Bonnie says Alison has a strong case but advises her that winning the case could be the worst thing for her nursing career!
Chris meets with Tom to talk about the sexual harassment suit. He says he broke things off with Alison because she was running hot and cold on him. Finally Chris admits that he did talk to Brenda about giving Alison a second chance. Tom calls Bob and says Chris did make some mistakes. Chris defends his actions in having Alison taken off patient care, saying Alison flunked out and should have been removed. Bob points out that Allie has never had any complaints filed against her.

Lisa points out that both the scandal will be bad for both families and for the hospital. Bonnie defends her client's rights, without giving Lisa any case details. Frustrated, Bonnie says Chris brought this on himself and tells Lisa they have a strong case. Lisa is stunned.
Alison finds Aaron at Java and tells him what happened. Aaron calls in Bonnie who says their case just got stronger. Alison isn't sure she can handle the stress of the case. Bonnie says because Chris blocked Alison's way from leaving the lounge and because he threatened her, they have even more ammunition. Bonnie calls Tom and tells him to reign in Chris or even more charges will be filed! She returns to Alison's table and warns her that they may not play fair. Alison says she is ready to go forward!

She and Henry argue about her work on the case. Bonnie says she was fired - and that if Henry still wants a piece of the Gerard estate she'll help him! Bonnie says she needs a little time to figure things out and that she'll work on a contingency basis - meaning she won't be paid if their claim isn't settled! Henry decides to go along with her and pours them both a drink. Just then Vienna walks in and angrily confronts Bonnie for spending time with Henry! Henry explains what Bonnie is up to and, though she isn’t interested in the money, Vienna agrees to go along with their plans.
At the Lakeview, Henry meets with Bonnie who is handling Gray's estate. Bonnie tells him because he is not a relative, he won't get a penny. Henry wants to sue the estate but Bonnie says he won't win.
At the Lakeview bar, Vienna finds Bonnie and tells her she knew a person like Bonnie would represent a sleaze like Gray. Bonnie retorts that Vienna slept with him. Vienna reminds her how much Gray hurt everyone. She thinks if Bonnie was decent, she would find a way to get all of Gray's victims' justice.
At the Lakeview, Bonnie is on the phone arguing with an attorney to try and help Henry get a share of Gray's estate. She ends up getting fired.

Henry catches up with them at the police station. Bonnie is right behind him. She asks Dallas what is going on but he isn't sure. The three of them burst into the questioning room, demanding that the feds release Vienna. One agent tells them to back off but Dallas says he is in charge!

He begs the feds to listen and swears Vienna doesn't have Gray's money. He calls her his fiancée, which surprises her. She says Gray was in the kitchen most of the time. They all go to the diner where the feds find a Swiss bank account number on a scrap of paper in the kitchen. They turn to go but Henry tells them to clean up the mess they left.

Outside, Brad asks what is wrong but Katie insists she is perfectly fine. Then, she starts to cry. Brad tries to make her feel better but the more he tries to help the more upset she becomes.
