Neil was outraged after hearing Mackenzie's explanation about Cane's lawsuit. "Tell me you're not going there!" Neil growled at Cane. Devon was furious that Cane would go behind his sister's back and act against her wishes. Malcolm was the only one defending Cane, saying that he had a right to try to save his wife's life. "If I have to go to court to have my side of this heard, then so be it," a defiant Cane stated. Mac said she would fight him every step of the way, and Neil pronounced that he would back his daughter one hundred percent. The more Cane protested, the more suspicious Neil became that something was wrong with Lily. Cane broke down and admitted that the French treatment wasn't working and that Lily's life was on the line. "Please don't say no to me now!" Cane pleaded tearfully. Mac stood firmly in her position. "You want an ugly court battle? You've got one!" she shouted and rushed out of the apartment. Neil didn't understand how Cane could have betrayed Lily.

Victor awoke from the blow to his head and found himself on the bar floor. The bartender placed an icepack on his head and informed him that he had been jumped and robbed by Shaw Roberts. A dizzy Victor stumbled to a bar stool and begged her to spill everything she knew about Shaw and Adam. "I'll make it really worth your while," he pleaded. He found out her name was Meggie, and offered to help spruce up her bar in exchange for information about Adam. Meggie didn't have any interest in "squeezing" Victor for money, but he played on her sympathies by bringing up Summer. Meggie began providing details, such as the fact that Adam had rented a room for several days, and that he had left it spotless when he left. She also recalled that he had stared at a photo on the wall. She produced the photo, which Victor studied. "She looks familiar," he mused, unknowingly looking at Skye's face. He flipped the photo over to find a message about waiting for Shaw to contact her. The message ended with: "See you in paradise." Victor used Meggie's cell phone to snap a photo and text it to Michael. He followed it up with a call to Michael, who identified the photo as Skye. They put two and two together, and realized that Skye had faked her own death. They agreed not to disclose their new information to Nick until they had more to go on. Victor asked Meggie to rent a room, and instructed her to contact Shaw and have him meet him there tomorrow night.

Phyllis and Michael arrived at the ranch with baby Faith. Peering in the window, Phyllis seethed at the sight of Nick comforting Sharon on the sofa. Sharon protested that she didn't need any help; that she wanted to be an independent woman and good role model for Faith. Michael and Phyllis entered with the baby. Nick went upstairs to put her to sleep, and Michael left to take a phone call, leaving Phyllis and Sharon alone. Their claws came out, with Phyllis accusing Sharon of playing the damsel in distress. "For the love of God, do you HAVE to live at the ranch?" she screeched. Sharon surprisingly agreed, saying that she too was uncomfortable living there, and wanted her own space to live her own life. "You're serious about finding a place, then? I'm on it!" Phyllis exclaimed. Nick took Phyllis home. Once there, he kissed her and reassured her that he loved her. They kissed passionately, which led into making love on the couch.

A half-clothed Adam and a freshly-showered Skye discussed the possibility of Victor tracking them down. Skye encouraged Adam to keep focused, because they were "so close to the biggest score of their lives." She pulled him into a steamy kiss. They were interrupted by his ringing cell phone. It was a judge returning his call, who agreed to meet with Adam at the hotel. After showering and dressing in a fresh suit, Adam was ready to meet with the judge. Skye produced a thick envelope and lamented that it meant cutting into their winnings, but acknowledged that it ensured Adam would never be extradited if Victor found him. "I'm not as worried about that, as I am worried about how easy it would be to kill a man who is legally dead," Adam disclosed. Skye produced his wedding band that she had found in a drawer. "Are you wasting your time pining away for Blondie?" she teased. Adam explained that he had truly loved Sharon; that she was different from any other woman he had ever known. Skye encouraged him to leave the past in the past, and focus on the con that they were about to embark on. She reminded him that if they played their cards right, they could walk away with millions before Victor had a chance to track them down. Adam chucked the ring out the window, and agreed to look to the future. Skye smiled victoriously. Adam left to go meet the judge, but once outside the hotel room door, pulled the ring out of his pocket. He paused in the hallway, thinking about Sharon. Simultaneously, Sharon sat on the veranda at the ranch, rocking Faith, thinking out loud about starting a whole new life for herself.

Mac and J.T. arrived at the Club to meet Michael to discuss Cane's lawsuit. Mac was sorry that their date had been ruined, but J.T. understood. Cane followed them there to persuade Mac to change her mind, to no avail. Michael arrived and took a look at the subpoena. Michael announced that Cane would never win. "It doesn't need to be like this!" Cane cried. "As long as I'm carrying these babies," Mac said definitively, "It does."

Back at Neil's apartment, Neil tried desperately to get a hold of Olivia. He finally reached her, and asked for the truth about the status of Lily's treatment. He hung up the phone sadly, announcing that the treatment was failing and that there were no other trials available for another year. Devon suggested perhaps Cane was right. "I want her to live!" he pronounced. Neil said he wanted the same, but didn't want to go against his daughter's wishes. Devon wondered if Neil was ready to just sit back and let Lily go ... especially after they had already lost Dru. Neil dialed Olivia again and asked if there was anything else the doctors in France could do for Lily. Upon learning that nothing else could be done, Neil instructed Olivia to send Lily home.
