Colby was in Josh's hotel room. She was rolling on the bed and calling out Josh's name when Josh walked in. Josh was very agitated when he saw Colby and accused her of trying to get him into trouble again. Colby claimed she just wanted to talk, but Josh did not believe her. So, Josh asked the maid to come inside and be his witness. Josh wanted to protect himself from another one of Colby's lies, like he committed statutory rape again. Then, Josh searched the room because he assumed Colby planted something in there. As Colby proclaimed her innocence, Kendall came in. Kendall asked Josh to watch Spike and then threw Colby out of the room by her hair. Josh was impressed, but knew Kendall was revved up by something else. Kendall proceeded to explain that Annie was sticking her claws into Ryan by taking advantage of Erin's death. Josh asked why Kendall cared since she had Zach. Kendall then obscurely mentioned David and a lie he told her. Josh was confused, so Kendall told him that David claimed Ryan was Emma's father. Josh believed it was a typical lie David manufactured to hurt people. Still, Kendall said she could not forget it and asked Josh to help her with a DNA test. Josh said it was a long shot that Ryan fathered Emma. However, Josh said it was a possibility that Greg Madden used his own sperm to inseminate Annie. Josh asked if Kendall would tell Annie and Ryan about the test results. Kendall stated she would not tell them if Ryan was not the father. Still, Kendall was not sure if she would tell them if Ryan was the father. Josh then asked why she cared if Ryan was the father. Kendall worried that Ryan would not spend as much time with Spike and would end up settling for Annie. Josh stated Kendall was just like Erica, but agreed to help her get the DNA results.

Sean asked for details and Colby hesitated, but finally told him everything. Sean said she was sneaky, but it was cute. Colby explained that JR was not capable of doing this himself, so she had to do it for him. Colby believed this was the best Christmas gift she could give JR. Sean then expressed his desire to get Jeff away from Erica. Colby claimed she could get Erica back home before Christmas, but Sean did not believe her. So, Colby said if she did get Erica home, then Sean would have to take her out to New York City for New Year's Eve and help her expose Josh and Babe. Sean said it was a deal and they shook on it.
Zach was at Fusion and started to question Zarf. Zach held up a sketch Zarf drew for an album cover. It was a woman lying down with a flower and a ribbon. Zach also showed him lyrics that correlated with the picture. The lyrics spoke of a woman that he had to kill to save himself. Zach asked who this woman was and if he killed her. Zarf said Zach would not believe him if he tried to tell the truth. Also, Zarf believed that Zach was accusing him because he did not grieve and because he was an artist that was different from everyone else. Zach stated he only cared about the two women that died. Then, Zarf pulled a white ribbon out of his pocket and asked if Zach saw that as more evidence. Zach looked nervous and asked how Zarf knew about her. Zarf thought it was interesting that Zach had a "her" too and asked what Zach's secret was. Zach believed Zarf put the note by his door and grabbed Zarf. He yelled as he asked how Zarf knew about her. Then, Bianca walked in with a security guard and told Zach to stop. Zach finally calmed down and let go of Zarf. Zarf then explained that Zach thought he was the killer because of a sketch and lyrics. Bianca did not believe this was enough proof and Zarf left. Zach then told Bianca that the killings were his fault and that he worried Kendall might be next. Bianca assured him it was not his fault, but Zach persisted. Zach believed the murders were a message to him. Zach then left and Bianca stayed to decorate for the holidays. Bianca found an ornament with a picture that had Simone and Erin in it. Bianca looked sad, but continued to decorate. Then, she felt fake snow on her. Bianca was startled and turned around to see Zarf. Zarf asked if Bianca was scared of him.
Zach walked outside. He imagined Kendall motionless on top of rocks. She had a gardenia in her hair and a white ribbon around her neck!"
