Phillip wakes up with Claire and refuses when she tries to seduce him. Later he tries calling Marlena but Claire overhears him and tries to "kill" herself. He finds her just after she collapses from her overdose and takes her to the bathroom to get rid of the contents of her stomach. Later he is trying to get her to walk it off when Caroline turns up. They tell her they had a champagne breakfast and Kim is a little drunk. By the end of the program, Kim is trying to seduce Phillip again.
Lawrence and Ivan plot to get rid of Lisanne's body. It seems that poor old Ivan is the one to do the dirty deed. Her car has been driven off a cliff and her body incinerated in the ensuing inferno. Lawrence goes to the hospital and tricks Vivian into admitting that Nikki is his and Carly's son. She begs him not to tell Carly saying that Carly will take him away and he will never see the child again. Meanwhile Carly gets a call saying that Viv is rapidly recovering. When she gets down there she finds Lawrence haranguing Vivian and she is not terribly receptive later when he says he has something to tell her.
Victor tells John that Lisanne has made some faulty investments seemingly without Lawrence's knowledge and the bottom is falling out of the Alamain stock. John makes some inquiries that back this up. He also calls Marlena to let her know about his altercation with Roman. Unfortunately he interrupts her as she is trying to get the vent cover back in place. She breaks down briefly and wonders how she missed (or ignored) all the Stella signs. She is musing as the snake comes slithering over to her. It takes a good bite of her arm and she beats it to death with the dustpan lid (as you would!). She ties her arm up in a sling and decides that she has to get out of there. She eyes up the vent, knowing it is her only way out....

Phillip tells Claire he can't make love to her because he loves Kim. She tries to talk him into it and he eventually agrees but tells her that he has to get Kim's stuff out of the room first as there are too many reminders. She goes off to do something else and he sets up a video camera in a plant. When she comes back (with her Claire wig on), he lets her get him on the bed and then tells her he can't do it. She isn't happy.
Jack is trying to clean out the attic when he comes across a box of Jenn's old toys. Later he gets Bill over and asks him if he can get in touch with the old tenants to get them to come and get their stuff. Bill tells him that none of it is wanted and to just throw it all out. Jack protests but Bill insists that he couldn't get hold of those people even if he wanted to.
Carly refuses to listen to Lawrence, telling him that her future is with Bo and nothing he can say will make any difference. He remembers what Viv said about him losing Nikki and he leaves. Viv discharges herself and heads back to LaAlamain. Hot on her heels are Lawrence, John, Victor and Carly getting together for a family meeting. John and Vic demand to know what's going on with Lisanne and the money disaster. Lawrence doesn't know a thing about it until they explain. However, at that moment Bo arrives to tell them that Lisanne has been killed. Lawrence of course sheds nary a tear and is more concerned with how to contain the business damage. Everyone leaves, Carly last after telling Lawrence (once again) how despicable he is.....

However she is not letting Marlena go, she wants her to phone Roman and the kids and tell them she's going to Washington and will be incommunicado for several weeks. She has a script, but when Marlena is talking to Roman she tells him she won't go if he doesn't want her to. He is too angry to hear the distress in her voice and tells her to go. After she has called the twins, Stella instructs her to get back down in the pit but Marlena makes a run for the door. After a struggle, Stella gets in control again but neither of them notice that Marlena has lost her earrings. Marlena climbs back down into the pit but not until she has knocked down some bolts. By the end of the program she is knocking one into the wall.
Kim sees Phillip slipping the video tape into the drawer and when he is gone she pulls it out to have a look. Roman arrives before she can put it in the machine and begins to question her about the day she was at the evidence room (Benny had told him earlier).
