Josh is ready to move into the mansion; Lily is ready to move out. Erica is ready to fight - for Jack!
In Philadelphia, Aidan meets a hooker who looks a lot like Lily. When he calls her Lily, she offers to be anyone he wants – Lily, Daisy, Posey – and Aidan backs away from her. “This isn’t funny,” he says, still believing the woman is Lily. The mystery woman kisses him and Aidan realizes she isn’t Lily! “What, are you a cop or something?” she asks, when he doesn't respond to her. Telling her he isn’t a cop, Aidan asks for a date. She leads him away down the alley. Introducing herself as Ava, she takes him to a hotel! Aidan tries to start a conversation but Ava is more interested in getting down to business. Telling her that he will pay for her time, Aidan talks about Pine Valley. Telling him she has never been there, Ava wonders why Aidan has so many questions for her. She thinks he might be a social worker! “I don’t want your saving, I just want your money,” she says and runs out the door!
At the yacht, Erica interrupts Barbara and Jack. In her fake French accent, she asks if they’re hungry after a night of “sea air”. She uncovers waffles and Jackson takes a bite as Barbara tells him not to touch the food. Jack is enjoying himself, though, as Barbara loses her cool. “This is just breakfast among consenting adults,” Erica says and sits down to enjoy some tea. Jack asks Barbara to try the sausage and she becomes even more angry. She leaves to shower and dress. Alone in the room, Jack asks what Erica is really up to. “This is just my way of saying how happy I am for you,” she says, but Jack doesn’t buy it. Before he can get anywhere, Barbara returns and tells Erica, again, to leave the yacht. Sean calls, interrupting them and telling Jack that Lily is missing. Worried, Erica prepares to leave with him, but Jack tells her to back off. “I’m still Lily’s step-mother, nothing changes that,” she says, but he doesn’t listen to her and leaves the ship. Barbara turns, telling Erica that she is now ready for a good meal - especially after her night with Jack! “Then eat up, because you’re not going to do anything like that again for a long time,” Erica says and gathers her things. The two exchange barbs, neither backing down. Letting Barbara know she isn't done with Jack, Erica leaves. A few minutes later, Barbara realizes that she is locked inside the boat – and it’s leaving port!
Jack arrives home and calls Derek to begin the search for Lily. Before he can get through, Lily comes back to the house. Upset, Sean asks where she has been. Showing him several newspapers, Lily says she was just getting information for her own home. “The only solution if she stays is that I have to move,” Lily says, baffling Jack. He asks what the problem is with Barbara and Lily gives him the low down – she is intrusive, she moves things and she doesn’t listen to either she or Sean about what they want! Lily simply can't live that way. Sean backs up Lily, asking Jack to make Barbara leave. Lily tells Jack she doesn’t really want to leave her home but she can’t live with Barbara! Erica arrives, happy to see Lily is back home. Aidan arrives a moment later to see Jack, telling them all that there is a Lily-double in Philly! Sean and Lily begin searching the net to find out if she might have a relative, while downstairs, Jack, Erica and Aidan try to figure out what is going on. Aidan tells them the look-a-like is working as a hooker and Jack asks him to find Ava – again! – and get her off the streets. Alone with Jack, Erica prepares to leave. Before she can exit, he asks wonders what exactly went on between she and Barbara. He tells Erica that she has no rights to him any longer, and in the next breath tells her she should be with Jeff. Erica pauses, tells Jack he is wrong about many things and leaves the house!
At the Chandler mansion, Josh makes himself comfortable as the new heir saying, “Thanks, Dad, who should we destroy today?” JR comforts Colby, who is freaking out about how Adam is acting, telling her he doesn’t mind being exiled from Adam. Babe finally speaks up, telling Josh to leave and letting him know that she doesn't want him there! Tad says it might be a good idea for him to stay, because at least Krystal will have medical care! When Adam tells Josh their first action is to dissolve Chandler Enterprises, JR pipes up, telling Josh that dissolving the company will dissolve Babe’s business interests, too! Krystal comes in, telling everyone to leave Adam alone. She believes if everyone will back off, he will calm down so that they can straighten things out between them. “This is between my husband and me,” Krystal says, telling everyone to stop playing their games. Colby storms from the room, asking if anyone cares about their family anymore. Krystal follows. Adam ignores everything Krystal has said and instead begins tearing up mail addresses to anyone except him. JR follows, telling Adam that the plan isn’t going to work. “Josh and Babe are done,” he says, not worried about his competition. Adam walks to the parlor and invites JR to take a look at just how “over” Josh and Babe really are. Inside, Babe is trying to convince Josh to leave the mansion. “I’m here to make sure you’re okay,” he says. Babe can’t believe what she is hearing. She doesn’t want Josh anywhere near her and tells him that! When he can’t get through to her, Josh leaves to check out his new home. Babe slams the door behind him. Meanwhile, upstairs, Krystal has made herself comfortable in Adam's bedroom. He is shocked to see her there. Krystal wakes, saying, “You still love me.” Adam tries to convince her that his love has been destroyed but she isn’t convinced. “You broke me but you can’t fix it,” he says, telling her that staying to fight for him won’t work. Adam slams out of the room, but Krystal is sure that he still loves her.
At Wildwind, The residents ask Derek how Janet escaped from the mental institution. Questioning Amanda, Derek asks when she last saw her mother.

Back at the Chandler mansion, Tad questions Josh's motives for going along with Adam's plan. He tells Josh that he is no different from JR - they are both users!

A call interrupts Tad, alerting him to the fact that his house is on fire! Back downstairs, JR comes the parlor, asking if Babe is alright.
