Adriana sat back sobbing and whining for the stalker to “please stop it!” as he continually forced Rex’s head underwater in the pool. Finally, when the bubbles stopped coming up, she grabbed a towel, wrapped it around the assailant’s neck and pulled him off Rex. The stalker fled and Adriana pulled Rex out of the pool. Rex caught his breath and said that he’d get Bo to help them track down the stalker, but Adriana was worried that if Dorian finds out about the stalker she’ll never let her out of her sight. Rex agreed to hold off on telling the police, but said he’ll spend the night to protect her, sleeping on the couch. Rex bent down and picked up a butterfly cut-out off the ground.
Cristian and Evangeline got hot and heavy and then Cristian suggested that they “make love.” When Evangeline hedged, Cristian told her she was brilliant and beautiful, then whispered something in her ear that made her giggle. “I really want you, too,” she said. “But would it kill you, would it make you crazy if we just wait a little bit longer?” Cristian agreed to wait and “bask in the yearning” for a little while if that’s what Evangeline wanted.
Natalie pulled John off of Vincent and they left together and went up to the roof. John was upset with himself for losing his temper. He again mentioned how he doesn’t feel redemption even though now they have a suspect in his father’s murder and will probably win a conviction. They decided to shut out their troubles, lie back on the roof and look up at the stars together. They dozed off and John had a dream about being in the execution chamber with David strapped to the chair, about to be put to death, telling him that he’s got the wrong guy.
Vincent poured champagne for himself and Layla. She told him how she never liked John or Natalie ever since Natalie broke up John and Evangeline and broke her sister’s heart. When Layla stepped away, Vincent talked to his thug associate about how he bet against Cristian in the last fight and how they need to make sure that he doesn’t again get inspiration from Evangeline and win the next one.
Bo thanked Hugh for standing by him even with the mayor breathing down his neck. Bo then turned in his gun and his badge. “You’ve got to treat me like any other suspect,” Bo said. Hugh lamented not being able to pin things on Spencer. Bo called Evangeline and asked her to come to his office. He asked her to be his defense attorney. Evangeline said that she’d help, but can’t be the lead attorney for him. She said it’s because she’s still struggling with her blindness. “I can’t risk your freedom to take on this case by myself,” she said. Bo told her that he believes that she is the best attorney available. She said he was wrong.
As Spencer left with Blair he told David to meet in his room in 30 minutes. Then he took Blair up to his room and gave her a sleeping pill when she said she was suffering from insomnia of late. Blair pretended to take the pill and then faked falling asleep. Spencer leaned over her and called her name in her ear to see if she’d respond. When she didn’t, he assumed she was out cold. A moment later David stopped by. Spencer told David he has to plead not guilty. He told David the evidence against him is flimsy, but David said he doesn’t want to live with it over his head any more. Spencer told David to trust him and just plead not guilty. He reminded David how he’s protected him for 25 years, but David said it was more like he’s held the murder over his head for 25 years. Blair sat back listening to it all. David said fine, he’d plead not guilty and trust Spencer to make sure he gets off. Spencer went back into the bedroom where Blair had already laid back down pretending to sleep.
