John saw blood on the ground outside Dorian's and jumped in the pool to rescue the floating body. He turned it over and came face-to-face with Talia, who wasn't breathing. She still had a knife in her stomach as he dragged her out and checked her pulse. Fish came running over and John pronounced her dead.

Schuyler walked in as Stacy was tossing a bag of blood into a medical-waste bin. He asked what she was doing, and she lied that she threw a tissue in there by accident. Stacy told him to stop prying, and Schuyler pointed out that she was overreacting. Stacy was even more irritated when Schuyler noted that Rex is not her boyfriend and more like her "bitch."

Roxy got tongue-tied when she said out loud that it's not Stacy's blood that's saving Shane. Gigi was so upset that she didn't pick up on Roxy's error. She explained that she made a promise to God that she would give up anything if Shane could get better. Roxy urged Gigi to just come clean with Rex about Stacy's blackmail. They visited Shane along with Rex, and Roxy told Shane that his mom is amazing and would do anything for him. Nevertheless, Shane asked to see Stacy. Roxy promised to find her but gave his parents a little time alone with Shane. Rex pulled Gigi into a hug as they watched Shane nod off.

At the diner, Charlie seemed distracted as Viki talked of Shane's bone-marrow transplant. She said she was happy to have Chloe's christening take place amidst such woe, like Matthew's accident. As she talked of Nora and Bo helping their son through his recovery, Charlie asked if that's why Clint was "all over" Viki earlier. She admitted to feeling a friendly closeness with Clint because they share children but nothing more than that. Still, Charlie said he felt like second string and was jealous when he saw Clint's arm around her waist. When Viki assured him that she's with Charlie, he asked why they're not living together then. Viki asked him to come to Llanfair, but he was hesitant about living at her home. She assured him that wherever he is is home to her and it would be their home. He agreed, as long as he could bring his CDs.

Roxy went to see Stacy and gloated that she's lost her leverage with Rex. Gigi asked Rex if they could speak privately and was about to tell him what's going on when Shane went into distress. Stacy peered in as Michael tended to Shane, who was complaining of stomach pains. After the scare, Michael assured Rex and Gigi that they're managing his pain and his fever. Stacy crept up behind Gigi and told her to take a break. She dragged Gigi into the hallway and reminded Gigi of her promise to God.

John pointed out the KAD ring on Talia's finger, which Fish noted was supposedly in the evidence room. With Zach in lockup and John's prints on the knife that stabbed Blair, Fish had to ask John if he killed Talia. At the PD, Bo and Nora were discussing John when the mayor stormed in wanting to know if John had been picked up yet. Just then, Fish called Bo with the tragic news about Talia. Knowing his friend is innocent, Fish gave John a chance to run. Marty begged John to take him up on it, but John opted to face the mayor, who arrived and instructed Fish to arrest John.

Roxy wandered into the clinic with a bottle of champagne and drunkenly told Rex's father that she got what she needed and never has to see his face again. Suddenly she was being choked off-screen. She called for a nurse and claimed that the patient lunged at her throat. The nurse accused her of drunkenly imagining things. "It's alive," Roxy seethed. The nurse refused to believe her; Roxy told her to watch her back. Schuyler crept back into the room where Stacy tossed her blood and removed the bag. Roxy returned to the hospital to find Gigi looking solemn as Rex and Stacy fussed over Shane. Stacy told Rex she hopes her blood wasn't the cause of Shane's problems. Outside, Roxy asked Gigi what happened while she was gone. Back at the clinic, the nurse remarked to Rex's mystery dad that Roxy is crazy, then walked out. The shadow of an arm rising was seen on the wall.
