"Ryan visited Jonathan in his hotel room, and Jonathan gleefully said that he felt great about his last session with Dr. Robins. Ryan said that Edmund had been murdered and that he knew who had poisoned Greenlee. Ryan said that Zach had confessed to killing Edmund, shooting Ryan, and poisoning Ryan's wife. Jonathan seemed thrilled and said that they finally "got their man." Realizing how insensitive he was being, Jonathan apologized to Ryan and said that he was sorry about Ryan's friend's death.
Ryan said that he was not sure if Zach was telling the truth because if he had done it, there was no reason for him to admit it. Also, when he had admitted it, there had been a look in his eye that had seemed as though he had been taking more of a shot at them, instead of confessing, Ryan said. Jonathan said that Zach was just trying to get on his nerves and not to worry about it. As Jonathan put on his tie, Ryan asked where he was going. When Jonathan said he was going on a date with Simone, Ryan said, "Like hell!"
Ryan told Jonathan that he was not ready to be dating again. Jonathan assured him that he wouldn't hit Simone or drink alcohol at the date; he would be on his best behavior. He got a call from Simone, asking him to pick her up at Fusion because she was running late. Jonathan agreed and left, with Ryan looking very unhappy.
Ryan went to the bar at Pine Valley Restaurant and ran into David. David, already deep into the booze, began to taunt him, but Ryan said to leave him alone because he was just a drunk. David ignored him and asked who he was cheating on Greenlee with. Ryan said he was not cheating on her, but David did not seem to trust him. David said that it couldn't be Kendall because she was Greenlee's "wingman on this." Ryan asked him, "Wingman on what?" David realized that Ryan was not lying and said, "Then who is the drug for?" Ryan asked him, "What drug?"
At Fusion, Kendall and Greenlee were trying to figure out how to slip the truth drug into Jonathan's drink. Greenlee was worried about the whole plot and said that her marriage was on the line. Kendall agreed but added that they needed to know who had tried to kill Greenlee and frame her. She said that even if Jonathan did not confess, she could lose either way for lying to Ryan. Greenlee said that she knew all that and would not lie to Ryan anymore after that mission was pulled off.
Simone walked in and said that she had a date with Jonathan that evening. "Forget it!" Kendall and Greenlee both chanted at the same time. Simone told them that she knew Jonathan was crazy, and Kendall asked Greenlee if Greenlee had told Simone the truth. Greenlee said that they could trust Simone, and Simone assured them that their secret was safe with her. They all agreed to let Simone slip the drug in Jonathan's drink.
As Greenlee and Kendall huddled in a closet, Jonathan arrived at Fusion and told Simone that she looked great. Simone thanked him and pulled out a bottle of wine that she had slipped away from Kendall. She suggested that they have cocktails there because if Kendall knew she had taken it, she would be in trouble. Simone went to pick up two glasses of wine off a counter and handed a glass to Jonathan. He declined the drink and said that he was trying to lay off the booze. Disappointed, Simone said that she would have to throw the entire bottle out because she hated to drink alone. Jonathan said that one drink wouldn't hurt him, and they started sipping.
Lily went back home with Jackson and Reggie. She immediately started reorganizing things, and Reggie apologized for moving her things. Aidan stopped over to check on Lily, but Jackson immediately pushed him outside and warned him to stay away from his daughter. Jackson blamed Aidan for Lily's behavior because she had seen him kiss Anita. Aidan said that he wished he could go back in time and fix it but that he cared deeply for Lily. Jackson went back inside, alone, and Reggie told him that Erica might be able to get through to Lily.
Maria tried to comfort Maddie, but she had locked herself in her room. Anita went upstairs to try to talk to Maddie as the doorbell rang. When Maria answered it, Ethan walked in and offered to help her in any way that he could. Maria thanked him with a hug then snapped that Edmund's death was his fault because he had not gone with him to the barn. Ethan said that Maria was right, and he would never forgive himself for not going with Edmund.
Maria apologized for blaming Ethan and said that she had been having a hard time trying to understand everything that had happened. Ethan told her why Zach had gone over and that Edmund had wanted to go alone, as though it had been an issue of his pride. Maria blamed herself for Edmund's death, saying that she had trusted Zach and believed his excuses. She told Ethan that she did not know why Zach had treated his own son so badly, but she was glad Ethan was nothing like Zach.
Aidan stopped over to see Maria next and immediately started asking Ethan what had happened in the barn. Again, Ethan said he had seen Zach hit Edmund on the head with a shovel and kill him. Aidan said that if Edmund were going to talk to the hit man, it made no sense for him to show up. Perhaps there had been no hit man, he said. Aidan said that the last number that had been traced on Bobby's phone had not been able to found, plus Edmund had waved a lot of money in front of Bobby.
Ethan said that the hit man's identity was not important because Zach had confessed to everything. As Ethan and Aidan argued, Anita told them to stop because it was the last thing Maria needed to hear. After everyone had left, Maria sat by the fire with a glass of alcohol in one hand. She remembered Zach saying that he would never lie to her then confessing to killing Edmund. She began to sob.
Ethan went to his office at work and remembered Zach saying that Ethan was not his son then attempting to steal Cambias Industries from him.
Erica visited Zach in jail and immediately began tearing him down with her harsh words. Erica asked him why he would kill Edmund over Maria; she wasn't even worth the rate of a hotel room. Zach was still unresponsive, so Erica continued, saying that he was just like his brother, Michael. Zach said that she was just as guilty as he was because she had encouraged him to stay in town and try to work things out with Ethan. Erica said that Zach had made his own choices and that she would make sure he was punished for Edmund's death.
Zach said that Erica had no idea "what hell" was headed her way. Myrtle was the next one to visit Zach in his cell. She said that she was not sure if he was telling the truth about being a murderer. She said that when she had seen him hold Miranda, his eyes had not screamed "murderer" but love instead. It had not been the face of a man who would leave two kids without a father, Myrtle said.
Erica went to visit Lily, and when she arrived, Jackson and Reggie went to pick up dinner. Erica told Lily that sometimes it was hard to work when things got out of order, and Lily stopped organizing a stack of CDs to listen. Erica told her that Lily had been brave and that Erica cared about her and only wanted to keep her safe. When Erica mentioned what Lily had seen happen in the barn, Lily started yelling, "Red!" repeatedly.
Lily walked over to the kitchen counter and accidentally cut herself then began yelling, "White, red!" over and over again. Erica handed her a washcloth to stop the bleeding and looked for a Band-Aid. When Jackson returned with dinner, he asked Erica how Lily had done. Erica told him that Lily had cut herself but was fine. She admitted that she thought Lily had witnessed Edmund's murder."
