Courtney and Frank realize that the bug can be traced back to them. Courtney has an idea to cover their tracks. They pack the listening devices in a box and have the postman take it away. Frank realizes that he has to find away to explain his fingerprints all over the Karen's furniture. He decides to head over to Karen's to offset the damage.

At Joe and Karen's
Karen feels violated that someone has been listening to his or her conversations. Garcia enters to have his men dust for fingerprints. He suggests that this might have something to do with Sonny since Karen dated him at one time. Karen does not feel that Sonny has any thing to do with this since she has not seen him since he has returned to Port Charles. Frank arrives pretending to be surprised that the house was bugged. Frank volunteered information to Garcia regarding his own fingerprints being all over the house since he helped Joe move and he did stay with Karen while he was recovering from the DL-56. Frank asked where the bug was found. When told that the bug was found on the back of the CD case, Frank asks Joe if it was the same CD case that came from the Scanlon house. Therefore, shifting the target of the eavesdropper to be someone after Frank.

Garcia and his crew head to the Scanlon house along with Karen, Frank, and Joe. Sure enough, a bug is found in the living room. Karen is greatly relieved that she is no longer the suspected target. Joe and Karen decide to leave and get a video. Neal asks Joe if it was the video that he and Karen were supposed to watch last night. Joe asked Neal how he knew about that since he remembered discussing it with Karen that morning. Neal responds, "I heard Joe talking from Frank's room this morning."

Eve and Kevin
An ex-john is harassing Eve when Kevin enters her apartment. Kevin being the knight in shining armor comes to her rescue by punching the guy in his face. The guy responds, "That almost felt like a jealous boyfriend." Kevin plays macho hero and orders the man to leave. The man calls Eve Evelyn. He told Kevin that there is some kind of mistake. He and Evelyn are acquaintances from long ago. Kevin again issues an ultimatum. He threatens to call security if the man did not leave. The man reluctantly leaves but has a message for Evelyn. He will be back.

Eve is visibly shaken by the encounter. Kevin questions Eve as to who the man was. She responds, "an old customer". Eve wants to explain about her past. Kevin told her it is not necessary. After all who is he to question any one about there past. Eve however really wants Kevin to understand, so he listens. Eve explains that she never thought that being a prostitute was glamorous. It was only a way for a young desperate girl to get the money that she needed to pay for her sister's operation. However, she had fantasies that maybe her shining armor might one day be one of her john's, like Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman. When DV showed up, she thought that she had found him. He was an older man, very sophisticated. He took her to fancy restaurants and bought her expensive clothing. She thought that he really like her. One day, she decided to tell him that she wanted to really be part of his life. He looked at her for a few moments then laughed. He told her that she already is part of his life - the part between the sheets. After that she was disgusted with herself. After DV clarified their relationship, she told him that she was through. She went to the bank to withdraw her money and found that her accounts were empty. She thought that DV was responsible but she had no proof. She had no alternative but to go back to him. This time she stashed her money with a friend. When she had enough money saved, she told DV that she was going to New York for a few days to see a friend. She even bought two way airplane ticket to New York in case he decided to check up on her. She then skipped town and headed back to Minnesota. She never saw him again till yesterday at the hotel. Eve is very nervous because DV has a lot of money and power and he is not afraid to use it. Everything is a game to him and right now Eve is the game. The scary part is that he refuses to lose.

After hearing her story, Kevin invites Eve to stay at the Lighthouse for a few days until this guy has left town. Eve refuses. She doesn't want to screw up this relationship when it was getting so good. She also knows that Lucy was always relying on Kevin to save her and Eve does not want to be saved. Kevin argues that he knows that she can take care of herself, but it is getting harder for him to leave her at night and he wants to spend more time with her. He then asked her again to stay with him in a manner that no woman would be able to refuse.

Eve and Chris

Lucy is interrupted by a phone call from David Bordeisdo who wants to meet her and discuss the Serena line. She hangs up the phone and in her very Lucy-like manner rushes around to make the house look perfect for his arrival. Scotty asks who David Bordeisdo is? An astounded Lucy replies, "Well he is only one of the most powerful movers and shakers in the clothing industry and he wants to talk to me about the Serena line! Scotty is a little mistrustful after all of the mishaps that the company has recently had to face. Lucy thinks that Bordeisdo must have heard about their problems and must want to help. Scotty is still very skeptical.

The doorbell rings. Lucy opens the door to see a handsome, older gentleman. He asks if she is Lucy Coe. Of course Lucy greets the man. He introduces himself as David Bordeisdo, however friends call him DV.
