After pulling an all-nighter at The Intruder, Andy and Emily are exhausted. Emily finally was able to salvage the magazine from files saved on her computer and replaces the article about John with an article about a picket going on in Washington D.C., leaving the Roxie article in tact. Andy still doesn't approve, but Emily leaves to take it all to the press before deadline...which is in half an hour. After she successfully drops it all off, she decides to pay Roxie a little visit. Roxie answers the door in some sexy lingerie, and she asks Emily to leave because she's expecting someone very special. Emily tells her it won't take too long and proceeds to read Roxie the riot act. Roxie denies knowing what Emily's talking about but Emily leaves her with a threat...Leave her, Andy, and all of Oakdale alone or she will regret it!! Roxie, appalled, gives Emily the boot.

Meanwhile, Andy goes to see John in lock-up, for he still hasn't posted bail. Andy asks his father how he can be so manipulative and expect good to come out of it. He tells his father that he's happy with Emily. For once in his life, he has found the half that makes him whole. John pleads with Andy to post bail and Andy agrees, but only if John leaves Oakdale immediately! John agrees and a few minutes later, John is a free man.

Craig awakens to the warm, soothing scent of hot cocoa. Lyla gives her son his cocoa and asks Craig what he knows about this Rico Perez man. Craig says that the man followed him all the way from North Carolina to Oakdale and has been following him ever since. After he gives a brief rundown of what happened in the parking lot and what Rico said his beef with Craig was, he then goes on to thank Lyla and Margo for pulling him off the man because frankly, things might have turned deadly if they hadn't. Margo, who's been on the phone this entire time, returns and lets them know that Rico has a few head injuries but should be fine. She then delights them with the news that Rico isn't pressing charages and if the matter were to ever be brought up in the courts, Craig could rightfully plea self defense. Craig starts to feel bad about how badly he beat up Rico and along with Margo, who wants to know the full story behind Rico's obsession with her little brother, he decides to go to the hospital to speak with Rico. Little do they know that Lucinda has just arrived at St. Joseph's, asking for Rico herself.

Chris comes downstairs and finds Ben talking at the table with Bob. Chris automatically assumes they're talking about him and goes off on both of them, telling them both not to judge him. Bob has no idea what Chris is talking about and demands Chris apologize to Ben. Chris retorts that it'll be a cold day in hell when he does that! He slams the door and goes to Yo's for a quick drink. Bob wonders aloud what Chris's problem is. He just can't shake the feeling that something is terribly off with his son. Ben calms his fears and assures Bob that he'll get to the bottom of it. Later, Ben makes a phone call to Windy Falls Medical Center in Grand Rapids, Michigan. He asks to make an appointment to speak with Dr. Dagar.
