"Hayley is sitting patiently in the hospital waiting room, waiting for Dr. Clader to arrive. Mateo and Adam are pacing around the waiting room when Dr. Clader arrives. He takes Hayley off for her first examination, in an effort to determine how far along her labor has progressed. As he wheels her away, Isabella and Rosa arrive.
Then, Leo, Brooke and Edmund rush into the hospital holding Laura, who has passed out and is breathing erratically. Joe gets Laura into an examination room and Leo and Brooke begin to demand that David come examine her. Joe explains that David no longer works for the hospital. Very upset, Leo threatens to kill anyone who impedes his brother's examination of Laura.
Jackson left an important meeting for Erica, asking to meet her at Enchantment to discuss Chris Stamp. She wants to know if he's done anything toward a background check on Chris. Erica says she's very suspicious of Chris, believes he is stalking her, and that Jackson needs to get on the background check right away. Jackson tells Erica that if she's that concerned about Chris, she should simply fire him. She immediately responds by saying, "That's not an option." To which Jackson responds with an inquiry if something is going on between Erica and Chris of a romantic nature.
Ryan enters the darkened mausoleum, with a packed bag, and begins lighting candles. Gillian and Jesse stand near the door, watching. He's come to the mausoleum to leave a gardenia at Gillian's tomb, and to let her know that he no longer has any reason to stay in Pine Valley and is leaving. Gillian cries out, saying Ryan can't leave Pine Valley. Jesse indicates that the only way Gillian has to make a difference in the lives of those still alive is through her heart. So, if she wants to find a way to get Ryan to stay in Pine Valley, she'll need to use her heart.
Back at the hospital, Joe tells Brooke and Leo that he believes David is using them. But, he does agree to let David conduct Laura's examination, under the watchful eye of hospital staff.
Adam, still pacing around the waiting area, tries to contact Liza by phone. She doesn't answer his call. But, David walks in and finds Adam in fits. Adam tells David that Liza found out about his affair with Kay and that his marriage's troubles are all David's fault. David reminds Adam that they had a deal: Adam kept David out of jail so David would keep JR out of jail. Mia tells Adam she's "busy" and can't talk right then. He demands that she meet him in the park near the hospital in 10 minutes. Mia leaves, and Stuart wishes her well. She is struck by his genuineness. Stuart then laments to Marian that he wished Adam would finally learn that telling the truth is better than lying. But, he wonders if the only way Adam will learn is by losing Liza.
Meanwhile, Mia and Marian are talking at her home with Stuart. Stuart interrupts their conversation and Mia makes it seem like she's there looking for Liza, who owes her money. That's when Mia's phone rings. It's Adam, calling from the hospital, wanting to know where she is and why she's not trailing David who is now at the hospital examining Laura.
Erica tries to convince Jack that nothing is "going on" between she and Chris Stamp. She's simply concerned by his evasiveness and his ever-present manner in her life. Jackson wonders aloud if Chris is some sort of corporate spy after information about her spring collection. Erica uses this as a means of convincing Jack to conduct a background check, but before she can claim success, Greenlee bursts in. Erica demands the new lipstick case design from Greenlee, but Greenlee indicates it must have fallen out of her portfolio when she was at the park saving Laura's life. Just then, Roger walks in and begins to charm both Erica and Greenlee. But, why is Roger at Enchantment they wonder?
Dr. Clader brings Hayley back to her family in the waiting area. Though she is having contractions, they are far apart, and she's not very dilated. Mateo asks if they should return home, but Dr. Clader indicates that she is in labor and just needs to walk around and practice her breathing while they ready a birthing room for her to wait in. Adam pulls Dr. Clader aside to ask why Hayley hasn't yet been given drugs for the pain. Dr. Clader assures Adam that when the time is right, Hayley will receive the medications she requested.
Brooke and Leo walk out of Laura's examination room and run into Edmund. Edmund asks how Laura is doing and Leo tells both that her condition is all his fault. If he'd only been paying more attention to her taking her medications, Laura wouldn't be in the hospital. Bianca enters the hospital and hears Leo talking about Laura's heart.
Ryan presents Gillian's tomb with the gardenia, wishing aloud that he could just see her face one more time. Gillian then speaks to Ryan, and he both senses and hears her. She tells him there's a problem with her heart and Ryan picks up his bag and rushes out of the mausoleum to the hospital. Excited, Gillian turns to Jesse and says, "I did it!" He agrees, but says it's time for her to find another important piece of the puzzle.
Adam meets Mia at the park and wants to know where the $100,000 she owes him is. She says she has it coming, but her plan has hit a bit of a snag. He presses her for information about David's impending hearing with the hospital board. She indicates that David hasn't shared any information regarding his plans for that hearing and Adam drags her off to the hospital where she can presumably find David and get the information Adam wants.
Leo expresses his concern about the length of Laura's examination. Brooke convinces him to go sit by Laura's bedside. This gives Bianca the opportunity to approach Brooke. First, she asks how Laura is doing. Then, she asks Brooke what will happen when Laura finally learns the truth: that Leo doesn't love her. Edmund, who has reentered the waiting area, overhears Bianca's startling accusation and Brooke telling Bianca her words and thoughts are as offensive now as they've ever been. As Bianca walks off, Brooke notices Edmund has overheard the conversation. She tells him that her only concern is her daughter getting well, and if he wishes to cross-examine her about her motives, he'll need to wait. Ryan then rushes into the hospital, followed by Adam and Mia, and asks Brooke where Laura is and what's wrong with Gillian's heart.
Leo has a flashback to the night he held a dance for Laura in her living room, while he sits by her bed. Laura wakes up and sees Leo sitting near her bed, again. She asks why he's always sitting near his "invalid wife" and when he plans to "run for the hills."
Jackson and Erica leave Roger and Greenlee alone in Erica's office. Roger pulls out an envelope of money and presents it to Greenlee. He says he feels badly about having pilfered from her trust fund and plans to repay her. She accepts the money, but tells him she has no time to chat as she needs to visit a "friend" at the hospital. She leaves and Roger follows, but he's stopped at the door to Erica's office by Chris. Gillian and Jesse show up in Erica's office and watch their exchange. Roger calls Chris "Buddy" and asks him to kindly let him pass. They get into a brief and silly argument over the term, with Chris saying he didn't like being called "Buddy" as it sounds like a dog's name. He lets Roger pass, and enters Erica's office. He picks up the phone to call someone, but Erica catches him in the act. Gillian and Jesse disappear. Erica tells Chris it's time for the two of them to have a chat. They sit down and get into an argument of their own. Chris wants to know if they will always address each other by their last names, and if that is a means of Erica trying to keep him in his place. She asks him why a big, strong man like himself would want to work for a cosmetics company rather than outdoors doing something with his hands. He reminds her that he was a janitor and was quite happy with that work until she fired him and then hired him as her personal "Guy Friday." He then mentions that he noticed a problem with her computer wiring. Just as they're about to argue about that, Val calls and Erica rushes out to assist him. Chris then picks up the phone and dials again.
As Ryan and Brooke discuss Laura's condition, David and Joe exit Laura's examination room and tell them that Laura suffered an arrhythmia, which may or may not have been connected to her missed dose of medication. It could also have been caused by stress.
Hayley has become much more pained during this time and approaches Dr. Clader with the news. He takes her back for a second examination to see if she's more dilated. Mateo and Adam follow. Isabella and Rosa talk briefly about the excitement of Hayley's impending motherhood, but Rosa says she doesn't like being in hospitals, "even when they're for a good thing." As they follow Hayley, Gillian and Jesse show up at the hospital. Brooke and Leo have gone in to see Laura, leaving Mia and Ryan alone in the waiting area. She approaches him and says, "Hey Buddy. Looks like you got some good news for a change." He becomes very angry when she calls him "Buddy" and tells her to use his real name. He also says he was planning on leaving Pine Valley, but he's since changed his mind. Gillian is excited that Ryan has decided to stay in town. She also tells Jesse that she's figured something out: Ryan and Chris must be connected somehow. Because both of them became very upset when someone called them "Buddy." Jesse asks what she plans to do with her newfound discovery, and she shrugs her shoulders.
Back at Enchantment, Chris is telling someone that he's narrowed his list of suspects to two: Roger and Greenlee Smyth. Erica catches him on her phone when she reenters her office. He quickly hangs up and starts tending to her computer problem. She rushes over to him and grabs his jacket, saying "I told you to leave it alone!" As she pulls his jacket back, she notices the gun and holster he has attached to his belt. Knowing she's seen it, Chris stands and faces her. Frightened, Erica demands to know why he's been lying to her. He admits he's been lying to her from "day one."
As David completes Laura's discharge paperwork, he notices Adam and Mia chatting in the waiting room. Just then, Laura is wheeled out of her room by Leo and Brooke. Greenlee enters the hospital and is seen by Laura. Laura makes a point to say that what pulled her through was having Leo by her side. She then gives Greenlee the dirtiest look her sickly face can muster!
Dr. Clader wheels Hayley back into the waiting area to give her family an update. Her labor is progressing quickly and he's taking her up to the birthing room immediately. Both Hayley and Mateo are concerned about why things seem to be moving so quickly, and Dr. Clader admits that he has a slight concern about the child. It seems that during her second examination, it became evident that the baby's heart rate dropped at each contraction. He tries to assure them that everything will be fine, but Hayley and her family look very concerned as he quickly wheels her away."
