Ben looks at the nurse and says that she is only a friend. Denise tells Ben that she is cold and wants him to get her warm. She tries to pull Ben to her. Andy peeks into the room and sees Ben with Denise. Ben takes out a warm blanket and covers Denise and asks her if that is better. Denise falls back asleep. Ben says that if God would give him another chance, she would be his wife. Ben hears the curtain open and he turns and sees Andy standing there. Andy wants to know what Ben is doing for Denise.

He takes the basket over to the table and covers up the picture so Lily can't see it. Simon and Lily are making small talk and then she sees that he has been sketching something. She asks if she could see what he has been working on and he hands her the sketch pad. He tells her that the picture is of her. She tells him that he has talent. He says that he likes to do portraits on the side. Lily gets a glimmer in her eye and Simon asks her what is she thinking? She says that Holden's birthday is coming up and it would be wonderful to give him a portrait of herself as a gift. He tells her that he will do the portrait if she will sit for him. At first, she isn't sure. She tells Simon that she is antsy and can't sit still for very long. Finally, he talks her into it and he asks if they could work on the portrait tonight. She remembers that Holden may be home and she rushes out of the house.

Lucinda and Jake follow Bryant and they find Abigail. Lucinda questions her about not being in Saudi Arabia. She tells Lucinda that she didn't want to go to Saudi Arabia and she couldn't stay in Oakdale because of her mother. Lucinda tells her that she is not responsible for her mother's actions and she adds that Abigail is nothing like her mother. Jake steps in and tells Lucinda that she could have said that more tactfully. Jake explains to Abigail that Molly should come out of her coma any day and she should be there so Molly can see her face. Abigail does not want to go back. Jake asks her about living on the streets. Does she want to worry everyday that she is going to be robbed? Does she want to have to find a different place to sleep every night? Does she want to scrounge for food everyday? Lucinda butts in and says that she is going to call her father. Lucinda finds Holden on his cell phone. At first, Holden tells Lucinda that he is right in the middle of something and Lucinda interrupts him and tells him that she has found Abigail. Holden says that he has just got into Kennedy Airport and he asks where they are? Lucinda stops a waitress (they are at the diner) and asks her where they are and the waitress replies that they are at the corner of desperate and destitute.

Lucinda reminds him that he did know when he helped her escape. Holden and Lucinda are both yelling at Bryant and Abigail is watching from around the corner. She runs in and tells them to stop yelling at Bryant, she is the one that they are mad at. Holden begs her to come back to Oakdale. He promises that he will make it better for her this time. She says that she can't believe that he isn't mad at her. He says that he is mad that she couldn't come to him and tell him how she was feeling. Finally, she decides to come home with him.

Lily gets home and she can't find Holden anywhere. She sees a note from him laying on the bed and she reads that he has gone to New York. The phone rings and she grabs it and says, "Holden, is that you?" Lucinda is on the other end and she explains to Lily that she had to come to New York to retrieve her grandson and then found Abigail running the streets of New York. She explains that Holden is there and that they will all be home shortly. They hang up and Lily sits down and pours a glass of champagne and takes a sip. She picks up the phone and calls Simon and tells him that Holden won't be home and asks if it is too late to sit for him tonight. He tells her to come back and they can get started. She asks what should she wear? He tells her something with a low neckline and a necklace. Then he asks if she has a family heirloom that she can wear? She says that she does and they hang up. When Lily gets to Simon's, she apologizes for taking so long, she couldn't find the right outfit. He takes off her coat and she has a black velvet dress with a plunging neckline. She tells him that this dress is Holden's favorite and she can wear it off her shoulders if he wants. He tells her that it is perfect and shows her to the chair to sit in. He positions her in the chair and then hands her a glass of wine. She asks if it is for the portrait? He says that he doesn't like to drink alone. He starts to sketch her and he is asking her questions and asks about her family. She says that her family tree is a little mixed up. She explains that Lucinda had adopted her. Simon comes over and says that something isn't right. He reaches out and pulls her dress down so her dress is over the shoulders. He looks at the necklace and says that it isn't quite right. She tells him that Holden had given that to her and she thought it would be good for the portrait. He tries to explain to her that between her face and the dress it just didn't fit and he gets a mirror and lets her look at herself to see the difference. He says that it doesn't matter now, but if she has another piece it may fit better. She says that she has many others that she can choose from. He says that it may even be better if she brings her whole collection with her next time she comes out. She says that she will do that. Simon begins to sketch again and he is talking about his family and his grandfather and the letters. He looks up and Lily has fallen asleep. He says to himself, "Nice work, you have talked her to death." Then he adds that he is no closer to the answer than he was before. He picks up the old photo of the woman that looks like Lily and says that maybe Carolyn Carpenter has the answer. He puts the photo away and walks over to Lily and covers her up with an afghan from the couch. He bends down beside Lily and says, "Well, there is always tomorrow."

She settles down a little and Andy tells her that she needs to get some rest so she can get better and come home. He says that he had to pull some strings to get this room for her. She asks him what he is talking about and he tells her that she is now the extended family of the Hughes' and she gets perks like this. She looks around the room and says that this room must cost a fortune and Andy tells her that the insurance will take care of it. She says that she doesn't have insurance and Andy says that his insurance covers his wife and child. She just looks at him. Kim opens the door and asks if she can come in. She comes in and asks Denise if she is feeling better? Denise says that her fever has broke. Kim asks Andy if she and Denise can have a few moments alone.

He explains to Emma that they had had a change of heart about the color scheme of the room and they got together early and went to the hardware store to have a look at the color chart. Emma says that they are so ambitious that she is going to put them to work on the farm. Emma says that she has to leave and as she walks by Simon she says goodbye to him and he says goodbye. Emma tells him that she loves his accent. After Emma is gone, Lily turns to Simon and says that he had better never do that again. She tells him that Emma is more than a mother-in-law to her and he made her lie to her. Simon apologizes and explains that he didn't think that Lily wanted her to know about the portrait. Lily says that she sees his point, but she doesn't like lying to Emma, she doesn't keep secrets from her. Simon says, "Except for the portrait." Lily says that is right and she wants to keep it a secret until it is finished.
