She says she was just testing him, for Blair. She tells Walker that Blair’s out for the night. Walker says he can’t get together with anyone, even someone as beautiful and as interesting as Dorian. She tells him he’ll have to do a lot better at kissing up.
Starr comes out and tells Walker that she kept his secret and he says no wonder Todd’s so proud of her and thinks she’s so smart and brave.

She asks if Todd ever said anything about Jack and he replies that Todd said Jack drools a lot and his diaper always needed changing. Starr introduces him to Jack and he says that Jack’s getting bigger. Then he comments that Todd also said he wishes he could get to know Jack a little better and tell him how much he loves him.

Blair agrees to listen to Kevin’s pitch, but only because she lost the bet. She asks and he replies with an embarrassed smile that the Banner beat the Sun because Kevin bought the papers himself. He orders Blair a drink and she brings up Kelly. She wants to make a bet that she can win, that Kevin’s wife has no idea what he’s up to. He assures Blair that Kelly knows everything and it doesn’t bother her. He pulls her close and kisses her and Walker watches as Blair pulls away. Blair walks away mad and threatens to call Kelly and tell her. Kevin insults the Sun and Blair says she won’t betray Todd. He asks about Todd ever betraying her. Then the bartender tells Kevin that his car is leaking oil.
Walker comes up to Blair and asks her to dance. They dance together slowly and Kevin interrupts, assuming that Walker was responsible for the oil leak. Walker admits to it. Blair asks him why he would do that and Kevin explains that nothing’s wrong with the car and Walker simply paid the bartender to lie. He says he did it so Kevin would stop bothering her and they begin to argue over Blair. Walker says he wonders what his wife’s doing tonight and when Kevin says he’s as bad a jerk as Todd Manning, Walker pushes him. Blair yells at them to stop and a cell phone ringing breaks it up as all three of them reach for their phones. Blair takes off and Kevin calls his people to check the scanners to see if anything’s breaking. Walker orders a drink and Dorian comes up to him and says that she knows exactly what he’s up to.

Then Rex walks by Joey and smirks and Al needs to stop him again from doing something stupid.

Pretending to be Colin, Troy and his friend admit Lindsay, “Joanna”, into a psych ward, in a cell alone. Troy asks the friend to take care of Lindsay and make sure she stays safe but locked up. The friend promises Joanna will be alright since he thinks of his patients as family. Lindsay asks if he can speak to her daughter and the man says that the patients cannot use phones. Lindsay asks him to call Jen himself then so Jen can tell him that this is all a big mistake. Troy comes to see Nora, at her request, and he says he’s been out of town. Then he plays dumb when she says that Lindsay disappeared around the same time that he did. Nora closes the door and tells him that she knows he went to visit Lindsay the night she left. He says he was visiting another patient and simply ran into Lindsay. He swears it was the last time he saw her and wonders why Nora’s accusing him since he wouldn’t want Lindsay to get out of St. Ann’s. Nora suggests perhaps he did it to keep Lindsay quiet. The doctor tells Lindsay that according to her file she has no children and they need to learn to tell the difference between fantasy and reality. Once alone Lindsay starts to repeat who she is, to herself, and gets scared that no one will come for her and she’ll be stuck here forever.
Nora reminds Troy that he was Lindsay’s alibi the night of the murder and Troy gets angry and swears he wasn’t on the docks and he didn’t have sex with Lindsay. She plays devil’s advocate and she suspects that he killed Mitch so he could keep his medical license by keeping Mitch silent. He says that would make him as crazy as Lindsay and she says he’s been doing some really crazy things lately, such as his crazy active social life.

Then Riley tells Flash their song has made the charts, number forty-nine. Then they kiss in celebration and Joey looks on, happy for them. But then he looks over at Jen, then walks over, and Jen smiles at him and then starts to strip on stage as everyone cheers on, except for Joey, and Rex, and of course a disgusted Flash.

A man comes up to Troy and thanks him for treating his wife last month. The man says she’s doing great, thanks to Troy, and thanks him profusely.
