The spirit of Brad popped into his old house, and he watched his beloved Katie setting the breakfast table for two. He watched her fuss over the coffee and Danish, and then the doorbell rang. The visitor was Margo, who was just checking up on her baby sister, and she was disappointed that baby Jacob was asleep. She did check out Katie's new alarm system which Margo had insisted she install because of the impending trial of Ralph Manzo. Margo noticed the breakfast for two, just as a man arrived at the door.

"Brad" was stunned to see the man enter, and he groaned that "grass wasn't even growing" on his grave yet, and Katie already had a date. He was mistaken, however, and Katie introduced Margo to Tom Jones, a psychic who was going to do a séance. "Brad" changed his ethereal mind in a hurry and was delighted that he might get to talk with Katie again.

Margo asked to speak privately with Katie, and they went into the bedroom. Margo wanted to know what Katie was doing, so her sister explained that she had been experiencing weird sensations lately, and she was worried that Brad was trying to contact her. Katie claimed the psychic was highly recommended, and she was determined to go through with it. Tom called out from the living room that he was getting "a powerful vibration," but he cautioned Katie that he could not work if there were any "doubters" in the room, and he glared at Margo. Margo took the hint and said her goodbyes, and then Tom asked Katie for cash up front.

"Brad" tried to make his presence known to the psychic, but it didn't take long for him to figure out that the man was a fraud. "Brad" was desperate, so he departed and surprised Henry, who explained that he could no longer try and help his friend because of Katie's restraining order. "Brad" complained that Katie was dealing with a psychic who was a phony, and he asked for advice. Henry said that since Brad was a ghost, he should "creep out the con man."

"Brad" popped back home and attempted to tell Tom Jones to leave his wife alone. Jones, however, translated that to Katie as, "Your husband wants you to move on with your life and find someone new." "Brad" was outraged, and he used all his strength and power and kicked Jones right out of the chair. Katie was alarmed and wanted to know why Brad was so angry, so she asked Tom to sit down again. Jones refused to go anywhere near the chair.

The psychic said that the house was "unclean," and had "bad vibrations," so he cancelled the session and made a break for the door. "Brad" was ecstatic that he had finally made contact on the other side, but he could not move the chair again no matter how hard he tried.

Henry went to see Margo at the station, and she said she could not do a thing about Katie's restraining order. The District Attorney's office called and asked Henry to stay at the station, as they were sending over and Assistant DA to give him advice on his testimony in the Manzo trial. Henry told Margo that the psychic that Katie had hired was bogus, and Margo was curious as to who had told that to Henry. Henry claimed he had a source "on the other side." "Brad" appeared suddenly and bumped into Henry, who was carrying a cup of coffee, and both of them felt the physical contact. "Brad" was hopeful that if Henry went to see Katie that perhaps they could all make contact. Henry said he had to think about the trial right then, so "Brad" said he would try and contact Katie himself.

Henry called several lawyers, all of whom hung up on him when they learned he was testifying against Ralph Manzo. Henry got irritated and declared that he didn't need "no stinking lawyer," and he marched out of the station. One of Manzo's goons, picked up his trail immediately and followed.

Margo got to thinking, and she went back to Katie's house and asked how Henry knew that she had hired a psychic. Katie had no idea, and she said she had certainly not told him; in fact, she wasn't even speaking to Henry. Katie told Margo about the incident in which Jones flew out of the chair, and Margo said that she had been thinking a lot lately about Katie's dad, Casey Peretti. She confessed that after she had pulled the plug on his life support, as per Casey's instructions, she felt his presence and she was relieved of all feelings of guilt.

After Margo left, Katie looked hard at Brad's photo and implored him to help her. "Brad" stood in the room near his wife and began to concentrate very hard.

At Memorial, Luke got the good news that the staff was moving Noah out of intensive care and into a regular room. Luke was relieved and asked Damian to call his mother and give her an update, while Luke went to wait for Noah in his new room. Damian called Lily, who was supervising the movers who were delivering and placing Damian's clothes and personal items in her house. Damian said how eager he was to begin his new life with her, but Meg walked up and overheard that part of the conversation. When Damian hung up, Meg said that if he was about "to play house" with Lily, then he needed to tell her the truth.

Meg reminded Damian that Officer Grady was apt to show up unannounced at any time. She even mentioned the fact that Damian could be deported from the country for breaking laws, but Damian was distracted by Luke's unhappiness about Noah. Meg said if Damian moved in before telling Lily the truth, Lily would never forgive him. Meg wanted to be the one to tell Lily how Damian had hidden the fact that Holden was probably still alive when they had married, but Damian forbade it.

After Lily hung up from talking to Damian, Holden appeared and saw the movers. He asked if Damian was moving in, and if that was so, she should save some of the boxes because they would need them when he moved the kids out. Lily got furious, but Holden said he needed to do whatever he could to protect his children from the man he hated most. Holden also blamed Damian for Noah's accident and said Damian should never have interfered with the Dean. He and Lily traded more harsh words, and finally Holden demanded that Lily bring the kids to the farm by sundown.

Noah arrived in his private room with his head and eyes still bandaged. He told Luke that he understood about the bandages, and the doctor returned to remove them. Dr. Logan asked Luke to step outside, but Noah said he wanted his boyfriend there.

The doctor removed the eye bandages, but the Noah panicked when he opened his eyes but could not see. Dr. Logan examined Noah's eyes and said the blindness could be just temporary, but Noah was fearful about what the doctor didn't say. He panicked and ordered Luke out of his room so that he could be alone.

Luke gave his boyfriend some space, but then he returned. Damian stayed at the open door, as Noah began reciting all the things he could no longer do if he lost his sight. He was most concerned about finishing his film project, and declared himself the world's first blind movie director. He said without any humor that they'd love him at Sundance. Noah began blaming Damian for interfering in his life, but Luke said that he was the one at fault. He apologized for acting stupid and jealous, and Noah threw him out of his room again.

Damian heard all of that conversation, so he immediately called Lily and told her that Noah appeared to be blind. He said Luke was devastated, and Lily said she would go to the hospital right away.

Holden went to the farm looking for Emma. He found Meg instead, since Emma had Eliza out looking for Thanksgiving decorations. Holden told his sister that he was moving his kids to the farm because Damian was taking his place at Lily's. Meg said that no matter what their motives, neither she nor Holden wanted Damian living with Lily. She also hinted that things might change soon, and that Holden had no need to force the issue. Holden wanted to know what Meg knew that he didn't, but Meg wasn't saying any more. Holden was afraid that Damian had told Meg he would go back to her, and he angrily declared that that whatever promises Damian made to her, he would break.

Lily arrived at the hospital and was talking with Noah when Luke and Damian entered. Noah always asked who had arrived, so Lily said that the three of them had a proposition for him. She told Noah that the family wanted to adopt him, and their lawyers had said that Noah was not too old. Noah, however, asked why he would want to be part of their family. Damian said that all they needed was Noah's assent on the adoption, but Noah said he wanted no part of Damian or anyone like him, namely Luke. He ordered them all out, but Luke refused to go.

In the hall, Damian was upset, but Lily told him that he had only been trying to help. Damian asked that if he had done something horrible but with good intentions if Lily could ever forgive him. They hugged, as Meg walked up. Noah's social worker arrived, as well, and Lily pled with her to talk with Noah about accepting their help. Lily went to talk with Dr. Logan, and Meg approached and asked Damian if he had told Lily the truth about keeping Holden's survival a secret from her. Damian felt threatened, and he asked if he could call her later. Then Damian got an idea, and he walked away with Meg.

Noah stated that he would not allow Damian to adopt him just to soothe the man's guilty conscience. Noah kept asking Luke to be quiet, and he wanted to speak only to the social worker. Noah said if he went along with the adoption, he would be saying that he was okay with what Damian did by interfering with Mason. Luke begged his boyfriend to take their help.

Holden arrived at the hospital and asked for Noah's room number. He took a call on his cell as Lily approached and informed him that Damian was not in Noah's room if Holden wanted to visit. Holden spoke only a few sentences on the phone and then hung up and told Lily that he had to leave town on personal business. He assured her that nothing had changed, however, and when he returned, he would be moving the kids.

Holden went into Noah's room and heard the young man agree to the adoption. Everyone left, but no one knew where Damian was. Damian and Meg had escaped to his room in the Lakeview, where Meg was sure they would enjoy a romantic interlude. Damian, however, picked up the phone and asked Meg to call Officer Grady in Kentucky and tell him that the Snyder family had decided not to pursue charges against him. Meg said she had already tried to call him, but Grady would not take her word for it.

Meg pushed Damian, however, by saying that sooner or later, the cop would contact Lily directly. Damian then promised that as soon as Noah was settled in the house, he would tell Lily the whole story. Meg guessed that Lily would turn her back on Damian, but she swore she would never do that to him. She pushed him against the back of the door and locked it. Then Meg asked Damian to show her just how much he appreciated her, and they began kissing and taking off their clothes.
