While Maggie and Paul were visiting, Gloria remembered confessing to William, before he suffered a stroke, that she had tainted the cream. After William managed to write the word "murderer" on a pad, Michael and Gloria quickly shifted the subject of discussion to Jana. However when Michael realized that Gloria's continued insistence that Paul and Maggie leave William alone seemed suspicious, Michael gave William a pad and pen and asked him if he knew anything about Jana. William wrote the word, "No," on the paper.

Maggie insisted that she wasn't giving up her plan to help William solve his cases, but Michael, Lauren and Gloria told Maggie and Paul that it's a matter of life or death to find Kevin. Gloria was also concerned that Kevin's condition could deteriorate. Paul checked, but learned that Kevin had not used his credit or ATM cards. Later, at the coffee house, Maggie told Paul that she was worried about William. She also said that she couldn't stop thinking about the fact that William had written "murderer" on the paper and that Gloria kept William isolated.

Meanwhile Jana contacted Kevin via Webcam. Kevin told Jana that he had $500,000 that he had won at a casino. Jana expressed her concern for Kevin's health when she saw his bruises, but Kevin was persistent at his attempt to lure Jana to Genoa City. Later, Kevin called Amber and Daniel and ordered them to meet him at the Chancellor estate to dig up the money. When Colleen became suspicious about why Daniel was in such a hurry to leave the apartment, she secretly followed him. Before Colleen arrived at the estate, Kevin told Amber and Daniel that he needed to use all of the money in order to impress Jana. Amber, Kevin and Daniel quickly hid the money when Colleen found them, but Colleen threatened to call Michael and the police unless she was told what was in the bag. When they finally told Colleen about the money, they claimed that they had hidden it for Amber's missing cousin, but were borrowing it in order to lure Jana back. Later, Kevin showed Jana the money over the Webcam. However, Jana didn't know that Colleen, Amber and Daniel watched her interact with Kevin on his computer, out of the camera's view.

Victor told Jack, Sharon, Karen and Neil that the jet crashed because someone planted an incendiary inside the plane. Victor theorized that the target could have been Jack. However, Victor insisted that Nick not be told about the sabotage. However, Victor ordered Newman emails and other correspondence be gathered for investigators for fear that the attempt could have been organized by the mob in retaliation for the video released by Nikki's campaign manager. Victor said that until they know who the target was, they cannot know the saboteur's motives. Victor didn't want the Newman employees alarmed, so he forbade anyone to discuss the sabotage or their speculations about threats to people within the company. Neil alerted the mailroom to watch for suspicious deliveries, but Victor still would not allow Neil to tell Nick that the plane crash was no accident. Victor said he was certain that the authorities would catch whoever sabotaged the jet. Later, Victor told Karen that he knew that she didn't like him. Karen explained that she blamed Victor for Nikki having lost the election because Victor didn't offer his support. Jack and Victor exchanged terse words when Victor told Jack that he didn't approve of Jack buying his was back into the Clear Springs project. Jack sternly advised Victor that he had better adjust to the idea if they both wished to profit from the partnership.

Nick returned the office. Logan showed up to check on Nick. When Nick offered to repay Logan for saving his life, she refused money in lieu of free cosmetics for life. Nick told Logan that he feels as if he has stepped into someone else's life. Nick said that he wished he could have his old life back, a life when he was married to Sharon. When Sharon and Jack stopped by, Nick openly flirted with Sharon. Nick was shocked and angered when he learned that Victoria had long ago fired Sharon as Newman's spokesmodel. Jack couldn't believe it when Nick told Sharon that he'd try to rehire her. Later, Sharon told Jack that Phyllis had divulged to Nick about Sharon's affair, the blackmail and about Phyllis' indictment, but that Nick understood and wasn't angry. Jack changed the subject to Clear Springs, but he nixed a plan to have Sharon involved at the present time because of security concerns. Sharon was disappointed when Jack canceled her public appearances.

Nick told Neil that he was still in love with Sharon and that he couldn't believe that he had hurt her. Neil explained that after Cassie died and Nick divorced her, it took a long time for Sharon to move on, but that she finally had moved on. Neil urged Nick not to undo the progress Sharon has made. Later, as Nick and Sharon shared an elevator ride, Nick told Sharon that she would be perfect for his new campaign. He begged Sharon to come back to work for Newman.

Daniel, Colleen, and Michael tried to reason with Kevin and get him to hand over the gun. But every time Kevin weakened, Jana said something that infuriated him again. Finally Colleen got in between Kevin and Jana. She said that he didn't want to kill Jana or he'd have already done it. Nor would she take the gun and do it for him. Colleen said she'd come to believe that he had changed, but if he could kill Jana, then he hadn't and he might as well kill himself, too, and become just someone she used to know. Kevin handed over the gun and called the police, telling them where he and Jana were. Daniel said he had to clear out before the police got there, and Michael said he should leave, too. Colleen refused to leave, and Kevin called Michael's phone from his cell so that Michael could rush in just after the police arrived. Jana reminded them all that she could tell the police a different story, but Kevin said they wouldn't take the word of a psycho killer.

Gloria was working with William and showing Lauren how much he'd improved when a new assistant D.A. arrived. She said she just wanted to meet William and let him know she'd be taking over some of his caseload. Paul and Maggie arrived and Paul was stunned to see the new assistant D.A., Heather, who he knew from the past. Heather remembered him, too, from when she was a young girl. She'd been working in Chicago but had jumped at the chance to return to Genoa City because she wanted to work in a small town. Heather said her first priority was the extortion case against Phyllis Abbott. Maggie and Paul had to leave because Maggie got the call that Kevin and Jana had been found.

Maggie and Paul arrived at the warehouse to find Colleen and Kevin. Jana, still cuffed to a pipe, swore that Kevin had lured her there and tried to kill her. Kevin pointed out that if he'd wanted her dead, she was at his mercy, so he could have killed her. Michael arrived and told Maggie that Kevin wasn't going to answer any more of her questions. Colleen insisted that she was going to take Kevin to the hospital at once. Maggie wondered why Colleen was there, and Colleen said that Kevin had called her. After they left, Michael got a call from Lauren to let him know that Kevin had been found. Michael said he knew and that Kevin was on his way back to the hospital and Jana was in police custody. Before he could hang up, Lauren warned him about something else. There was a new D.A. who was making Phyllis's case a priority.

Cain got the mail he was expecting from the Las Vegas wedding chapel. He looked over the marriage certificate then sealed it back up. When Amber arrived, he gave it to her and said it was a surprise. She pretended to be happy when she saw their marriage certificate, then Cain pretended to notice that his signature on the certificate didn't really look like his handwriting. Amber reminded him how drunk he'd been when they got married. After Cain left, she called the wedding chapel and made sure there were no photos of their wedding. When she found out there weren't, she was relieved.

Cain went to Indigo, where he mistook Logan for a bartender. They ended up having a beer together, and Cain admired everything Logan had done for Nick, including her great survival skills. The two of them seemed to have more in common than he and Amber did. Later, after Cain left, Daniel arrived at the bar. He ordered a drink then listened, stunned, when a stranger came in and began asking if the bartender had ever seen Plum, the real name of Amber's cousin Garrett. Daniel called the Chancellor house just as Cain and Amber were about to go upstairs for some privacy. Amber was worried when she found out someone was looking for Plum.

At the tack house, Phyllis and Nick were trying to figure out how their new arrangement would work out. Nick was fine with being there, but he said that he wasn't going to take advantage of Phyllis. As long as he couldn't remember their relationship, he wanted to sleep separately from her. The two of them fed Summer and put her to bed, then played a video game. Nick's suggestion that they go riding made Phyllis laugh. She told him they usually never got out of the stables. Before they could leave, Michael arrived to give Phyllis the news about her extortion case. Nick left so they could talk, and Phyllis said Michael's timing was lousy. Michael reminded her that she needed to focus first on getting out of trouble, and next on getting her husband back. Phyllis agreed.

Michael went home and told Lauren how worried he was about Phyllis. She seemed like herself on the outside, but inside, she was terrified of going to jail and of losing Nick. In the meanwhile, Nick went to Indigo, where he ran into Logan. He told her that he was starting to understand why the old Nick had married Phyllis. She was fun and she was smart. Logan said that she'd gotten a call from her landlord. Her building was going condo, and she had to make a fast decision about whether to buy or move out. Nick asked what she wanted to do and where she wanted to be, and Logan admitted that she wanted to stay in Genoa City.

At the hospital, Kevin and Colleen were waiting for someone to take care of Kevin. Gloria came in and threw herself on Kevin, warning him that he'd better never do anything like that again. She was happy, however, that he'd managed to trap Jana. Later, Kevin was horrified when he saw Jana being wheeled into the hospital on a gurney. Maggie told him that Jana had suffered some kind of seizure. Kevin said she was faking it so she could escape.

Paul came to the hospital, and Maggie talked to him privately. She'd noticed how struck he was by the sight of Heather, and Paul admitted that it was true. He then made another confession. Heather was his daughter, but Heather didn't know that.

Later Maggie was able to talk to Jana, who told her that Kevin had lured her there with a lot of money and then tried to kill her. Maggie went outside and asked Kevin if any part of that was true. Neither Kevin nor Colleen seemed on the verge of telling Maggie the truth. To them, it was their word against Jana's.
