Scotty and Lucy are celebrating the fact that they are both alive and will be able to see Serena soon. Kevin interrupts. Lucy is so glad to see that Kevin is all right. She thanks him for visiting her earlier. Kevin had no recollection of visiting her. In her delirium she mistook Scotty for Kevin. Scotty explained that she was delirious with fever.

Kevin congratulated Karen and Eve for finding a cure for the flu as the quarantine was called off. Kevin and Eve planned an intimate dinner at the lighthouse, but their plans were interrupted when Cooper and Julie arrived at the door. While hiding in the hold of the ship, Joe and Courtney remembered their romantic past. Joe and Courtney, however, quickly became alarmed when they realized a storm had broken out. Both Chris and Karen refused Frank's request for more DL56, but Karen promised to help Frank detox. Chris was stripped of his hospital privileges and learned that he would have to face the review board.

Finally out of the hospital, Frank went home with Karen to begin his weaning from DL-56. When he begins to show signs of withdrawal, Karen gives him a half-dose of the drug and promises to support him until he is free from the drug. When the half-dose doesn't have the desired effect, Frank becomes aggressive and angry, insisting that Karen give him more of the drug. Karen refuses and encourages him to fight the addiction one minute at a time. As a distraction, they play a game of cards, but Frank's withdrawal symptoms overwhelm him. He shouts at Karen, who still refuses to give him more of the drug, and storms out of the apartment. Later, Frank returns and tearfully asks Karen to help him kick the drug.

Scott brought flowers and goodies for Lucy, who is busily planning Serena's birthday party and Christmas from her hospital bed. When Scott tells Lucy how eager he is to see the excitement on Serena's face on Christmas morning, Lucy tries to talk to him about the significance of her fevered hallucinations about Kevin. Before she can say very much, however, Garcia arrives to tell them that Julie is missing and her driver and guard were found tied up at the side of the road. When he tells them that the guard has positively identified Greg Cooper as the man who helped Julie escape, Lucy panics. Scott promises to keep her and Serena safe from Cooper while Garcia went off to give Kevin a call. At the lighthouse, Julie and Cooper force Kevin to pack up his computer and reference books because Greg plans to take them away so Kevin can write the "true story" of the General Homicide murders as he orchestrated them. While Eve distracts Greg, Kevin slips his modem cord into his pocket. Greg ejects the battery pack from Eve's cellular phone and trashes Kevin's study looking for his computer power cord. As they are about to leave, the phone rings and Greg threatens to kill Kevin if he answers it. They walk out of the house as the phone rings and Garcia waits on the other end of the line for someone to answer the call. As the storm around them grows more violent, Joe and Courtney realize that the hold of the ship is taking on water. When Joe bangs on the door to make noise and get someone's attention, Courtney told him she is afraid that the crew may have abandoned ship and have left them on board to die. The crew member who sneaked them on board opens the door to the hold and told them that the ship is sinking.

Garcia and Scott go to the lighthouse to look for Kevin and find the place a wreck. As they shuffle through the mess, Scott notices that Kevin's computer is missing and Eve's prescription pad is lying on the floor. He and Garcia conclude that Cooper and Julie have already been at the lighthouse and probably have taken Eve and Kevin hostage. Scott answers the phone when Lucy calls to check on Kevin and told her the bad news.

Cooper and Julie take Kevin and Eve to the Stanton house, which Cooper has been using as his base of operations since Jasmine Island. He fits Kevin and Eve with containment anklets that will give them electrical shocks if they try to leave the property.
