At the coffeehouse, Fen begged "Lauren" to take him home, and was relieved when Michael walked in. Michael scooped him up and berated "Lauren" for picking up their son without permission. "I really wish things didn't have to be like this," she stated unfeelingly. Michael glared at her suspiciously before leaving with Fen.

In the interrogation room at the police station, Owen Pomerance confronted Nick and Victor. He attempted to get Victor to waver on his confession, but Victor held fast. Pomerance threatened to put pressure on everyone associated with the kangaroo court "until one of them cracked." He warned that the people they cared about would pay the price if Nick and Victor didn't drop their act.

Nikki and Ashley arrived at the Abbott mansion at Jack and Billy's request, to discuss the murder investigation. Soon after, Victoria, Phyllis and Sharon joined them. Billy lit up upon seeing Victoria, who ignored him. Patty spied on the group from the stairs. Billy tried to flirt with Heather upon her arrival, but she was distracted by her flashbacks of "Patty" begging her to run a DNA test. "Emily" burst downstairs to confront her husband about Phyllis' presence. Jack asked her to calm down, but instead she stormed out of the house, claiming she had a patient to see. The meeting began, with Phyllis and Sharon announcing to the group that the "D.A.'s office was out of control." The two women expressed their concern that both Nick and Victor were locked up, and suggested that the group send a message that they would not be treated this way by suing the D.A.'s office for false imprisonment. "Are you guys in?" Phyllis inquired. The group looked puzzled. Rafe and Heather declined to participate, saying that the D.A.'s office wouldn't be intimidated by this, and that they were trying to get their jobs back. They left in disgust. Michael arrived, and the group informed him about their idea. Michael was hesitant. Accusations between the Newmans and Abbotts flew back and forth, with Ashley announcing that she believed Victor was capable of murder. Jack opted out of the lawsuit, but Billy pledged his support. The group theorized that the murderer could be someone outside their group that had a grudge against Adam. They griped that the police weren't looking at anyone else, because Victor had confessed. Just then, the doorbell rang and the group was shocked to see Pomerance at the door. He asked everyone in the room to take a lie detector test. His suggestion was met with opposition, but he contended that by taking the test, each of them could prove their innocence and get the D.A.'s office off their backs. "The ball's in your court now," he announced, and left. Michael's opinion was that the group should cooperate, and that meanwhile he would do everything he could to free Nicholas. Everyone left, and Phyllis and Michael were alone. She told him that he could talk to her anytime ... day or night. Michael was grateful for his good friend.

Daniel and Amber continued to argue about Amber's need to find and protect Little D. Amber worried about the "dragon lady" finding him and hurting him. Daniel assured her that the child was safe with her mother, but that she should call Tawny to put her mind at ease. Amber was thrilled to get his go-ahead to place the phone call, and kissed him in excitement. She dialed her mom, but the phone number was disconnected. "I'm going out there," she announced. Daniel objected, and suggested calling the Sherriff instead. Amber panicked as she called information in Furnace Creek and asked to be connected to the sheriff. Amber was calmed after hearing that Tawny's trailer had not been broken into, but was still nervous because her mother wasn't home. "I'll wait twenty-four hours, then I'm going to Furnace Creek!" she announced.

In her office, Patty placed a call to Sarah asking her to meet her there. "I'm sick of Phyllis putting her grubby hands all over my husband!" she shrieked. "It has to stop!" Sarah agreed to come over. When she arrived, the two women agreed to go ahead with their plan to murder Michael and Phyllis the next day. Patty cried hysterically to Sarah about how she was tired of everyone walking all over her. "Not anymore," Sarah stated matter-of-factly. "Patty is taking her life back." Patty was nervous that they would get caught, but Sarah assured her that she had everything planned out ... down to the last detail. "This will work, Patty," Sarah whispered. "But you have to be committed." Patty's resolve was steeled. "For Jack ... I can do anything!" she snarled. Sarah produced a handgun. Patty picked up the gun and pretended to aim. The women reiterated why they wanted Phyllis and Michael out of their lives. "I think we make one helluva team," Sarah growled.

Heather and Rafe went to Crimson Lights for a cup of coffee. Heather unburdened herself to Rafe about how her Aunt Patty had begged for a DNA test to prove she was Emily. Heather was doubtful that a switch could have taken place, but she was bothered by it. Knowing that Heather would fixate on it, Rafe suggested she run the DNA test, so that she could put it out of her mind. Heather agreed. She dialed the lab and asked for the test to be run in a personal capacity, rather than professional.

Victoria and Billy met up at the GCAC bar. She sheepishly apologized for "not being very nice" to him when he attempted to help her in court. "I know you meant well," she admitted. The two flirted, and Billy leaned in for a kiss. Victoria recoiled and asked him if he was crazy for trying to kiss her in public. Billy pointed out that the "cat was already out of the bag" after his announcement in court, but agreed to back off. "I love a challenge," he grinned. A smile crept across Victoria's face.

Pomerance returned to the interrogation room. Victor demanded that Nicholas be released. Pomerance refused, saying Victor was in no position to demand anything. The Newman men were led away. An officer handed Pomerance some new evidence — a cell phone with Adam's fingerprints all over it. Pomerance was eager to have the lab test it.
