Monday

Ryan apologized for not being there for Greenlee when she lost their baby but she said going back to that is "too much" for her. He still wanted her to be happy and hoped that she'll be able to carry her baby to term, if she is pregnant. The exes decided they could be friends and Greenlee ignored a phone call from David. They headed to their meeting and after, Ryan produced a home pregnancy test for her to take. Greenlee didn't think it was necessary, but kissed him on his cheek for his concern.

She called him "obsessive" and "paranoid" but he said she had 24 hours to get the job done. After she left, Liza waltzed in and David shared that he was going to Rio to see what was going on with Greenlee and Ryan. Liza advised him not to go. Marissa called Liza and asked to see her so David tagged along to check on what was going on with his daughter.

behavior.

At the Chandler mansion, Damon prepared to saw off his cast. Colby helped him finish the job. When he vented about Tad having abandoned Hillary with a kid, Colby pointed out that he had done the same thing to Bailey. They ended up in a smooch, which Liza walked in on. Liza told Damon that Bailey is going to study abroad for a month so he has to go back to Ohio to tend to Stuart. Colby proposed that Damon bring the baby to the mansion instead.

Erica went to BJ's to confront Ryan about having offered his aid to Greenlee. Erica was relieved when Ryan shared that he had gotten Greenlee to agree not to press charges against Kendall. Greenlee went to Jack to give him the new contracts and he probed her about how things had gone with Ryan. Greenlee insisted that her marriage to David is solid. After Erica left BJ's, Madison (on orders from David) sidled up to Ryan and told him she was dating someone new. Erica went to Wildwind to see Greenlee, who wasn't there, so Erica settled for trying to make David feel insecure about Greenlee. In Erica's presence, David knocked over Greenlee's bag and the pregnancy test spilled to the ground. David told Erica to get out.
