Greg appears in the waiting room, looking somber, when his mother asks, "How is he?"
At the hospital, after Rachel leaves Shaun's room, Shaun assures his parents that he won't lose Rachel, who they think is a very nice girl.
Greg and Rachel go back into Shaun's room, and after Rachel takes Matthew out into the hallway, Greg says, "Shaun, I have some bad news." After Greg explains all of the details, and claims he can do the surgery, if Shaun trusts him, Shaun replies, "Easier said than done." When Shaun's doctor appears, he informs that Greg has been given clearance to operate if Shaun gives his consent - and Shaun signs the waiver, not wanting to live like a ticking time bomb. Everyone gives their good wishes to Shaun, as Greg takes him into surgery - but not before Shaun tells Rachel he's in love with her… "Be ready to get dazzled," Shaun says, as Rachel and Greg share a stolen glance.
Out in the waiting room, Rachel sits with Shaun's parents, while Matthew assures Destiny that he's there for her. Greg joins them and leads Shaun's parents and Destiny in to see Shaun. He then talks to Rachel, who informs him that she had planned to meet Shaun - to break up with him!
Inside Shaun's room, Shaun's parents call him a hero, but he's devastated to hear that he couldn't save Starr and Hope. Shaun's parents and Destiny leave, and Rachel takes their place - and cries when Shaun says, "Sorry we missed our date." Later, Matthew, Destiny and Shaun's parents join them and make Rachel feel guilty by talking about what a great girl their son has found.
Outside the Buchanan mansion, over talk of how close Rachel and Shaun have become, Destiny starts talking about how good Shaun and Rachel are for each other, and how they started off as friends - but she's interrupted from telling Matthew how she really feels about him when Rachel calls Matthew to tell him about Shaun!
In the courtroom, Rachel snaps at Greg for his assumptions about Nora and Bo's decision - and demands to be put on the stand to shed some light on Greg's motives! Greg is dismissed, and Rachel is called to the stand, where she claims Greg made his testimony to try to get to her! As Rachel tries to discredit Greg, by saying the truth, claiming that Greg 'thinks' he knows her, Tea discredits Rachel - and makes it clear that Greg has no idea about her past - and about her being a prostitute and a murderer, by killing Georgie Phillips! Nora screams for Tea to stop, as Rachel runs from the courtroom - with Greg going after her, and Matthew interrupts with, "You're fired!"
Tea tries to explain that she was only fighting for Matthew, but the judge calls court back to order. However, as Nora and Tea continue arguing, with Nora wishing Tea had a child, so she would know how Nora feels, Nora smacks Tea across the face - and the judge slaps them with contempt of court - and orders them to jail! Destiny tries to calm Matthew, who blames himself for everything that happened today.
As they wait for Matthew's trial to get underway, Matthew asks Destiny if she thinks he's doing the wrong thing by hurting his parents, but Destiny knows, in the end, when Greg is able to help him walk, Bo and Nora will thank Matthew. Matthew worries things are going to get ugly today… Greg and Rachel arrive, as Elijah and Tea rant about who has the most tricks up their sleeves. When court begins, Tea's first witness, Miss Hogan, arrives, in a wheelchair, and explains how she became paralyzed after a gymnastic accident. She then admits that Dr. Evans operated on her, stands up and says, "It was a big success. I owe it all to Dr. Evans." Rachel snaps at Greg, for knowing about this trick witness, as Nora orders Elijah to stop Tea's tactic, but the judge allows the witness to continue, who claims the doctor saved her life.
After Elijah makes it clear that Miss Hogan was of age when she gave Greg consent to operate on her, Tea calls Greg to the stand, establishes his high credentials then Elijah cross-examines - making it aware that Clint brought Greg to Llanview, it wasn't Matthew's parents' choice, and that there are risks that Matthew's condition could worsen, he could even die, after this surgery. As Greg claims Nora and Bo are just scared, Rachel stands up and screams, "Now that's the biggest bull I've heard in my life!"
