As Asa is yelling at someone on the phone, Max arrives for breakfast.

Starr opens her eyes so Blair asks her to leave before telling Todd to go. He knows she's really happy to see him and he wants to be a family, all four of them. Yes, he says, all of them want to have another baby and though Blair tries her best to resist, the pair shares a tender moment until suddenly Max bursts in with the boxed snake and Starr clinging to his leg. He dumps the snake on the bed, blames the episode on them and calls Todd by various names including psycho. Todd thinks that Max should worry then about what he'll do as he picks up the snake and threatens him with it. Blair regains her senses after Max leaves and the moment with Todd is lost.

Llanview Police Station

Jessica starts to explain why she keeps seeing Colin's face, but Will interrupts and says that Colin frightened Jess when he came by their apartment before he left. Will says that Colin came by to see him, but he wasn't there, so Colin terrorized Jessie, but that Cris happened by and threw Colin out. Cristian backs-up Will's story. Bo tells the assemblage that they all knew Colin MacIver and that there was a reason why most of them were invited to his dinner party and that there was also a reason why Colin seems to have disappeared. Lindsay suggests that Bo makes it sound like those facts are somehow connected and Bo says that is what they are there to find out.

Lindsay reminds Bo that Colin himself told them all that he was leaving and that it was his style to want to taunt all of them prior to slithering off to his new life. Lanie reminds Lindsay that Colin went after Nora first and Bo interjects that Colin injected Nora with a drug that made her helpless and kidnapped her...again.

Bo asks Sam how he knows the plan blew up and Sam says it is just speculation on his part, but that Colin did have airline tickets. Bo says that they checked every mode of transportation out of Llanview and Colin never used any of them. R. J. asks why Commissioner Buchanan has to assume that one of them did Colin in. Bo says he does not assume anything and Colin MacIver is the only person he wants to bust and that he hopes he does not have to go after anyone else.

As they file into the Commissioner's office, Sophia asks Cristian why he is there and he replies that he is there as a friend to Jen. Sophia asks if he thinks she is going to need one.

Rourke thinks it is funny that the same man who had ordered a hit on Ben was now ready to try to protect him.

Police Commissioner's Office

Lindsay says that she has not seen Colin since the dinner party. Bo says that Colin was holding something over Lindsay's head and Lindsay says that Colin was trying to say that she had something to do with Nora's kidnapping and that he had convinced Bo, Sam and even Lanie. She says that the truth was (like she would know) that Colin had tried to turn everyone, including her kids, against her. Sophia comes into the office and tells Bo that Forensics had just done another search on the MacIver house and that they had found prints. Bo asks if there was a match and Sophia says yes. Sam and Lindsay, trying to look calm, exchange looks.

Bo asks whose prints were found and Sophia says that pretty much everyone who was there. Sam immediately says that of course his prints were there because he had been there many times. Lindsay states that she had been there also. Bo says that Lindsay and Sam seem awfully defensive and Sam says he is not defensive, but offended. Sophia says that there were also some prints that had not been identified yet. Bo excuses Lindsay, Sam and Lanie and asks to see R. J. and Roseanne.

Bo asks R. J. if he had to make a wild guess, why did he think Colin had asked him to the dinner party and R. J. says he has no idea. Antonio says that his invitation said that if he came to the dinner party he might learn something about R. J. if he went. Antonio thinks MacIver was trying to extort money from R. J. and that he knew something about R. J.'s business – the one off the books. Bo says he is surprised that R. J. doesn't want MacIver tracked down because of what he did to Nora. R. J. says that regardless of what he wants, Colin can't come back because of the fact that he offended so many people in Llanview. Bo releases R. J. and turns to Roseanne and tells her that he is aware that she and Colin were more than just acquaintances. Roseanne looks at Antonio knowing that he had told Bo about her sleeping with Colin.

Bo explains that Antonio wanted to nail MacIver to stop him from preying on other women the way he had preyed on her, Nora, Lanie and even Jen. Roseanne tells Antonio that she had told him about that night in confidence and that she trusted him. Antonio says he wants to trust Roseanne, but that she had lied to him about many things. Roseanne says that she lied because she was scared and that she had the right to be because the minute she had told Antonio something, he had gone straight to Bo. Antonio calmly tells her that he did not do this to hurt her and that in a police investigation, any information was helpful. Roseanne says she has worked at the police station long enough to know that she could not be held unless they planned to arrest her. Bo says that she is there voluntarily to answer questions and she says that she is going to leave and if Bo has any questions just to ask Antonio.
