In St. Kitts, Eli and Greg continue their conversation about Eli's "condition." Greg shows Eli x-rays of a brain aneurysm and tells him he is a walking time bomb. He wants to schedule surgery immediately.
Eli seems to believe Greg at first and he starts asking a lot of questions as to why he feels just fine, etc. Greg insists that Eli could possibly have a stroke anytime, due to the location of the embolism, and wants to schedule the surgery right away. Eli says he doesn't have time for surgery because he has things he needs to do. Greg says he can't do anything if he is dead, and he is going to go prep for the surgery, then leaves the room.
In Cherryvale, Téa demands a phone so she can call her husband, but the nurse tells her she has direct orders from Dr. Evans that she is to rest. She says she will call the doctor and ask him. When Greg receives the call, his answer is, "no" to every request she makes for permission to call Tea's husband and daughter. He tells her that Téa is not to have any contact with anyone until after he is finished "here," then she can see anyone she wants. When she explains that Tea is agitated, he tells her to give Téa a sedative.
Eli figures out that Greg is planning to kill him during the surgery. When Greg returns to Eli's room, Eli reminds Greg, he has been paid very well to go along with all of Eli's schemes and in return, Greg's family will be spared "the ugly truth." Greg says it is no longer worth it, but Eli says, killing him would not have worked.
"Ross has his instructions."
"What?"
"My brother knows everything about you, Greg. And if he doesn't hear from me, he will make sure that your family and every paper in this entire country gets the dirt about Greg Evans."
"Then you have nothing to worry about. Let me fix you."
"Seriously? Give it up man."
"I can't."
"Why would I ever think you would want to help someone like me?"
"Because, I want the dying to stop. My job is to keep people alive."
"Save the hand wringing for your next AMA meeting. I have places to go and a teenaged girl to see."
"I don't think so." [Greg has a syringe in his hand.]
"What the hell is that?"
"The sedative for surgery."
"The hell it is."
"It's the poison you wanted me to give Tea Delgado."
"Wanted?"
"And now, it's going to kill you."
Greg lunges toward Eli and they begin to struggle. This is not going to end well for Greg. Eli is bigger and stronger.
John and Natalie talk to Shaun at Rodi's He is very surprised to hear that Greg has been back to St. Kitt's twice since Téa's "death." He tells John how he ran into Greg after the memorial service and he was pounding back a few drinks while reading Téa's medical records, but that Greg would not talk about his state of mind.
Destiny comes in to Rodi's to meet Shaun for lunch. They talk about how something is just not right about Greg. Destiny tells Shaun about the mysterious patient at Cherryvale Clinic. Shaun says, "Greg is standing in some deep shade these days." When Destiny tells Shaun she has a plan to find out who Greg is hiding at Cherryvale, Shaun tells her to leave that part up to him.
John and Natalie agree it is very likely Greg has Eli stashed in St. Kitts and John says he will fly down there immediately. When John arrives, he finds the room where he is told Dr. Evans is seeing a patient. The door is locked, so he decides to kick the lock. He enters to room with his gun drawn to find...
Todd goes to Vicki's and tells her Ross has just been given custody of Dani and he wants Vicki to help him get Dani away from Ross. He explains he has his plane waiting at the airport and he just needs her to make the
arrangements for him. While he is babbling, Vicki says she wants to help him, but this is the wrong way to go about it.
She tries to reason with him, saying she will get him the rest possible lawyer, and he practically loses it when he tells her Eli Clarke has forged a Will that is iron clad, period.
When Todd leaves, Vicki admits she thinks he is right. Charlie is stunned, but Vicki says, "He is about to lose his daughter, of course he wants to do something desperate."
Vicki tries to talk to her attorney on the phone and only becomes more frustrated when she finds out there is absolutely nothing she can do. She tells the attorney she at least wants a court order that will prevent Ross from taking Danielle out of Tahiti after they arrive there.
Todd and Dani have a heart-to-heart and he reassures her, he would not have killed Ross because that would hurt her and he would never want to do that. He tells Dani he loves her and always has. Starr and Blair tell her how they feel and say their goodbyes. Dani tells Todd, if she had been given a choice, she would have chosen Todd over Ross.
After the dust settles at Llanfair, Charlie suggests they watch a movie to relax before bed, then the doorbell rings. He answers it and it is Echo DiSavoy. She chirps at him, "Chuckles—long time no see." She then hugs him, and Charlie is speechless.
When Téa's nurse returns with the sedative, she reaches for a glass of water, and Tea slips her hand into the nurses pocket and grabs her cell phone.
She calls Todd and he answers. In a very weak voice, she says "Todd, Todd."
Fade to black...
