A snitch named Ravi visits John at the police station; for $20 he offers to give him a tip on the upcoming heist involving Paul Cramer. With that being the only information that he has, John gives him $5.

Carlotta begs for Antonio's life; a shot rings out but it's not Antonio who falls. A gunfight ensues as men enter and take off after the felons and Antonio is able to retrieve a gun as well. An hysterical Carlotta insists that she knows nothing about the sequence of events that led up to the present, only that she received a note that Antonio was in Puerto Rico. She was grabbed by some men when she arrived. One of the rescuers is Antonio's friend, Emilio, who is shocked to learn about Antonio's handprint obtaining the Santi millions.

Sonia quickly attempts to replace the CD and other items out of place at R.J.'s but he returns to the room too soon. Making up a story and then changing the subject seems to work but after she leaves, it's obvious that R.J. is suspicious.

An angry Tico shows up at Dorian's, demanding to know about Adriana's supposed pregnancy and her obvious lack of supervision.

She orders Tico to provide her with his source, the person who divulged the information but he refuses. She does finally admit that Adriana is not pregnant. Interceding before the argument escalates even more, Adriana brings up Duke but Dorian would rather discuss the gala that Tico is throwing. Once he's gone, David and Dorian can't help wondering about all of the money that he's throwing around and wonder how he might have really obtained it.

Jessica is positive that something has happened to Antonio and takes off for Tico's residence. She expresses her fear about Antonio as Sonia denies knowing anything about what he has encountered or what may have happened to him. Jess doesn't believe her and informs her that she will hold the woman responsible if something has occurred. When Angelina shows after Sonia dashes off, Jess tries to get her to disclose some secret. She begins by talking about the peacefulness of Spain versus the busyness and intensity of America. Before she can continue Tico returns, adamantly stating that he has not heard from Antonio. When Antonio shows up suddenly, having returned from Puerto Rico, Tico is visibly annoyed. He remains so upon learning that Carlotta has been located as well.
