Plot Overview[]

Frankie keeps swearing that Jeff is Philip's son and not the result of her affair with Jason.

Meanwhile LB comes down with a slight fever after returning with his mother from Denver. Fallon admits that she still loves both Jeff and Miles and that she would appreciate not to be pushed.

The graphologist confirms that Philip's letter is genuine which encourages Sable even more to go through with her plan.

Monica and Neil present Wayne Masterson to their boss. Dominique is impressed, but enlightens Monica about the fact that her lover is a married man.

Sable works on Jeff to give Fallon up and threatens to use the letter against Frankie. Besides, she appeals to Fallon not to let Miles down.

At Colby Enterprises, they are still searching for a proof that Zach has caused the oil spill.

Miles assures Jeff that if he cannot have Fallon he would make sure that Jeff won't have her either. Fallon and Miles sign the annulment papers and Miles apologizes for his outrageous behavior the other night, but doesn't manage to make Fallon change her mind. Bliss does her best to cheer him up after this painful experience.

Hutch takes Conny home from the hospital.

Garrett is rather sure that Dominique is hiding something from him, but she wouldn't confide in him.

Sable and Jason finally agree on a pact: No divorce, no trial against Jeff.

Dominique introduces Wayne in her night club. In the middle of the party, Fallon and Jeff are summoned to the hospital: LB has got meningitis. Fallon is desperate. In the chapel of the hospital, she prays for his life and promises that she will never leave LB or his father again if he doesn't die.
