At the Beacon, Cassie is caught trying to plan a secret party in Olivia's bar. Cassie's plan was to throw a surprise baby shower for Olivia, but she was forced to tell Olivia when she accidentally overheard her planning to book the bar for the night. Olivia demands to know what the party is for that she isn't supposed to know about. Olivia suggests that Cassie doesn't have to throw her a party, but Cassie tells her that she already sent out the invitations. Olivia heads upstairs to take a nap. Harley shows up, and Cassie asks her if she would come to Olivia's baby shower. Harley tells her no. Cassie reminds her that she should know how it feels to be pregnant and alone. Harley wonders who else would want to come. Cassie tells her that Reva would come because she plans to pull her sister card, Holly, Beth, Mel, and maybe employees at the Beacon. Harley tells her that Beth would RSVP her invitation to hell, Mel shouldn't be bothered, and Olivia dumped Holly once she realized that she couldn't manipulate the press. Cassie tells her that she is being harsh. Harley reminds her that sometimes Olivia is harsh as well. Cassie stops an employee and questions whether she and others working there plan to attend the baby shower. The employee tells her that Olivia keeps 10 percent of their tips, so they all seem to have ill feelings toward Olivia. Cassie tells her that she'll talk to Olivia to see what they can do regarding a return policy and an apology from Olivia, and asks whether she can talk to the others about coming to the party. Harley tells Cassie that helping people like Olivia can only hurt you. She then compares Olivia to Eden. Cassie tells her that Olivia is not Eden. Harley reminds her that Eden doesn't steal tips from waitresses. Cassie feels that she has seen a change in Olivia. Harley doesn't seem to buy it coming from the person who is dating Edmund. Harley tells her to be careful with this second chance thing, and tells her that she has three words for her: "Cancel the Shower!" After Harley leaves, Olivia comes back downstairs. Cassie wonders why she has been taking 10 percent of the waitresses tips. She explains that she has set up a personal account for each of them, and she puts their money into an account for them. Cassie tells her that she shouldn't make decisions like that for them because most waitresses need their tips. Olivia agrees to return the money to them if they desire. Later, Cassie explains to Olivia that Edmund seems to be a little out of touch lately because he is having a tough time dealing with things from the past. Olivia tells her give him time to deal with it, and to assure him that she'll be waiting for him on the other side.

Mel meets up with her mother, Dr. Boudreau. Mel has an envelope she is holding. Dr. Boudreau questions what it is that she seems to be stressing over. She tells her that the letter she is holding is an evaluation from their fertility expert. She tells her mother that the drugs that Rick has to take for his heart are affecting their ability to have children. Mel explains that she wants to look into her baby's face and see a little bit of Rick and a little bit of her in the child. In addition to their fertility problems, Mel is anxious to know her test results to the bar exam.

Ed and Rick are over at Danny and Michelle's house. Michelle had called Rick to babysit because the nanny's mother had broken her hip so she had to take a leave of absence. Ed notices a letter addressed to Mel that Rick was holding. When he asked him what it was, Rick tells him that it is Mel's bar exam results. Rick is anxious to open it but understands that Mel needs to be the one to open it herself. Rick discusses with Ed the fertility problems too and the stresses involving all of it. Rick is eager to see whether Mel has passed the bar exam. He calls his wife and tells her that he has the letter from the bar. He nearly hangs up on Mel when he realizes that Robbie was tearing up and eating the letter from the bar. Rick tries to find all the pieces and gradually puts the letter back together. Mel finally arrives, and senses the smell of her dad's cooking. Rick kisses her and tells her that he wanted to know what it would feel like to kiss a lawyer. Just then, her parents came out to congratulate her. Mel requests to see the letter because she wants to frame it.

Marah shows up at Eden's. Eden tries to comfort Marah in regards to her and Tony's breakup. Marah tells Eden that Tony wouldn't fight for her. No matter what she said, Tony wouldn't change his mind. Marah doesn't understand why he put up a wall. She suggests that she just give up on Tony. Eden tells her that Tony is crazy about her and questions whether Marah is a quitter. Eden apologizes for being so strong with Marah. She tells Marah that her temper is related to her issues with her brother. Eden still continues to apologize for letting Marah see the pictures. Marah seems to understand. Marah just doesn't understand Tony's change in attitude toward their relationship, and questions whether Eden knows what it might be. Eden tells Marah that she pushed Tony away, and saying sorry just isn't going to work. She tells her to do something that he won't expect that would prove her love for him because she hurt him big time, so she needs to apologize to him big time. Their conversations is interrupted by a visit from Harley. Marah leaves to give Harley and Eden some time to discuss their issues. Harley wonders why she is making Gus's life a living hell. Eden feels that Gus stopped being her brother when he met Harley. Harley reminds Eden of all the things that Gus has done for her over the years including when he spent time in juvenile hall for years for a crime that he didn't commit. Eden tells Harley that Gus doesn't want to be in her life, he just doesn't want to be the bad guy. Harley tells her that he isn' t the bad guy now he is a wonderful man. Eden tells Harley that Gus isn't the man that she thinks he is. When Harley tells Eden that there isn't anything that she could say about Gus that would make her change the way she feels towards him, Eden tells her not to bet on it. Eden tells Harley that when Gus had her on the roof the night he questioned her, Gus seemed to have flipped a switch and didn't seem to bother him whether she were dead or alive. Harley doesn't believe that Gus reacted in that manner. Eden tells her that she doesn't know Gus the way she does, and informs her that when Gus doesn't need her anymore it's over! Eden feels that someday Harley will do or say something that Gus doesn't like, and he is going to be gone so fast, and Harley won't even exist. Harley starts to head out, and Eden tells her not to ever say that she didn't warn her.

Sandy tells Marah that he will take care of everything for her show. He wonders whether she patched things up with Tony. Marah tells him that she didn't, so he isn't the only one without a partner today. Inside, Sandy tells Marah that he just lost one of his jobs. She offers to pay him for his services, but he tells her not to worry about it because someone out there is bound to hire him with a business major with a lot of outside commitments and some local fame. Marah tells him to consider himself unstuck because she has an idea.

At Company, Shayne shows up to visit Marina. Marina is putting together a care package that Danny and Ed ordered for Michelle. Shayne pulls out some tickets for the two of them to go to the JAMFEST.

Danny gets a call from Michelle. He explains that everything is going okay. He found a replacement for the nanny, and he put Nico to work around the house. Nico was trying to build a bookcase, but Danny thought he was making too much noise inside the house, so he sent him outside to do yard work. As Nico was heading outside, Danny tells him not to blow it because when Michelle returns she expects to see the new and improved Nico. Michelle and Ray see something special in Nico, and Danny doesn't want to disappoint them. Nico feels that as soon as Danny gains some points with his wife, he will throw him out to the trash. Danny questions the new nanny, Mrs. P., in regards to how things are going. She tells him that she believes Robbie is sleeping. She tells Danny that he refused to take a nap, and with his wild temper, she felt he needed one. She put him in his room and shut his door. She tells Danny that children need to learn from a tender age that the world doesn't revolve around them. Danny tells her that his world revolves around Robbie, and the nanny is in his world. Danny starts to go and get Robbie, but the Nanny points out that there aren't any noises coming from the baby monitor, so Robbie must be sleeping. Danny tells her not to lock Robbie in his room again. While Robbie is napping Mrs. P. wants to discuss Robbie's behavior problems. She complains that Robbie spills his food at the dinner table and if she is going to be working for him, there are changes that have to be made. Danny fires the Nanny just as Marina walks in. Robbie starts to cry, and Marina jumps right in. She calms him down by putting on a puppet show with Robbie's teddy bears. Danny hires Marina as the new nanny and mentions he'll pay her double what Buzz is paying her. Later, Nico comes in and jokingly comments that he thought he was in the wrong house since this house is neat and clean and no screaming kid running around. Nico and Danny seem to come to an understanding with each other. Danny tells him that he will show some respect toward him if he can throw some respect in his direction. Nico heads up to take a shower.

Eden and Harley continue to bicker about who knows Gus the best. Harley starts to head for the door, but Eden reminds her as she is heading out that Gus will leave her someday. Eden tells Harley not to blame him for it because it's probably just the Spaulding blood running through him. They continue to disagree, and Harley storms out.

Alan and Gus meet for lunch at Company. Alan seems to be a little distracted by the Lizzie situation. He feels that Lizzie would be fine as long as certain members of the family would stop treating her like a mental case. Then, a strange woman approaches Alan and throws a glass of water in his face. Alan is outraged! The woman introduces herself as Mrs. Brenda Jenson ­ Lori's mother. Lori started working for the Spauldings a few years ago where she met Brad Green. Brad Green is a senior executive at Spaulding who just recently returned from the Paris office. Brenda claims that Lori tried to break things off with Brad, but he didn't like the word no. After that, Lori never came home. Brenda tells Gus that she tried reporting her daughter missing to the police, but the police said she had to wait 24 hours. After Brenda leaves, Gus questions Alan about what he knows about this. Alan explains that Lori Jenson is an ambitious person. When Lori got to Spaulding, there wasn't anything she wouldn't do to get to the top. Alan claims that Brad mentioned that he planned to dump Lori. Gus wonders how that could explain why Lori is missing. Alan worries about this being leaked into the press. Their conversation is interrupted when Harley joins them. Alan skips out claiming that he has an appointment regarding Lizzie. Gus discusses a new case that he wants Harley to look into regarding Lori Jenson. Gus fills her in on everything. When Gus mentions that the boyfriend is a top executive with Spaulding, Harley seems to understand why he is so eager to help this woman find her daughter ­ to help Alan. They start to argue about why he is getting involved in this case. Harley questions whether Gus is trying to get her involved in a cover-up if Brad really did cause the girls disappearance. After she said that, she realized that Gus isn't like that, and she apologizes. She backs up her apology by telling Gus that she spent much of her day listening to someone talk about how ruthless people can be. Harley agrees to take the case as long as it means she can take it as far as it takes her. Harley starts to head out, but she stops and overhears Gus calling Alan telling him not to worry about the girl or the woman because he has everything under control.

Alan's meeting was with Christopher, the new doctor in town. Alan tries to hire Christopher to evaluate Lizzie because he feels that he needs his own person on the case. Christopher declines the offer. Christopher doesn't want to be Alan's personal shrink-for-hire. He doesn't want to feel obligated to treat Lizzie the way Alan wants her treated just because Alan is funding his research at the university.

Alexander seems to be complimenting Eden on her flawless skin, bone structure, and modeling ability. Eden smells the samples and offers her opinion which seems to be of interest to Alexander.

At Company, Shayne explains to his mother that he has JAMFEST tickets for tonight. He had the tickets way before he know that John Walker was coming to town. He tells his mother that he would like to do both. He could go to the JAMFEST and see John Walker after the concert. When he asks for his mother's input, she tells him that he is the one who wanted to handle his own career, so he needs to take charge and make his own decisions.

Phillip questions Olivia when he shows up at the Beacon and sees her back to work already. Olivia reminds him that she is pregnant - not sick. On another note, Phillip starts to discuss some research he's been doing about raising daughters. Olivia had to stop him when he mentioned math and science. Phillip feels that you can't start too early, but Olivia tells him that discussing elementary subjects before the baby is even born is a bit too early. Olivia feels that this has more to do with Lizzie than their child. Olivia feels that he is trying to distract himself from thinking about the girl he can't fix. Phillip feels that there isn't anything he can do to fix Lizzie, and he feels like a failure. Phillip feels that he was so wrapped up in his own life, than he neglected his daughter. Olivia assures him that there baby is going to grow up healthy and strong because she is going to make sure of it.

Lizzie's session with Christopher gets underway at the Spaulding home. Lizzie jokingly tells Christopher that she sees dead people. Christopher informs her that he saw the movie, and tells her that if she were to seriously tell him that she saw spirits, he would assume it was from too much chocolate or caffeine. Lizzie questions why he decided to help her. She feels that there has to be a deal between him and her grandfather, and wonders if he is on the company payroll like everyone else in the town. Christopher explains that her grandfather funds his research, but it has nothing to do with why he has agreed to help her. Lizzie tries to coach Christopher into telling the family that she has made an incredibly emotional breakthrough. Christopher gets paid, and they'll all be off her back. Christopher tells her that he is not for sale, and he plans to evaluate her respectively. Christopher begins to discuss how it is to be a Spaulding, and continues to say that some people would kill to be a Spaulding. Christopher wonders if she hates being a Spaulding. She tells him that she did kill someone once. Christopher seems to already know that she killed her mother's boyfriend, Carl. Christopher creatively moves the conversation over to her burning down the school dorm. He tells her, picking up a box of matches, that she could easily wipe out her entire family including himself if she were to burn down the Spaulding home. She tells him not to tempt her. He hands her the matches, and tells her to go ahead. Lizzie lights a match and watches it burn down to her finger. She lights another one and threatens to throw it on to the sofa. She explains that she is a lost cause: she burnt down her own school, sent Ben up to Marina, and nearly killed her own sister. Lizzie feels that she is evil because she hates her family. She feels that they turned her into herself. Christopher tells her that she is not a lost cause. Lizzie asks Christopher if he'll tell everyone that she is better. Christopher asks her if she is better. Lizzie tells him that his time is up, and she heads out the door. Beth and Lillian were waiting in the hallway for Lizzie. Beth calls out for Lizzie, but she doesn't answer.

The rest of the Spaulding clan arrive and wonder how the meeting went. Beth tells them that Lizzie is in her room, and she wants to go check on her. Christopher walk out, and tells Beth to give Lizzie some time alone. Christopher tells them that the meeting was upsetting to her. Phillip instantly wants to go find her because there's no telling what she might do if she is upset. Christopher tells Phillip to monitor Lizzie for now, but give her time alone for her thoughts. With Lizzie listening in, Christopher tells the family that if after some time, he doesn't feel that she is making any progress, he might have to recommend that Lizzie be hospitalized.

Buzz shows up in Alexandra's room at the Beacon with some Chili. Alexandra was in her bed resting. When Buzz first got a glance at her, he thought she was sick. Alexandra tells Buzz that Lizzie has a serious problem, even more serious than she ever realized. She comments that Alan feels that she doesn't love Lizzie enough. Sounds like Alexandra is understanding the need for Lizzie's therapy. Buzz climbs into the bed with Alexandra just to comfort her. Tammy Winslow walks in with the extra towels Alexandra had ordered up and assumes that she has walked in on something a little more heavy. She drops the towels, apologizes, and runs out. Tammy calls Marina at Company and tells her that she just walked in on Buzz and Alexandra in bed.
