Michael visits Leo in the hospital, and Leo insists he will not help Michael any longer. Michael insists if Leo does him one more favor, it will ensure Christine’s safety and future.

Bo arrives with further evidence: the original of the photo that Leo doctored to make it seem like he and Niki Smith were lovers. Wade tells Christine she needs to tell Viki the truth immediately, before she finds out some other way. Clint and Bo are convinced Christine was part of the scam all along, but Viki insists on talking to her on her own. She confronts Christine, who admits she is not Viki’s daughter. Christine and Wade explain that Christine didn’t know about this until a few days ago, but Viki doesn’t believe her. Renee, Brenda, and Larry try to comfort Viki. Cord wonders how Leo managed to get enough information to pull off a scam like this, and Bo vows to make sure he doesn’t get away with it. Gabrielle reports back to Michael about the goings on at the party. Michael and Gabrielle try to get Leo to leave the hospital before there can be further blowback. Clint asks Asa to call Rafe and tell him they plan to press charges against Leo, then he and Bo head off to the hospital to confront LEo directly.
