"Livia Frye was not happy to be representing Krystal, Babe, and David in court and was only doing so as a favor to Tad. When they all convened in court for the sentencing, Erica interrupted the judge before he rendered the sentence. She insisted that she be given an opportunity to tell the judge how their actions had affected the victims. JR also stood up and asked to be heard. The judge decided to let them speak. Each made an impassioned speech about the pain and suffering they had endured as a result of Krystal, Babe, and David's actions.
Afterwards, the judge decided to take a short recess to consider their statements. When he returned, he expressed his disgust for the plea bargain but decided to uphold it. He sentenced Krystal to ten years in prison, demanded that David give up his medical license, and then ordered Babe and David to report to their probation officer three times a week and collect trash as their community service. Before Krystal was taken to prison, Tad promised her that he would be there every visiting day, while she, in turn, told him that she loved him. Adam, Erica, and JR watched as Krystal was taken away in front of a weeping Babe, for whom they had no empathy.
Simone found Greenlee on the roof of Fusion, standing near the ledge. Panic-stricken, she rushed over and pulled Greenlee back. Greenlee assured Simone that she hadn't been about to repeat the Green Butterfly act. When Simone questioned her about the obvious secret that she and Kendall had between them, Greenlee confided that she suspected Jonathan of poisoning her.
Greenlee and Simone returned to the offices, where Greenlee started questioning Simone about anything she might have noticed during the time when she had been poisoned. At first, Simone didn't recall anything out of the ordinary, but then she remembered that Jonathan had always been running off to fetch Greenlee a glass of orange juice or something to drink. He had seemed obsessed with keeping her hydrated while he had never extended the same concern to Simone or anyone else. Greenlee realized that could be significant.
Ryan asked Dr. Robinson over for an emergency session with him and Jonathan. When the doctor arrived, Ryan said that he wanted to explore Jonathan's feelings for Greenlee. Jonathan tried to make it sound as if the animosity and distrust between him and Greenlee was one-sided and primarily of Greenlee's making. He then tried to shift the discussion from Greenlee to an incident during his childhood when he had been victimized, but neither Ryan nor the doctor permitted it.
Agitated, Jonathan talked about Greenlee but inadvertently referred to her as "Gail." It was their mother's name. Ryan caught the slip immediately and probed further, questioning why Jonathan had referred to Greenlee as Gail. Jonathan tried to brush it off as insignificant, but Ryan didn't buy it. When the doctor asked Jonathan to tell about his mother, Jonathan seemed to have difficulty. Ryan tried to help by recalling his own memories, talking about the "blue sky" days, which had been wonderful, and he touched on her heavy drinking.
Jonathan took over, recalling how she had frequently asked him to fix her drinks and how he would do it despite knowing it was poison to her. He told how she had always praised him for making her the best drinks. While he was talking, Ryan recalled watching Jonathan fixing a cup of coffee for Greenlee and handing it to her at Fusion. He remembered Greenlee commenting that the drink had some bite to it. When the doctor called an end to the session and left, Ryan took the opportunity to leave as well. Alone, Jonathan picked up a water bottle and toasted out loud to his mother.
At the hospital, Maria demanded that Zach denounce Ethan for making false allegations, but Zach remained stoically silent. Just then, Derek, whom Ethan had called, arrived and demanded to know what was going on. He learned of Edmund's death and what Ethan had witnessed. According to Ethan, he had run into Zach, who had been determined to confront Edmund. Realizing things were not going to go well for Edmund, Ethan had hit Zach over the head with a shovel and had gone to warn Edmund that Zach had been looking for him.
Ethan reported that Edmund hadn't been intimidated. He had insisted on dealing with Zach himself. Ethan, fearing trouble, had decided to follow him and had witnessed Zach hitting Edmund over the head with the same shovel that Ethan had used on Zach. He also mentioned seeing a conveniently tipped-over space heater, which had caught the straw on fire. Ethan then turned to Zach and said that the reason he had saved Zach's life was so that Zach could face the punishment for his crimes.
Taking Zach's silence as an admission of guilt, Maria raged at Zach. She pieced together what she believed were all of Zach's transgressions and crimes as Derek took notes. Disgusted with herself for what she saw as her own culpability, she realized that the price she had paid was the murder of the love of her life. She told Zach that she wished he were the one who had died.
Meanwhile, Kendall pulled Ethan off to the side and confronted him about the revelations he had made, which he had not mentioned earlier when they had discussed the events. Ethan swore to her that he was telling the truth. After Zach was arrested and taken to the police station, Derek questioned Ethan about his statement and whether he'd be able to testify against his father in court. Ethan pointed out to Derek that he might share his DNA, but Zach was not a father to him. He would have no problem testifying against Zach in court.
Ryan walked into Fusion and asked to speak to Greenlee alone. After Simone left, he told her that he'd had an emergency session with Dr. Robinson, but before he could do more than mention that she and his mother had been discussed, Kendall walked in with the startling news that Edmund was dead and that Zach had killed him. She went on to tell them that he was also the one who had shot Ryan and poisoned Greenlee.
As Brooke left Edmund's side, Joe Martin ran into her in the hallway. He offered her his condolences and left. Alone, Brooke replayed a recent conversation she'd had with Edmund, regarding Maria and Zach. Later, she offered Maria comfort, reminding her that she and Edmund had loved each other. Maria then went in to see Edmund. She softly kissed him then, grief-stricken, wept over his body."
