Rae walks through a dark, stormy night, finally reaching St. Ann's where she is to see a patient. She pauses at the sign by the door which reads "St. Ann's, Llanview's Home for the Mentally, Criminally and Absolutely Insane. Yes, They're Really Nuts. Enter At Your Own Risk." She uses the "enormous knockers" and the doors creak open, where she encounters a rhyming nun, playing a gameboy. She thinks it's Renee but it's "Sister Mary Richards" yelling at her with an Irish brogue that she's late. Rae can't believe Renee has become a nun after her divorce and finds it way too much that a former madame has become a nun. The sister doesn't know her and wants her to visit with the patient immediately. Rae wonders if it's Rhoda Morgenstern but it's Victoria Riley Burke Riley Buchanan Buchanan Carpenter Davidson as the sign on her door and the pictures that appear of Viki with all of her individual husbands indicate. Rae goes in to visit with "Viki", thinking her DID has returned because she thinks it's really Todd, dressed like Viki for some unknown reason. "Viki" refreshes the doctor of her kidnapping by Gina though Rae continually tries to tell her she's really Todd. Suddenly, "Niki" appears and begins to dance.
Rae runs out and comes across Jen who is now "Nurse Jess" to help her mother and "Will" an orderly, who appears to really be Cris. They need couples counseling, they tell her. "Jess" describes their sex life and Rae tells them sex isn't everything. They become turned on and passionate in front of Rae. Just then "Sister Mary Richards" approaches and yells at them that it's a hospital, not a brothel. She orders Rae to help "Viki" or she will be sorry.
"Viki" is now "Jean" who tells the therapist how ineffective she is. Rae grabs Jean who hyperventilates and becomes "Tommy." Just then "Todd" arrives (really Viki with scar and all) and tells Rae she's a quack and pokes her nose into other people's business. "Todd" and "Viki" (again) begin to bicker and Rae is able to duck out into another room.
She picks up a paper and learns that the nuns of St. Ann's are suing her for millions of dollars for not curing the patients there. She notes aloud that she needs a lawyer and who should appear but "Nora" (Lindsay, clothed like Nora). She will help her, she says. Rae wants to know if she notices anything different about herself and tells her to look into the mirror. No, she says, she's just stressed, due to the previous bad months she's had. "Lindsay" arrives (Nora), and "Nora" tells her she will get her memory back and make her pay. "Lindsay" says that "Nora" always lies, she's the one who tries so hard and always sacrifices for her family. They argue, "Lindsay" using eye drops for tears, as Rae tries to point out that they're not who they think they are. They pull off each other's wigs, calling FRAUD! Rae thinks the madness can end while the two women look at her as if she's crazy, even when she again orders them to look into the mirror. "Lindsay" even pulls out a syringe and threatens "Nora". They avidly discuss their roles in the upcoming trial.
Rae decides she should call the police when "Bo" (really R.J.) shows up suddenly with "R.J." (Bo) behind him. "R.J." makes a pass at Rae who screams but "Bo" stops her. There's a complaint out against her. "R.J." reviews "Bo's" poor arrest record. "Sister" shows up again and calls for the "orderlies" (Will and Cris) to take the doctor to her room. Dr. Cummings gets away and a chase ensues with everyone after her. She can't find the front door and finally runs into a room marked Closet. She hears "Todd" enter the room with "Viki" who is lecturing him. They all speak about how they need to lock Rae up and sedate her because she's dangerous and violent so they'll need to get the restraints from the closet. The "flying nun" (Ben) assures everyone that the area is secure and the two "nurses" (Jen and Jess) whip out their needles. They all rush off so Rae is able to escape again. She notes that she's "out of the closet and feeling freer." "Todd" and "Viki" rush at her with weapons as do the "orderlies" and "Lindsay" and "Nora." Rae runs and encounters the "flying nun" trying to stop her.
Suddenly Rae is in a room with "Max" (Gabrielle) and "Gabrielle" (Max) who argue over how Gabrielle is trying to destroy him as they speak about the past and his deserting her. Rae leaves the room but reenters as the others near. She offers the couple therapy, they begin to argue again but suddenly upon hearing Michael Bolton singing, they fall into an embrace and end up on the bed. Everyone else bursts into the room and the "orderlies" carry Rae out as she screams she's not crazy and everyone else is behaving like someone else, they should be normal and decent. "R.J." questions if they should be like the people in Pine Valley. Rae thinks they are all insane, they think she's a fraud-especially when the "real Rae" (Starr) finally arrives and orders her put into a strait jacket. Rae looks down at her clothes and she's become "Starr." She begins to cry out that she's a therapist and calls for help.
As Rae is calling for help, she wakes up, courtesy of Viki who is gently shaking her. She was ringing the doorbell but could hear her yelling-her door was even open. Rae tells her that she was in the oddest place. "Port Charles?" Viki asks. Everyone was there but they weren't themselves, the psychologist explains. She's back now and they agree that there's "no place like Llanview."
