Neil greets Olivia at Gina's by explaining he's hoping to convince her to change her mind about Malcolm and Nate. When she spots Malcolm with Alex, Olivia complains about the "hot affair" they're having and then storms out. At the table Alex explains to Malcolm that a judge might grant him certain rights where Nate's concerned. Mac agrees to consider it when J.T. offers to go to Hawaii with her. Brittany spots them kissing and guesses to Rianna and Billy that Mac's going to have sex with J.T. After Victor chats with Nick, Sharon steps in and assures him that she can handle the kids' reaction to his jail stay but wonders what to do about Carter. Though Nick admits that he once was concerned about him, he's not now but does suggest that she tell Carter to do as Victor wants. Sharon runs to the coffeehouse where she finds Carter has already decided to leave town. He becomes concerned when she explains Nick's hope to trick Larry into spilling the beans about his "partner." Back in his cell, Nick suggests to Larry that they need to work together to get out. Called away to work, Jack asks Phyllis for more time to consider her demand for the Jabot computer system password. She argues it's the password or nothing. Billy finds Raul and the mess he's made from all the candy bars and sodas he's been living on. They argue a bit before Raul assures him he'll be ready tomorrow for the trip to Florida. John stops by later and notices Raul's sickly look. Learning about the check used to buy the drugs, Paul asks Victor for a list of Newman employees with computer access.

Joining Victoria at the tack room again, Ryan talks about their latest relationship and both agree to follow their hearts. Paul informs Victor he has discovered a Dr. O'Leary in South Bend, Indiana, who operated on a Matt Clark more than two years ago. Though the plastic surgeon worries about keeping the confidentiality of his patient, Victor tells Paul to offer him legal counsel but Paul urges Victor not to get his hopes up since Clark may not be the culprit. Carter tries to woo Tricia with a romantic dinner in hopes that she'll do him a favor and visit with Larry in jail. After Billy refuses to talk with her about his interest in Mac and J.T., Brittany complains to Phyllis about the second camera that caught everything during the Glo by Jabot summer website promotion. Phyllis defends her actions for the sake of the job and issues her own threat when Brittany raises her voice to her. Rianna reveals to Mac that Brittany saw Mac kissing J.T. and urges her to think twice about having sex since you can't "undo it once you've done it." Raul assures a worried John that he'll be fine and has a doctor's appointment tomorrow. Billy stops by and suggests Raul talk with Mac about sleeping with J.T. Raul isn't interested in what he has to say. Ashley and Brad inform Billy that Jack's been dating Phyllis. Nick starts to work on Larry but the ex-con guesses that Victor put him up to get him talking and claims it's not going to work.

Brad suggested a trip to Chicago to Ashley in order to help get her mind off Jack and Phyllis. She loved the idea and they started making plans.

Paul shared his memories of Hawaii and Christine with Isabella. She proved to be a sympathetic ear. Paul's words were comforting to her as well.

Sean presented a plan for advertising on the Internet to Jack and Jill. After a lengthy discussion, Jill gave him permission to put some numbers together. Jack noticed Sean and Jill talking about plans for the evening. He told Jill that he would keep a close eye on their relationship -- just as she had on his relationship with Phyllis.

Billy and Mac talked at the coffee house about her trip to Hawaii. She seemed to be waiting for him to tell her not to bring J.T., but he kept his mouth shut. J.T. arrived and she told him that it was a go -- all he had to do was let his mom know and pick up his bags for the airport. Afterwards, Mac told Esther that she wasn't so sure about her decision. Esther told her that if she trusted him and she trusted herself, then there wouldn't be anything to worry about.

Mamie had stopped by the pool house to see if Raul was OK -- the room was dark and he seemed to be sleeping soundly, so she didn't wake him up. She called to tell Billy this and he told her to leave Raul sleeping. Billy and Rianna started discussing Raul's past behavior and symptoms, becoming increasingly worried about the fact that the doctor hadn't found anything when there must be something there. Brittany arrived ready for some attention from Billy -- she didn't get any because he and Rianna were looking for medical symptoms and diagnoses on the computer. They rushed off to the pool house when they found that all the clues pointed to Raul having Diabetes. Brittany planted a seed in J.T.'s mind -- he should try to pressure Mac into being more than just friends while they were away so that she would quit thinking about Billy altogether. This would be good for both of them, considering the fact that he was falling for Mac and she wanted Mac out of Billy's life for good.

When Billy and Rianna arrived at the pool house, Raul was still sleeping. They almost left again, saying that the doctor appointment wasn't scheduled for another 45 minutes. Then, Billy decided that it was important that he wake up. He tried to awaken Raul and realized that he was unconscious! He yelled for Rianna to call 911 and screamed for his friend to wake up. . . . .
