"Leo and Vanessa were dining at the Valley inn, reminiscing their European days. Leo referred to himself as having been Vanessa's "lap dog" back then. She hoped that they can get together more often like they used to, and not just because Leo needed something. He asked for money to woo Greenlee and Vanessa agreed to give it to him. As he left the table she wished him good luck with Greenlee. David walked in and Vanessa tormented him briefly about Dixie. He told her that he had a dinner date and he didn't have time for her. She looked across the room and saw Leslie waiting for David. Vanessa said "Oh my David, pining for Dixie, bedding Erica, dating another woman! You're busy!" David left to join Leslie.
At their table, Leslie listed the day's specials, including "me on a half shell". David said he wasn't hungry right then but then asked if Leslie was going to the big party the next day. She said she didn't have a date. David invited her to attend as his date, saying he was much more fun than Ryan. "How much more?" purred Leslie. David leaned over and kissed her, and she asked what that kiss was going to cost her. He told her she was too suspicious. Ryan came over to their table and told Leslie he had some legal issues to clear up before the party. David told Ryan he was looking forward to the party and Ryan told him he wasn't invited. David told Ryan the Andrassy Foundation had purchased several tables and he would be attending. Ryan objected but David just said how sweet it was that both of Gillian's husbands would be there working together. Ryan grabbed Leslie and took her away from the table, warning her to stay away from David. She told Ryan she thought David was right, that Ryan did still have a thing for Gillian. Leslie then asked Ryan to escort her to the party but Ryan refused, saying he's going solo, it's a working party for him. She told him that was ok, she had "a back-up". Leslie returned to David's table and asked what time he'd be picking her up for the party. He asked if she knew who else would be on board tomorrow and she said he was just trying to find out if Tad and Dixie were coming. He denied this and Leslie told him to stay away from Dixie tomorrow and not mention the sexual harassment suit. Ryan overheard this and told David that if he sees David make trouble for Dixie at the party he won't wait for David's day in court, he'll just take care of him right then. David told Ryan to relax or he'd pop a blood vessel in his brain. With that he and Leslie walked to the lobby. Leslie kissed David, saying she was leaving him with something to dream about. After she walked away David said to himself "Time to start making my dreams come true." Gordon brought the Libidozone to David and asks what David's going to do with it. David told him it was for "recreational purposes".
After getting the promise of money from Vanessa, Leo found Greenlee in the lobby of the hotel. He blind folded her and told her the evening would be beyond all of her expectations. He led he upstairs to the Honeymoon Suite. As he took off her blindfold, she looked around the room filled with candles and roses and then found a bottle of her favorite bubbly. She asked if he could afford this and he told her he got the money from Vanessa. "Greater love hath no man that endures a four course meal with Mommy Dearest" said Leo. He invited her to attend the Incredible Dreams party and she was thrilled to accept, but worried that Ryan would throw her overboard. Leo said he would make sure Ryan didn't and that he was going to make sure Ryan paid for what he put Greenlee through. Greenlee asked Leo why he did all this for her and he told her he wanted to make up. He felt bad after the way things went when she tried to get him to move into the loft with her. She told Leo that she's very high maintenance and Leo said he's ok with that. After making love Greenlee admitted to Leo that she was miserable without him. She went on about how they should have house rules, like he does the dishes on certain days and she does the laundry on others. He asked her what she was talking about and she said she wanted them to live together of course. Leo said no, he wasn't ready to move out of Erica's and he wanted to be available for Bianca. And that he wanted to be able to pay for an apartment on his own. Greenlee got very upset and said why don't you just tell me you don't want to live with me. Leo told her not to make him say something that would hurt her but she insisted that he say it. So Leo told her "I'm not ready to live with you". Greenlee said to him "You don't want to live with me because you don't love me!" and got dressed and stormed out of the suite.
Tad and Dixie arrived home. Dixie wanted Tad to come upstairs with her to check the boys but Tad said he'd go up later, alone. Then he found the invitation to Ryan's party. Dixie asked if they were going and he asked her if she was really in the mood to party. He told her he was going to check his messages but Dixie asked if they could talk. Tad said he was all talked out but Dixie apologized again, asking what more could she say? Tad told Dixie he wouldn't file the sexual harassment suit against David for her sake, she'd been through enough already. Dixie thanked Tad but he told her not to. He said he just wanted things to be back the way they used to be. The phone rang, Tad answered it and said he had to take the call in another room. He left and Junior walked in. The boy had been standing in the hallway and had overheard most of Tad and Dixie's conversation. He asked his mother what was going on and she tried to brush him off. He told her he heard them talking about a sexual harassment suit and that he knows what that means. He asked Dixie if she and Tad were splitting up again. She said no, and that Junior has a right to know what's going on in his family. She told him that she had made a horrible mistake while working for David Hayward. She had given David too much of her time and attention and that had hurt Tad. Junior asked if she had fallen in love with David and she strongly denied it. She said "I only have enough room in my heart for 3 men, you, Jamie and Tad." She promised to do everything she can to keep them together. Tad was standing in the doorway and overheard the whole conversation. Junior went up to bed and Tad came back into the room. Dixie told him that Junior was waiting for him to come upstairs and say good night. Tad told Dixie he heard Junior say he'd overheard them talking and asked if he was ok. Dixie said yes. Tad then told Dixie he loved her more than anything and "I want to work through this thing and come out on the other side together". They held each other tightly in the dark living room.
Jake and Gillian were home alone. She wanted to make popcorn and snuggle on the couch together and Jake agreed. She went into the kitchen to start the popcorn and Ryan showed up at the front door. He apologized for stopping by so late and for the press conference the other day. Jake told him to forget about it, he had. Gillian bounced in from the kitchen in her short and silky robe and stopped dead in her tracks when she saw Ryan. Jake looked at her then at Ryan. They just stared at each other for a moment then Ryan snapped out of it and asked Jake if he'd looked at the specs for the fund raiser. He hadn't but did quickly and signed it, and gave it to Ryan. Jake offered his help for the party but Ryan said it was all taken care of, just show up and help raise lots of cash. Gillian went back into the kitchen and Ryan left. She came into the living room looking very sad and told Jake she had some bad news. "I've burned the popcorn!" Jake said he didn't care about the popcorn or anything else, just her. They sat on the sofa and began kissing. He got frustrated that he couldn't make love to the most beautiful, desirable woman alive. Gillian said she knew why he was upset, it was because of Ryan. Jake said he wanted to give Gillian a house, a family and lots of kids. She said they have time but he said no, he wanted to do it NOW. He told her about the experimental drug Libidozone and that he had offered to be a test subject. He gave her all the pros and cons but Gillian told him not to do it, it wasn't safe. She told Jake that all she wanted was to go up to bed and hold her all night. He turned out the lights and they went up the stairs together.
Hayley and Mateo were having a quiet, romantic dinner at the Valley Inn. They discussed Arlene and Hayley told Matt that the only person she wants keeping her up at night is him. Arlene, hiding in a nearby booth, overheard this and rolled her eyes in disgust. Ryan stopped by their table and asked if Hayley could roll some tape at the party the next day for her show. She was happy to oblige saying she could then use her dress as a tax write-off. Ryan left them for a bit and Hayley observed a difference in him. She felt that he was becoming a lot like Adam, that he's actually modeling himself after Adam. When Ryan stopped back by their table after speaking with David, Hayley and Matt noticed his agitation. Hayley asked if David was making trouble and Ryan told her he was. Matt offered to have him thrown overboard at the party but Ryan declined, saying it would be bad publicity. Hayley said they'd better hope Arlene didn't show up. Then she said she had a good feeling that she wouldn't, she was sure Arlene was gone for good.
After dining with Leo and annoying David, Vanessa went up to her suite. She showed her party dress to the chamber maid, telling her it was originally intended for Madonna. Then she showed off the pearls Palmer had just given her. She gave the woman a big tip and some advice on getting an older rich man and the maid left. Arlene pushed her way into Vanessa's room and refused to leave after she was told to get out. Arlene wanted $100,000 from Vanessa and Vanessa told her no way. They began fighting and Palmer walked in. "That's it ladies and I use the term loosely!" he bellowed. Vanessa told him that Arlene was holding her hostage and Palmer told Arlene that her friendship with his wife has been terminated. Arlene stormed out saying she'd make them pay.
Downstairs at the restaurant Arlene asked a waiter if he was working Ryan's party the next day. When he told her he was, she asked if he could get her a ticket. He laughed saying it was $5,000 a person! She swore to herself that she would be on that boat."
