Mitch asks his brother what he’s playing at and Walker replies that no one’s going to let Mitch out. He in turn threatens him if he doesn’t help him pay for his defense. Mitch gets angry that he gives him all of his account information. Mitch tells Walker he can’t do this to him and he replies that he didn’t do anything, because he did it to himself. Walker adds that Mitch is criminally insane and leaves Mitch screaming for the guards and insisting that the man is not who he claims to be. Walker smiles triumphantly but pretends to be upset when he sees Evangeline Williamson. He begs Mitch’s attorney to help him. Mitch demands that his attorney pick up the phone and orders his attorney not to listen to a word his so-called brother says. Mitch assures his attorney that he is not insane, and then tells her the truth, demanding that she act on it. He tells her that his brother deceived him and she wants to concentrate on his defense instead. He tells her to stop the devil, his brother. She assures him that she can’t help him with that, only with his defense, and then informs him that there will be no bail set at the hearing and his only chance is to plead guilty by reason of insanity. He screams at her, slams the phone against the wall repeatedly, and yells at her to get out because she’s fired.

She dresses and to escape from St. Ann’s. Lindsay goes directly to Troy’s place and he asks how she escaped and why she came here. She says she wanted to ask for his help but lost her nerve. Troy assures her that Mitch won’t hurt anyone because he’s in jail. They both admit that they would kill Mitch if they could, but Troy’s a lot more graphic, right before he kisses her passionately and with fervor. He breaks away from her and she tells him she has to go back to St. Ann’s. He’s shocked at his own actions and uses Lindsay’s scarf to wipe his mouth and then drops it on the ground. She returns to her room at St. Ann’s, soaking wet, and gets into bed. Moments later Troy comes in and closes the door. They kiss, again.

Finally she sees her son and tells him she should have been invited, and hopes she will be to his next wedding. Jen tells her husband she wants to go back to Llanview and Max and Roxy congratulate them and then say good-bye. He asks her if she really wants to go and she insists. She asks if he won at poker and he responds ‘not exactly’. Max insists that he won’t gamble or drink with Roxy because of what it leads to. Roxy has Max blow o the dice while she gambles and he gets a little bored and frustrated, especially because she hasn’t been winning.

They swear that all is well and then depart.
Kevin tells Blair he doesn’t like a beautiful woman to drink alone and orders a drink. She assures him that she’s waiting for Dorian, and Walker.

Then he demands to see the ring and tells Cristian that he needs to treat his sister well. She asks about his taking over the Banner and he fills her in. Viki, meanwhile, asks Asa to stop encouraging Kevin since he’s already too much of a risk-taker. Asa tells her to spend her time on the university instead. Natalie tells Asa that Kevin reminds her of Asa, straight to the point. Natalie mentions to her mother the fact that Flash is Sarah, assuming she already knew, and Viki’s taken aback at first but then realizes it must be true.
After hearing the news, Viki immediately interrupts Flash and Nora’s meal and asks Flash why she didn’t reveal her identity to her family. She says she just didn’t want anyone to know. Flash immediately goes to Joey and demands to know why he revealed her identity to her aunt but he assures her that he didn’t. He’s immediately unhappy when he sees Jen and Rex arrive hand in hand. He tells Flash it wasn’t him and she asks if it was Jen. Then Viki comes over and asks Joey if he knew about what Natalie told her regarding Sarah. She interrupts and says that she doesn’t want everyone to know, especially Tina. Viki says no one knows where Tina is so she couldn’t tell her anyway but that she’s going to tell her father. Sarah says she doesn’t want him to worry. Viki assures her that her family loves her and promises to take care of her. Viki tells Asa she’s going home to check on Jessica.
