"As Liza and Tad kissed on her sofa, a distraught Bailey arrived at Liza's house. Bailey explained that Damon had gotten fired from the casino, and he'd punched a valet on his way out. When Bailey stated that Damon was in jail, Liza practically flew out the door alone to handle it.
Tad said that Bailey should feel grateful, because Liza didn't have to help. Bailey claimed that if she'd had another choice, she wouldn't have bothered Liza. "Yes, you would," Tad replied. He said Bailey knew that Liza would back Bailey up, even if it were unfair to Liza. Bailey realized that Liza had done a lot for Bailey, while Bailey had made Liza's life miserable.
Tad asked how Bailey and Damon were managing. Bailey wasn't sure that Damon was "the one," but he was Stuart's father. She said Damon had given up a lot for the baby. It was rough on Damon and her, but they'd managed to have some fun. Bailey had thought that everything was okay, but then Damon had gotten arrested. Tad asked if family life with Damon was all that Bailey had imagined. "Not even close," she admitted.
Bailey complained that there wasn't enough free time, money, or space in their tiny apartment. She said she'd never ask Liza for a handout. Tad wondered why Bailey had shown up there. She responded that she'd missed Liza, who was the coolest person that Bailey knew. Tad agreed with that and asked where Bailey went from there. Bailey wished that Tad could tell her.
At the courthouse, a handcuffed Damon grimaced to see Liza. He said that, for the record, his victim had been "a tool." Damon hoped that she could make the charges go away, and he claimed that he'd get another job. Liza wondered what he'd do about the rest, but he just shrugged. Liza scowled, wondering if he and Bailey had any idea of what they were doing.
Liza took Damon to her place, where Tad and Bailey waited. Tad wondered if Damon missed being on the road with his band. Damon said he had different priorities, and he and Bailey were doing just fine. Tad scoffed that being thrown in jail for assault was great. Liza said that they'd gotten the assault charges dropped, and she asked if she could hold Stuart.
As Bailey obliged Liza, Tad prompted Bailey to tell Liza that Bailey had missed her. Liza stated that she'd missed Bailey and Stuart, too. Damon said that was the reason that he didn't want Bailey to call Liza. Damon hurried Bailey and Stuart out the door, and Tad apologized to Liza for pushing. He said that it was clear that Liza meant a lot to Bailey, and he'd thought that Liza needed to hear it. Liza replied that he'd been right; she had needed to hear it.
At Erica's house, Ryan and Erica kissed. They suddenly heard Opal pounding on the door and yelling that she'd seen the Pine Valley exposé. She said that Erica needed to get "her fanny" over to Ryan's place. Erica opened the door, and Opal saw Ryan. "Shoot me now," Opal said. Ryan and Erica claimed that they'd merely been talking. Ryan asked if he should go. "No!" Erica and Opal shouted in unison. Opal left, telling them to continue as they were.
Ryan and Erica awkwardly teased each other about where they "were" when Opal had interrupted. Ryan realized that the mood had officially been killed. The couple discussed how their intimate moments always seemed to get interrupted. Erica said that they also seemed to "talk the situation to death." Ryan stated that things should happen more naturally.
Erica decided that Ryan should go, and Ryan started analyzing why she'd said that. He suddenly shook his head and strode toward the door. Erica stopped him to give him his DVD, and he said that he'd liked what she'd said on it. After he left, they both sighed.
Erica changed into a nightgown and robe and ordered room service for one. She sat down and stared at the DVD. Meanwhile, Ryan sat at home, doing the same thing. They both remembered the times they'd shared together in the cabin and going sailing.
When Erica's room service arrived later, she was surprised to see Ryan wheeling it into the room. Ryan said he'd been at home replaying their "greatest hits" in his mind like a movie. When the movie abruptly ended, he'd wound up on her doorstep. Erica said the same thing had happened to her. Ryan decided that they'd finish their movie right then. Erica wondered how it would end. Ryan said that he had no idea. He kissed her and her robe fell on the floor.
After making love with Erica, Ryan gazed at the ceiling. Erica asked if he were watching the ending credits, but Ryan responded that their movie was far from over. She said that it had taken long enough to start, and Ryan joked that he'd never seen so many previews before in his life. They cuddled, happy to finally be together.
At the unknown Gloucester facility, Greenlee challenged David to tell her that her dreams had been off base. David hesitated, and he said that they hadn't been far off the mark. He stated that Ryan had been grieving and focusing on his children. As far as David could tell, Zach and Ryan had forged an amicable existence. Greenlee asked about Jackson and Erica, and David replied, "Yep, they're at it again." Greenlee assumed that Annie was locked away in Oak Haven, and David called Greenlee a psychic.
Greenlee was excited to get started with her treatment, and David said he'd order a full evaluation for her. He decided to return to Pine Valley, so that no one would get suspicious of his trip. Greenlee insisted that no one know about her until she'd fully recovered. David promised to return to help her after the surgery.
In the corridor, David asked Dr. Clayton and Gayle to keep Greenlee in the dark about the life changes that had occurred in Pine Valley. Dr. Clayton wasn't comfortable about lying, but David insisted that they needed to protect Greenlee's fantasy at all costs, or else she'd lose her will to live. Gayle advised David that his plane awaited him.
When Dr. Clayton visited Greenlee, she seemed determined to get well and return to her life as the soon-to-be Mrs. Ryan Lavery. Dr. Clayton said that her spirit was exactly the thing that would help her recover. Greenlee said that she always fought for what she wanted. If she couldn't return home to the life she'd had as a whole person, then she didn't want to return at all.
Later, Gayle entered, and Greenlee sarcastically said that Gayle must love David for sticking her alone with a comatose patient for a year. Gayle replied that David had hidden Greenlee for good reasons. Greenlee understood that, and Gayle figured that David really cared about Greenlee. Greenlee asked if Gayle had feelings for David. Gayle responded that it didn't matter; David needed to play hero, but Gayle didn't need saving.
Greenlee fell asleep, and her dream picked up at Ryan's house, where her last dream had left off. In the dream, Ryan seemed stunned to see her. He said that he'd never given up on her.
At ConFusion, Jake wondered if Amanda were giving him an ultimatum to stop him from going to Gloucester. He was outraged that she'd give up their relationship over David. Jake refused to let the vendetta go, and Amanda replied that she didn't know where they went from there. Jake stated that she knew; she was just afraid to say it.
Amanda asserted that she couldn't let Jake tear down Trevor's dying father. "That's just it; he's not dying!" Jake declared. He said that it was a hoax to manipulate Amanda. She guessed that she was just an idiot then. Jake responded that David was just taking advantage of her good heart. Jake didn't think that David deserved her compassion, and Jake stated that he'd fight for Trevor and her, even if she hated him for it.
Amanda went to Wildwind, and David entered soon after. He said that Amanda had been right; seeing patients was too stressful for him. He decided to go to Malaysia to undergo extensive therapy to ease his pain. He said he'd be gone for a few weeks, but Amanda replied that he was supposed to be spending his time with Trevor. David sighed, and Amanda guessed that he wanted Amanda and Trevor to go with him.
David said he wanted that more than anything, but he'd already asked enough of Amanda. He said Malaysia wasn't a safe place for Amanda or Trevor. She sensed that David's illness had worsened, and she said he seemed to be slinking into the woods to die. David assured her that he wasn't planning to die overseas. He promised her that he'd return to her and their son.
David packed, and Amanda fretted as he headed to the door. He said not to worry, because he was going to a place of hope. Later, aboard a jet, David advised his pilot to deviate from the flight plan to Malaysia to make a stop in Gloucester.
Jake went to tell Tad that Jake was going to Gloucester, but Tad wasn't home. Jake told Krystal about the talk he'd had with Amanda, and Krystal wondered if Jake really wanted to risk his marriage just to stick it to David. She said it wasn't worth it, and she reminded him of how David had ruined Krystal and Tad's relationship.
Opal entered, and she said that Jake shouldn't travel. Jake ignored her and headed for the door. Just then, Amanda entered with Trevor. She explained that David was headed to Malaysia, and from the tone of David's voice, she didn't think that he'd be returning."
