Natalie and Viki have a heart to heart conversation. Nat tells Viki that she shouldn't have gone to Jen's service because of her illness. Viki says she wouldn't have missed it, because Jen was once her daughter-in-law; but more importantly, Lindsay asked her to speak, and Viki knows exactly how Lindsay is feeling. "Because of Megan," Natalie states. "Yes, Megan was very much on my mind today," Viki replies and expresses her wish that Natalie could have known her older sister. Natalie says that Jessica has told her a lot about Megan. Viki and Natalie touch briefly on Natalie's attempts to snare John. Viki tells Natalie that she understands why Natalie sometimes shuts her out: it's because Viki didn't find her until she was an adult, and then proceeded to do horrible things to her as Niki Smith. Natalie tells Viki that she knows Niki was the one responsible for hurting her, and that Viki would never do anything to harm her children. She also says that what she's really afraid of is disappointing her mother; Viki says this could never happen.

She further informs Dr. Jamison about her mother's history with DID, and he says that there is a slight genetic disposition towards the disease. Jessica is now convinced that she has DID, but the doctor tells her they must run more tests. For right now, though, he doesn't want her to be alone.

R.J. tells Lindsay that he will not expect her to testify at Jamie's custody hearing after what she's been through with Jen.
