Just before going into surgery, Hendryx makes catty remarks to Nick and Matt. Hendryx continues to wonder silently what the hospital board chairman would think of Hank being shot while saving Matt. Lauri James arrives at Mike and Toni's hotel room. She approaches them cautiously, saying she only responded to their invitation because they know Hank. Mike reveals that Hank was shot in a bungled drug robbery. He suggests that Lauri visit Hank at Hope, but she responds with the title of her most popular song, "No Way." She explains that she's not the same person Hank once knew. Because of her adamant refusal, Mike and Toni agree to keep their meeting with her a secret from Hank. At Parker's department store, Cathy tries on wigs and annoys with the saleslady with impatience and displeasure over every model. She finally selects a dark wig, and then grumbles about having to buy new makeup so that the getup doesn't look phony. Hank's surgery is completed. Cathy phones the Auburn Hotel to book a room and kitchenette for her and her baby. She thinks to herself that in 48 hours, she'll have Stephanie.
