Later on, Anna is back at McGregor, triumphant in her victory.
Anna: I got the company back.
John: You certainly did.
Yvette: It's nice to have this company back in the right hands.
Roberta: I'm just glad we got ahold of that information when we did.
Anna: Thanks to Aaron.
Aaron: This company is my family's legacy, I helped out.
Anna: We couldn't have done it without you. And John, thank you, you bought me enough time.
John: That's what I do, no problem.
Anna: Well, celebration can only last so long. We've got to get back to business, we have several new stores opening and we need everyone's best effort.
Yvette: My marketing strategy is ready to go, so we are good in that area.
Anna: That's great. In light of what has happened, I want to hold a fresh shareholders vote and nominate Aaron and Roberta as members of the board.
Aaron: No, I didn't do this for reward, I just did it because it was the right thing to do.
Roberta: Neither did I, Andrew was a good friend and client.
Anna: Never turn down a reward, that's what I always say. Besides, we need smart people in this company.
Aaron: I'll give it some thought.
Anna: How about you, Roberta?
Roberta: I'm game, it's been awhile sense I was in the corporate sector, I'm ready to come back.
Anna: Good, it's settled. And Aaron, I do hope you will consider my offer.
Aaron: I will.
The phone rings and Anna answers it.
Anna: (into phone) Hello?
Lynette: Mom, it's me.
Anna: What's wrong, you sound upset?
Lynette: It's Jim, he's in the hospital, he's had a heart attack.
Anna: Oh, no. How bad is it?
Lynette: I don't know, they rushed him to surgery.
Anna: I'll be there soon. (hangs up) That was Lynette, her husband Jim has had a heart attack. I've got to go.
Anna prepares to leave.

At the hospital, Elliot and Eleanor have arrived.
Eleanor: What could have happened?
Lynette: He had a heart attack
Eleanor: I don't understand.
Elliot: I don't either.
Lynette: He was so upset.
Eleanor: I thought he was in such good help, what could have caused that?
Elliot: There must be something else to it.
Lynette: (hesitant) He had been drinking and I think he was on something else too.
Elliot: What?
Eleanor: Oh, my god, no.
Lynette: I feel so responsible right now.
Eleanor: You should, you caused this whole mess in the first place.
Elliot: Please, calm down, dear. This isn't the time.
Eleanor: I can't believe this is happening.
Dr. Claiborne comes out of the ER.
Lynette: Dr. Claiborne, these are Jim's parents, Eleanor and Elliot Craig.
Leslie: Pleased to meet you. Your son's condition is very stable right now, he's had a heart attack, but was wheeled in at just the right time. Plus, he had extremely high levels of valium in his system.
Elliot: Valium?
Eleanor: What? I didn't even know he took that.
Leslie: It seems have had an effect on his condition, he's not conscious right now.
Eleanor: Is there anything you can do?
Leslie: We had him in surgery for awhile now, all we can do is wait.
Eleanor: Does he have a chance of pulling through?
Leslie: He has a very good chance, my concern is what damage the valium may have done. I've got to get back, but I will update you when I know something new.
Elliot: Thank you, Doctor.
Anna and Yvette walk in.
Lynette: Mom, I'm so glad you're here.
Anna: When did this happen?

At the jail, Cassandra is in a holding cell, George is with her.
George: I don't get it, I really don't. We had this sowed up, but you had to destroy it.
Cassandra: I had to do something, the shareholders would not have been convinced with you
study. It had to be solid.
George: It was all lies, lies. The only way we were going to win is to do it all legal, it was the only way.
Cassandra: If I had just hidden that disc better, this wouldn't have happened.
George: You don't get it, you shouldn't have done it in the first place.
Cassandra: I just wanted you to have what should be yours.
George: I've called you a lawyer, he's well known in Novi and he should be able to get you off light.
Cassandra: I apologize for this turning out like it did.
George: Don't do that. Just worry about yourself and these charges you are up on. I've got to go back to Lightner
and explain to our shareholders how this mess happened.
Cassandra: Is everything going to be okay?
George: I'll find a way to fix it.
George leaves.

Carol returns to her office Donahue Headquarters, dissapointed. Trish walks in.
Carol: I bet your glad right now, since you seemed to feel so sorry for the McGregor.
Trish: I'm glad they got the company back, I'm not glad that you ended up in a bad deal though.
Carol: It looked so good, I thought it would work.
Trish: Can't say I never thought the whole thing wasn't trouble.
Carol: It was a good deal, but it ended up going the wrong way.
Trish: You're lucky you didn't get caught up in the dragnet, you could have easily been brought down too.
Carol: I'm on the up and up, Donahue is a clean corporation.
Trish: Sometimes in these things, the SEC just doesn't care and everybody gets in trouble.
Carol: What's done is done, nothing lost, nothing gained.
Trish: Something to be thankful for.
Carol: I suppose all that time I spent working that deal, I could have spent helping you plan your wedding. How is it coming?
Trish: Henry and I still haven't set a date yet.
Carol: What's the hold up?
Trish: There is none, we just haven't decided yet. And if you say one word about Joseph, I'm leaving.
Carol: Who said I was going to talk about Joseph?
Trish: I know you, you were going say I'm still pining away for him.
Carol: I was not going to say that.
Trish: Yeah, right.
Carol: Okay, okay, you caught me. It just seems a little odd that you keep putting things off, Henry's a great guy and it seems like you would be jumping at the chance to get married.
Trish: I'm not listening.
Trish walks out.
