Dorian caught up with Alex on St. Blaze's Island. "I don't have anything on David for you," Alex said. Dorian hinted that she would sue Alex for running her over last year, adding that she'd enjoy owning this "whole island." Alex told Dorian that David was really Asa's long lost son. Dorian couldn't believe Alex. Alex explained she had overheard Nigel telling Max this tidbit at Asa's funeral. Alex assured Dorian that David didn't know the truth. Alex added that Nigel had given her his island for her silence about David's paternity. Dorian wondered why David didn't know he was a Buchanan, but agreed that Alex's story did make "a certain amount of sense." Alex confirmed that Jared had known the truth about David. Dorian didn't think Alex's tidbit was of any use to her. Alex left. Dorian overheard a gentleman (Asa's attorney) asking the bartender for David Vickers' whereabouts. Dorian invited him to join her. Dorian asked him for details but he didn't want to spill. "Don't worry, you can trust me," she purred.

Clint and Nora couldn't believe the new David Vickers. "Anybody can buy a costume," Clint said. David understood that people would have a hard time believing he's changed. David worried Clint when he told them he wanted to talk about the Buchanan family fortune. David then referred to them as "brothers" which startled Clint and Nora even more. David announced that he was no longer interested in money. He only asked Clint for his forgiveness. "That's all?" a stunned Clint asked. Clint and Nora watched as David went to help an old woman. Nora wondered if David would be so "devout if he knew he was worth a fortune." Nora suggested Clint contest the will. Clint thought if David knew he was worth lots of money "that robe would be on the ground." Clint again expressed his despair that David was his brother. David said he would love to return to Tibet if Clint would only forgive him. Eager to see David out of Llanview, Clint immediately forgave David. David was very happy. Nora asked David when he would be leaving. David said he wasn't leaving right away because he had many people to ask forgiveness from. David's next stop was Dorian. Nora realized that if David was hoping for forgiveness from Dorian, "he might be here forever."

Renee was stunned that David was Asa's son. "I wanted Jared to be his son," she told Nigel. "I'm so sorry," Nigel said. "David Vickers is such a loser. A con man," she cried. Clint and Nora told Renee that David was back in Llanview and studying to be a Buddhist monk.

Jared wanted Natalie's opinion on a decision he had to make. Jared explained that Clint had offered him his old job back, but wondered if Clint had done that because Jared was now engaged to Natalie. Natalie assured him that though Clint loves her, he wouldn't hire Jared back if he wasn't a good worker. Natalie told Jared he should do what he wants and shouldn't take the job because of her. However, Natalie thought that Jared really did want to work at BE. Jared agreed that he loved working at BE but only wanted to do what she wants. "BE needs you right now," Natalie reminded him.

At Marty's suggestion, Todd jumped from the roof into the water. On the docks, Blair and Téa wondered they had just heard. "It's over," Marty said falling to the floor. Marty pulled herself up and went back into the hotel room where she found John looking for her. John asked Marty what was going on. He had read her journal and was there because Cole was worried. John asked where Todd was. "He jumped off the roof," Marty told a surprised John. John ran from the hotel room.

Blair told Téa that she thought Todd should be put away "for the rest of his life." Téa asked Blair what happened to her. "Todd was the love of your life," Téa reminded her. Blair told Téa about Todd's plans for Starr's baby. Téa didn't want to listen. The two stopped talking when they saw John. John took off his jacket and dove into the water. Téa and Blair grew hysterical and wondered who was out there in that cold water. Marty joined them at the dock. John pulled Todd out of the water and Blair performed CPR on him. Marty just watched. Todd coughed up water. "I tried," he said to Marty. Blair and Téa wondered what he meant. "Why didn't you let him die," Marty asked them all. John and Blair congratulated each other for saving Todd. Todd rejected Téa's attempt to give him a blanket.

Marty hopped on the back of a stranger's motorcycle. "Need a ride somewhere?" he asked.
