Trey is in Greenlee's living room, talking to reporters on the phone, telling them that Ms. Smythe has no comment. Greenlee enters and tells him she is embarrassed that she asked him to stay the night and protect her. She knows Vanessa is locked up in a padded cell. Trey tells her that he understands that she may still be uneasy. He reaches out to pat her shoulder, and when Greenlee sees the bloodstained bandage on his hand she starts to faint. After sitting on the couch for a moment, Trey inquires about calling someone to come and sit with her. Greens insists she is fine, but as she starts to get up she is unsteady. She assures Trey that she 'almost' fainted and she's fine. He tells her that she cried and screamed in her sleep last night and after denying it, she seems to recall him comforting her. She says 'it was just a dream' and Trey goes along with her. She puts on a brave face and declares that Vanessa will not rob her of another night of beauty sleep. She suggests a big breakfast at the Valley Inn.

Bianca shows up at the Valley Inn dining room to have breakfast with Leo, but finds the dining room empty. The pianist starts playing and suddenly Leo sweeps in, decked out in a sharp looking outfit and snazzy sunglasses. As they sip Mimosas, Bianca asks him if he won the lottery, but Leo informs her that his spending spree is courtesy of Vanessa's 'get out of town' money. Bianca is aghast and tells him that it is drug money and he can't keep it. Leo claims it is money he earned by being Vanessa's puppet for so long. Bianca argues valiantly, trying to convince him that it is blood money. When she says she won't have any part of helping him spend the money he begs her not to make him give it back. This is the only way he knows to get revenge on his mother for costing him the only woman he ever truly loved. Greenlee has entered the room and is hiding behind a large plant and hears his declaration of love. She and Trey breeze into the room and Leo tries desperately to apologize for Vanessa's actions the night before. Trey informs Leo that Vanessa had been injected with a psychotropic drug. He then accuses Leo of drugging his mother. When Bianca jumps to his defense, Trey also mentions that the Feds are looking for Vanessa's stashed drug money. Leo claims that his mother hates him now and would never share the loot with him. He accuses Trey of being in cahoots with Vanessa as her lawyer. This puts a damper on the party and Greenlee and Trey head of to work. Leo mentions to Bianca that Greenlee was wearing a new perfume. Bianca begs him to give back the money now for his own peace of mind. He claims that it is his 'inheritance' and that the Feds are looking for a whole lot more money than he got. Bianca reluctantly agrees to help him enjoy the money. He invites her to move in to the huge two bedroom Presidential suite that he has booked there at the Valley Inn. After some arm twisting, she agrees. He asks her to go pack and move in right away.

Val is deftly managing to divert the bouquets and the phone calls as Erica continues to pretend to be Greenlee. Erica tells Val that she has to keep this up as long as Revlon pursues Greenlee. Opal comes in and comments on the flowers and expresses doubt about the plan, but Erica assures her it is going just right. Kendall bursts in and starts raging at Erica, accusing her of "doing it to me again". She then proceeds to read a story in a cosmetics trade magazine about how the 'nepotism' at Enchantment has made stockholders jittery.

She tells Adam that she doesn't know him and to go away. Adam and Mia go out to the hallway and Adam proceeds to rant about Liza's doctors being quacks. They are not doing enough to cure her if she can't even remember him. Mia accuses him of being 'such a man'. She explains that the way to get through to Liza is to calmly let her get to know him. Remind her of how they met and when they fell in love. Liza needs to learn to trust him to help put the pieces together. Adam goes back in to try that method. Jake comes along and discusses his dislike for Adam with Mia. He is glad that Liza's brain has cut out the portion of her memory concerning Adam. That is protecting her from an unpleasant truth. Inside the room Adam is trying to be gentle and understanding. He asks Liza if he can tell her a story about 'a man and a woman who were meant to be together'. In the hallway, Jake tells Mia that he is over Liza, but Mia doesn't believe him. They discuss when Jake had assumed that Colby was his child, and how it had ripped his heart out to find out that she was Adam's. He has always wanted what was best for Colby. Because Liza had a hand in the deception, he feels he can never fully forgive her. Mia admires him for his deep love of Colby.

He reminds her of his love for Colby, but Liza remembers the deception surrounding the babies conception. She mumbles 'Adam' and looks disturbed. Adam races out to tell Jake and Mia that Liza has remembered him. They all go in to the room. Jake is glad Liza is doing better and he asks Liza to name all of them. When she is able to do so in a halting fashion, he assures her that this is a good thing. He recommends that she get so rest and he and Adam leave. As Mia is leaving, Liza calls out to her and in a stumbling voice asks Mia to get the money out of the bank and protect Colby.
