When the doctor arrived to take Alan for his heart surgery, Alan confessed in front of the doctor, Olivia, Phillip and Alexandra that he switched the charts with the man in the next bed thinking he was getting a healthy man's chart -- not a sicker man's chart. The doctor wanted him to do a stress test to make sure he was healthy and while he was gone Olivia was touched by the fact that he was willing to risk his health to be with her. She cried and Phillip comforted her with a hug that Alex saw. Alan was given a clean bill of health. Back at the house, Alex threatened Olivia with the tape again and Olivia told her to show it to Alan and even called Alan downstairs but Alex thought twice and didn't show it to him. Olivia went upstairs to get freshened up before meeting Alan in the bedroom and while she was alone, she put in the tape of her and Phillip in the elevator and watched it. Phillip went to see Rick and talked about how he feels about Olivia.

Eden tried to get Gus to agree to her moving back into the Santos house but he said "no way." She argued that something was definitely going on because Father Ray wouldn't take Carmen's calls and Tony won't talk to her either and that she needed to be there to find out information but Gus insisted that she not move back in.

Harley had a meeting with the Chief to try to get her job back but the Chief told her that without Phillip dropping the charges on her that his hands were tied but then Gus interrupted the meeting and told Harley that she got a big job offer with the Chicago Police Department and to just forget about Phillip and the charges. The Chief, worried about permanently losing a good detective told Harley she could have her job back immediately. When the Chief left, Harley told Gus she knew he was making it up and was so happy and grateful she asked him to move back in. Of course, he said "yes."

Carmen tried to talk Edmund into having a drink with her and informed him that she thought Danny was dead. He tried to talk to her about it but she said she just needed company not conversation about Danny and invited him to come back to her place with her. He refused and told her it was over between them.

Danny told Cassie that he had been working with the Feds to take down Carmen and his Grandmother but that Carmen got to him a day early. Cassie went upstairs and Carmen was there. Pretending she had tried for days to get a hold of Danny, she told her that since her debt had been paid that she wanted her to give Danny a message. The message was for Danny and the Santos family to stay out of the Beacon because she didn't want people to associate her with them. Carmen made reference that she didn't think she would be seeing Danny for a long time. Cassie returned to Danny and told him that she thinks Carmen thinks he's dead. He tells her that nobody will be safe unless they find his body and to let him die. Cassie refused to let that happen. Carmen called Eden and told her that she needed to change her story to protect her and asked her to move back in to the Santos house.

Reva is yelling for Shayne, waiting for him with lunch for school. Shayne tells her that there is no school, but she wouldn't know that, she was in prison. Josh comes in and tells her that Ross called, they have a meeting with Doris Wolf and the Governor has decided to reevaluate her case. He kisses her, excited that the fact that since Cassie has found Richard's living will everything will be alright. She urgently tells him to call and cancel because the will was a forgery.

Edmund asks Marina if Ross is coming into Company for breakfast. While Marina is giving him a rundown of Ross's usual order, he walks in. Edmund goes and sits down with Ross, uninvited. He informs Ross that he is about to save him from being disbarred.

Olivia is sitting at her vanity, imagining that Phillip is kissing her neck. Alan calls her to his bed and wonders why the doctors were so determined to prevent him from sleeping with his wife. They tell each other "I love you" as Olivia snuggles into Alan's chest, she has a forlorn look on her face and tears in her eyes.

A disheveled Phillip is sitting at the Beacon drinking. Alexandra walks in and asks if he is having single malt scotch for breakfast. He looks up at her and tells her that he is still working on last night. She starts talking about Alan and Olivia and how Olivia and Phillip are supposed to love Alan the most in the world. Phillip tells her to go to hell. She tells him that she is just worried about him. He explains to her that what he has isn't a school boy crush. He tells her that both Alan and Olivia deserve to have a good life. Alexandra starts bashing her and Phillip stops her, saying that she doesn't know her. Phillip tells his aunt that his goal is to stay out of their way. Alexandra looks at him and says "You really are in love with her."

Alan walks into the study and asks where Olivia is planning on going, he wants her to come back to bed. She tells him she will be back but needs to go to the Beacon. Nolan walks in with breakfast, Olivia looks at the tray and removes some items, telling Nolan that Alan can't have them. Olivia leaves Alan asks for the food back, but is denied. He tells his butler that when Phillip wakes up, send him down. Nolan tells him that Phillip didn't come home and Lizzie told him that he was at the Beacon.

Holly arrives at Company and admits to Buzz that she still hasn't come up with a way to tell Ben that his trust fund is gone. Buzz makes a joke about "he has his health" then asks Holly to come with him to get the cranberry muffins out of the oven. Marina walks over to Lizzie handing her a takeout bag. Lizzie tells her that Alan is home recovering and he likes Buzz's corn beef hash and she is going to surprise him. Ben walks in and asks if the girls have seen Holly. Marina, flirting, asks "What's in it for me, if I have?" Lizzie tells Ben that Holy went into the kitchen with Buzz. Ben thanks her and walks away. Marina starts accusing Lizzie of wanting Ben. Lizzie denies it, but Marina refuses to believe her and advises Lizzie to stay away from her man.

Edmund tells Ross that Richard's living will is a forgery. He reminds Ross that since he is an officer of the court he is obligated to report that information.

Josh goes absolutely ballistic when Reva explains that Cassie had the living will forged. He asks who else knows about this and she explains that Edmund does, since he destroyed the actual document. She tells him that, not only does Edmund want her back in jail, he wants Cassie right along side her. Josh rushes out of the house to look for Cassie to make sure she had gotten somebody good to do the forgery.

Holly is rambling about nothing in general. Ben finally tells her to "spit it out, it can't be that bad." She responds, "Yes, it can." She explains that when the stock market went down, so did his trust fund. He thinks she is just relaying a message from his dad and promises to cut back on his spending. Holly shakes her head no, and pulls out some documents. He asks "I lost my money? Is it a lot of money?" She replies that it is not just a lot, it's most of it. She hands him the documents to look over and tries to make light of the situation by saying that "It's like you're on your own now." He answers "No, I'm not on my own Holly. I'm broke. I have nothing."

Lizzie walks in carrying the food she has brought from Company. Alan thanks her and starts opening the bag. She comments on how he doesn't need to be on the special diet. Then she add how much alike they are and then she starts acting sullen. She tells Alan about Phillip making them move out. She says that if they leave, anything could happen. She admits that if they leave, she might slip up and tell her father and Olivia that Alan faked his heart attack. She innocently asks her Grandfather if he understands what she means? He answers yes.

Phillip admits to Alexandra that is more than attracted to Olivia. Alexandra says that he used to talk about Beth with the same look in his eye. She brings up Lorelei's diary being the reason they are no longer together. He tells her that the diary had nothing to do with him and Beth's relationship. She wonders "how you went from the love of your life to the love of your father's life?" He immediately tells her, he isn't going to discuss this with her. She tells him that she is going to take him home. He informs her that he is not quite sure where home is these days, thanks anyway. She kisses her nephew on the head and whispers "She's not worth it." Alexandra leaves. Olivia walks in on the phone and when she hangs up, she notices Phillip sitting there.

Reva is at Richard's grave talking to him. She talks about the situation they are in and how they all have done what they did for love. She then asks him that if he finds a spare minute, to give her a hand "down here."

Phillip and Olivia awkwardly talk about Alan's health. She asks if he is okay and he says he got better acquainted with her martini bar. He then starts laughing, saying it is actually amusing to him. "I left the house last night so that I could try to get away from everything and I ended up getting drunk in a bar named Olivia's." She tells him that it's not funny and laughing he says "It's kind of funny." Josh walks in and starts to ask a question when Phillip interrupts him and asks if he can buy Josh a drink. Josh, obviously aware of Phillip's intoxication, graciously declines, almost laughing at his friend. Josh asks Olivia if she has seen Cassie, she answers no. Phillip says he is going to leave and trips on his way out. Josh asks again if Olivia knows where Cassie is. Olivia snaps at him that she already told him she doesn't, what does he want a lie detector test? She immediately apologized for being rude, blaming it on a bad morning. They talk about their failed marriage and Josh assured her that it takes two to ruin a marriage, it's not just her fault. She asks if he wants her to find Cassie for him. He declines her offer, tells her to take care and leaves.

Alexandra is sitting on a bench looking at the video tape that she has in her purse, startled by a noise she shoves the tape back in her purse, looks up and sees Edmund. She reminds him that he doesn't need to keep tabs on her for Alan they have their own deal. Edmund asks what is wrong with her and she answers it's her conscience. He jokes that he wouldn't recognize his, until he realizes she is serious. She lets him know that she can be as ruthless as the next CEO, but she has "started to think that it is pointless to live that way. It just makes you feel lonely and afraid." Edmund asks, "I suppose it can, but what else do people respect?" Alexandra answers "Forgiveness. It's the greatest weapon of them all."

Lizzie asks if Alan will tell Phillip and make him change his mind. He repeats his granddaughters threat to him and she says yes. He agrees to talk to his son, but he tells her that change is sometimes good. Phillip staggers in and asks "What are you two up to?" Lizzie gives Phillip a hug and tells him that he looks like an unmade bed. She questions him on his night at the Beacon and where he has been. He reminds her that he is the parent and she is the child. Lizzie informs her father that she hasn't been a child for a long time "right grandpa?" Lizzie leaves the room and Phillip tells his father that he is planning on moving out of the mansion. Alan asks what he is afraid of.

Alexandra walks up to Olivia and Olivia tells her that she is tired of the threats and if Alexandra wants to show Alan the tape, then go right ahead.

Reva gets home and Josh, who has been waiting with Ross, asks where she has been. She tells them that she was talking to Richard. Ross comments that he hopes that Richard has some answers for them. Ross informs them of his conversation with Edmund. He gets a call and leaves the room, excusing himself. Josh tells Reva about his talk with Olivia and how it made him realize how much they gave gone through to be together and he wasn't going to let Edmund come between them. Ross comes back in and says that the DA wants to talk to them and is on her way over right now.

Holly walks over to Buzz and tells him that Ben isn't taking it very well. Buzz tells her that it could be a lot worse, he'll survive. Buzz notices that Holly hates giving bad news. He tells her that since Ed came back into town everything between them has changed. He wants to know if they can at least say that after everything they have been through, they have become good friends. Holly answers "You are to good for me" and he responds "Then can I use you as a reference?"

Phillip, still intoxicated, starts talking about how he wants Alan and Olivia to be happy. When Alan asks if Phillip wants to be happy, he answers yes but then starts talking about moving out. Lizzie walks in to hear her father say "I think if I rake the kids and I find a place for us, it'll be better for everybody." After hearing this, Alan looks over at his granddaughter.

Olivia tells Alexandra to "go ahead, take the tape and SHOVE IT in the VCR." She thinks her husbands heart can take it. Alexandra asks her "woman to woman" if when she was making love to Alan last night she was thinking of Phillip? Olivia retorts that she isn't even going to dignify the question by giving an answer. Alexandra says "Spoken like a true and loving wife." She tries to explain to Olivia that her only concern is that her brother is happy. Because of this, she wants to wipe the slate clean and make a fresh start with her sister in law.

Reva is pacing around the house, wondering where Doris is. Ross assures them that she will be there. They are concerned that Edmund has gotten to her. Ross, again, assures them that Doris has a political agenda and they will hear what she has to say soon. The doorbell rings and Reva answers it. Doris is there and asks "May we come in?" Reva, uncertainly asks "We?" Edmund comes up and says "Hello Reva."
