It's the day of Grant's birthday bash and everyone pours into the Lakeview's seventh floor party hall.

Dana is dressed to perfection with a blue dress. She spots Milly in a black business suit and scolds her mother for not coming festive like they had agreed. Milly tells her daughter to buzz off.

Milly walks by Jack as he holds a conversation with Holden. Holden confesses Lily's been nervous acting ever since Craig stalked him back to the house last night. Jack asks what Holden plans on doing and Holden says that after Craig left last night, Lily just went upstairs to bed. When he woke up this morning, she was gone.

Meanwhile, Lily sits at her desk at Worldwide. As she stares at a picture of herself and Holden, Craig's words vibrate through her head. "You weren't so 'behind' your husband the night you were busy locking lips and God knows what else with Mike Kasnoff". Though not that threatened by his blackmailing ways (she knew he hadn't changed any), she does wonder how Craig knew. Craig appears and apologizes to Lily for last night. Lily's disgusted at just the thought of being in the same room with him and politely asks him to leave her alone. Craig refuses, ordering her to hear him out and adhere to his demands or he'll blow her precious love affair with Mike Kasnoff out into the open waters. Craig tells her that if she doesn't want to be exposed, she'll convince Lucinda and Holden to sell him their stock and convince Lucinda to give him the company. Lily tells him that such a feat's impossible. Craig sticks by his words and tells her that if she decides otherwise, then he'll decide otherwise against keeping her secret. Soon, Lucinda arrives and Craig high tails it before she can say anything. Lucinda asks what that was all about, but Lily tells her to leave it alone. They have a party to go to.

Roxie arrives with Lisa and the two can't believe the work that Dana has done. It looks spectacular. Lisa goes up to Dana and asks Dana if she would be interested in re-decorating the Lakeview rooms. Dana is flattered, but tells Lisa that she's leaving town tonight after the party. As Dana and Lisa talk, Roxie gets a call from Chris. He apologizes for acting like such an ass yesterday. He explains that he hasn't felt like himself in quite a long time and asks what her plans are for the day and later that night. Roxie invites Chris to the party and is even more surprised when he actually walks up right behind her.

Emma arrives and finds Dana. She notices Dana's rather on edge and assumes that she's nervous about the party. Milly comes up to them and strikes small talk with Emma, glad to finally meet the woman who was ever-so-close from making the mistake of giving her heart to Grant. Dana excuses her mother's rudeness. Milly walks away. Later, Lisa finds Emma and asks to borrow her lipstick. Lisa walks towards Emma's purse as the camera zeroes in on a gun inside the purse!
