Kevin was arrested for electrocuting Brittany. She wonders if anyone else knows that Kevin is innocent of the crime. Neil says no, but it would be wrong not to go to the police with the evidence.

Paul goes to see Michael to tell him that Michael has put doubt into his head concerning Kevin. Michael is surprised to hear that Paul wants to help him. Paul says that he has found out that Bobby Marcino has been dealing with a guy named Bertoli Lewis, a man who has had his fingers in a lot of illegal activity.

Sharon gets upset when Nick asks her if Cameron ever tried to make a pass at her. She denies any attraction between the two of them. She tells Nick that he was the one who made her wear a sexy dress to impress Cameron. Nick appears amused at the idea that Cameron would be attracted to Sharon. He teases Sharon about the dress and hints that maybe she's the reason Cameron is back in town. Sharon tells Nick that she doesn't think his comments are funny. She has been trying very hard to keep her life together and just the mention of Cameron's name gives her the chills. When Nick asks Sharon why she hates Cameron so much, she says that she's not the only one who thinks Cameron is dangerous. Nikki also thinks Cameron should not be trusted and is insincere. All Nick knows is that Cameron has come back for a reason. He would like to know what the reason is.

John and Ashley are sitting at the pool talking about Jack. John is worried about Jack's recent behavior. He hasn't been sleeping or taking care of himself and has been drinking all the time. Even though Jack has been going through a lot lately, Ashley cannot fathom trying to work things out with a man so dead set against accepting anything from Victor Newman. Jack suddenly shows up by the pool with Jill and sees John and Ashley. "Well aren't you two just the picture of merriment," Jack tells them sarcastically. John goes inside and Ashley asks Jack and Jill what they are doing together. They tell her that they plan to go for a swim. When Ashley asks Jill where her suit is, Jill tells her it won't be necessary. Jill goes off to get undressed. Ashley looks disgusted and sits down with her arms crossed. She tells Jack that she needs to talk to him about something important, but not right now.

When Ashley returns from the pool Brad is up waiting for her. He tells her that Victor came by insisting to see Abby. Brad says when Victor wants something, he will stop at nothing to get it. Brad thinks that Victor is thinking only of himself and not about what's good for Abby. Ashley doesn't think that Victor is trying to hurt Abby, but she does feel that his insistence is too soon. She calls and leaves a message asking him to meet her to discuss Abby. She hopes they will be able to discuss the situation in a civil manner.

Jill comes out to the pool wearing only a robe. As her and Jack stand next to each other, Jill becomes a little nervous. She knows she is much older than Jack. Jack reassures her. He thinks she's beautiful and sexy. Together they drop each other's robes and dive in.

As Jill and Jack come out of the pool feeling refreshed Jack opens a bottle of wine. Jill tells him that she hasn't really been drinking much anymore. He offers her another spritzer but she agrees to just have one glass. Jack is reminded of Katherine's drinking and Jill begs him not to talk about their problems. Jack agrees and offers to give Jill a massage. They are enjoying flirting with each other and start kissing passionately.

Lily tells Neil that she will never forgive him if he is responsible for getting Kevin out of jail. As Lily runs to her room crying, Neil tells Drucilla that they should have discussed this matter before sharing it with Lily. Neil feels that as parents they would be setting a bad example by breaking the law and letting someone go to jail for a crime they didn't commit. Dru doesn't care if Kevin is innocent of the charges against Brittany, because he hurt her daughter. She will protect Lily at any cost. Neil tries to explain to her that if Kevin is not the person who hurt Brittany, the person is still out there. Another young girl could be hurt again or even killed. Dru feels that Kevin needs to pay for what he's done to Lily, so whatever it takes to keep him in jail is the right thing to do. Neil is sorry she doesn't understand what he is going through. He has decided to go to the police with the information. Neil says he feels guilty just knowing that he has kept this a secret for any length of time. Drucilla gives Neil a cold stare. "If you do this to Lily, she won't be the only one who will never forgive you," she says threateningly.

Lily looks at a picture she has of Kevin. She remembers when Kevin pressured her to have sex by telling her to prove her love. She wonders how she could have ever let him touch her. Tears pour down her face and she rips up Kevin's picture, saying how much she hates him for what he's done to her. She tells him that he deserves to be in prison. Yet Neil's words about obstructing justice keep repeating in her head. "It's morally wrong...It's morally wrong."

Lauren tells Michael about Kevin's brave plan to escape from the hospital so he won't have to go back to jail. Michael wonders if Lauren gave Kevin any inclination that she would help him with the crazy idea. Lauren says no. She had tried to convince Kevin that escaping would be too dangerous. There are cops and security all over the place and Kevin could get killed trying to run. Kevin told her he would rather die than go back to jail. Michael shakes his head, thinking about how Kevin doesn't consider the consequences of his actions until it's too late. Michael thinks about how Kevin has previuosly reacted in desperate situations. He threatened to kill himself and pointed a box cutter at Detective Weber. Michael realizes that Kevin's insane behavior might keep him out of jail just long enough for Michael to prove his innocence. If Michael can get Kevin to take a psychiatric evaluation he may be able to stay in a hospital instead of jail. Lauren says that she will discuss the idea with Kevin tomorrow. She says that she doubts the guards will let her return the same day to see Kevin, so maybe the next day she can try to work her charm. As Michael gives Lauren a grateful look, they share a moment of closeness. Their bond caring for Kevin's welfare is bringing them closer.
