Courtney and Chris
Courtney spent the night with Chris, hoping to find the contract that Chris signed with Lance Pharmaceuticals. The next morning, Courtney slips out of bed to try to rummage through Chris's file cabinet, only to find it locked. Chris awakens to the racket that Courtney is making trying to break into the file cabinet. He catches Courtney red handed shaking his file cabinet. However, Courtney explains that she was going to surprise Chris with breakfast in bed. She removed her ring and set it on top of the file cabinet. It just happened to fall off and fall behind the cabinet. She was just trying to move the cabinet to get to her ring. Chris moved the cabinet and found Courtney's ring that she so artfully planted to prove her innocence of any wrongdoing.
After breakfast, Chris went snooping in Courtney's bag and retrieved a bank envelope. When Courtney came back into the room, the two said their good byes and Courtney left. Chris remained standing at the door smiling like a great big cheshire cat.
At the Recovery Room
Karen and Joe are having breakfast when Scotty and Serena join the two for breakfast. The two were planning their wedding. Karen asked Serena to be their flower girl. Frank comes over to the table to refill coffee cups when one of the employees come over with a package that just arrived for Frank. Frank reminisces as to what the content of the package is. He knows that it is the listening device that Courtney had sent to him. Serena is excited about the package and asks Frank to open it. He tries to back out by saying that he does not have a knife to open it with. Joe, being the resourceful doctor that he is, offers to open the box with his penknife. Frank claims that the box is full of sharp electrical supplies so he does not want Joe to hurt his hands.
Meanwhile Kevin and Eve enter the Recovery Room. Serena is so happy to see them both. She even invites them to join their table. They politely decline. They do walk over to the table to offer their greetings. Karen mentions to Eve that she has left several messages at Chris's for her. To which Eve responds that she temporarily moved out of Chris's. Karen presses for information as to where Eve is living now. Kevin interjects that Eve is staying at the Lighthouse. That got Scotty's attention, who did not look at all pleased to hear that little tidbit of information.
Also sitting at a table in the Recovery Room was Matt and Ellen. Matt was relieved that for once they were able to go out in public and not to have Sebastian show up. Matt spoke to soon because in walked Sebastian to take a seat at the counter. Matt was furious. He also told Ellen that Sebastian was working for Lance Pharmaceuticals. Matt went over to Sebastian to return the surveys and he gave him a piece of his mind. Matt discussed DL-56 and questioned Sebastian's character for working for a company like that. Sebastian stood his ground and said that he was proud to work for a company that helps so many people.
Later on, Sebastian went to stand and passes out. Ellen rushes to the rescue, calling out to Sebastian.
