She says, "Can I come in?" CJ reluctantly nods, and Mercedes walks in, to be ignored by Angie and Aimee. Mercedes says, "I know we're not on the best of terms, but you need to come with me to New York. Angie, they're threatening to merely take out Mitch. You need to come with me to save him before it's too late. I can't do it on my own." Angie angrily smacks her, claiming that Mitch and Farrah wouldn't have needed saving to begin with if she didn't play god. Angie agrees to go to New York City, but tells Mercedes that it would better off if she were to stay in New York City.
 * Karie and Miguel continue to scavenge in the woods, and have begun a more intense relationship, now being lovers. They are both further unstable from their lack of shelter, and Karie says, "I know we haven't had sheleter in a long time, but we need to regroup soon. We need to find somewhere and we can build off of that. We already have people scouting around, but we really can't trust Jay or Raquel's judgement anymore. I need to threaten Raquel with something more major than her former infidelity, but I need to use her kids as a device, and I need you to pay them a visit and take a picture with them, okay?" Miguel asks, "What incentive do we have to rope back in Jay?", and Karie suggests that she would promise to relinquish the leader role to him, not truly meaning it. Miguel sets off, and Karie comes across a cabin, and takes shelter there by herself.
 * Carol is now in a coma, but is carefully watched over by Andrea, whom has moved back from France with her fiancee. Andrea is shocked by the visit from Chad and Samantha, but says, "No. You can't be here, I won't have you here. When my mom wakes up, the last she needs is to see you with her. Chad, she wanted you back, and when she lost you again in Paris, it sent her in a downward spiral that led to this, and now you want to bring her here? No. You can't see here. Family and loyal friends only." Chad begins crying, and Samantha escorts him out of the hospital, and comforts him. Samantha says that she loves him, but Chad doesn't say it back, leading Samantha to be angry and walk off, telling him that she'll see him later. Jeanne walks in Carol's room, saying that she wanted to say goodbye before returning to Switzerland for six months. Jeanne hugs Andrea goodbye, and advises her to look after only herself and Carol, to which Andrea agrees.
 * Joanna learns of Angie leaving for New York, and rushes over to her house. Joanna is now pregnant with Michael's child, and is fending off her feelings for him. Joanna says, "Why would you leave for New York with Mercedes? What could possibly be that important that you would have to leave your family?" Angie reveals that Mitch is alive, causing Joanna to begin crying and asks to join them, but Angie turns the idea down, saying that Joanna needs to rest and focus on delivering the baby healthy. Angie and CJ have a conversation, and Angie says, "Do you think I should go, ya know, bring dad back to this mess?" CJ ignores her, and finally answers, "You usually do whatever you want anyways, so why should I stop you now? You want to push away anyone who cares about you until they're gone, and then you turn cold on the people that are still with you. That's what happened to Cecilia, and she died, and now it's happening to me."
 * Michael is in New York, and he reveals Mitch. He says, "I want to be the one to bring you home, be the one to win the brownie points. But I can't, and I know that Mercedes has told Angie that you're alive, so therefore, we're going to have to move you." Mitch begs him to let him go, but Michael says no, and they head towards Los Angeles, but they are being followed by someone, which is discovered by Michael. They land in Los Angeles, with the person closely following them, being a police officer whose name is not yet revealed.

 * Andrea begins to suspect Carol's doctor, Miles Allen to be drugging her into a medically-induced coma, demanding to see her dosage charts. Andrea is devestated when she learns that Carol has suffered severe brain damage, and begins crying at her bedside. Andrea says to an unconscious Carol, "Mom, you don't have to fight anymore, but if you want to keep fighting, to maybe have the chance to survive, I'm gonna need a sign. You don't need to fight anymore, I want you to be at peace. I love you, mom." Andrea kisses Carol's forehead, and sadly departs the room, calling Jeanne that she is pulling the plug.

 * Angie and Mercedes head home, with Angie telling Mercedes to pack up her things and leave Los Angeles forever, but Mercedes says, "I could've just deleted the text you know. I could've just hopelessly left you on a wild goose chase, but I have the chance to right wrongs, and I plan on doing so, and I'm not going to leave anytime soon. I'm not going to be pushed into joining Pointe like Cecilia was, and have it biting me in the ass at the very end and wind up dead at the hands of you and them."

You need to talk to me, I'm your mom, you can tell me anything, C." CJ hugs his mom crying, revealing that his and Angie's relationship is drifting apart due to Angie's new, cold mentality. Aimee overhears this, and rejects CJ as his daddy, saying that Angie is not cold, but nice. Raiyanna hugs Aimee, and takes her in the other room, crying at CJ's new way of thinking.
 * Karie continues to attempt to reach Raquel, to no avail, and demands to know where she is, and Jay as well, but Miguel texts her that they've disappeared without a trace. Karie breaks a bottle, and begins crying once again, and begins treating Ed and Dorothea, but Dorothea is already dying, and Karie rushes her to the hospital, as well as Ed, and Torrence confronts Karie for lying, as they didn't want to go to a hospital ever again.

You want to try and save somebody but in reality, you're doing it for somebody greater, who's really your boss and what connection or leverage does he have over you? We could've really been together, gotten married. Now, this baby will be involved in a loveless family whose parents despise each other." Michael approaches Joanna, "I don't hate you and you know that, I love you. We're gonna raise this baby together, and I'm willing to take the rest of my life to make this up to you." Joanna says, "You shouldn't have done anything in the first place to have to make up, and we would've been married by now." They get a knock at their door, and it is Morgan, who is asking for Michael. Joanna turns and says, "Oh, is he a member of your new 'cult'? I'm Joanna, and Michael and I used to be in love until he lied to me. And you are?"

Raquel says, "Why do you do that? You always lie to me, and you're always expecting me to like you when all you do is lie to me. First of all, I'm married, second of all, you need to control your emotions because you flip-flop with women every few months, and I knew you found somebody else while we were on the road."

 * CJ asks Joanna about Angie, and Joanna says, "You weren't there for her.. what am I supposed to say to you? You were selfish, careless, and most of all, clueless. How could you be so ignorant and careless as to let her go off on her own to find her daughter? Look, I have a second chance at a family that my first husband couldn't, and Angie is skeptical on marriage because of her history, but you can change that. You have to change that, just be supportive."

I almost want Karie to take me down, what else do I have live for? Lucas is safe, Aimee is dead, and I'm dead on the inside, so why not on the out too?" She begins crying in his arms, and Chad says, "Angie, you have to fight this. You can get through this. You know, losing Cecilia was horrible, but you can't beat yourself up over the loss of a child. Krista and I were pregnant once before too, and our little Jesse was stillborn, it devestated us and it broke our marriage up and it was never the same. We were married, but I don't like to talk about it because of it. You can't dwell on the past, but only face the present. You're not alone, so quit acting like it."

They arrive at the hospital, to find Peter waiting there for Andrea. The pair embrace, and Eli walks in the door, and punches Peter and tells him to stay away from Andrea. Andrea slaps Eli and tells him to stop bullying Peter, and Eli says they need a break, with Andrea in agreeance. Andrea goes in to see Carol, and she asks how the trial went, and Andrea smiles and says that Dr. Allen was put away for a long time. Carol says, "Andrea, have you seen Angie recently?

I just need you to break out of this coma, you've got to do something." Mercedes continues to move her fingers, and Joanna begins crying tears of joy, but this is halted by her noticing Jay walking towards the room, and her hiding under the bed. Jay says, "Congratulations, Mercedes, you've failed yet another mission. I'm sick and tired of spying on Pointe for the cult and you failed to do so, so now, I've got no other choice. I'll execute my task in the morning, you should've fought, dreamed, and succeeded, but you failed. Instead, you fled."
 * Angie wakes up to see Karie standing in front of her. Karie smiles, "Oh, isn't this a nice change? Now I'm the one in power, and you have to do what I say. Oh, and you know Aimee? She's alive, and she's mine." Angie angrily looks up and says, "She's my daughter, and you can back off. She doesn't want you to be her mommy, that's Andrew chose me and Aniyah moved away." Karie smacks a tied up Angie and exits the room, and Karie goes in calling for Aimee as the episode ends while Angie begins crying.
