Leo is drying his hair after showering. When he steps out in to his suite, David, Bianca and Maggie are waiting for him. David checks the bump on his head. After it is determined that Leo is OK, David demands to know how he is affording this suite, which Maggie says rents for $900 a night.When Leo balks at telling them, Bianca threatens to tell them herself. Leo refuses to talk and is angry that Bianca would rat him out. David wants to know if he was robbed as well as being beat up and he says yes, all his money is gone. He claims that it was Vanessa's mad money and not drug money. Leo claims to have earned that money. He doesn't want to be a loser like David, who got everything handed to him, by way of Vanessa's drug money. Leo tells David that he found the key to the locker where the money was stashed, in a potted plant that David always took with him, whenever he moved anywhere. Leo accuses him of being in cahoots with Vanessa, but David denies that. He tells Leo that he must turn the money in to the police, but Leo reminds him that the money was stolen. He is currently as broke as usual. Down in the Lobby, Jackson and Anna are having a confrontation. Jack tells Anna that he will get her fired for her ties to David and his whole family scandal. He accuses her or someone she is protecting, of tampering with the pipes so that the evidence against David and Vanessa was destroyed. Anna tries to defend her honor as a police officer, but Jack just keeps on pounding away about getting her fired. Anna declares that this matter is not business for Jack, it's personal. She then turns her back on him and walks away. She goes up to Leo's suite and hears part of their conversation about the money. She walks in and asks what she has missed. Everyone proceeds to make up a story of where Leo got some money, with Bianca's tale of a lottery win being the most believable. Anna doesn't really buy it, but leaves them alone anyway. After she leaves, David is pissed that they had to lie to her.

Erica and Ryan arrive just then, and along with Kendall, they start trying to cheer Chris up by admiring his progress. He continues to gripe about his legs and how useless therapy seems to be. They refuse to let him wallow in self pity. They gang up on him and start rehashing the events of the evening before, reminding him that he stood up and tried to protect Erica. To change the subject, Chris proposes a game of poker. When they can't decide which kind to play, Kendall suggests strip poker and everyone looks amused. Kendall wins the first hand and the other three remove harmless items like a bracelet, a watch, and a shoe. Ryan ups the stakes by taking his shirt off as part of his next bet. After awhile Ryan thinks this game is too tame and suggests they play for real money. Kendall gets mad and goes out on the front porch, with Ryan at her heels. When Ryan asks her what is wrong, Kendall says that she still doesn't trust Erica. Even in this lighthearted setting, it feels like she is setting Kendall up for something bad.

Erica reluctantly fills in some of the gaps in the history of the bad blood between herself and Kendall. She relates some of the lying and scheming that Kendall did, which caused Erica to hate her. Erica starts to cry and Chris apologizes for causing the tears. Erica tells him that she is crying because she is happy to finally be sharing some of this with him. Out on the porch, Kendall and Ryan continue to argue, but Ryan says they need to stop rehashing all their old hurts and grudges. They never move on with their lives, they just keep the resentment simmering. He tells Kendall to get dressed up fancy and he will be back soon to pick her up. They are going on a date. Inside, Erica and Chris accuse each other of pushing the other one's buttons. Erica laughs and says that must mean they are back on track. Just then Anna arrives, and apologizes for interrupting. Kendall is waiting on the porch when Ryan arrives. They are both dressed up very nicely.

The doctor reminds Adam that she did that while her brain was being compromised by the tumor. Adam informs the doctor that the Feds have a lot of questions about the money and the only way to protect Liza is to have "incompetent" stamped on the discharge papers when she leaves the hospital.
