As Joshua watches Ricky and Casey approvingly, Jack arrives. Joshua blasts Jack for holding the impromptu memorial service for Alison, but Jack reminds Joshua that Jack never promised to be a "Yes, Man!" for Joshua. As Joshua agrees that Jack WAS right about the VH1 TV interview with the band, Reese arrives and happily announces that her VH1 interview was highly successful. But Reese is surprised when Jack appears to be less than thrilled about Reese's success and later reminds the songstress that VH1 is STILL mainly interested in 'Stephen Clay', rather than the band WITHOUT 'Stephen!' Reese angrily accuses Jack of throwing cold water on her moment of triumph and storms out of the club. Jack runs after Reese. Meanwhile, when Casey sadly reports to Ricky that she feels like a failure as a Guardian Angel because the forces of evil appear to have gained the upper hand in Port Charles while Casey stands helplessly by, Ricky consoles Casey by assuring the angel that she has been a great help to many of the people in town who have experienced trouble in their lives. Ricky urges Casey to realize that she can NOT save the entire world all by herself, overnight. Ricky suggests that Casey take one day off to enjoy some of the things that regular people enjoy, so that the angel can recharge her heavenly batteries. Casey reluctantly agrees. Ricky went to Joshua for permission to take the rest of the day off. But, as Joshua agrees to the time off, Joshua congratulates Ricky for his impending success in bringing Casey down. Ricky bitterly warns Joshua that it might take longer than Joshua expects to get the angel yanked back upstairs, and Joshua agrees that Ricky can have all the time it takes to be successful. At the same time, Jack catches up with Reese outside the Club and Reese blasts Jack for failing to understand how much the VH1 interview meant for her and then dousing her enthusiasm. However, Jack cautions Reese that, with Joshua involved, they need to be suspicious about ANYTHING that seems too easy! However, Reese angrily declares that she plans to look forward to the TV gig, in spite of Jack's warnings. Announcing that Jack is ruining a good thing for everyone, Reese storms away again. Meanwhile, inside the Club, after Ricky and Casey leave, Joshua takes out a picture of Alison and again bemoans the fact that Alison will NOT be there to enjoy Joshua's final victory over Caleb. Later, Jamal arrives at the Club Elixir and informs Frank that, since Frank was the one who turned Jamal into one of the Undead, Frank owes Jamal some help. But Frank just orders Jamal to leave Frank alone until Frank calls for him. When a disconsolate Jamal orders a drink, Jack brought the drink to Jamal and urges Jamal to remember that they were once very good friends. Then Jack observes that Jamal does NOT look very good and encourages Jamal to confide in Jack.

As Rafe tries to convince Alison that showing herself to Joshua and endangering her life would NOT be a good idea, Livvie chimes in and accuses Alison of just being a self-centered drama queen. Alison retorts that Livvie is acting like a dizzy little schoolgirl when Livvie gets all worked up about who kissed whom. Alison points out that it is crazy for Livvie to think that Alison could ever have any kind of interest in Caleb ~ and then adds that, of course, Livvie's entire family is crazy! Caleb orders Alison to quit picking on Livvie. Rafe tries to convince Alison that there is no need for Alison to put her own life in danger just because Alison is upset with Caleb and Livvie. However, Alison next turns her anger on Rafe, pointing out that Alison has a problem with Rafe as well! Alison accuses Rafe of being in such a habit of fighting with Caleb that Rafe can NOT focus on the REAL problem ~ which is Joshua! Alison argues that it will be better for them all to throw in the town now than it would be to destroy each other while continuing to hide out in the Catacombs! When Caleb agrees that Alison might be right, Caleb also observes that destroying Joshua might be too big a job for Rafe. Rafe retorts that NO ONE would be in the situation they are in right now if not for Caleb!

At Club Elixir, Jack told Jamal point blank that Jack realizes that Jamal has been inducted into Joshua's Legion of the Damned. Jack surprises Jamal when Jack advises his friend NOT to fight his recent transformation into a creature of the night. Jamal objects to Jack's logic, but Jack points out that there are NOT enough good guys left in Port Charles to put up any kind of fight against Joshua and, that, since Joshua DOES have the upper hand, it will do Jamal no good to try to shut Joshua down by himself. When Jack offers to help Jamal steal blood from the Hospital blood bank to keep Jamal's cravings in check, Jamal turns Jack down on his offer. Then Jamal went to Frank and announces that Jamal has decided to accept his fate and that Jamal now wants to be a part of the action in Joshua's kingdom.

Livvie announces that she is going for a walk but turns down Caleb's offer to join her! Later, Alison decides to go to the entrance of the cave to look for more firewood for the fire. However, as Alison gathers firewood, a flying animal attacks her and Alison calls out for Rafe to help her. But Caleb reaches Alison's side first and throws a rock at the winged creature. Caleb runs after the fleeing animal as Rafe reaches Alison's side. Rafe asks Alison if her attacker could have been a bat, but Alison admits that she can't be sure. When Caleb rounds a corner, he finds Livvie, crouching down in the bushes and hissing at him. Livvie shows Caleb a cut on her arm and blasts her lover for stopping her from getting rid of Alison for good! Caleb reminds Livvie that Alison being alive is the ONLY bargaining chip they have, so Caleb had to stop Livvie's attack on Alison. Back inside the Catacombs, Rafe confesses to Alison that he is afraid that Alison might have been attacked by one of Joshua's creatures of the night ~ who might even now be carrying word back to Joshua that Alison had been spotted! Meanwhile, in the clearing, Livvie told Caleb she STILL does not understand WHY Caleb wants to continue to handle Alison with kid gloves. Then Livvie storms away, ordering Caleb NOT to follow her. However, once she is alone, Livvie admits to herself that it is bad enough that Alison has turned the entire town of Port Charles against Livvie but, now, it appears that Alison has turned Caleb against Livvie as well. Livvie calls Joshua on her cell phone and announces that she has something to tell Joshua about Alison Barrington!
At Lucy's Place, Ian continues to worry that he might give in to the temptation to bite Lucy, When Lucy arrives, she announces to Ian that she feels 100% better and believes her slayer powers might be returning.

Rafe surprises Lucy and Ian that he needs the antidote back so that Livvie can bite Caleb and restore Caleb's powers ~ soon! But Ian reminds Rafe that he should NEVER trust a vampire. Even though Rafe argues that Caleb just saved Alison's life when he didn't need to do so, Lucy and Ian remain unconvinced that Caleb has changed enough to risk allowing Caleb to regain his powers. Rafe reminds Lucy and Ian that Caleb knows Joshua better than anyone and that Caleb promised Rafe that Caleb would work with Rafe until Joshua was defeated.

Livvie arrives at Caleb's Villa and announces to Joshua that Alison is still alive and agrees to turn Alison over to Joshua in exchange for the antidote to Joshua's poison. Joshua at first pretends that there was NO antidote and that Joshua does NOT need Livvie's help, although Joshua is mildly pleased to learn that Alison is alive after all. However, when Livvie prepares to leave, Joshua changes his mind and went to retrieve the antidote from its hiding place above the fireplace. But, when Joshua threatens to pour out the antidote if Livvie double-crosses him, Joshua realizes that the vial is already empty! When Livvie exclaims that Rafe must have the antidote, Joshua learns that Livvie is jealous of Caleb's recent attention to Alison and Joshua tries to convince Livvie to lead Joshua to Alison so Livvie can get even with Alison for good. But Joshua went on to tell Livvie that he believes Livvie's jealousy makes her vile and contemptible ~ even to Joshua! Livvie begs Joshua to make more of the antidote for her, but Joshua merely threatens to stake Livvie instead, since all Joshua needed to know is that Alison is alive. Reminding Livvie that his ring will protect Joshua from Livvie's poisoned bite, Joshua informs Livvie that she will leave with nothing except a front row seat to Joshua's wedding to Alison! As Livvie runs away, she worries about how she will explain her actions to Caleb! Meanwhile, Joshua orders Frank to pick Alison up and bring Alison to the Villa.

And Alison is devastated when she learns that Jamal has joined Joshua's dark side!
At Lucy's Place, as Lucy kisses Ian passionately, Ian's fangs suddenly come out and Lucy draws back in horror as she realizes that Ian was about to bite her. Ian explains to a devastated Lucy that he has been fighting the overwhelming urge to bite Lucy for quite a long time now. As Lucy pleads with Ian to believe that they WILL be able to overcome Ian's current problems, Ian insists that he MUST move away from Lucy to keep her safe. Ian suddenly begins gathering up his things and told Lucy that this must be the end. Ian informs Lucy that he has brought Chris and and Karen up to speed on Lucy's case and that Lucy needs to confer with them from now on about her health. As Ian prepares to leave, Lucy tries to hide Ian's jacket so Ian would have an excuse to come back, but Ian spots Lucy's maneuver and again told Lucy that saying good-bye is the only choice they have left! Before Ian leaves, Lucy and Ian assure each other of their love.
At Caleb's Villa, Alison is shocked when she realizes that Jamal has joined Joshua's misbegotten camp.

When Joshua and Frank leave, Alison assures Jamal that Rafe will soon find them and rescue them, but Alison is shocked when Jamal declares that he has NO interest in being rescued by Rafe! Jamal assures Alison that Jamal is with Joshua's Legions because Jamal WANTS to be there! Jamal blasts Rafe as an worthless slayer, who was so interested ONLY in rescuing Alison that Rafe left everyone else in town vulnerable to becoming Joshua's victims! Jamal announces that the Jamal that Alison knew is dead, but Alison insists that Jamal deserves a better future than to be doomed to spend eternity doing Joshua's dirty work for him. Declaring that Alison had no consideration for the grief of her friends when she pretended to be dead, Jamal suddenly bares his fangs and attacks Alison! As Alison screams, Joshua and Frank return to the main hall. When Joshua orders Jamal to back off, Jamal obediently turns Alison loose. As Frank and Jamal get ready to leave, Joshua assures Alison that he only wants her happiness and Frank assures Alison that being a member of Joshua's legion is a privilege. Alison declares that she refuses to ever be a happy camper in Joshua's twisted kingdom.

In the Catacombs, Rafe demands that Livvie and Caleb tell him what happened to Alison, but Livvie is only interested in getting her hands on the antidote that Rafe is holding. Rafe announces that he has changed his mind about handing the antidote over to Livvie until Rafe learns what happened to Alison. Caleb again explains that Alison just disappeared into thin air when Caleb went outside to check on a suspicious noise at the entrance. Rafe finds Caleb's story hard to believe, but Caleb points out that, since Rafe is the one holding the antidote, it would NOT be in Caleb's best interests to have Rafe angry with Caleb. As Rafe and Caleb argue, Livvie flashes back to her meeting with Joshua. When Livvie declares that she KNOWS that Caleb had NOTHING to do with Alison being gone, Rafe suddenly suspects Livvie and angrily demands that Livvie tell Rafe whether or not Livvie turned Alison over to Joshua. As Rafe demands answers, Livvie finally admits that she went to Joshua to try to get the antidote and alibis that Joshua tricked Livvie into admitting that Alison was really alive. Livvie angrily points out that she would have NEVER gone to Joshua to plead for the antidote if Rafe had given her the antidote in the beginning, the way Rafe had promised that he would! Rafe suddenly decides that he MUST get to Alison right away, but Caleb argues that if Rafe would only give the antidote to Livvie so Livvie could restore Caleb's powers, Caleb would be able to go with Rafe and, between the two of them, they could make short work of Joshua AND Joshua's entire Army of Undead Underlings! But Rafe refuses to have anything more to do with any kind of help from Caleb! Caleb warns Rafe that Rafe is setting himself up for certain defeat by trying to take Joshua on alone. But, when Caleb promises that IF Rafe will help Caleb and Livvie, then Caleb and Livvie will help Rafe in return, Rafe again declares that he believes NOTHING Caleb has to say! Livvie begins to circle Rafe menacingly and demands the antidote. Rafe told Livvie that he will think about it ~ once he has Alison back! As Rafe begins to leave to search for Alison, Caleb blocks Rafe's way and informs Rafe that it is not likely that Joshua would have turned Alison yet. As Caleb tries to convince Rafe again to let Caleb help him, Rafe pushes past Caleb but Livvie suddenly grabs at the vial of antidote in Rafe's hand! As the three of them struggle for the antidote, Rafe drops the vial, then steps on the vial. As Livvie scrambles to gather up the crushed pieces of the vial, Rafe runs out of the cave! Caleb sadly informs Livvie that it is too late to save any of the antidote and accuses Livvie of ruining everything by going to Joshua behind Caleb's back. Caleb told Livvie that she just threw away their only chance to be together, just because Livvie still hates Alison! Livvie accuses Caleb of being foolish to always make excuses for Alison. But Caleb told Livvie that he believes that she does not have a clue about the damage she has done with her little jealous fit. At the same time, Rafe arrives at Caleb's Villa, searching frantically for Alison. But Rafe realizes with a sinking heart that the Villa has the eerie air of a building that has been abandoned!

Livvie reminds Caleb that there was a time when Caleb would have believed that ANY ONE, even Alison, was expendable, if they stood in the way of Caleb and Livvie being together. Caleb begins to kiss Livvie and they hit the sheets. Afterward, Livvie is thrilled when Caleb admits that Livvie was right and they should never have tried to cooperate with Rafe. Caleb picks up the pieces of the broken vial and told Livvie that, if there is ANY trace of the antidote left on the vial, it could all be analyzed and duplicated! When Livvie asks who in their right minds would help Caleb and Livvie, Caleb suggests that Caleb might know someone. Later, at the Hospital, CHRIS is nervous when the lights suddenly go out.

When Frank returns to the Club, Frank blasts Jack for saving Rafe and warns Jack that Jack's days are numbered! Meanwhile, Casey and Ricky try to convince Rafe that there IS another way to handle Joshua and Rafe suddenly begs Casey to tell the former angel what insight Casey has about Alison's situation.
