At the hospital, John is there wtih Jill. At the office Kay was overcome with the stress from what has been going on and she passed out. They have put Kay in the hospital for stress and dehydration. There is still no word on Billy and Mackenzie. Raul is there and he is beating himself up for not knowing better than telling Ralph everything that wanted to know to find Billy and Mac. Ralph came to the coffeehouse dressed as a cop and he got all the information that he needed from Raul to find the kids. Now they are missing. John thinks that the police will find the kids and that they shouldn't worry unneccessarily.

It is night now and the police come and find Mac and Billy who are alone. They have been there ever since Larry found them and fought with Ralph. The both of them went over the cliff and haven't been heard from since. Billy is hurt and lying on the ground with his head in Mac's lap. He tried to help Mac out when Ralph tried to attack Mac, but ended up getting hurt instead. Mac tells the police that Ralph and Larry went over the ledge. The cops can't see anything now, not even with their flashlights. They will have to do a search for the two men. Mac continues to console Billy. He hasn't gotten up off the ground yet, but he is alive. Thank God for that. It is all over thanks to Larry saving their lives. Sirens are heard in the distance. Mac hopes that Larry is fine. She is sure that he will be when they find him. Mac and Billy are taken to the hospital and Raul, John and Jill are there to see Billy brought in on a stretcher. He is in bad shape with his head bandaged and intr! avenous lines in him. Mac walks in by herself with her head down after the stretcher has been brough in. Amanda runs to her daughter asking if she is allright. She moves to touch her daughter but Mac pushes her hands off her asking, "It is true mother? Did you help Ralph?" Amanda just stares at her stunned as if she has been bitten by a rabid dog. Amanda admits that she knew that Ralph was there. Mac knows all that she needs to. John tells Amanda to leave Mac alone. The girl has been traumatized. John pushes her out of the way and goes to Mac takig her to a chair. He would like to know what happened. Jill would like to know eerything. Amanda stands by and listens. She tells that Billy thought that he killed Ralph and so Ralph hit Billy in thehead with a rock. First Ralph wanted money from Kay but then it turned into something else. John wants the whole story. Mac tells them that Ralph wanted her as he always has. At the lake, he tried to get her with a knife in her hand. Larry! showed up because of Raul telling him where they might be. Mac turns to him. Raul has saved their lives. Mac isn't sure if Larry is fine or not. She explains about the fight that Larry had with Ralph. The cliff there is pretty steep, a long way down. The police are down there looking for Larry now. They realize that Larry may be dead. If he didn't show up when he did... They all owe Larry a huge debt of gratitude. This nightmare is finally over. The doctor comes to talk to the group. There is no skull fracture. Billy needs plenty of recovery time and limited activity. He is going to be fine. The doctor is going to keep Billy for a day or two. They can see him now but not for long. Jill and John make their way to see their precious son. They kiss his face. He seems to be fine. Jill is grateful for a whole lot...Mac is worried about Larry and if he is still alive or not. Raul tells her that she shouldn't worry. Everything is going to be okay. Amanda stands away from the others ! thinking on what has developed.

Nikki tells Victor that she knows everything about his trip. He has returned to Genoa City and has found her with Mr. Hollister who has since left. Nikki is mad as hell and Victor can't figure out why. Turns out that Victor didn't know that he was on television the night before. He is totally oblivious to the show that was on slinging crap at the Newman name. Leanna Love was the culprit that put the story of Victor on the air. As if that were a surprise. There were even pictures this time so if anyone doubted what she was saying, they really couldn't as they got to see Victor in action this time. "Everything that you ever wanted to know about Victor Newman". That was what it was called. She thinks that he went off to see his old lovers and that shouldn't bother Nikki but it does. Victor thinks that she should trust him but it is obvious that she doesn't. What bothers her is the way that everything was presented to her. He didn't even tell her where he was going this ! time. Sometimes he does that, but this time makes a huge difference considering he was going to give her a ring and get engaged to her for the hundreth time. He tells her that things didn't happen the way that she thinks. Nothing underhanded happened when he was away. She says that she even saw him making out in the diner with Hope. Victor denies that anything like that happened. Nikki hated the show but she continued to watch it out of morbid curiosity. Why shouldn't she watch it? She is the fool of it all. She is the one that looks like a joke to everyone now. She jokes that Leanna wasn't there for the other visits insinuating that he saw even more women than she thinks.. What other visits is she referring to, Victor wonders? He knows that she is doing this because of what other people think and he is shocked that she is falling into that trap. He tells her again that nothing happened and that she is being ridiculous. He can't defend himself to her as she thinks that she saw! everything that had to be seen.

She is embarrassed in front of the entire world again. People talk about her constantly going back to Victor thinking that she is a fool but she still does it. She worries about what the kids might be thinking about this. He didn't see the show himself but he did see the kids and they were fine. They are going to hear about this with the rest of town if they haven't already. She finds him reckless and inconsiderate. This time he has topped himself for all time. He didnt' consider her feelings a little bit. What happens to her when she walks into a beauty shop or the gas station? He admits that he didn't think about this happening to her. It is clear that she isn't going to listen to him so he asks her a question. Why would he have to do something as she suggested? She can come up with a few possibilities. Maybe he went back to his former conquests to see if they can still be seduced... She is sure that he was doing this. She thinks that he was out shopping to see what he co! uld get. She wants to know now what he really was doing. He hates being put in the position of having to disprove what he was doing. If she chooses to believe Leanna Love, then so be it. The reason for his trip had nothing to do with the women, he says. This had to do with him. She agrees. He was probably feeding his needs. She is crying now. She gets up and runs up the stairs. He shakes his head behind her. He reaches into his pocket and takes out the giant diamond ring that he purchased for her. As he thinks about what he is going to do now, the ring glistens in the light.

Sharon can't settle for that. She pries to find out what is on Nick's mind. She gueses that this may have something to do with Diego. Nick is surprised that she has guessed that.

She learns that this is about Victor who is up at the main house now and not Diego. Victor must have his hands full right about now. He has some serious explaining to do.
