"Greenlee is startled to see Jonathan sitting on the sofa in her old, penthouse condo. She and Jonathan had an icy exchange. Jonathan told Greenlee that his dislike of her was because, to a certain extent, she reminded him of his mother. Jonathan denied wanting to see Ryan or Greenlee hurt, but was at a loss to explain why he would allow Braden to harm them. Greenlee no longer seemed enraged by her brother-in-law and offered to drive him back to the hospital. Jonathan refused to go back, hinting that he wasn't safe there. Greenlee nodded somewhat understandingly and said that Jonathan could stay at her place until she returned from work.
Jack scolded Erica for having told Maria that Edmund could walk. Erica insisted that she was only trying to do the right thing by telling Maria the truth about Edmund. A panicked Lily burst into the apartment and said that she had been chased by "him." A few seconds later, the bodyguard that had been hired to keep a watchful eye over Lily entered. Jack assured Lily that the man following her home from school wasn't a bad man and then took his daughter into her room to play a new chess game. As they walked away, Erica phoned Kendall to ask her if they could go somewhere private and talk. Kendall snapped that she wasn't interested in hearing any more of Erica's lies and Ethan helped Kendall promptly hang up the phone. Determined to talk some sense into her daughter, Erica left to go to Kendall's condo and track down Kendall. Shortly thereafter, Lily asked her dad to take her to Greenlee's condo so that she could look over some of Greenlee's Enchantment projections for use in a school "stock market" game. Jack was held up by a phone call and Lily said that she would head up by herself.
In his childhood home, Ryan collapsed to the ground after being sprayed in the face by some sort of gas that had escaped the windup monkey toy. As he lay on the floor, Braden appeared before him and told Ryan that he wanted to help him. Braden extended his hand to Ryan to help him to his feet. As Ryan reached out, Braden placed a gun in Ryan's face and said, "I lied." The appearance by Braden turned out to be a hallucination caused by the non-toxic gas that had sprayed Ryan. As the his eyes focused in on a face hovering over him, Ryan realized that only Tad and Aidan were in the room with him. Ryan assured the two men that he would be okay. Then, he looked ominously at a lamp that had been knocked over on the floor. Using the handle end of a broom, Ryan shorted out the light bulb. He explained that when he and Braden were growing up, they used to fantasize about ways to kill their father. Ryan had the idea to use the cord from a lamp to do him in. After some searching around the place, Ryan found his next clue in a hollowed-out book. The clue told him to "walk the boards" and alluded to making bets. Ryan's face grew serious as he announced that he knew where he had to go next.

At the boathouse, Maria was outraged that Brooke would turn on her and spout lies about Edmund. The two women went toe-to-toe in a very heated and emotional exchanged, in which Brooke told Maria of a conversation she had had with Edmund shortly before he died. She informed Maria that Edmund had not planned to pull his divorce petition and that he wanted to send Zach to jail � and to make her suffer. Maria denied that what Brooke was saying was true and lashed out at Brooke, calling Brooke a bitter woman who had never gotten over the fact that Edmund had turned his back on her twice. Brooke admitted that she loved Edmund � and that she always would. She then angrily told Maria that while she may not have cheated on Edmund with Zach, Maria was very much to blame for setting Edmund into his rage mode. Then, before leaving, Brooke hinted that she isn't so sure that Zach really did kill Edmund. Later, a devastated Maria sat by herself sobbing. She told herself over and over that Edmund must have loved her and denied that Edmund had lied to her about having been able to talk.

As he did, Lily walked down the hall and stood in horror outside in the hallway."
