- At the Bauer house…Mel has fallen asleep on the sofa while watching television and doesn’t hear Ed and Michelle come in from a late dinner. Ed inquires about Michelle and how she’s been feeling lately. Michelle tells her father that she is fine and reassures him that her episode in Washington D.C. was just because she wasn’t getting enough sleep…which she says she needs and head upstairs to bed…leaving Ed alone in the kitchen where he hears a frantic Mel wake from what appeared to be a nightmare…
- Harley manages to catch up with Gus at the house and asks him how he is feeling.

Before Gus can respond Vera arrives…
- Her plane having been delayed in Oakdale, Lillian is just now arriving back home in Springfield, as a thunderstorm appears to be rolling in.

She asks Josh if she was out of line for slapping her and he assures he she was not and that what Marah said she didn’t mean.

She thanks him for being there supporting her through all of this…Josh tells her there is not any other place he would want to be…the couple kiss and later make love!
- Phillip inquires about what is wrong with Mel and Rick says that she has been acting weird lately. Phillip urges Rick to give her time, let her deal with Roxie on her own terms and for him no to push her. Rick says that he wants to do that but he really wants to start a family with Mel and he’s not sure if she wants that.

Rick thanks Phillip for the talk and leaves…

- Vera tells Gus that she has his adoption papers and assures him that everything with the Joe and Angela was legal. She says that his father was a good, honest man…that understood why she did what she did. Vera says that Joe helped her fake her death and that she did all of that to assure that Gus had a good life, which he did. Vera says that her coming here changes his past, not his future. Harley scribbles her telephone number down on a small piece of paper and tells Vera to call them tomorrow, that she and Gus need time to process this information. Vera tells Gus she does want to get to know him better and then leaves, as Harley leads Gus upstairs to bed.
- Ed gives Mel a warm cup of milk and asks if she wants to talk about it. Mel says that it was just the same dream she has been having for the last couple of nights…as Rick steps into the kitchen, unnoticed…Mel says the dream is the same thing over and over again, Roxie running her down. Ed says that she needs something to take her mind off of everything, Ed suggests that Mel help him plan an old fashion Bauer Christmas, the ones like Maureen used to host…he says it would be good for her, Rick, Michelle and especially him. Mel agrees…as Rick wonders outside if Mel is being distant because of him!
- Lillian is glad to see that behind the wheel of the car is Billy Lewis. After searching through his car Billy realizes that he doesn’t have a jack either. As the storm sets in Lillian calls triple A and they say it will be an extra 60-90 minutes, Billy suggests that he offer her a ride, but she tells him the triple A operator told her not to leave the vehicle, then much to her surprise Billy says he’ll wait with her…as he climbs into Lillian’s car she splits a candy bar and the two begin talking and laughing!!
- Blake arrives at Outskirts and orders a shot of Jack Daniels…slams it and takes another one! As the bartender pours it for her, Blake begins cursing aloud, “Son of a bitch…” over and over until Phillip questions if she kisses her children with that mouth. Blake turns to him and displays a devious smile…Blake asks him if she’s changed over the years…that Phillip has known her for a very long time, when she was good and bad…Blake questions why bad things happen. Phillip says that he doesn’t really know and doesn’t really have time to figure it out with her…Blake downs her Jack Daniels and tells him that he’s a son of bitch and a nephew of a bitch as well, but then again if the seed is bad…Phillip says he has no idea what she is talking about and leaves…headed towards Lillian’s house to see Beth…
