At the hospital, Rick informs Olivia that because the bleeding and the contractions have stopped, she is expected to have a healthy baby. Phillip requests to see Olivia. When Phillip comes in, Olivia apologizes to him for not letting him see her before. She explains to Phillip that it had to do with Lizzie. She tells him that she believes Lizzie caused her fall. Phillip doubts her, so Olivia tells him that Lizzie sent Ben up to the cabin and Tammy and Cassie know this as well. She continues to explain that Lizzie told her before that the carpet was ripped, and she had it fixed. The day she fell, the carpet had been ripped again, and that's how she fell. Phillip asks her why she didn't tell him in the first place that she suspected Lizzie of setting up her fall. Olivia tells him that she knew he wouldn't hear it. She tells Phillip that she can't see him anymore because it is the only way to protect their baby from his daughter. Phillip still doubts that Lizzie had anything to do with the fall, and after Olivia explains how things went down, he tells her that it sounds to him that Lizzie was trying to prevent the fall by calling out to her. Olivia questions Phillip whether protecting himself from the truth is worth their baby's life. Phillip tells her to be reasonable, and Olivia demands that he leave. Rick comes in due to the loud voices to see if everything is alright, and Phillip steps out.

At the Spaulding home, Alexandra is looking for Lizzie because she didn't show up for work. Lillian shows up and tells Alexandra that Beth and Lizzie have taken a trip. Lillian refuses to tell Alexandra where they are. Alexandra tells Lillian that the rest of the family have a right to know what is going on. Lillian tells her that Lizzie is sick, not physically, but emotionally sick. Alexandra thinks they are jumping to conclusions. The turmoil she has had in her life, and the erratic behavior from her mother, Alexandra thinks Lizzie deserves to have some issues. Lillian tells her that Beth is hardly the only unstable member of Lizzie's family. Lillian tells her that the Spaulding way to handle things is to write a check to fix the problem, and they need to let Beth handle the situation the way she feels fit. Lillian demands they leave Beth and Lizzie alone. Lillian tells Alexandra that she has worked in a hospital for many years, and she recognizes a disturbed child when she sees one. Lillian reminds Alexandra about Lizzie's problems at boarding school, when she sent Ben up to the cabin, and when she probably set up Olivia's fall. Lillian mentions that Beth may put Lizzie in a mental hospital, and Alexandra throws a fit. Lillian leaves, and Alexandra tries to reach Alan.

At the museum, Marah arranges a protest. The group plan to protest the Dean insisting that the Mole be taken off the college radio station. Marah questions Sandy, the Mole's assistant, why the Mole didn't show up. Marina tells Marah that it is probably because the Mole has made a living bad mouthing people, and now those same people are defending him. It's probably embarrassing for him. Remy reminds the crew that his dad, the Dean, rarely changes his mind about anything unless it's an act of God. Shayne feels that Marina dragged him along for the protest because she is trying to avoid making a decision regarding Ben's trust fund. Shayne tells Marina that taking the money means she would not have to worry about financial concerns with college tuition. Sandy talks to Marah about Tony. He tells her that he thinks Tony is a pretty good guy. She immediately changes the conversation and makes a speech to the protest crew. She tells them that it is not just about free speech, it is about making a difference. She tells them that without working together and taking action, nothing changes. Marina stands up and tells Shayne that she knows what she is going to do with the money and leaves. Sandy suggests that they do the radio show on the top of a billboard outside campus and refuse to come down until the Dean surrenders. Sandy tells them that the Mole is afraid of heights. Marah tells them that she is not afraid of heights at all. She offers to do the show herself, and tells him that she expects that they will promote her fashion show on air.

Afterwards, they both fall asleep, and Cassie dreams of a conversation she is having with Richard. Richard's back is turned, and she tells him that she is happy now and that couldn't have ever happened if he didn't teach her how to let go and how to love.

Harley meets Gus at Company. Harley explains that she is a little worn out because Beth dropped James off at her house. Beth needed to go out of town for a while. She explains that the kids are at day camp right now. In the meantime, Gus gets a call from Phillip. He is insisting that they stay put because he wants to talk to them. Phillip shows up and tells them that Olivia is doing much better, and the doctors feel she will carry the baby to full term. His main reason for coming to them is because Beth and Lillian have taken Lizzie and James someplace without telling anyone where they are going. He explains that their cell phones are turned off, and he can't reach either of them. Harley explains that Lizzie may be with Beth, but James is with her ­ or day camp right now. Phillip explains that he may need their help. Lizzie may be having some problems of her own right now, but Phillip's main concern is Beth. He claims that he doesn't know what frame of mind Beth is in right now, or what she intends on doing with Lizzie. Gus tells him that if he wants them to help, he needs to explain the problems with Lizzie. Phillip explains everything from Lizzie telling Ben where Marina was to supposedly ripping the carpet intentionally for Olivia to fall. Harley tells Phillip that Beth might jump to conclusions, but Lillian seems to be supporting Beth. Gus explains that there is nothing he can do legally because Beth is a custodial parent, but he could hire the best detective in the town to find all three of them ­ Harley. Harley had a little resistance, but Phillip and Gus finally convince her to except the job. Phillip gives Harley Beth's license plate number from the car she rented. Gus tells Harley that he will run the APB on the car while Harley goes to the hospital to see Olivia.

Beth and Lillian rented a rustic retreat. Lizzie tries to sneak out the door, but just as she opens the door with her things, Lillian shows up and stops her. Lizzie tells Lillian that her mother has lost it. Lillian tells her that this is the most rational she has seen her in years. Lizzie wants to leave, but Lillian explains that they are in the middle of nowhere. Lizzie asks what they want, and Lillian tells her that she wants answers and honesty, and she is willing to wait there until she gets it from her. Lizzie tells her that it sounds like a torture session, and Lillian comments that it is an intervention. Lillian wants Lizzie to explain why she sent Ben up to the cabin. Lizzie claims that Ben made her tell him where Marina was. She had to tell Ben, or he would kill her. Lillian doesn't buy into her excuse. Lizzie admits that she willfully told Ben where Marina was. Lizzie tells Lillian that what happened to Marina was her own fault because she played with Ben and Shayne. Lillian questions whether Lizzie did what she did to get what she wanted ­ Shayne. Then, to get what she wanted with her father, she set up the fall to make Olivia lose the baby so that she could have her father all to herself. Lizzie tells Lillian that she didn't make Olivia fall that day. Lillian continues to pressure her, but Lizzie tells her that if she doesn't get out of here real soon, something horrible is going to happen. Lizzie runs into her room and shuts the door. Lillian continues to knock on the door and insists that Lizzie let her in, but she doesn't answer.

At the hospital, Harley arrived with Gus to question Olivia. Gus left to put an APB on Beth's car. Armed with flowers, Harley attempted to make nice with Olivia, but Olivia was hesitant. Harley explained what she had in common with Olivia's situation; A child of Beth's broke up her relationship with Phillip also. Harley cautioned Olivia not to let Phillip make her crazy. Harley asked to hear Olivia's side of the story regarding Lizzie and the fall. Harley reassured her that she already believed her and they discuss what happened. They discussed the futility of trying to get away from the twisted Spaulding circus. Harley informed her that Beth took Lizzie out of town for an intervention and she was helping Phillip to find them. Olivia begged Harley not to bring witch Lizzie back to town. Harley was still determined to take the case and to help Phillip because she believed he had the right to be involved. Later, Gus joined Harley and told her they found Beth's car approximately 40 miles outside of town.

At the courthouse, Alex informed Alan of the recent occurrences with Lizzie and Beth. Jeffrey approached and quipped "Which Spaulding broke the law this time?" They assured him they were there on Spaulding business. Jeffrey taunted them by asking about Beth and describing her as beautiful and ravishing. After cautioning the two scamps to stay out of trouble, Jeffrey left them. Enflamed, Alan threatened that if that man even lays a lustful stare at Beth, he'll kill him.

The usually casual DA was dressed in a suit. Jeffrey was talking to someone on the phone about Mitch Hendon. Ross and Jeffrey were there to meet with a judge regarding Ben Reade and the murders. In the courtroom, the Judge requested that Jeffrey approach the bench. She wondered why one of the five murder indictments wasn't being addressed. The Justice Department swooped in on the Mitch Hendon case very quickly. The Judge inferred that Jeffrey might have something to do with the linguistics. Jeffrey challenged her and pledged his allegiance to the city of Springfield. The Judge dismissed the case due to Ben's death and stepped down from the bench. Afterwards, Ross questioned Jeffrey that he must have friends in high places to take on that judge. Jeffrey responded with "If I told you, I'd have to kill you." Then quickly said it was a joke. Ross insisted and Jeffrey pleaded the fifth.

Eden and Bill woke up tangled in their satin sheets. They had some pillow talk about their feelings. Eden reassured Bill that she wanted him, not Tony. Later at Company, they ran into Gus.

At Company, Cassie and Reva had lunch together. Cassie described her dream about Richard turning into Jeffrey. Cassie compared Jeffrey to death, unavoidable and inescapable.

Reva phoned Josh and asked him to meet her. Later at the farm, Reva began trying to seduce Josh who was in business mode assessing the farm's renovations. Josh questioned her intentions and was hesitant. Reva pushed him down and began force feeding him a chocolate covered strawberry. Josh continued to question her motivations. Reva described the thrills of first falling love. Josh's mind flashed to seeing Reva in Christopher's arms and hesitated again. Reva yelled at him "I am loving you and you are gonna love me right back, right now." Josh joked about being made to feel cheap, then they kissed passionately. They reassured each other that they will never let anything come between them again. They began making love to the soundtrack of a lusty female voice singing:
"I've got you under my skin
I've got you deep in the heart of me
So deep in my heart, that you're really a part of me
I've got you under my skin"

Danny's wanting a romantic evening at home, but Michelle tells him that he'll have to wait. She has files that she has to drop off at the hotline office. Danny wants to go with her, but she insists that he stay there with their son. Michelle heads out and decides to take a short cut. A man approaches her and demands she give him her bag. She tells the man that she doesn't want any trouble. She tells him that she will give him her money, but she needs to keep the bag. They struggle and they both fall to the ground. The man stands up and asks Michelle if she is okay, and then he helps her up - Not the typical criminal. He hears police sirens, and takes off. Frank shows up and offers to have her checked out at the hospital. She claims that she is fine. Frank tells them that they caught the mugger. Danny questions Frank about the mugger. When Frank tells him the mugger was only 18 years old, Danny wonders where the boys parents are or whoever is responsible for him. Father Ray shows up and tells them that he is responsible for the boy. The boys parents were killed six years ago when they refused to pay Carmen protection money. The boy went to Father Ray and begged him to hide him so that he wouldn't be taken away. The boy lives in an abandoned building on Fifth Street. Father Ray tells them that the boy is a good kid, and he doesn't understand what happened that made the boy want to commit a crime. Danny tells Ray that if he would have taken the boy to children's services years ago, he wouldn't have had the opportunity to attack his wife. Ray leaves to go see the boy. Frank wants Michelle to come downtown to identify the boy, but Danny wants her to go home to rest. Michelle is feeling hesitant about pressing charges. She tells Frank and Danny that she fell when the strap broke on her bag. The boy helped her up, and Michelle thinks that he got caught because he took the time to see that she was okay. Frank jokes about having a mugger with manners. Michelle demands that she talk to the boy, but Danny doesn't want her to. He reminds her that Ray said that Carmen might be responsible for the boy's parents death. Danny thinks that the mugging might not have been random. Michelle reminds Danny that they are trying to turn Fifth Street around, and turning their back on the boy means they are as bad as Carmen.

Phillip paces in the hallway of the hospital wanting to speak with Olivia about Lizzie, but she won't see him. Gus shows up and tells Phillip that they found Beth's car, and Harley is on her way to them now. Gus questions the depth of Lizzie's problems. Phillip tells him that Lizzie is not the monster that Olivia is trying to convince everyone she is, but Lizzie isn't the completely misunderstood victim that she is claiming to be either. Gus gets a call from Harley. She tells him that she found Beth, Lillian, and Lizzie; and there are a lot of loud voices coming from inside. Phillip wants her to get Lizzie out of there. Harley tells Phillip that she is not going inside yet because it sounds like an intervention to her. Phillip tells her that it may be an intervention, but the whole family should be a part of it. Phillip tells her that he has a really bad feeling about this, and he begs Harley to go inside and get Lizzie out of there. Harley explains that Lizzie is getting a workout from her mother, but she is holding her own.

Inside the rustic retreat, Lillian and Beth try to get Lizzie to open the bathroom door. Beth tells her that they came up there to talk, and it is a lot harder to do with a door between them. Lizzie tells them that they don' t want to talk, they just want to tell her how bad and crazy she is. She opens the door and insists that they stop calling her sweetie. She tells them that she has already told them what happened, but no one believes her, so they are done talking. Lizzie heads for the door, but Beth grabs her arm. Lizzie pushes Beth down then smashes a vase on the floor. Lillian pulls Beth aside to talk about what style of pressure to put on Lizzie. In the meantime, Lizzie has picked up a piece of glass from the broken vase. Beth and Lillian return to continue their conversation, but Lizzie threatens to cut her wrist. Harley is watching from outside, and tells Phillip and Gus that she is going in. She leaves her cell phone on and walks in. She tells Lizzie that no one is going to get hurt. Harley tells Lizzie that cutting her wrist won't solve anything because it hurts, it's messy, and she might not even die. She continues to say that the three of them will be all over her the second she cuts her wrist, and her grandmother is a nurse, so she probably won't even die. Gus and Phillip are hearing everything. Harley talks to her about her illness with leukemia and how happy the family was to see her beat the odds, and how hard she fought for her life. Harley tells her that if she dies, she can not tell the people who love her what really happened. Harley reaches for the glass. Lizzie lets her take it, and they share a hug. Beth tells them they need to go back to Springfield and suggests that Lizzie ride with Harley. Lillian thinks that Beth is giving up. Beth tells her that she is not giving up, she just doesn't want a repeat scene. Lillian tells her this was just an act because if she wanted to hurt herself, she could have done it when she was alone in the bathroom.

Phillip is relieved, but is questioning where they go from here. Phillip feels that he has failed as a father. His daughter was ready to cut her wrist, and he was forty miles away. Gus tells him that he thinks he is a very good father. Phillip tells Gus that he has had his eyes closed, and if they were open he could have seen this coming.
