Starr begged her dad to let her go back to La Boulaie, while Cole imagined that Matthew was taunting him to jump out the window. He suggested that if Cole was paralyzed, too, then they'd be even. "You're right," Cole shuddered, gripping the window ledge. Cole nearly threw himself out the window when Starr rushed in. Cole couldn't believe that Starr was really there, but she assured him he wasn't hallucinating anymore.

Viki was curious as to why Brody was hiding in the bushes and demanded an explanation. Brody began to tell Viki that he really cares for Jessica, but Natalie came out and gave him hell. Jessica and Brody pretended not to get along for Natalie's benefit, but when Nat was gone, Jess explained to her mom that Gigi's in a real bind and insisted that Brody is not a bad person.

Gigi and Rex returned home with Shane, who quickly told them to stop pretending that everything is okay. "If you're gonna move out, just go already," Shane frowned. Rex assured Shane that he would still be in his life and this wouldn't change anything. Shane went upstairs in tears, while Gigi sobbed on the couch in the wake of Rex's exit.

Stacy talked to a sleeping bum while applying her makeup and asked how she looked. The woman woke up and asked for a dollar. When Stacy handed it over, the bum remarked that Stacy looks like a prostitute, then suggested that she play the "damsel in distress" to seduce Rex.

After her curious run-in with Brody and Jessica, Viki headed over to the carriage house to check on Gigi. She noted how Gigi was so happy before Stacy came to town and asked if Rex moved out because of Stacy. Gigi insisted that it was Brody who came between them but Viki surmised that there's more going on and that she doesn't believe Gigi cheated on Rex. Meanwhile, Stacy showed up at Rex's with a sob story about how Schuyler kicked her out. She asked whether Rex bought Schuyler's claim about Stacy supplying someone else's blood for Shane, but Rex thought it was preposterous. Rex readily agreed to let Stacy stay, then went to get her some towels and sheets. "This is easier than I thought, Sissy," she sneered to a photo of Gigi while Rex was gone. When he returned, she noticed how sad he looked and asked if he's sure he's okay. He said he'd been through a lot but nothing was worse than this. Rex left her alone on the couch, and she gave a little ho-hum frown.

John offered Marty the only bed in their hotel room, but she pointed out that it's not like they'd never spend the night together. John looked around the room and observed that it wasn't dissimilar to the place they'd spent their one night together. "One? Was it that bad?" Marty asked. He told everything, that they were on an impromptu road trip and made love at the motel, then Marty was kidnapped. They leaned in closer to one another as John said how meaningful that night was. They seemed close to kissing, but went to bed and held each other instead. "Thank you for telling me about us," she whispered as he curled up behind her.

Blair showed up at Todd's demanding to see the kids. She revealed that she fled her hospital bed when she heard he'd gotten custody and wanted to make sure he wasn't running off with the kids. Todd refused to hand over their children, so she plopped down on the couch and said if the kids are gonna stay there, so is she.

Viki failed to get through to Gigi, and once she was gone, Shane came back downstairs and apologized to his mom. Brody and Jessica resumed kissing in the garden and admitted that they were both turned on by pretending to be angry with each other. Back at La Boulaie, Cole told Starr that he loves her and curled up in her arms.
