Chris Hughes is finding life at the top isn’t as easy as he thought it would be, especially since he knows he really didn’t earn it. Chris is doing everything he can as a liar, and as a doctor to keep Bob from regaining consciousness and telling the world that Chris had actually been fired just before bob collapsed. Dusty is certainly doing what he can to let the world know Chris is not a wonderful doctor that Bob had faith in.

Dusty wants Emily to pull her story commending Chris for a job well done. Emily refuse and they argue. Dusty mentions the fight he overheard which triggers a memory for Emily. She isn’t willing to admit that maybe her ex-lover is right but she is suspicious now of Chris’ motives, remembering Chris admitting to the fight with Bob. Emily stands her ground as a reporter and defends her man only inspiring dusty to keep moving forward until he gets someone to listen.

It may not take long before Dusty has an ally. Tom is finding many of Chris’ decisions as a doctor and a son quite peculiar. Dusty has hopes of finding support in Lucinda who believes Dusty is jealous because Chris is with Emily. Kim overhears Lucinda and Dusty disagreeing about Chris’ action. Kim demands that Dusty speak his mind if he is talking about her son. Dusty has no problem telling Kim the truth. She takes heed of his warning that Chris isn’t all that she believes he is. Kim calls Chris insisting that they talk. Kim asks Chris about the fight. He admits to a minor argument but does not share with his mother the entire truth, tap-dancing around what Dusty knows. Kim returns to Dusty telling him to keep his mouth shut until he has proof. That’s certainly what Dusty intends on getting. He knows Chris is hiding something and he is going to find out what it is.
