Julian’s inside man on the hospital board calls him for a meeting at an out-of-the-way cafĂ©; he tells him that the Quartermaines have pooled all their money and put another offer on the table.  Julian says he will up his offer; the man says he thinks it’s beyond numbers now…it’s become a community issue.  He tells him to be prepared that vote may go the other way; Julian grabs him and says that’s not acceptable.  The man says it’s just business, not life or death; Julian says, where he’s from, it is and warns the man to remember that.  The man walks away, looking frightened, but says he doesn’t know what he can do so far as other board members go.

Anna appears to be packing her bag, still dressed in her hospital gown; Valentine walks in her room.  She takes a step back; she tells her that she learned she had ordered his assassination, but says she doesn’t have any recollection of giving an order like that.  She says she needs answers and begs him to tell her what she doesn’t remember.  Robin breaks the news about her mother to Jason; she asks what his text was about.  He says, “Olivia Jerome.”  Liv holds Sam at gunpoint and introduces herself to Sam as her “father’s dead sister” – her Aunt Olivia.  She tells Sam they don’t want anything happening to the baby, warning her not to move; she plans to hold Sam hostage until she deals with Julian.  Robin questions why Jason wants to know about a dead woman; he explains.  She tells him Olivia Jerome was crazy and dangerous and hated her mother with a passion; she recounts her parents history with this woman, describing it as psychopathic.  She reveals that Olivia caused the miscarriage of her mom and Duke’s baby, adding that she knew, even as a child that it wasn’t an accident and no one was safe from that woman.  Jason questions Olivia’s desire for revenge; Robin comments that she is surprised she did rise up from the dead to kill Julian herself.  Nina talks to Curtis at the bar, describing her wedding evening (mentioning the break-in at their house last night), while Anna still pleads with Valentin, asking what he has wanted all along.  

Robin comes into the room and tells Valentin to get away from her mother; Nina tells Curtis about their interactions with Anna and says she is practically stalking them, adding it’s like she’s obsessed with him.  Curtis doesn’t buy it; he says maybe Valentin is not telling Nina everything.  As Olivia holds the gun on Sam, she recollects and narrates her family history to Sam, she begins to cry; Sam says she understands, but Liv says she can’t understand and becomes even more frustrated about the unfairness of everything.  She tells Sam, unless she wants to be collateral damage, she should get in the car; she begins to walk and has a contraction (or appears to); then lunges at Olivia, knocking the gun out of her hand.  She slaps her and calls her pathetic and starts to walk away again; Olivia grabs her and pushes her backwards over the chain.  Sam falls and lands on the metal wall, rolling the rest of the way down its slant and hits the icy ground, out cold.

Hayden talks with Griffin and determines that Finn is still taking Zen-zen; he talks to Roxy after shooting up again, and says he is going to get off the junk as soon as he’s done recovering.  Minutes later, Finn trembles as he is feeding Roxy; he determines that he has built up a tolerance and decides to inject another does.  “Just this once,” he tells Roxy.  Hayden leaves the hospital to try to find him.  She knocks on his hotel room door, but gets no response; she walks away as the camera pans to inside the room, where Finn lay on his back, passed out cold.  

Griffin tells Anna that she is not due to be released tonight, they need to watch her reaction to the medication and she needs to be extra careful not to get hurt now.  She gets upset about her career being over and Robin reminds her that she and her children still need her around; Anna agrees to stay overnight.  A police officer comes in and says he has to place Anna under arrest for breaking and entering. Valentin tells Nina that he won’t let anything or anyone intrude on the beautiful future they are building together; they toast to their future.
