Erica says she can shut it down since Jane sold the hospital to him, not her. David says that Erica can take him to court but then will never know who else he might have saved. Erica follows David out of the room and tells him not to play games. David tells her that he has saved someone else but that won't matter to anyone if he loses the hospital but it's her call.

Liza asks JR if that was the only copy of the tape he has. She tells him not to lie to her. JR says there isn't another copy. Liza wants the copy he has because he doesn't need it.

Zach tells David that he just got a text from a friend in DC that Griffin wants to talk to the FDA about Orpheus. David worries that he never should've brought Griffin in on this because he has the power to bring it all down unless they stop him.

Ryan thinks David is just really desperate by bringing up Gillian. Greenlee wonders if he could be telling the truth. Ryan assures her that he's not and says they need to stick together. Ryan and Greenlee hug. Greenlee asks if he's ready for bed. He tells her that he will be up in a minute so she heads upstairs. Ryan gets up and steps outside through the back door.
