and John are partners since she inherited Jason's share of Frame Construction. While waiting to

improved without the blood transfusion, which could have proved that the baby isn't Jamie's. Liz
welcomed Russ back home, then warned his ex-wife, Sharlene, to stay away from him. Russ was

"for old times' sake," Mitch took Rachel out to cheer her up after a former acquaintance had come
on to her physically. Evan's talk about seeing Sam and Olivia together at Sam's studio made

was puzzled about Sharlene's nervousness around Lucas, until Sharlene admitted that Lucas was
one of her johns when she worked as a prostitute. Lucas forced Frankie to tell Cass that she would

she was confronted by a man in a trench coat. Lucas won the bidding on Amanda's portrait, which
he sneaked into Felicia's charity art auction after he noticed the red swan in the corner of the
painting. While trying to steal Amanda's portrait at Mitch's request, Cass and Frankie got locked in

has a crush on Sam, lied that her father has cut off her allowance. Olivia tried to convince Griffen
to use her in the Bay City Ballet company after he is chosen as director. Evan and Vicky pretended

figured that Rachel was off somewhere having a tryst with Mitch, she agreed to go on a New York
