At the hospital, Nikki spoke to Nick on the cell phone and urged her son to do what he could to get Phyllis released from jail. Nikki promised that she and Victor would stay at the hospital for Summer and be there when she woke up. Michael went to see Nikki and Victor to report on Phyllis' case. Nikki and Victor were shocked to learn that Heather's case against Phyllis would likely be upheld by the court because of the state of child abuse laws. Nikki and Victor asked who had accused Phyllis of harming Summer. When Michael informed them that Phyllis's accuser was allowed to remain anonymous, Victor and Nikki were incensed. Victor fumed to hear that Summer might wind up in foster care if Phyllis was not cleared of the charges. Victor demanded that Michael get Phyllis cleared because there was no way she had done anything to Summer.

Nikki and Victor were frustrated that they were barred from Summer's room. Victor and Nikki begged Michael to do something legally to allow them to visit their grandchild. Michael said that the law looked very unkindly on family in such matters because it wanted to protect the child more than the parents or grandparents. Victor asked Michael to speak directly to a judge for the family. Nikki cried in Victor's arms over Summer's plight.

Victor spoke to Ashley on the phone, asking her not to go to the hospital because of Ashley's condition. Nikki pleaded with the guard outside of Summer's room to let her visit her grandchild. After a moment, the officer let her in. Nikki asked the doctor about Summer's status and learned there had been no change.

Back in the waiting room, Michael returned with good news. He told Victor and Nikki they had been granted temporary custody of Summer. They were allowed to visit her. Victor suggested that once Summer was well, he would take her to the ranch and buy her a pony. Nikki disagreed and suggested that Summer go home with her when she was better. Nikki and Victor discussed the living arrangements. Victor felt his ranch was familiar to Summer. Nikki objected, because Adam was living at the ranch under house arrest. Nikki said that if Phyllis was incarcerated, Summer would need a mother's love and Nikki could provide that.

Michael reappeared to inform Nikki and Victor that they had to face the judge in the morning, but they could visit Summer right away. In Summer's room, Michael spoke to the child and urged her to wake up soon. Michael left after promising to return. Victor moved closer to Nikki at Summer's bedside. Victor told Nikki she had been right about taking Summer home with her after the child recovered. Victor recognized that Summer needed a mother's love, and Nikki would be the best fill-in for Phyllis.

Kevin and Jana were at Crimson Lights when Daniel entered. Kevin asked Daniel about Summer's condition and Kevin and Jana said they were concerned about her. Department of Justice agent Aucker appeared and served Kevin with search warrants for the restaurant, his home, and car. Aucker was looking for the stolen cell phone from evidence. Amber charged in past the guard at the door and asked Aucker why her apartment was trashed by the DOJ. Aucker explained that Balfour's cell phone had been stolen from the evidence box in the courthouse, which prompted the search warrants.

Jana and Kevin told Aucker they hadn't stolen the phone. Amber and Daniel said they had left the courthouse right after the hearing. Aucker didn't think much of their alibis. Aucker challenged Daniel to prove his innocence about stealing the cell phone by taking a polygraph test. Kevin warned Daniel not to believe Aucker, because Aucker would twist his words and make Daniel incriminate himself. Daniel accepted the challenge, saying he would take the polygraph test because had nothing to hide. Aucker made the arrangements and he and Daniel left.

Aucker returned with Daniel. Daniel said he had passed the test with flying colors. Daniel was depressed because there was still no lead on who shot the fake DOJ guy or where the cell phone was. Kevin offered everyone a slice of cake. Inside the chocolate cake was the stolen cell phone. Kevin explained that he had swiped it on the way to post bail for Jana. Daniel was thrilled that Kevin had stuck out his neck for him. Daniel immediately began to check out the phone, hoping to find the evidence that would clear him.

At Katherine's, Mac told Billy she was glad to see the real Billy she fell in love with emerging again, like he had the night before. Mac and Billy agreed to keep their reconciliation a secret so they could savor the good feelings they shared. Chloe entered and when Mac noticed, Mac pretended to be miffed at Billy. Chloe assumed that Mac was still angry that Billy had slept with Sharon. Chloe said she had heard that Sharon's baby turned out to be Jack's instead of Billy's.

Out back at the pool, Kay, Murphy, and Jill were greeting guests for a July Fourth barbeque. When Lily and Cane appeared, Jill welcomed her son happily. Cane hugged Kay and she asked him to forgive her for doubting he was Jill's child. Jill said she was only sticking around to celebrate the holiday with Cane. Cane asked Jill and Kay to not fight anymore. Cane embraced Kay and Jill and said how grateful he was to be in their family.

At Philip's graveside, Paul explained to Nina that Cane's DNA test was not a true reading because the blood had been frozen.

Esther volunteered to watch Delia so that Chloe could enjoy the barbeque. Murphy told Kay that he hoped Jill was on her best behavior for the party. Pearl entered the back yard from the house, and Murphy and Kay were glad to see her. Kay said she missed seeing Pearl at the diner.

Cane thanked Mac for taking care of Kay when she had the mini-stroke. Chloe commented that Mac probably had Girl Scout badges pinned to her diapers. Cane and Billy talked about a rematch, which made Jill burst with pride that her two sons were bonding. Billy took note when Mac excused herself to run an errand to the homeless shelter.

Neil greeted Murphy and Kay. Neil learned about Kay's mini-stroke and was glad that she was doing better. Lily saw Neil and asked if he had heard the good news about Cane being Jill's son. Lily hoped that Nina would back off with her suspicions. Jill hoped Nina would be going back to Los Angeles very soon. Ever the peacemaker, Cane suggested that everyone speak positively. Cane then proposed a toast to Jill and Kay, saying wonderful things about them both and thanking them for giving him a home.

Meanwhile, at Philip's grave, Paul explained to Nina that the authorities were trying to figure out where the blood was from. Paul urged Nina to remain quiet for the moment, but she was determined to expose Cane as a fraud.

Kay was on the phone with Nikki, encouraging Nikki not to lose hope that Summer would emerge from the coma. Pearl overhead Kay's words of hope and was impressed. Pearl told Jill how great Kay had been to her when they worked together at the diner. Jill responded that Pearl didn't know the real Kay. Jill said that Kay hated Jill. Jill called Kay a vindictive, cruel witch. When Jill walked away, Pearl said goodbye to Kay and warned her to steer clear of Jill, because Jill was a piece of work.

Murphy was working the grill when Billy approached to talk about how great it had been that Mac saved Katherine. Murphy said he wouldn't know what to do if anything happened to Kay. Murphy thought it was ironic that he was a guy living in a trailer until he married Kay and moved into a mansion. Billy asked Murphy what he was doing with his trailer. Murphy didn't know. Billy offered to buy it and Murphy agreed to sell it to him.

Kay complimented Neil on what a good job he was doing running Chancellor Industries. Kay said putting Neil in charge had given her a chance to enjoy her marriage to Murphy. Neil noticed that Lily seemed happily married, as well. Neil said he had been in doubt about Cane based on Nina's suspicions. Kay was glad the DNA test removed all the doubt.

Cane and Lily admired Delia asleep in her stroller. Cane asked Chloe if he could take the baby for a swim later, while Billy announced that he was going to visit Ashley, because Victor was at the hospital with Summer. Chloe asked if Billy would return to the party. Billy said maybe. Billy walked away and Chloe was irked. Lily and Cane kissed romantically and Lily said by next year, Delia might have a little cousin. Lily worried that she and Cane were too happy. Cane hoped that it would be smooth sailing for the rest of their lives.

Billy unlocked the door to a room at the Athletic Club, then stepped aside and let Mac walk in ahead of him. Billy and Mac got romantic and relished in their secret tryst. Billy and Mac realized that once everyone knew that they were together again, many would be shocked, especially Chloe. Mac thought that Kay would be happy for Mac and Billy.

Billy was anxious to make love to Mac for the first time. Billy recalled his mother knocking on the door of the honeymoon suite after their wedding six years before. Billy regretted that they believed for six years that they were cousins. Mac said the six years gave them time to grow up. Billy assured Mac that nobody would be knocking on the hotel room door this time.

Nina charged into the party and confronted Cane, asking him where the blood was from. Cane was baffled by her question. Jill and Lily defended Cane and told Nina to back off. Kay intervened and told everyone to let Nina speak. Nina said the blood had been frozen. Paul backed up what Nina said.

Nina realized Cane had switched the samples during a time when they were distracted. Nina demanded the Cane tell them where the real Philip was. Paul insisted that the blood results were science, not conjecture. Nina told Paul to leave because it was not his battle.

Jill accused Nina of hating her, but Nina said it was not that at all. Nina said that Jill was a victim, just like Nina and Lily. Lily believed totally in Cane's innocence. Lily said her husband would not do what Nina was accusing him of.

Murphy asked everyone to calm down for Kay's sake. Kay agreed that yelling at each other wasn't resolving the situation. Kay turned to Cane and asked him if he could explain what was going on. Cane looked guilt-ridden. Cane looked at Lily and apologized for lying, then turned to Jill. Jill shook her head and refused to believe that Cane was not her son.

Cane said Nina was telling the truth. Cane apologized again and again. Cane admitted that he was not Jill's son. Cane said he was not Philip Chancellor, III. Nina called Cane a lying bastard.

Cane begged everyone to let him explain. Cane said he had never meant to hurt anyone. Nina accused Cane of being a con artist. Cane wasn't interested in the Chancellor fortune. Cane insisted that he loved Jill and loved Kay and only wanted to be part of their family.

Jill was in tears listening to Cane's words. Lily was overcome with grief that Cane had lied to her. Lily said she had no idea who Cane really was. Neil warned Cane that he would pay for his actions. Lily asked how Cane could have done that to them. Kay asked Cane how he could do that to all the people who had shown him nothing but kindness.

Philip Chancellor suddenly appeared on the scene to say that Cane had not done a thing. Philip took the blame for the charade. Nina gasped at the sight of her husband, alive and well and standing amid the group.
