Liza then took off with Colby, taking Adam's passport. Gillian accepted Jake's proposal after catching Ryan and Greenlee together. David covered for Alex, and told everyone he had tripped and fallen down the stairs. Erica knew Alex was the reason he had fallen.

Gillian confronted Adam about his plans to tell Jake the truth and learned that Adam wouldn't say anything for fear that he would never see Liza and Colby again. Adam tried to convince Gillian that she should tell Jake the truth. Leo agreed to help out at a soup kitchen to get closer to Becca. Greenlee overheard Scott and Ryan both say that they had no long-term interest in her. Janet set up a booby trap at an old warehouse for Sophie, but Hayley unwittingly set off the trap when dropping by to check on her aunt. Sophie found an unconscious Hayley and dragged her off to a remote corner of the warehouse before playing dead on the floor. Janet returned, and Sophie sprang to life. The women struggled, and Janet ultimately killed Sophie in self-defense -- with a crowbar. Trevor appeared on the scene and told Janet that he'd take care of everything. One of Sophie's discarded cigarettes started a blaze at the warehouse with Hayley still inside. Mateo arrived just in time to save her. Trevor confessed to Sophie's murder, but disappeared before he could be charged with the crime.
