Ryan expressed his frustration to Zach over Kendall's unwillingness to consider the cochlear implant surgery for Spike. The tension between Zach and Ryan reached a boiling point when Zach wouldn't tell Ryan how he was handling the Greenlee situation. Their heated confrontation included some low blows, like Ryan pointing out that his sister died at Alexander's hands. Later, Ryan spent some quality time with Emma.

At The Comeback, Aidan tried to wrestle a soused Greenlee away from Wheels. Aidan dragged Greens outside and she came on to him; Aidan wasn't interested. Greens got sick due to too much alcohol then sat down with Aidan to talk more calmly. Aidan told Greenlee he was no longer working with Zach. Aidan recommended to Greenlee that she admit the truth about the accident to Kendall. Greens was terrified of going to jail, she made clear. For his part, Aidan made clear that he believed Greenlee to be headed down a destructive path.

Annie arrived at Fusion and updated Di on Spike's condition. Di was concerned when Annie revealed that she'd made contact with a mysterious someone in an effort to help Spike. Said person hadn't returned her message yet, Annie told Di, who advised her to come clean with Ryan about her past. A jumpy Annie then made covert arrangements to travel out of town.

In Spike's room, Kendall got a call from Bianca, who was in Paris. Binks picked up on Kendall's conflicted feelings for Ian. Next, Kendall spoke to Jack, telling him she wanted him to put Greenlee in jail. Zach stopped by while Kendall was napping and chatted with Spike, bringing him to meet his little brother, Ian.... Kendall dreamed about a fun family picnic with Zach and her boys that was interrupted by Greenlee. In her dream, Kendall stabbed Greens in the stomach. When Kendall woke up, Greenlee (the actual one) was standing over her.

Zach, Kendall, Ryan, Josh, Jonathan, Erica and Annie met with Joe and Dr. Norton, who informed them that Spike's hearing deficit was "extensive," meaning that he had suffered profound hearing loss in both ears and is deaf. As the docs explained that Spike has a chance to hear again with an implant, Kendall insisted that her son isn't deaf. Annie and Zach tried to console their respective spouses while Erica told Jack she knew exactly how Kendall felt — that she didn't want her child to be different. Greenlee, meanwhile, tried to sneak in to see Spike posing as Bianca. Josh nabbed her before she was able to get in to see the baby and confirmed to her that Spike is deaf. Greens, nearly hysterical, believed that she could do something to help the child and also that she could make Kendall forgive her if Josh would let her see her erstwhile best friend. Jon spotted Greenlee and demanded that she be thrown out of the hospital. "Nobody wants you here," he spat. Josh defended her, which further infuriated Jonathan.... Zach tried his best to get Kendall to rest, but she refused to leave Spike's side. Annie said she'd go check on Ian; Zach was grateful.

At the park, Erica expressed her fear to Jack that their relationship couldn't survive what his family member had done to hers. Jack reminded Erica that they were taking about their family, as opposed to his and hers. Erica wasn't soothed. La Kane wanted to rejoin Kendall and turned down Jack's offer to accompany her.

At The Comeback, Lenny the sleazy manager tried to convince Ava that he could make her a star. He didn't have to try hard. Colby and Krystal watched from across the room and it was obvious that Colby was in no hurry to forgive Ava for what she'd done to Sean. Greenlee showed up and ordered so much liquor that Krystal demanded her driver's license just to be safe. Greens complied and told Krystal about Spike's condition. Colby and Krystal were saddened by the news.... Ava bragged to Colby about the huge star she was going to become; Colby told her about Spike's deafness.... As Greenlee got more and more wasted, she was chatted up by a patron calling himself Wheels and she agreed to leave with him. An arriving Aidan intervened before Greenlee could do her last shot; he watched with alarm as Greens drew Wheels into a sloppy kiss.

Ava showed up at the hospital with a teddy bear and balloons for Jonathan (well, for Spike via Jonathan). Jon was touched and expressed his gratitude to Ava.
