Lulu is happy to see Dillon at her front door, even though nothing seems to be able to cheer him up. He describes the sad scene that is playing out over at the Quartermaine's, and asks for a "Murder Mystery" distraction. Scotty arrives before they can say more. He claims that he's there to see Leslie, who has gone to the Q's with a pie. In order to cover what he and Lulu were discussing as Scotty arrived, Dillon says that his mother wants him to major in economics but he doesn't want to. Scotty asks Lulu if she likes bad boys like her mother did. Dillon and Lulu are able to engage Sonny in conversation about his adolescence with Laura. He explains how he and Laura used to sneak up to the attic to be alone. Dillon and Lulu encouraged Scott to explain how Laura ended up killing a nurse named Teresa Carter all those years ago in the attic. Scotty explains that Laura busted her step dad having an affair with the nurse. She came in on a scene in which the nurse was arguing with Rick and from Laura's point of view it looked like she was attacking him. So, Laura hit her and ended up killing her. At the time, Rick suggested that Laura shouldn't have to deal with what she had done, so he convinced Scotty to go along with drugging Laura to block her memory of it. "Until 2002 when my mom started to remember," Lulu reminded him. Scotty said that Luke is to blame for Laura's condition because he let her go off the deep end. Dillon and Lulu want him to explain, but Scott decides that it's time for him to leave.

Patrick sits back down with Robin and presses her to admit her feelings. He thinks she is in denial. He tells her that crying would be a good start; after all, he got really good at it while her life was hanging in the balance. He explains that it was harder to accept because what happened to her wasn't an accident, it was a deliberate act. Robin recalls that the gunshot felt like her stomach was burning. She says that she knew she was going into shock, and remembers leaving her body because it hurt too much. She remembers how everyone was panicking as he talked Emily through the surgery over the phone. She says that she wanted them to tell him… (She's finally starting to break down)…that if she didn't make it that she loves him so much. She remembers bits and pieces of things from after the surgery…about Alan's heart attack especially. She willed herself to get up and help out, but she just couldn't. "He was truly a gentleman. He was so good to me, and to Stone, when no one knew what to make of us." She adds that "he taught me that there is no room for prejudice or intolerance in medicine or in life." Robin is crying fully when she says that she didn't have to live and Alan didn't have to die.

After Scotty has left, Dillon explains to Lulu that Scotty's warnings about Luke are probably colored by the fact that he was jilted years ago when Laura chose Luke over him. Just then, a certified letter arrives for Luke and it's from Alan! Lulu rips it open and starts reading, "Luke if you have received this letter it's because I'm dead and I didn't want the secret who killed Rick Webber to die along with me."
