In D.C., North pressed Randi to sleep with him for old time's sake, as he put it. He told her that he had never stopped loving her and begged her to come back to him. She tried to fend off his increasingly determined advances and smacked him across the face. He threatened to tell Frank about her visit and tried to force himself on her, so she clocked him in the head with a bookend and, after he fell to the floor, rushed out of the room.

At the hospital, Jesse vented to Frank and Angie about North. Angie thought Jesse was wasting his time trying to jump through North's hoops. Jesse told Angie that he was going to go to D.C. to inform North that he's resigning. Angie didn't want him to do anything so rash but Jesse said that he intended to make a public statement explaining his reasons for resigning (North's lack of interest in seeing justice truly served).... Randi called Frank and tried to act like nothing was wrong. She then realized that she had left an earring behind in North's room. Frank told Angie that he could tell that something was wrong with Randi.

At the Chandler manse, Erica got in Annie's face and Annie snapped and began to strangle La Kane. Adam burst in and expressed concern solely for Annie. Erica was horrified by Adam's behavior. JR walked in as Adam was summoning the cops. JR defended Erica to Adam, who wasn't interested, while Erica cautioned a blasé Annie that she wouldn't get away with this. After Erica left, Annie and Adam together tried to convince JR that Kendall's allies are trying to pin Stuart's murder on Annie. JR continued to rail against Annie. After JR left, Adam got Annie to admit that Erica had said something to set her off. JR grabbed Annie and told her that he knows she's guilty.

Zach went to Ryan's looking for Zach. Kendall called and Zach begged her to come back. She said that he would just have to trust her. After Zach left, Kendall came into the penthouse and told Ryan that she needed him. When Erica showed up, Kendall was forced to hide. A rattled Erica filled Ryan in about her violent encounter with Annie. Kendall watched from behind a plant as Erica insisted that Annie killed Stuart. Ryan got Erica to leave but by that time, Kendall had already fled.... Kendall went to the mansion and tried to get through to Adam, insisting that Annie is guilty and that he's a fool to dismiss the claims of Erica, the best friend he has. Adam told Kendall that he had been closely observing Annie and was positive of Annie's innocence. Kendall informed Adam that she had a way to change his mind. Kendall left and Annie and JR entered. Adam claimed to now remember everything about the night Stuart died, which seemed to upset Annie. Kendall listened nearby — and someone grabbed her and clamped their hand over her mouth.

Zach went to the casino to get his people looking for Kendall; Madison approached him looking for info on who Henry was cavorting with in D.C. Zach urged Madison to stand up and show the world what kind of man her husband is. She admitted that she doesn't want to live like this anymore. Madison showed up in North's room and her bloodied husband begged her to help him. "I wish I could," she said icily. "But right now, you're making it very hard for me to love you." She was poised to finish the job that Randi had started, holding the bookend over his head.... Randi returned to North's room and found him dead on the ground. "Oh, my God!" she gasped. Jesse entered shortly thereafter and asked his daughter-in-law what had happened. She told him about her history with Henry and about what had happened since she got to D.C. Jesse tried to comfort her.

Erica approached Zach at the casino for a Kendall-related powwow. He assured her that he would make sure that Kendall is at her trial. He saw Madison, who was back in town, ordering champagne. She told Zach that she had taken his advice and shown her husband that she does have power.
