krystal and asks her what she is doing there. She tells him she lives there and asks the same of him. As Liza begins coming to, Tad asks the doctor to concentrate on his patient. Dr. Fitzgerald asks Tad to gently elevate the patient's head. As Tad takes off his jacket to use for a pillow, he asks Krystal if it's true that Dr. Fitzgerald is Babe's father. She confirms he is and adds that he kicked her to the curb 20 years ago. The doctor takes Liza's pulse and says she seems fine whereupon Tad drops her head and takes his jacket back. Krystal and Ron trade words. Seems he was engaged and had his career to look after when she got pregnant. "What? Did you think a doctor's baby was your ticket out of the gutter?" Ron asks her. Ron thinks it's Krystal's fault he was dragged to Pine Valley. Krystal swears it's Liza's fault he's there. For once Krystal is telling the truth. Liza tries to pretend she's injured but the doctor assures her she's fine. Liza has to admit to bringing Dr. Fitzgerald to Pine Valley. She's proud of it and says she brought him in for a pediatric special on WRCW. Liza swears she didn't know he was Babe's dad but David enters and tells her, "Now, Liza. It's not nice to lie to your friends." David and Ron reintroduce themselves and David introduces him around the room. Krystal tells him not to dream of going near Babe. "Baayabe?" Ron says breaking it into a three syllable word imitating Krystal's southern twang and asks what kind of a name that is. Babe enters and asks what is going on. Krystal assures Babe everything is just fine. Liza comments again that she may have a concussion. Krystal tries to hustle Babe out of the room but before she can get her to leave Babe remembers her manners and introduces herself to Ron asking, "Who are you?" Ron introduces himself as "Dr. Fitzgerald, Dr. Hayward's friend." Krystal gets Babe to go take Bess for a walk in the park. As they leave Babe tells Dr. Fitzgerald it was nice meeting him. "Likewise," he says somewhat awestruck looking at his grandchild. David offers to take him out for lunch and tell him all about his offspring. Liza still wants to discuss Ron's appearance on her show but he has a reputation to protect. Liza tries to split too but Tad won't let her go until they thrash this out. "Right now," he tells her.

A knock on the door of the suite Ryan left Kendall in reveals room service. She tells the server she didn't order anything. Zach steps up and volunteers that he did as he enters the room. He thought she and Mr. Lavery might be hungry after their long trip. Zach acts like he thinks Ryan has gone gambling. Kendall tells him a phone call took him away. Zach inquires if it was news of her mother. Kendall doesn't know. She tells him it was on a need to know basis and she didn't make the cut. Zach tells Kendall her mother cares about her a great deal and also her sister. Zach tells her Erica's been reading the Pine Valley papers for news of them. This revelation tells Kendall Zach was lying when he said he didn't know she was Erica's daughter until she arrived there in person. She calls him on the lie. Zach admits he knew who she was all along but was keeping Erica's secret. He then plies her with compliments telling her she's as beautiful and headstrong as her mother said she was. Kendall wants to hear everything her mother has said and done. Everything. Zach tells Kendall that when Erica saw Mr. Lavery married someone else her first thought was of Kendall. Kendall wants to know what else she said. "She said you push love away as hard as you go for it," he tells her. He adds that even though Mr. Lavery is tagged, Erica hopes Kendall is still in the picture. Since they're in Vegas together, Zach questioningly assumes Erica was right and leaves the inquiry hanging in the air. Kendall tells him her and Ryan's relationship is none of his business. Zach feigns his concern is because he is a friend of Erica's. He tells Kendall about cutting Erica off at the bar and with room service. "But if what Erica wants is a drink, then God Herself couldn't stop her," he adds. Zach tells her did it because he cares. Kendall tells him Erica has plenty of people who care about her at home and that's where she should be. Zach comments that Kendall really loves Erica a lot and asks her to come with him without saying where he's inviting her to go.
Erica's screams for help and for them to let her out of there can be heard down the hall as Ryan enters the hospital corridor. Ryan enters her room to find Erica in arm and leg restraints. Ryan removes the restraints and is set on getting Erica out of there when a nurse interrupts. The nurse takes Ryan into the hallway and tells him Ms. Dubois was admitted against her will and cannot leave without the chief of staff's okay. Ryan tells the nurse to get him. He's off location but the nurse says she is paging him immediately. Security is alerted so Ryan can't just whisk Erica away. He tries to keep her calm while they wait. Erica swears they're all lying and says he must get her away from that hospital. It's where her father died and his spirit is strongest there. As she tells Ryan this she sees the silhouette of her father dealing cards behind a curtain. "He's just waiting for me to die," Erica says. Ryan wants to take her to Pine Valley. Erica tells him that's the last place she wants to go. He tells Erica that her family is worried about her and they want a fresh start. Erica tells him it's too late. Plus no one needs to worry about her because she's been living the life she always dreamed of. No pain, no past, and no baggage. She begs Ryan to get her away from the hospital. She will tell him all about the lies if he'll just take her somewhere where she can share her story over a drink. Ryan is not sure that is the best idea and asks if she's not in the best place for her right now. No, she's not, Erica assures him. Erica begs him to believe that everyone else is lying. They have all betrayed her and he is all she has left. She begs Ryan to promise her he won't take her back to Pine Valley. Taking her hand, Ryan promises he won't make her go anywhere she doesn't want to. All he cares about is her being healthy again. "Oh, thank you!" Erica exclaims. Then she talks about Jack and Zach betraying her. Ryan wants to know what Zach did. She tells Ryan that he's the one who had her locked up there and left her alone. Erica warns Ryan he cannot trust Zach Slater. Erica hugs Ryan and tells him she knows Chris' son would never betray her. Ryan promises to make sure she is safe. Just as they break apart, Zach enters the room with Kendall under his arm.
Greenlee chews her nails as she and Bianca wait for burgers at BJ's. Bianca offers her chips and says they taste better then asks if she's worried about the fall campaign. Greenlee admits it's Vegas she's worried about. Bianca asks what happened to keeping her cool. She knows Kendall is out there throwing herself at Ryan. Bianca says eventually Kendall will get used to the marriage and maybe even call a truce. Greenlee doesn't think that's likely no matter how long they're married. Bianca asks about the marriage and the SEC. Greenlee evades the question telling Bianca that marriage is work, "Didn't anyone ever tell you that?" Bianca wishes everyone could go to neutral corners and take a breather. Greenlee asks if Kendall can breathe in another orbit. Bianca just wants them all to be family and act like it. Then she encourages Greenlee to call Ryan.
Greenlee and Bianca return with the burgers to find Simone and Reggie talking in the office. Simone comments on Reggie's down mood. Reggie goes to leave without eating but Kendall tells him he's better off without Danielle and gets him to stay. Simone is glad to have something besides the health food Greenlee is always pushing. She spits as she digs in. She accidentally got Greenlee's tofu burger. Bianca asks Reggie if he really cared about Danielle. He says he did. For what it's worth, Bianca says she could tell she cared about him too. Reggie leaves. Simone and Bianca bemoan the lousy states of their love life. Simone is interested in a new dentist she just saw. Greenlee stays out of it and reminds them they need to get back to work. Simone leaves Bianca and Greenlee alone. Again Bianca urges Greenlee to call Ryan and tells her if Greenlee doesn't call then Bianca will call him herself. Greenlee calls "only to check on Erica" but gets Ryan's voicemail. Her imagination is still running wild. "What do you think he's doing?" Greenlee asks Bianca. "Not what you think he's doing," Bianca replies. Simone comes back with an ad poster that's exactly what Kendall wanted. Greenlee rejects it for no reason other than "Kendall doesn't get everything she wants." A handsome, slender man enters. A bit bowled over, Simone asks if she can help him. He's looking for Ryan Lavery. Greenlee tells him to "join the club.""
