When Rachel doesn't come home overnight, the Corys become even more worried. While Rachel was unconscious in the clock tower, she has a nightmare where Jordan makes Amanda disappear. Rachel's dreams continue, with Jordan practising mind-control on Alli and Matt. She wakes up, and vows not to let Stark win. Rachel tries to attract attention by stopping the clock, but a fire breaks out. Rachel tries to fight the flames, but was overcome by smoke.

Paulina told Toni that she killed Grant. Joe told her not to say another word. Toni told Paulina to prove it, because all her evidence points to Joe. Everyone was quite emotional, and Joe and Paulina keep trying to protect each other. Joe points out to Toni that he and Paulina were not read their rights, so nothing they said can be used against them legally.

She agrees, but warns him that they will soon have to answer questions officially. Paulina keeps saying it wasn't Joe. Toni gives them some time alone. Joe told Paulina she has to shut up. He says the police are just bluffing. Toni returns to the room. During her search, she found Paulina's suitcase full of money, and asks them to explain it. Joe was surprised to see the money, but told Toni it has nothing to do with the case. She disagrees, since there was so much blackmail going on. She told the officer to keep it as evidence, but Paulina says it's her trust fund money and it's legal. Toni calls the bank to verify this, and Joe asks Paulina what's going on. She says he doesn't want to know, but he insists so she told him it's for Tim. Toni says the bank supports her story that it was her trust fund money, but that Rachel had been reluctant to sign the papers. Paulina told her Rachel signed the papers last night. Toni says that couldn't be, since Rachel was reported missing yesterday. She says this looks like a case of forgery. Toni asks Paulina if she knows where Rachel is, but she doesn't, so Toni takes the money as evidence. Before she leaves, she warns them that she won't be dropping her investigation of them.

Cameron reports to Matt that Stark had been taken to a private clinic, but has since been released. Matt decides to go to Lumina to see what he can learn. David arrives, to Cameron's displeasure, but Amanda lets him in. David notices that she's not wearing her necklace. Alli starts blaming herself for everything, but Amanda told her she's wrong about that, and says she doesn't think Jordan would be stupid enough to hurt Rachel. Amanda gets a headache, and Alli went to get her herbal necklace, because it's the only thing that seems to help. After Amanda puts the necklace on, she gets dizzy, but insists she's fine. She wants to lie down, but Cameron stops her. David told Cameron to leave her alone, but he pulls Amanda close and whispers in her ear, "everything I do was for you." At the same time, he pulls something out of the necklace.

Matt gets to Lumina and yells for Stark to come out. Ms. Allen finds him and tries to calm him down, but he throws her out of the office. He finds the remote that plays the scene of Amanda in the clock tower. Matt realizes this was the trick Jordan used against Rachel. He gets Ms. Allen and demands that she tell him where Rachel is. She swears she doesn't know.

Matt recognizes the clock tower and leaves for it. On his way out, he warns Ms. Allen that Rachel better be OK.

Joe told Paulina they need to tell each other everything, or they will trip over each other's story. She says there's some things he shouldn't know for his own good. Joe convinces her, and she asks if he tampered with evidence to protect her. Joe says he noticed the envelope in Grant's pocket, then later noticed it was gone and figured Paulina took it, so he replaced it with blank pages. He thinks the police may be able to arrest him for tampering with evidence and obstruction, and thinks he should get a lawyer.

But, he told her, he didn't kill Grant, so she needs to stop covering for him, or she'll just get herself in trouble. She says she didn't make a false confession... she really did kill Grant. Joe was shocked, but told her he doesn't blame her after everything Grant has done. He says they'll fight to keep their family together, but they have to think fast because Toni's a good cop and will figure it out. She told Joe her version of events. She found Grant and tried to take the envelope, but he grabbed her. She begged him not to tell about her baby, but he just taunted her until she strangled him. She thinks she can claim self-defense, but Joe says she can't tell anyone what she just told him. Joe suggests they just let Cindy take the fall. She deserves to pay for all the nasty things she's done, and it's the only way to keep their family together. He promises her they'll get through this.

Toni confides to Chris about her case, and how investigating her friends was taking a toll on her. She's pretty sure Paulina was the killer, but can't blame her after everything Grant did to her. She's torn between her loyalty to her friends and her duty.

Everyone was relieved and David Halliday leaves since everything will be ok. Amanda takes off her necklace and Alli was afraid her mom will get headaches again. Amanda informs her that her headache never went away in the first place.

At Cass' office, Anne was watching the video of Charlie's birth, again. Cass knocks on the door since it was locked and Anne scurries to put everything back. She unlocks it and Cass asked why it was locked. She explains that she felt a little safer with it locked. Cass then proceeds to fire her. She asks why and he says that even though she exceeds all expectations, he has decided not to expand his office employment and client cases since he was going to be planning a wedding and going on a honeymoon very soon. He pays her for her time and she leaves. She waits outside the door and listens, only to hear him call Charlie and tell her to meet him and Lila at Carlino's.

At Carlino's, Cameron went up to Gary and the woman and asks what was going on. The lady excuses herself and Gary explains that she was a doctor. He was planning on doing something with security in Europe. Cameron says it sounds dangerous and he doesn't want to go but Gary says that he has to go. He asks if Gary will come back and Gary says he doesn't know. Cameron hugs his brother good-bye, and as Gary walks out the door he asks him to promise him that he will come back. Gary just keeps walking without saying a word.

At Lumina, Matt and Rachel go into Stark's office to find him in a wheelchair. Rachel says it was a nice touch but it doesn't fool her. He asks her what she means, he has been sick and he still is. Matt says the he is very evil and they both could have died. He asks how he got the video of Amanda and Stark plays dumb. Matt grabs the remote and asks Stark to explain what was on the screen, unfortunately for Matt, the only thing on the screen was the security camer shots. Stark explains that the room was filled with sensors and they saw Amanda because they were worried about her and the sensors picked it up and put it on the screen. Neither Rachel nor Matt buy that and they leave.

Josie was talking to Gary Sinclair Jr. and was talking about how the only way that her and Gary would ever have a chance was if he was alive.

At the Cory Mansion, Matt and Rachel are home and everyone was glad to have them back.

Lila says that she didn't even know about the cruise until the other night and Cass and Matt vouch for her. Cass leaves to meet Charlie but Lila stays behind. She follows Matt onto the porch and notices his burn. She tries to convince him to go to the hospital but he won't. Inside, they are still trying to figure out who told Stark and Rachel comes up with David Halliday, Alli defends him.

At Gary Jr's, grave, Gary was talking to him and telling him to watch over his mom while he was gone and to also watch over him. He leaves and Josie comes out from a tree and breaks down and cries.

Lila called Cass to cancel out on their plans. Charlie then invited Anne to join them for dinner. Cass and Anne discussed their concerns for Charlie and any confusion she may have over Anne. They agreed that it would be best if Anne didn't run off but instead stay and join them for dinner.

Lila tried to nurse Matt back to health. Matt flirted with Lila. Lila finally was able to tear herself away and decided to meet Cass after all. Matt was sorry to see her leave.

Cass, Anne, and Charlie enjoyed a lovely dinner and shared some laughs. Cass and Charlie became shocked when Anne started singing a lullaby that Frankie used to sing. Once Cass told Anne what it was she was singing, Anne apologized. Charlie was happy to hear the song being sung especially by someone who sounds like her mom.

Lila then walked in and wasn't too happy to see Cass and Charlie having dinner with Anne. Cass saw her and immediately excused himself and went over to Lila to explain to her. Lila was furious. Cass told Lila that he would explain everything to her later. Lila left.

Lila went home and confided in Matt about Cass and Anne and how Anne looks like Frankie. Cass showed up and was upset to hear that Lila told Matt about Anne. Cass tried to explain the accidental confrontation between Charlie and Anne. Lila looked as though she wanted to believe Cass. Matt jumped in and said that something was wrong and he doesn't believe Cass. Cass and Matt began to argue. Lila interrupted and asked Matt to leave her and Cass alone. Matt obliged and went upstairs. Cass told Lila his suspicion of Anne being connected to Jordan Stark and assured her that he was mistaken. Lila finally was able to believe Cass after he told Lila that Anne was on her way out of town. Lila expressed her suspicion over Anne.

Cass went to pick up Charlie at Carlino's. Matt told Lila how he thought it was ironic for Anne to run into Cass at Carlino's. Lila agreed with Matt and became even more suspicious so she called Gary and Cameron's office and asked them to do a background check on Anne O'Donnel.

He accused Amanda of sounding like a completely different person.

David showed up and was surprised when Claudia told him that Cameron was upstairs with Amanda. David ran upstairs and interrupted by punching Cameron. The two men argued about Amanda.

David and Cameron tried to talk her out of going, but Amanda refused to listen and walked out. The two men ran after her. At Lumina, Amanda demanded to see Mr. Stark, but Ms. Allen refused to let her, Cameron, or David in to see him. Finally David pulled Amanda aside and convinced her that he would have better luck getting in to see Jordan if he says he was representing Rachel and Brava Magazine. Amanda agreed to give it a try. David asked Ms. Allen and she agreed. Ms. Allen escorted David into Jordan's office while Amanda and Cameron waited out in the hallway. Ms. Allen and Jordan began to panic as what to do next. They feared that his secret was on the verge of coming out. Amanda defended David to Cameron. Jordan and Ms. Allen watched Amanda and Cameron through the monitors inside Jordan's office. Cameron tried to warn Amanda about David but she refused to listen. David came out of Jordan's office and told Amanda that Jordan assured him that he has nothing to do with the strange things going on with Amanda. He also said that Jordan agreed to meet with David and Amanda tomorrow. Amanda was amazed at David's accomplishments. Cameron wasn't buying into any of it. David agreed with Amanda that Jordan wasn't being completely honest with them, and that was why he thinks he and Amanda should return tomorrow. David told Cameron that Jordan said he was not allowed back in the building.

Paulina decides to tell him that the police will probably be arresting her for Grant's murder soon. She wants him to go back to school, but he says that he has no money because he tore up Jake's cheque because he didn't want to take money from her friends.

Cindy interrupts them to let them know that, now that she's been cleared, she's going to be making their lives a living hell. Cindy warns them she's going after Grant's estate. She says it's payback for Vicky taking away the only thing she ever cared about... Grant. Vicky tries denying that she wanted Grant, but Cindy says she loved making Grant want her, especially the way she played with his head at the end. Cindy claims it's what pushed him over the edge. She warns them that once she has Grant's money, she'll have power, and she'll use it to ruin them.
