Alan stands outside a door; a woman walks up to him, saying she didn’t expect to see him that day. She says that she saw some stuff on the news; he says not to believe everything that she sees. The woman asks if she should announce him, and he says no, he will go in by himself.  She unlocks the door to room #5 and Alan walks in to find Phillip sitting behind a desk.

Philip looks up and says “Hey Dad, I’m glad you’re here. Come on in.”

Edmund is standing outside Company, looking in the window, as Dinah comes up behind him and asks, “Guess who?” Edmund asks how many guesses he gets and Dinah says, “one”. She asks what is he doing there, and he says he is continuing with the plan to hurt Cassie by making her hurt as much as he and Dinah did. Dinah says that they should torture Cassie later, and that Edmund should join her back at her place. Edmund agrees and they leave.

Cassie and a woman named Janet, who is carrying a big bunch of balloons, are setting up for a kid’s party. Janet asks Cassie if she is sure she doesn’t need more manpower, but Cassie says she should be okay even though her clown cancelled.

Ross walks outside, and Cassie asks if Clarissa is inside. Ross says yes, she is chasing RJ around Company. Ross says that not only is RJ Clarissa’s favorite cousin but that she is planning on marrying him someday. Cassie says that Clarissa has good taste. Ross asks if Dinah is planning on stopping by. Cassie says she doesn’t know, but that Dinah is more than welcome to stop by and stay for a while. Ross says that he hasn’t been able to get a hold of her on her cell phone and that he will stop by the Beacon to see her. He asks if it would be okay to come back and get Clarissa later, and Cassie says yes, although the party might end early due to lack of a clown. Ross laughs and says he can’t help her with that as he leaves, and she jokingly begs him to help her out. Cassie wonders out loud what she is going to do about a clown when Jeffrey walks up and asks if she needs help.

Frank and Mallet are talking at the courthouse. Frank says he is going to the station and asks Mallet if he would like to come for old times’ sake. Mallet says no, he thinks it is time for him to get going. Frank asks if he has a job waiting for him. Mallet says no. Frank asks Mallet to join him since Alan is still on the loose. Mallet says that Harley doesn’t need him hanging around. Harley and Gus run up then; Although Harley is surprised to see Mallet, she seems glad because they have a tip on the whereabouts of Alan. They tell Frank and Mallet about the tip from the docks and they say there is nothing there but an old office complex where he may be hanging out. Harley asks Mallet if he is coming and he says yes, although he is not sure why Alan would still be in Springfield and not out of the country with everyone looking for him.

Alan walks into a perfectly recreated Spaulding boardroom and tells Phillip he looks good. Phillip says he is glad that Alan is there since there are some problems on zoning they need to go over before their meeting. Phillip says he wants to keep Alan involved; Alan replies that he appreciates this. Alan tells Phillip that he has to say goodbye and leave Springfield to protect both Phillip and himself.

Mallet, Harley, Frank, and Gus arrive at the docks. Harley lays out a plan and Frank says that Harley, Gus, and Mallet should stay where they are since they are civilians. Mallet agrees with Frank, but Harley and Gus disagree. Harley says she isn’t afraid of Alan, and she wants to be there when they get him. The foursome starts to look around the abandoned office building, splitting up into groups of two. Harley and Gus go one way and Mallet and Frank another. Gus tells Harley to stop for just a second and she says she didn’t get as far as she did by stopping. Gus says he just wants to protect her. Harley says that she is not only going after Alan for herself, but for Phillip because even after all he did he didn’t deserve to die the way he did.

Alan tells Phillip that he has taken his rightful place at Spaulding Enterprises. He says he is going to step aside and let Phillip continue to do everything on his own. Phillip tells him he doesn’t have to. Alan says that if he leaves then Phillip can run the company until his kids are ready to take over. Phillip asks how the kids are and Alan calls them “perfect little Spauldings”.

Phillip says that he loves them and wants to give them everything they deserve. Alan says that that is what he wants for Phillip. Alan replies that Phillip has board members waiting.

Jeffrey makes some comments about her being a “sexy mama” that make Cassie blush. Feeling a tug at his leg Jeffrey says there is a small dog, and kneels down to the child. The little boy asks him if he is a magician. Cassie tells the little boy to go and tell the others that Jeffardo the Magnificent is there.

Harley and Gus tell Alan not to run but he does and hits a dead end.  When Gus and Harley corner him, he starts to run again and Frank tackles him seemingly out of nowhere. Harley tells Alan that this is her winning. Gus asks him what he was doing there as Frank handcuffs him and Alan sarcastically says he was plotting a plan of secret domination.

Frank takes a handcuffed Alan off to jail. Harley and Gus follow and the camera pans in on room #5.

Edmund hears an evil sounding voice in his head, saying that Dinah is a sweet kid but that she can’t get pregnant. It says that they have to keep Cassie thinking that Dinah is pregnant with Edmund and Cassie’s baby so that he can get her back. The voice tells him that to get Cassie away from Jeffrey she must think that Dinah is still pregnant.

Edmund gets dressed to go to the party, where he knows Cassie is.

Jeffrey is entertaining the kids, and Cassie says he surprised her again. Cassie says that she is playing hard to get when Jeffrey gets a call. Cassie asks if it is good news or bad news.

Alan is at the courthouse, wanting to know what is going on;  why is he there, instead of at the jail getting a mug shot they can post all over the papers. They say he is a flight risk and must keep him in close sight. Harley says he will pay. Alan says he will be exonerated. Alan says that the confession won’t stand up; Gus asks what about the gloves. Alan tells them to bring in Alex, since she has the gloves and she is used to the courthouse. Alan tells Harley that she ruined his life by pushing him over the edge and that she will now ruin Gus’. Harley throws back that she wasn’t the one who ended his life and that nothing will keep Alan from paying.

Gus says he thinks Alan is disgusting. Alan says that they don’t know everything. Harley asks what they don’t know that he better tell them soon since he will be in a tiny little cell.

Dinah wakes up and calls for Edmund. She puts on a robe and finds a letter telling her that he is going to find special champagne to celebrate their “newfound” understanding. There is a knock on the door, Dinah calls out Edmund but it is Ross, she hurries to put on the pregnancy pad and answers the door. Ross hands her a bag of Pringles and milk saying he likes to look after her and the baby. Dinah says that she wishes that Ross could be a true granddad to this baby.

Ross says she will have more babies. She says when he tells her that she believes it, he says she should. She says why does she need a guy to have a baby and Ross says that she would be selling herself short, that she deserves everything. Dinah says she wants a family like Ross’. He hints that she could have a wonderful man who is not Edmund. Dinah compares her and Edmund to Ross and Blake. Ross says he can’t argue with her on that and Dinah celebrates that they are in agreement. She says she will prove to everyone that she and Edmund are real.

Edmund looks in from outside as RJ spots him. Tammy brings Cassie’s attention to Edmund. He says he just wanted to make sure that RJ was having a good time. He tells RJ to go have fun, and Cassie says that he is not intruding, that RJ is glad to see him. They discuss how sad things are between them and Edmund says he didn’t want to make things worse. He says he knows things are hard since this is the anniversary of Richard’s death. Cassie is shocked that he remembers. Edmund says that of course he remembers since Richard was his brother.

Jeffrey calls Cassie and she tells him Edmund was there. She discusses Richard’s death with him, and he says he shouldn’t have left. She thinks things are starting to get better and that he is trying to let go. Jeffrey says to be careful, that Edmund always has something up his sleeve. Cassie says she thinks Edmund is getting the message that she is moving on.

Frank and Mallet discuss how great it is that Harley is out and how good it is for all of the Coopers. Frank tells Mallet to stick around Springfield; Mallet considers it. Frank says that every once in a while when he talks to Eleni, Marina’s mom, she says that no place has ever felt like home since she left Springfield. Mallet says nowhere feels like home but perhaps, possibly, Springfield. Mallet says that maybe he will stick around for a while. Frank is glad to have him back and hugs him.

Gus and Harley are at Harley’s house. She says that home would be nice with walls and doors and plumbing. He says home is where the love is and that therefore in essence Harley is his home. He tells her to close her eyes, picks her up and carries over the threshold. She opens her eyes and gets a wide smile on her face

Alan is told to have a seat by the policeman guarding him. He thinks about the room where Phillip is being held. The camera zooms in on Phillip’s wedding band, as he gets up and stares at a picture of Beth on the wall.
