He tells Phillip that it won't be immediate but in a week or so there should be a definite improvement. Phillip asks what happens if the transplant doesn't work. Noah says they have done the best they can and it is all up to Lizzie right now. Phillip asks him if he means there are no other options if the transplant doesn't work. Noah tells him that they should think positively and not worry. Phillip goes and sits next to Lizzie on her bed and talks to her. He tells her that they are putting the new healthy cells from her baby brother in to help her. He asks her to squeeze his hand if she understands him. She does. He tells her that she is his daughter and she isn't scared of anything and begs her to fight.

Outside the room, Lillian asks Noah how Lizzie is, he says she is holding her own. Lillian goes in to visit her and encourages her to get better. She asks to speak to Phillip for a few minutes. They walk outside and Lillian tells Phillip that Alan knows about the baby and he will not rest with Jim raising his grandchild.

She calls for her dad again. Noah is listening to her heart. Harley tells her to keep fighting.

Phillip wants to know what Alan is worried about, a scandal. Alan is worried that Phillip would give up his own son and lie to him after the way he felt as a child. Alan saw the way Phillip looked at the baby. Phillip should know better than anyone how it will affect his son if he is not told the truth. Phillip will turn out just like Alan, and Alan knows Phillip doesn't want that. Phillip thanks Alan for trying but he can't think about this right now. Phillip goes in to see Lizzie.

Rick and Noah are looking at Lizzie's chart and are concerned. So far there is no rejection. Noah is hopeful since the baby was a perfect match. His pager goes off, he goes to the phone. He says, "I told you not to call me here." He says it isn't because of another woman. She hangs up on him and he is upset.

Max gives Susan a birthday gift a few days early. It is a backpack with a pair of earrings inside. She says it is her best birthday ever. She is happy about the baby and she hopes Lizzie is getting well. She thinks Beth did something right for a change. Susan looks forward to them all going home together and kisses Max.

Noah is on the phone asking the mystery woman why she hung up on him. He says that there is nothing wrong here and he has to go.

Michelle is still being haunted by Carmen as she sees her when she looks in the mirror. Danny comes in and catches her off guard. She tells him that she has been dreaming about Carmen and was a little startled. Danny asks to hear about the dreams but she doesn't want to hurt him while he is still morning for his mother.

She tells him that he can talk to her whenever he wants about her and that she would understand since she too lost her mother. They talk a little about Maureen and how much Michelle loved her and wished she were there when she had the miscarriage. She said that Claire tried to be motherly to her and that she does have to give her points for persistence. She didn't want to like her for giving her up for adoption but at the same time she is thankful that she did. Michelle likes Claire and appreciates her being there when she needed her. She still feels that Claire can be annoying and steps too far when she disapproves of Danny but she is trying. Danny says he will never interfere in her relationship with Claire. Michelle isn't sure but she thinks she may want to get closer to Claire. Danny tells her if that is what she wants and it helps her she should. They kiss.

Cassie wants to know what is going on. Richard says that some snobs that don't even matter have refused to come to the wedding. Edmund says that it is his fault. Richard tells Cassie he is handling it but Cassie is worried. Edmund says that Richard has never been popular with the elite only with the common people because he taxed the elite while helping the poor; all the time Edmund was the one that had to keep the rich happy. Richard helped those less fortunate while Edmund served a purpose keeping the elite feeling elite. Richard says those days are over and the people didn't really know all the things Edmund did to undermine the country. Edmund offers to let everything he did wrong be made public so that they can have their dream wedding, worry free. Richard looks at Cassie.

He will take anything Richard offers. He understands his hesitation but hopes there is a part of Richard that thinks he can turn his life around. Richard should believe that he can help them and that they should look out for their own best interest. He will lend them the support of the aristocrats. With that, he leaves.
