Blair bought Starr's explanation but Todd just smirked. Todd brought Blair to the penthouse and asked Blair to explain her relationship with Spencer. Todd clearly didn't understand why Blair was going to marry Spencer. "Why? Why?" he yelled. "Because I love him," Blair yelled back. But then her cell phone rang and it was John McBain, which really piqued Todd's interest. Todd began to figure things out. Blair wouldn't cop to it but apologized again for not believing in him. Blair reminded him that they can't go back to what they had. Blair wanted to leave for the hospital, as she didn't want to be with alone with him." "Why are you lying to me?"

Todd threatened to go to Spencer. "I have been sleeping with Spencer to help you, Todd," Blair said as her eyes filled with tears.
David told Spencer that John had spent the evening interrogating him. "Don't you want to know what he asked?" David pushed. "McBain has evidence," David teased.

You are no longer my brother," concluded David as he stormed out the door.
In Spencer's safe deposit box, Hugh found the photo of Spencer, Paige and Margaret. He happily called John. John called Natalie, who happened to be standing next to Spencer giving him a hard time. John couldn't get a hold of Blair, which concerned Natalie, who immediately wondered if Spencer had hurt Blair.
Spencer wouldn't let Natalie leave. "Why would you think I would hurt Blair?" he barked. Natalie tried to cover and said she was concerned about Blair. Spencer sincerely doubted that and wouldn't stop pressing Natalie for details. Spencer wondered what people were saying about him. Spencer asked Natalie what Blair and John were talking about the times he saw them together. Natalie left and ran to the police department. "I think I screwed things up," she blurted to John. "I think I may have tipped off Spencer." When Blair wouldn't answer Spencer's calls he went to find her.

Bruce continued to taunt Adriana, who refused to eat and be friendly to him. Adriana wanted proof that the stalking was Dorian's idea. David popped in at Dorian's to distract her, allowing Rex to snoop around Dorian's house and eavesdrop. Dorian denied any wrongdoing regarding Adriana. "I know how you like to protect your girls," said David. Dorian thought it was hurtful that David would suggest she break up Adriana and Rex. "You are a liar," Rex said as he burst in. Dorian was not amused and was furious with David. Rex demanded the name of the man she hired to stalk Adriana. Dorian wasn't about to give up anything. David left, though Rex wasn't about to leave. In fact, Rex picked up the phone when Adriana was allowed to call home.
John was surprised to hear that Dr. Snyder (the same drunken doctor who was in the operating room when his father died) was also under investigation for child pornography. Antonio found this out in his new/old job as cop. John realized that this must be what Spencer was holding over Snyder. Antonio searched Snyder's apartment and found the tape called "Tess." Jessica came to the apartment and faced Snyder. "This tape tore me in half, literally." Jessica was also horrified to see a photo of little Jessica/Tess on his computer.
Hugh came in with the actual safe deposit box. John read a letter that Spencer had written to Todd and Margaret's child. Among many things, Spencer suggested he not try to find his father because he was a bad man. A handwriting expert confirmed that Spencer had written that letter.
