Marissa reeled when David shared his theory that Liza is passing off David's son as her own. She said she would help him try to get to the truth.

Liza showed up as Krystal was interrogating Jake about whether Liza's baby is truly Liza's. Liza threatened to take legal action against David if he didn't stop stirring up trouble. Krystal remained suspicious but said that she would try to get David to back off. Liza returned home with the baby and Colby answered the door when Marissa knocked. Colby took the tot to feed him as Marissa made nice with Liza. Marissa and Colby then went for a walk with Stuart and Marissa pumped Colby for info on the baby. Colby's comments made Marissa think there was something to David's theory....

David met up with Krystal on the waterfront and claimed to realize now that Liza's baby was not his. Krystal admitted that she still loves David but refused to reconcile with him, insisting that they can't make their dysfunctional dynamic work. He refused to let her go but she walked away. Krystal went back home and told Jake that David wouldn't be a problem anymore. She remained heavy-hearted over her conversation with Krystal. Jake then got a phone call and told the caller to give a kiss to the little guy for him....

Annie consoled Adam, who had just learned of North's death and wondered whether justice would ever be served in Stuart's murder. Adam assured Annie that he wouldn't let the new D.A. pursue her as a suspect. Annie then showed Adam her skimpy bikini and invited him to take a swim with her.

Jesse met with Asst. D.A. Willis, who was taking over Kendall's case. Willis noted that unless he found North's files, they would have trouble prosecuting Kendall. Jesse tried to get Willis to consider Annie a suspect. Natalia came in with the news that Annie was on the run. They headed to the mansion, where they realized that the swimming pool had falsely indicated that she had fled. Annie agreed to be questioned by them. Once alone with Jesse, Annie maintained her innocence and told Jesse that she was going to marry Adam.

Madison gave Zach North's files in Kendall's case. Madison denied it when Zach accused her of having killed North. Madison told Zach that she had seen North's killer on the hotel security tapes and that the "dirty hooker" had had help in covering her tracks from Jesse. Madison said that she had destroyed the surveillance tapes. Zach took the files and brought them to Liza. Zach informed Liza that she was now Kendall's lawyer and that he expected an acquittal. Liza realized that he was blackmailing her and that she had no choice but to comply. Colby and Marissa returned and was surprised to hear that Liza had taken Kendall's case. Marissa suggested to Liza that she hire her as a law clerk. Colby told Liza that she thinks that Marissa is trustworthy. Meanwhile, Marissa reported on her encounter with the Colby women to David. David stopped her from washing Stuart's spit-up off of her dress so that he could test the DNA.

Kendall came to see Ryan, who was fresh out of the shower. Kendall was stunned when Erica came downstairs, wet and clad only in Ryan's shirt. Kendall bolted and Ryan told Erica about North's death. Erica was embarrassed when she realized that Kendall thought she and Ryan had had sex and tried to leave before returning to put her clothes on. Erica departed after giving Ryan a quick peck. Kendall, meanwhile, went to Fusion and threw a poster with Erica's face on it to the ground. Erica showed up and took note of the poster on the floor. She tried to assure her daughter that there was nothing going on with her and Ryan. Kendall sulked that Zach doesn't want her anymore. Erica continued to maintain that Zach still loves Kendall. Kendall was horrified to hear about Annie's attempt to strangle Erica. Zach called and told Kendall to hurry home. After Kendall left, Erica picked up the poster and put it back where it belonged. She looked at herself in the mirror and thought back to her sprinkler romp with Ryan. Adam arrived and ranted at Erica that she's the lunatic, not Annie. Adam was upset with her for siccing Jesse on Annie. Erica defended herself, saying that if Adam wasn't careful around Annie, he'd end up dead.... Kendall returned home and had a strongly adverse reaction to Zach's announcement that he'd hired Liza as her attorney.

Aidan went to Ryan's and Ryan said that he was done trying to help Kendall. Aidan complimented him for cutting his ties to a woman he'd never had to begin with. Ryan couldn't stop thinking about his time with Erica.
