""Of course it will work," Greenlee with a slight laugh. Ryan shook his head. He told Greenlee that a boat trip around the world was his fantasy --- not hers. He kindly told Greenlee that a forty-foot boat was a bit too extravagant for a gift. Greenlee assured Ryan that she hadn't even made a dent in her trust fund when purchasing the boat. Ryan was glad that Greenlee hadn't put herself out, but at the same time he was uncomfortable that their "no strings" relationship was changing. "I have to stop this before it gets any deeper," Ryan said softly. Greenlee took a deep breath and claimed that breaking off the relationship didn't hurt her. She told Ryan that he was thinking too much. Ryan carefully explained that he wanted more than a casual relationship. Greenlee asked Ryan why he was feeling guilty about their relationship. "Your marriage failed," she said rather flatly. "It's okay to want more." Greenlee stopped for several moments and thought about what Ryan had said previously. She asked him if he'd found another lover. Ryan shook his head and swore that there as no one else. Greenlee lashed out at Ryan for cutting off their "simple and light" relationship. She quickly reigned in her fury and reminded Ryan that she'd been doing everything he asked of her. "What you call wasting time has been the time of my life," she said with a smile. Ryan explained that he wasn't looking to get involved in any relationship at this point in time. It was harder for Greenlee to accept the fact that Ryan had dumped her for a solitary lifestyle than it would have been had Ryan found another woman. "You don't know what you're turning down," she snapped. Becca wandered into the loft with bags of food for Scott's surprise party. Ryan and Becca's conversation abruptly ended. Ryan stepped out to help Becca with the bags. In a fit of anger, Greenlee smashed the model boat to the floor. Becca saw Greenlee's tears and asked her if she was okay. "Mind your own business, Miss Priss," Greenlee snarled as she dashed for the door. Ryan returned later and Becca asked him if he was doing okay. Ryan opened up and explained that he'd ended his relationship with Greenlee. Becca didn't judge Ryan for his sex-only relationship with Greenlee. Instead, she said that what's right for her --- abstinence until marriage --- might not be right for him and vice versa. Becca felt that Ryan knew why he was unable to carry on his fling with Greenlee; he was still in love with Gillian. Ryan made no move to deny that he had feelings for Gillian. Rather, he said that Gillian was not an option because she'd moved on with Jake. Becca didn't seem to see that as an obstacle.
Vanessa didn't like Millicent's floral arrangement one bit. One by one she took the flowers out of the large arrangement and made up a small, less showy one of her own. While Vanessa stepped away, Leo arrived and asked Palmer where he'd be sitting. Palmer pointed to Leo's place setting. From there, he quickly asked the young man about his work at Cortlandt Electronics. Leo simply said that things were looking up. In the back of his mind, he recalled the brief chat he'd had with Adam. David arrived and Vanessa and the Greenlees made their appearance a little while later. Even before he got to the table, Woodruff Greenlee was half-drunk. Woodruff talked down Palmer's physical appearance, saying that he needs to take up one of his hobbies. Mr. Greenlee was actually talking about golf, but Leo mused that if Palmer took up the hobby he'd have "cirrhosis of the liver." A waiter approached the table and told Palmer that he had a phone call. Palmer had to option of taking the call at the table, but Palmer gladly stepped out to the lobby to take it. Vanessa took to praising her two sons. She fondly recalled that she'd encouraged David to play with a toy doctor's kit when he was a child. David rolled his eyes, but said nothing. Vanessa skipped over to her other son --- Leo --- and praised how quickly he'd risen to the top ranks of Cortlandt Electronics. "I'm sure it didn't hurt that your husband kicked him up the stairs," David muttered under his breath. From out of nowhere, Woodruff blurted out, "salt and pepper." Millicent pointed to the shakers just in front of her husband, but that wasn't what Woodruff was talking about. He meant that David and Leo were like salt and pepper --- one was dark and one was fair. In fact, Mr. Greenlee claimed that the two men didn't even look like brothers. Vanessa explained that Leo and David had different fathers. Millicent gasped, perhaps thinking lowly of Vanessa for having been married more than once. "Poor Charles," Vanessa sobbed. "Struck down in his prime." Clearly David was not at all pleased with his mother for pretending to be so shaken by his father's death. Millicent offered her condolences to Vanessa and that served only to make David more upset. David finally spoke up and asked his mother why she'd left out the best part of the story --- the part about how she'd killed his father. The table fell silent. Vanessa flashed an icy stare across the table at her son. Leo, meanwhile, put his head back and hoped that everything would pass over. "David, how could you?" Vanessa gasped. Woodruff, still swigging his drink, asked Vanessa how she'd "offed" her old man. Leo tried to change the subject, but it didn't work. "Our mother could out-medusa Medusa," David grumbled. "My only advantage is that my father married this witch." Leo was enraged that David had basically called him a bastard. He leapt to his feet and pulled David up by his lapels. Greenlee slowly approached the table and mused that she always misses all of the fun. The two men didn't come to blows. They sat down and David's verbal assault against his mother continued. He informed the Greenlees that he'd overheard his mother "goading" his father to take his own life. "He'd have given you anything," David said sadly. "Including his life." Vanessa responded angrily and slapped David across the face. Palmer returned moments after the slap and asked what was going on. "You missed a great floor show," Greenlee said with a smile. "Guerilla theatre comes to Pine Valley." Vanessa apologized for her outburst, but by now the dinner party was just about over --- and dinner hadn't even been served. Millicent claimed to have a headache. Vanessa offered her some aspirin, but David warned the socialite not to accept anything from Vanessa. Woodruff was enjoying the fallout, but Millicent ordered him to accompany her home. Vanessa and Palmer left the table. Leo told David that his remarks to their mother were cruel. "What family doesn't have its ups and downs?" David asked. David left shortly thereafter, bidding goodbye to his little brother and "Greenlee Greenlee."
Across town at BJ's, Jake sat down with Dixie and expressed his displeasure over Liza's disappearance. Dixie looked over her brother-in-law's shoulder and noticed that Liza and Colby had just arrived. "It looks like you can kiss your baby blues goodbye," she smiled. Liza wandered over to the table and told Jake that she hadn't told him about her travel plans because she was afraid that Adam would track her down. Jake handed Colby over to Dixie and escorted Liza to another table on the other side of the restaurant. Jake feared that Adam posed some sort of threat to Colby's safety. And as her father, Jake wanted to know exactly where Liza had gone and, perhaps more importantly, why she'd gone there. Liza told Jake that she'd gone to Jamaica and filed for divorce. Jake was surprised and asked if Adam knew. Liza's eyes widened and she muttered that Adam was probably just finding out. Jake was obviously pleased that Liza and Colby would soon be out from under Adam's roof. Liza asked Jake if he could look after Colby while she went back to Chandler Mansion to see if Adam signed off on their marriage. Jake nodded and wished her well. Jake returned to his table with Dixie and told her that Liza had filed for divorce. Because of the divorce, Jake announced that he was backing off of his plans to file for sole custody of Colby. Dixie doubted that divorce would free Liza (or Colby) from Adam.
On the phone, Adam asked Barry to put a "stop payment" on the checks Stuart had written. To his dismay, he learned that all of the checks had already cleared. Marian breezed into the office with some papers she'd claimed had just been messengered over. Adam told Marian to be quiet and returned to his phone call. Marian unplugged Adam's phone so that he'd have to listen to her. Adam looked at the papers and his face dropped upon realizing that Liza had filed for divorce. Marian tried to play it cool, asking Adam why he looked so pale. Adam ordered her to quit the coy routine because he knew that she knew about the divorce papers. Adam claimed that he wouldn't allow Liza to leave him. Marian told Adam that he had no choice and left the room. Adam picked up a photo of Colby and vowed that no one --- not even Liza --- would keep them apart. Unbeknownst to Adam, Liza had arrived at the mansion and was standing just behind him. "Think again," she roared. She told Adam that they needed to talk. Adam nodded his head. He pulled Liza towards him and planted a big kiss on her lips.
To Janet's surprise, Brooke and Hayley told her that they'd also seen "that other woman." Of course, they were talking about something entirely different than what Janet was talking about. Mirror Janet suddenly reappeared and told Janet that Brooke and Hayley had just "shrink wrapped" her problems. Janet told her friends that it was a relief that they understood what she was going through. Mirror Janet urged Janet to get rid of the women before they got her to blab about what happened in the warehouse. Brooke and Hayley were relentless in their questioning --- asking Janet if she knew why Trevor was at the warehouse, if she knew how Sophie was killed, why Trevor had opted to run, and a barrage of other questions. Finally, it became too much for Janet to bear. "Trevor's innocent!" Janet screamed. "He lied to protect me." In the mirror, Mirror Janet ran her finger across her neck. "You just slit your own throat," Mirror Janet sneered. Janet babbled on and on about how she'd killed Sophie in self-defense. She gave a brief summary of the blackmail, the threats, and the fear she felt. She explained that Trevor had taken the blame because he felt that the police would never believe her self-defense claims. Janet apologized profusely for having nearly cost Hayley her life. Hayley told her aunt that she didn't hate her and that she hadn't ruined her life. "I hate myself," Janet sobbed. Brooke asked Janet why she hadn't contacted the police. It was then that Janet revealed that Sophie had claimed to have had an accomplice. This partner in crime, she said, had been ordered to kill Trevor and Amanda in the event of Sophie's incarceration. Janet said that a little voice had talked her into plotting against Sophie. "Don't drag me into this," Mirror Janet said with a slight chuckle. Janet made a break for the phone and announced that she was going to turn herself in. Brooke and Hayley quickly raced to her side and told her that they could not let her do that. Not only would the confession mean that she was doing what Trevor had told her not to do, but it would also mean that Amanda would grow up without a mother. Janet noted that Amanda had already been forced to grow up without her father. Janet also pointed out that one of The Twelve Steps spoke of being accountable for one's actions. Hayley was sort of cornered on that one, so she explained that what Janet had done was justified; she needed to protect her family. The three women sat down on the sofa and placed their hands on top of each other's. Brooke told Janet that she knows how it feels to take someone else's life. Janet noted that Brooke had been forced to stand trial for her actions. Brooke replied that she'd gotten lucky because a jury felt badly for her. She wasn't so sure that Janet would get the same treatment. Brooke told Janet that she was going to go home and pack herself an overnight bag. Janet looked down at the floor and told Brooke that she didn't have to feel as though she had to babysit her. Brooke smiled and said that since she hadn't gotten a chance to say goodbye to Trevor, she wanted to share some Trevor memories and stories. Janet thanked Hayley for her support. Hayley smiled and told Janet that "We Dillons stick together." Hayley left the room momentarily. After she left, Mirror Janet returned and told Janet that Brooke was probably going to the police station to tell Derek what she knew. Janet shook her head and insisted that Brooke would not do that. "Go away!" Janet shouted. "And don't you dare come back." Her shouts were met by Mirror Janet's evil cackle. "All the king's horses and all the king's men couldn't put Janet together again," Mirror Janet laughed. "Hasta la vista --- [But] I'll be back." Mirror Janet slowly faded away revealing Janet's true reflection."
