Josh Comes Back.

Olivia is on the phone with Decker talking about how exciting her new job is. After she gets off the phone, Rick arrives. He tells her that she is the worst patient he's ever had and she should be in a hospital bed right now. She tells him to stop being melodramatic. She doesn't want anyone to know that she is sick; it makes them act nice and condescending. She has things she has to sort out right now. He thinks that she needs someone, like Natalia, to look after her. She promises to come to the hospital soon and closes the door on him. When she sits on her bed, Emma comes and sits on her lap. She shows her a drawing of her as the new face of Galaxy. She wants to be 'a business mongel' just like her mother. Olivia tells her it's a 'mogul' and, even if she is away on business, she will be thinking of her.

Rick corners Natalia outside to talk to her about Olivia, hoping that she can help readjust her priorities. Nat offers to see what she can do. She goes inside and lays into Olivia, accusing her of playing around and telling her to 'go ahead and die already'. Olivia follows her outside and asks her if they're friends. Natalia isn't convinced and she doesn't like her jokes. Olivia repeats that she will go to Cedars after she takes care of some things. She needs someone to represent her interests at The Beacon and asks Natalia to help her. Natalia has some conditions for her: Olivia has to check herself in immediately. Then she worries about how the staff will react to her new position. Olivia tells her to grow a backbone. As she rants at her for never taking risks, she begins to gasp and collapses.

A Life of My Own.

At Cedars, Rick tells Olivia and Natalia that the tests they've been getting may indicate that her body is rejecting the heart. He tells her that they need to treat this aggressively but it may only be a one-time problem. Natalia worries. Rick admits that this could keep happening and, at worst, Olivia may need another heart. After he leaves, Natalia offers to stay and help. Olivia sends her away.

Olivia returns to Cedars for her injections. Rick warns her that this could be a short or a long stay depending on how she responds. Afterwards, she goes past Company on her way to get Emma. When she bumps into Buzz, he points inside. Looking through the window, she spots her daughter eating ice cream with Natalia.

You Were Right.

Natalia brings Olivia to Cedars and refuses to leave her alone despite Olivia's protests. Rick shows up and suggests that Natalia stay and provide a second set of ears. The women bicker but seem more comfortable with this.

Nobody's pet.

Beth walks out and talks to Alex. "This is the best it's been in months," Alex says, sure that things are getting better for her brother. She even brought a photo album to show him. Rick advises her not to show him any pictures of Gus. They go in to visit. Alex hands him the album. He seems touched to see Lizzie, one of the only members of his family who didn't want him to die, he jokes. They talk about how much he loves Lizzie and how much she needs him. Later, Alan asks her if he was really 'that absent' before he had the surgery. She tells him that he had lost faith in his own judgment and became reliant on 'other things'. He thinks he should learn to rely on Lizzie now and asks her to get her.

You're a Jerk.

At Cedars, Rick tells Beth and Lizzie that Alan is conflicted. Part of him wants to get out but part of him refuses to let go of Gus. Beth leaves to see Alan. Bill tells Lizzie how sad it is to see Alan pretending. He suggests that they call his bluff and call the press to tell them that Alan is only a shadow of himself. "You're a jerk," she says, walking away.

The Go-to Guy.

At Cedars, Alan stares at Lizzie and Bill. Beth and Alex file in. Lizzie shows them the note that Alan wrote reading, "Who are you?" They assume he's joking. Bill suggests this could be a blessing in disguise. Alex and Beth badger Alan. Bill chews his fingernails and asks Rick about the possibility of brain damage before walking into the hall and calling Decker for a meeting.

Back at Cedars, Alex tries to get through to her brother by handing him a Cuban cigar. Lizzie shows him an article about her and Decker working together. She tells him everything he taught her about business and fighting. The women tell him how much they love him. He continues to stare and say nothing. Rick asks them all to leave him alone for awhile. Lizzie walks into the hall and calls Decker, suggesting that Bill may be sticking his head in, trying to close the deal. She offers to make him a deal right now. Decker is still sitting with Bill and tells him he has another bidder. Unknowingly, Lizzie and Bill compete bidding until Bill ends up offering 8 percent more than the initial deal.

Beth returns to see Alan with Peyton. She puts the baby on his lap and reminds him that she is his hope for the future. Later, he sleeps and Beth returns after bringing the baby to the nursery. Alex arrives and Beth cries, worrying that Alan may never come back to them. Suddenly, Alan opens his mouth and says 'Elizabeth'. Beth runs out and gets her daughter. They bring in Rick and Alan begins to speak again. They're all thrilled. As they file out so he can rest, Alan asks Bill to stay behind for a minute. "I just want you to know that your free ride is over," Alan threatens.
