Ashley arrived at Restless Style looking for Abby, who was there for a cover photo shoot. Abby entered the room and was happy to see her mom. Ashley was surprised to see Abby's bright makeup and enormous hair. Noah arrived in his outrageous clothing for the shoot, commenting that he felt like a "dork." Before beginning the shoot, Abby asked Ashley to be careful around the house even though Estella had been arrested. Ashley reassured her and sent her on her way. After the shoot, Fashion Editor George was very enthusiastic about how everything had gone. Abby and Noah discussed his current living arrangements. He confided in Abby that he was thinking of "divorcing" his parents so that he could live wherever he wanted. Abby sympathized with Noah about being "bounced around" but expressed to him that he would be miserable without his family. She asked him if he really could see himself living in a shabby one-bedroom apartment and subsisting on Ramen noodles. "This was all Eden's idea, wasn't it?" she spat, as Eden entered Restless Style. "If Noah should be emancipated from anyone, it's YOU!" she screamed at Eden. As Abby got on the elevator to leave, she told Noah he was making a huge mistake that he would regret.

Michael and Kevin visited Jana in jail and discussed a plan to get her out on bail. Kevin had come directly from speaking at an assembly at the high school about his experiences as the Silver Chipmunk and how he had become a better person. Michael instructed Kevin, who was eager to help Jana, to ask his "Chipmunk followers" to write letters of support to the judge on Jana's behalf. Although Kevin didn't think it was a good idea to bring his past misdeeds to light, Michael disagreed, saying that it was their best strategy. After Michael left to meet with Daniel, Jana confided to Kevin that she was extremely sad to be in jail again and to not be wearing her wedding ring. He assured her that they would do anything it took to get her out.

At the coffeehouse, Daniel and Amber discussed ways to clear his and Jana's names. Amber suggested making a "grudge list" — a list of all the people from his past that might want to see him crash and burn. Initially, Daniel couldn't think of anyone who hated him enough to set him up for murder, but then he remembered an old enemy, Alex. Michael and Kevin arrived, and Daniel apologized to Kevin about what had happened to Jana. Kevin forgave him and pledged to join him and Amber in trying to figure out who could have set Daniel up. Kevin was surprised to hear the name Alex again after so many years had passed. He doubted that Alex had the brainpower to pull of such a complicated operation. Additionally, he reminded them that Gloria still had incriminating security camera footage of him. Just then, a group of high school girls came up to Kevin after recognizing him as the speaker from their assembly that morning. Michael and Amber were impressed with how Kevin had turned the Chipmunk nightmare into something positive for others. Several phone calls had also come in for Kevin, asking him to do motivational speeches for events. Michael was convinced that they could use Kevin's newfound popularity to help Jana's case.

Outside on the patio, Daniel and Michael discussed more strategy. Daniel asked Michael if he thought the fake Aucker's cell phone, which had contained Daniel's number, might contain further evidence. Michael conceded that it might, but that there was no legal way to obtain it until the trial. He warned Daniel not to do anything stupid. Daniel, instead, went to Kevin and informed him of his plan to get a hold of the cell phone. Kevin adamantly refused to be a part of it. Daniel reminded Kevin of how fiercely Jana had protected him when he needed it, and that he should do the same for her now. Meanwhile, Amber did an internet search for herself, and discovered that she might have a cyber stalker. She texted her old friend Ali (who had been in a web series with her) to see if she had been targeted too.

Before leaving the coffeehouse, Michael found Eden working behind the counter, and the two discussed how nice it was that things were normal with the family. He congratulated her on her grades and told her that he was proud of her ... that he knew it hadn't been easy. Eden admitted that although she missed her dad and her old life, she liked having a real home. She disclosed that Noah had made the transition much easier for her. Michael asked if the couple was "proceeding with caution." He seemed squeamish about the subject himself, but said that she could always talk to Lauren about anything. He advised her that she shouldn't be in a rush to grow up."Serious happens soon enough," he said. He informed Eden that he and Lauren wanted to keep her around as long as she wanted to be there. Eden smiled. Michael left to go to the courthouse to see the judge.

At the courthouse, Heather intercepted Michael. She announced that he was wasting his time with the judge, because she intended to open up Jana's old murder case and link it to the new one. Michael went to the jail to break the news to Jana. She lamented that she had killed someone before, and that even though it was a brain tumor that made her do it, she still took a life. Michael reminded her of all the good she has done in her life. He told her that she has proved everyone wrong, and that things would look up because she has a good heart. She said she was lucky to have such wonderful people in her life. Michael proclaimed that he would pull out every trick in the book to stop Heather from succeeding.

At the Newman ranch, Heather arrived to see Adam. The eye specialist, Dr. Donahue, arrived at the same time, and she introduced herself. She went upstairs to fetch Adam for the eye exam. He was in his room, furious because Dr. Taylor couldn't provide him with a bottle of Botox to replace the one he had accidentally broken. He managed to pull himself together, and Heather expressed her excitement about the possibility of hope for Adam's eyesight. Adam was frustrated, and told her that he didn't want to go through it all again. He even begged her to cut off his ankle monitor with a knife. She refused, saying that she believed in him, and that they would get through everything together. She had to leave for the courthouse, but not before he promised to give the doctor a chance.

Victor entered Adam's room to announce Dr. Donahue's arrival. He told Adam that he owed it to his mother to take advantage of an opportunity that she never had. Adam resigned himself to his fate. He imagined Victor's wrath if he were to get caught. He finally sat for the exam. Ashley arrived during it, and just in time to hear Dr. Donahue's stunning findings. The doctor announced that he had found puncture wounds in the cornea ... that it appeared as though Adam had been injecting something into his eyes. Victor grabbed Adam by the shirt and demanded answers. "Is that why you didn't want to see the doctor, because you were afraid of getting caught?" he seethed. Adam scrambled to come up with an explanation. He claimed that in prison, other prisoners had jumped him and stabbed him with hypodermic needles to torment him. He said that he had never mentioned it before to Victor because he didn't want to show weakness.

Victor asked Donahue if Adam could have been injecting himself to try to fool other doctors. "My tests indicate that he has been suffering from the disease for some time now," replied Donahue. Adam was stunned and horrified to hear this news. There was more bad news, though. Donahue announced that the injections had damaged nerves and muscles, meaning that Adam could never participate in trial drugs or experiments. Victor wanted to know what that meant for Adam's future. Donahue informed them all that the disease would run its course and the outcome would be permanent blindness. Nothing further could be done. Adam was overcome with sincere fear and grief. After Adam retreated to his room, Victor admitted to Ashley that he had been wrong to accuse Adam of tormenting her, and that he should have done more to get him out of jail sooner. Ashley went up to Adam's room to attempt to comfort Adam. She found him distraught, and assured him that she would help him through this, just as he had been there for her and the baby many times. She pulled him into a hug and begged him to just let her help him now.
