Cole shocked Langston, Starr and Markko with the news that Clint had brought Ray to Llanview specifically to get back at Dorian. Langston wondered why Clint let Cole tell them. They were surprised to learn that Clint attempted to blackmail Cole into keeping quiet. Cole suggested that Ray might not even be Langston's uncle. Langston couldn't believe that, but Markko and Starr agreed with Cole. "He could be working you," Markko said. "That judge could be paid off," Starr added. "I can't believe this," Langston said, shaking her head. She thanked Cole for the information but thought it was too late now that Ray was named her legal guardian. Langston didn't want to proceed without talking to Dorian first. The teens rushed to the police station and asked to see Bo or Dorian. The sergeant at the desk said Bo was busy and visiting hours were over.

Dorian begged for water — bottled water — in her cell. Jackie McNaughton paid Dorian a visit. "What can I do for you?" he asked. "You can get me out of here," she replied. Dorian explained the Ray Montez situation. She asked Jackie to protect Langston "from a criminal. I was hoping you could come up with a more permanent solution." "Once I cross that line, there's no going back," he warned. Dorian began to cry at the thought of what might happen to Langston in Colombia. Jackie asked Dorian to sleep on it. If she felt the same way tomorrow, she should contact Addie and she'd get in touch with him. Jackie left. Dorian breathed a small sigh of relief.

Gigi desperately searched the hospital halls for Shane, who had disappeared.
Bo assured her he couldn't go far. He offered to hunt for Shane, and suggested Gigi stay at the hospital. A doctor told Gigi that because she wasn't family, he couldn't give her any information on Rex's condition. Gigi said the rosary.

A locked-up Brody kept having conversations with the dead Iraqi boy. He apologized for shooting him. Shane made it to the police department and asked to see Brody. The media swarmed the sergeant's desk, so Shane made his way to the jail by himself. Brody kept blurring Shane and the Iraqi boy. "Why won't you leave me alone?" he yelled at Shane, thinking he was the Iraqi kid. "You are not my son. Go away!" Heartbroken, Shane took a step back from the bars. Bo stood behind him and comforted his emotional fall. Later, he called a much-relieved Gigi to report that he found Shane. Gigi didn't have any update on Rex's condition. "What did you do to my dad?" Shane asked Bo. "He's confused. He's really hurting," Bo explained. "Because he was in the war?" Shane asked. Bo nodded and assured Shane that Brody would be well taken care of. Bo brought Shane to Gigi. Gigi told her son that a drunken Brody had torn up the house and knocked Marcie out. She added that Brody hadn't left her any messages on her phone about a camping trip. Gigi looked Shane in the eyes. "Brody is not your father," she said.

Natalie watched Tess and Bree's bedtime moment. Jared entered the room when he heard Tess tell Bree to "say good night to Aunt Natalie" via the closed circuit camera. A surprised Tess covered, saying that they always say good night to the entire Buchanan family before Bree goes to bed. Tess laid the child down and Jared stood in the middle of the room, trying to make sense of his situation. Tess reminded him that while she'd lost the love of her life, "Natalie has blown you off." She began to plant anti-Natalie seeds in Jared's mind. She explained that Nat had trust issues and was messed up because she had Roxy for a mother. She continued to badmouth her sister but Jared told her to stop. "You are not going to trash her to me," he insisted. Tess apologized and insisted she hadn't meant it that way. She explained that she had only wished Natalie had "handled this whole thing with compassion." Jared apologized for having lost his temper. The two parted on good terms. Tess noted that she always feels lost after she puts Bree to bed. Jared and Tess (and Natalie) learned from the television news that Rex had been shot and was in the hospital.

Tess visited a hysterical Natalie, who begged to see her injured bro ASAP. "No," Tess said flatly. "I can't let you leave." Natalie started to cry when she heard Jared say that he heard from reporters that "they didn't think Rex was going to make it." Tess started to dance around, singing, "Rex might not make it,"
taunting poor Natalie. "You can't plan torture like this," she smiled.
