Everybody Has A Plan

Bob and Kim meet at The Lakeview for lunch. They run into Lucinda, who tells Bob how great he is looking now. He talks about work and Lucinda nearly breaks down. Bob asks what is wrong and she says she just can't forget how great the Hughes family has been to her. She wishes she could be the same help to them. Bob brings up Chris, wondering how he will react to not being the Chief any longer; Kim hopes he will stay on at the hospital. Lucinda leaves; Bob and Kim sit down to eat. She becomes emotional thinking about Bob going back to work and both of them getting busy with stuff again. She says she wants to change their lives for the better this time. He promises to take better care of himself but Kim wants more than a promise. She asks him to take advantage of Chris's responsibilities and make him a kind of co-chief. Bob isn't sure Chris would want that and isn't sure he will even stay in Oakdale.

Casey's Home and Bob's Awake!

Chris and Kim are sitting with Bob at the hospital. Chris tells Kim he isn't sure what else to do; Kim says he is doing all he can. She fawns over Chris, telling him what a great job he has been doing. Chris can't take it and leaves. In the hall he runs into Evan, who wants a signature so that MEMO21 can go forward. Chris hesitates. Evan manipulates him, telling Chris that he is a chicken and doesn't deserve the run of the hospital. Chris gives in and signs the papers.

Back with Bob, Kim tells him how much she misses him and how much she wants their life back. She begs him to wake up. "Feel free to wake up any time now," she says, "Sooner would be better than later." Bob doesn't respond. Kim kisses his hand. She turns to go and Bob reaches out to her! "Hello, beautiful," he says, and she begins to cry. Kim orders him to stay awake and goes to the hall to get Chris. Chris hurries inside and checks Bob's vital signs and his reactions. Bob asks for food; Chris says this is a good sign. He orders a bunch of tests for Bob, which worries Kim. Kim goes to call the family so Chris can run another test. Bob asks where Dusty is!

The whole Hughes clan arrives to see Bob. Casey walks in, surprising Bob. Margo and Chris are uncomfortable with one another until she tells him she is off the clock. Chris closes the door and sees Emily in the hall. He returns to the family. Tom decides to call Nancy and leaves; Casey follows and asks Tom not to tell Nancy he's home. He wants to talk to her himself. Tom agrees. A candy-striper and an orderly come in to prep Bob for the tests. Chris and the family leave the room. Seeing Emily is still hanging around, Chris grabs her and pulls her into another room. He tells her to leave him and his family alone. Emily asks why he is really upset. Chris admits that Bob asked about Dusty when he woke up. He tells Emily that he has to focus on his family and leaves. Emily finds him a few minutes later and tells him they need to get their stories straight. Chris wonders why; Emily brings up MEMO21, the note and Dusty's death. Chris shuts them back in the empty hospital room and tells Emily there is nothing to hide from his father or his family. Chris tells Emily to keep her mouth shut and they'll never need to coordinate their stories.

Kim is sitting with Bob, telling him how great things are going to be.

Trouble at the MEMO21 Party!

Lucinda warns an increasingly tipsy Lily to take it easy. She goes off to talk to Kim and Lily heads into a closed room to take a few more pills! She sees Holden arrive with Bonnie on his arm! She goes straight over to them and asks why they are there. "Well, enjoy," Lily says and turns away from them. Meanwhile Kim and Lucinda chat with Evan, Margo and Tom about MEMO21. Lucinda asks about Craig. Margo wonders if Dusty will show his face. Tom is sure things will be fine. Tom brings up Chris and Lucinda says he is looking around for Emily. Holden and Bonnie watch as Lily becomes even more drunk; Holden goes to her side and Lily tells him to leave her alone! Bonnie chats with Kim and Margo for a few moments.

In another room Chris overhears Dusty and Emily talking about their New Year's tryst. Emily tries to explain it was only once but Dusty interrupts, saying Emily is in love with him and that is why she won't commit to Chris! Emily asks Chris to come with her so they can talk but Chris can barely even look at her. Dusty brings up Bob. Chris lunges for him, grabs him by the lapels and slams him up against the wall! Tom hears them arguing and bursts in to the room. He separates them and follows Chris out of the room. Emily turns on Dusty, asking if he is trying to ruin her life. "I will get payback for this if it's the last thing I do," she says and storms off. Margo overhears! She asks Dusty what is going on but he won't say a word. Tom returns to Kim, who is worried about Chris. Tom says it has something to do with Emily and Dusty; Lily overhears and wonders if Chris now knows more than he wanted to about "those Stewart women". Emily chases after Chris but he won't give her the time of day. Dusty watches it all and then calls his investigator to bring in the coffee mug results. Holden and Bonnie reunite. She realizes he isn't really there with her and asks what is going on. They leave together. Lily watches them. Dusty sees her and asks what she is trying to accomplish. Lily is too drunk to care what she has done; Dusty tells her to apologize and Lily tosses her drink on him! Lucinda comes over and tells Lily she needs to calm down. Kim interrupts before Lucinda can take Lily away. Lily swears she is fine and just needs to freshen up. Lucinda goes back to the party. Lily sees an unmonitored cart and begins to rifle through it looking for drugs! She grabs one pill bottle and takes several capsules.

Back inside Chris and Evan take center stage and begin the presentation about MEMO21. Chris dedicates the project to Bob. Before he can sign the contract Dusty interrupts and tells everyone that Bob didn't want the project! Margo tries to interrupt but Dusty says he has proof against Chris and his underhanded dealings. Kim and Tom both try to get Dusty to shut up. Holden and Bonnie return as Lucinda rushes from the room and asks where Lily is. She tells him about the scene and asks Holden to find Lily. Bonnie returns inside alone and Holden goes to search for Lily. Lucinda returns and asks everyone to hear Dusty out! Chris calls for security and tries to have him arrested. Lucinda won't let Chris do it and says no one will sign any contracts until they hear everything Dusty has to say! Chris can't believe he is being foiled again.

Holden is searching the hallways. He goes around one corner and finds Lily, collapsed, on the floor. He calls a nurse and Lily is wheeled away. Holden goes after Dusty, telling him that Lily OD'd and it is all Dusty's fault! Lucinda hurries off to be with Lily. Holden focuses on Dusty, who says Lily's overdose is Holden's fault and not his! He tries to leave to go down to see Lily but Holden won't let him go and swears if he goes near Lily Holden will kill him! Margo tells both men to stop fighting.

Lucinda returns to the party, telling everyone that Lily will be okay. She and Holden are relieved; Lucinda says Lily blames Dusty, too. Dusty storms out and Emily watches him. Meanwhile Chris tries to convince his family to let him sign the contract but they won't let him. Chris sees Holden and the two bond a little over their mutual dislike of Dusty. Chris tells Holden that Dusty will pay and walks off. He spots Lucinda and tells her that he is going to take care of Dusty once and for all. Emily sees Chris and asks him to come away and talk with her. He throws the prostitution back in her face and then walks away. Holden talks to Bonnie about how horrible Dusty is. Bonnie tries to convince him that Lily made her own bed but he won't listen to her. He says Lily needs him now but he isn't sure what that means for them as a couple. Bonnie leaves. Margo and Tom wonder what Dusty might have on Chris; Tom is upset when Margo seems to be siding with Chris. Emily follows Chris and tells him that sleeping with Dusty was a mistake that she regrets. Chris isn't interested in listening to her. "You slept with the one man. . .stay away from me," he says and leaves. Dusty walks up but Emily won't speak to him. In the main room Lucinda realizes that Evan is really anxious to sign the contract and wonders why. Holden walks back in and asks Lucinda how they can keep Dusty away from Lily. He sees Dusty coming back over and tells him to stay away. Holden goes to Lily's hospital room but she is gone! Dusty gets a call from his investigator and goes to get the information. He goes into a darkened room to wait. Someone comes inside behind him!
