Noah tells them that Phillip will have to enter a special hospital that deals with this kind of illness and take care of it. Phillip doesn't want to go but Noah tells him that he could spread the illness to Lizzie or someone else with a low immune system if he doesn't take care of it. Noah said the treatment can last anywhere from weeks to months. Phillip insists that they leave right then so he can get back to be with his daughter during her treatments.

At tower's:
Josh, Olivia and Ross were talking about how great their business is going and how much money they were making.

She tells him she doesn't know why since he had been sleeping with another woman for months now. She tells him it is the next logical step and although Olivia brought it up for business reasons, she (Reva) brought it up for her own protection. She feels that Olivia will somehow try to steal her rightful stuff away, or at least turn Josh against her having them. Josh tells her that she and the kids will get everything they want and need, no matter what happens. Josh doesn't understand where all this is coming from. Reva tells him that he hasn't talked to her in months and they haven't shared anything the whole time.

He says no and tells her that she interfered and put him in a difficult place. He has to make the decisions about him and Reva but it is his decision.
