Sarah is looking at a picture of her parents holding her when she was a baby. Cris comes downstairs and answers the door to Rex, who tells him about Tate being the OPP. He tells Cris how Vincent saved Tate's life the night before. Sarah asks why Cris cares about what happened and he tells her because it's because of Evangeline and Adriana is his cousin. Sarah asks Rex if he and Adriana have gotten back together but he tells her even though it's none of her business that no they haven't and to stop giving him the third degree. Sarah tells Rex she thought maybe some town gossip would help her to kill the boredom, then both Cris and Rex tell her that she should get a job. They suggest things for her to do and she tries to get Cris to hire her as the talent manager at Capricorn because she knows the music scene. He blows her off about it and Rex leaves.

Vincent is up on the Palace roof thinking about the previous night when Shawn shows up.

Dorian shows up at Adriana's with muffins for her and Layla, neither of whom are hungry and don't eat. Dorian tells the girls that she has hired someone from New York to write a press release for them for Exposed, but Shawn shows up before they can really get into it. Shawn tells Layla that Vincent needs to talk to someone, but not him, it needs to be her. Layla leaves to go see Vincent and tells her that it's her turn to take care of him and worry about him. She was proud of him for what he did saving Tate, that he's not a murderer. He still can't shake the feeling that he did something wrong by letting Tate live: he feels incredibly guilty. Adriana tells Dorian that Rex was the only one who knew something was up with Tate and she didn't believe him. After all they've done to each other she doesn't know if they'll find their way back together, or even if Rex will forgive her. Later, Adriana shows up at Rex's apartment.

Matthew rips up Tate's photo and takes his cards and throws them in the trash that Nora holds out for him. He tells her that he doesn't really feel better, as Cole comes downstairs and asks how they're doing since they've heard the news and she tells him they're working on it. The three of them sit down and have breakfast and Cole asks Nora about his mom and she tells him that she doesn't think Marty will be in jail long. Matthew then tells Cole that he talked to Starr and that it went well.

Starr remembers and Viki asks her the be honest and if given the choice between saving Cole's mom or protecting her father what would she do. Starr tells her that she doesn't know. Viki decides to go see Jessica before she and Starr go to see Todd and tells Starr she'll be right back. Starr pauses a minute and then goes to the elevator where she runs into Cole.

Marty tells Bo she remembers killing Spencer and tells him about it. John tells Bo that "you could drive a truck through the hole in her memory" and asks for more time before Bo has her arrested and charged with killing Spencer. Bo asks Marty to tell him everything that she does remember, which she does. After Bo and John talk alone and Bo tells him that there really isn't anything he can do except to charge her with the crime, even though he isn't convinced either that she is guilty. Marty is let back in and Bo tells her that she is under arrest for murder.

Nash and Jessica talk about how they'll have a real honeymoon when she gets better, but she's slightly reluctant. Nash asks her what's wrong and she tells him that Antonio doesn't know she and Nash got married, and even though she knows it was the right thing to do, she feels guilty. He tells her he does as well, but it's their marriage and Antonio is free now, and he isn't what their marriage is about.

Miles pleads not guilty, which causes Todd to shout out in anger. The judge demands quiet as Nora relates all of Miles' unlawful activities. His own lawyer denies he's a flight risk. Cole requests an opportunity to speak and he relates what happened with his mom being blackmailed and his finding Miles in the storage area with Todd. He too becomes angry and yells that he wants the man behind bars for the rest of his life. Bail is set at $500,000, a "piece of cake" for Miles, and his passport must be surrendered. John assures Cole that he did just fine and that he's working on things for Marty. The Mannings learn that Starr and Cole are back together, though Starr hopes Coles' impassioned speech will pay off. Nat reassures Miles and John wants to know why she's behaving as she is. They're all there because she ripped up Miles' confession, he charges. Miles has no one behind him and she can relate to that, she explains. He's not had any breaks. John thinks she's just trying to get back at him, though she retorts that not everything is about him. He wishes her luck in her "new crusade." He also speaks with Nora and is still convinced that Marty didn't kill Spencer. He really believes the cases involving Miles are connected in some way. He has a thought suddenly and makes a phone call. Miles feels badly that Cole hates him and he reminisces to Nat about the wonderful day when Marty made breakfast for all of them. Now it's all over. He will have to get over it, Nat explains kindly.

Marty is visited by the colleague who first heard her confession and she recounts the events of the evening in question as she remembers them. She can recall picking up the scissors and pointing them at Spencer but doesn't remember anything beyond that. A fuming Marty declares that she should never have moved back to Llanview, and she's all alone without her husband. The doctor asks about John but Marty can only reply that it's "too late." Later, Nora visits and Marty learns that Miles is free. She's frightened for her son but Nora assures her that he'll be safe at the Buchanan mansion. She learns what Cole did in court and she is amazed at how like his dad he is. Nora admonishes her for not obtaining a lawyer yet and states that she should never have spoken to Bo without one. Marty wants to plead guilty. When Nora leaves, Marty receives a visit from Miles.

Sarah tries to drum up some music business for Capricorn but Cris wants her out of the club. Though she insists she has contacts, Cris feels that she has no experience in bookings. Perhaps she should waitress, he suggests. She challenges him to making her a drink but when she's unable to pay for it due to a refused credit card and the inability to get funds from the ATM, he hands her an apron. There are plenty of glasses that need washing, he informs her. She realizes that she's been cut off.

Todd is taken up to the penthouse by his family. He's looking forward to a sleepover with Jack and Starr and he wants his kids to remain there. Blair assures Dorian she'll still be staying with her. Starr enjoys the arguing between Dorian and Todd; she's just glad to have her dad return. A surprise visit from Cole has Dorian leaving and Todd sending his family out of the room after the teen expresses sorrow on the way things turned out. He had been planning on helping Starr but then Miles threatened him and his mom. She would have done the same for her own family, Starr says, before heading upstairs. Cole loves Starr and wants to work it out. Todd doesn't like him and never will, he acknowledges. They agree that the only thing they have in common is their love for Starr and they decide they will have to tolerate each other so as not to lose her. Cole even admits that he's glad Todd is o.k. Jack wants his mom to stay the night too.

Michael is worried and wants to make sure that Rex and Adriana are still on his side. They are and they also learn about Marcie not being able to have children. If they lose Tommy, they will never have another child, Michael tells them. He's pretty sure that Marcie doesn't know anything about Tommy but he also doesn't think that Todd is convinced that the boy is dead. Michael receives a call from John who asks to meet him; it's serious, he tells him. Michael has to live with his decision and Rex promises that he will keep the secret forever.
