After a successful Cramer Christmas, Dorian had one last gift for Langston: her certificate of adoption. But Dorian said it wouldn't be final until she was initiated with a shopping spree in New York City. But Langston was unsure about spending New Year's Eve away from Llanview and Markko, especially when she got a call from Markko telling her about the concert. Dorian understood and assured Langston that New York would wait.

Todd didn't think Marty would be at his house unless she was there to kill him. Marty explained that she was there to retrieve her journal. Todd apologized for how Téa treated Marty in court. She opened the journal and began to read from the first page, but kept "reading" when she got to a blank one. She said she had planned to spend New Year's Eve with him and wasn't sure she could shake those feelings she had for him. Todd wondered if there was a chance for them to reconcile. Marty became angry and walked out but later phoned him to make a secret plan for New Year's.

Rex was curious as to why there was a huge line outside of Ultra Violet, and was stunned when Gigi unveiled a Puddle of Mudd concert poster. She explained that the band was stopping in Philadelphia on their tour and that Sarah phoned in one of her connections to have them make a Llanview detour.

John rang the bell at Dorian's and surprised Blair with a kiss. She returned the favor with two gifts: a Hawaiian shirt and a vintage Lester Young LP. John presented her with two tickets to paradise, literally. He explained that the trip can be open-ended and that there's nothing keeping him in Llanview at the moment. Blair was even more thrilled when John asked if she had any New Year's Eve plans.

Beaver Calhoun informed the Buchanans that Asa has one last message for them, just as David was explaining to Charlie, Viki, Noelle and Moe that he had gone through a transformation. Beaver realized he'd popped in the wrong disc when it was Asa saying he was proud of them. He swapped DVDs and there was Asa telling his family that they failed him and let the company sink, which means they all lose everything. Asa said he was clear about his instructions the prior year: If the stocks go up, they all get their inheritance, but if they go down, they're out on their butts. Who would inherit the fortune was an even bigger shocker: David Vickers. Asa acknowledged that David's a snake in the grass, and it's up to them to stop him from getting his hands on the fortune. Clint asked how they were supposed to do that, and Asa "answered": "Figure it out!" Beaver went to track down David and inform him of his inheritance. Clint suggested they outsmart Vickers, which shouldn't be too hard considering they're the only ones who know, but Nigel informed Clint that there are two other people who know the truth: Alex and Max.

Meanwhile, David recalled his journey from Llanview and the experience that changed his life. He was sitting on a plane that was about to crash when he turned to look at the man next to him who was extremely calm. David asked how he was able to achieve such Zen, and the man took him on a journey of self-discovery on a mountaintop. He was now on a mission to atone for his sins, which includes confessing to people he has hurt. He then revealed that he knew Dorian was the one who held Charlie against his will and drugged him. Viki didn't even stay to hear the end of the story and stormed off to see Dorian. Charlie followed. "I feel unburdened," David announced, pleased with himself. Viki and Charlie arrived at Dorian's and Viki dropped the bombshell that she knows what Dorian did to Charlie, then threatened to involve Bo. Dorian decided she'd better leave town. Just as Nigel was telling Clint that Alex is in St. Blaze's, Dorian packed her bags for the island.
