Natalia confessed to Brot that she was a virgin before they made love for the first time.

Liza decided to drop the charges against Erica, for shooting David, after a talk with Tad. The National Transportation Safety Board ruled that Zach's plane crash had been a result of a malfunctioning fuel selector valve. Later, the NTSB agent called a mystery person to report that the investigation into Zach's plane crash had been closed and that no one, including Ryan, would be looking into it anymore.

January 24 to 28, 2011
Liza set up an internship and admission to a pre-law program for Damon in California. Liza wanted the offer to remain anonymous, so Tad gave Damon the acceptance confirmation from UC Davis. Damon was stunned by the opportunity and his father's unconditional support. Damon decided to grab the chance to pursue his dreams. Asher overheard a revealing conversation between Damon and Liza.

Jackson was hurt that Erica hadn't trusted him with the truth sooner. Caleb decided to call in a favor to get Jackson reinstated as a practicing attorney. JR questioned Annie after he found Marissa's stolen things in Annie's room. Annie explained that she had staged the break-in because she feared that no one would believe that she hadn't intentionally hurt Marissa. Annie was stunned when JR revealed that he, not Marissa, had been the one to call Dr. Burke. JR told Annie that he loved her and that he wanted Annie to talk to Dr. Burke for the sake of their relationship.

Colby found herself handcuffed to a table after a brief struggle with Annie. Annie's mind continued to unravel as she drove back to the mansion. Kendall collapsed during a visit with David in jail. Kendall was diagnosed with an aortic aneurysm, which required immediate surgery. Griffin feared that Kendall wouldn't survive the surgery because of her frame of mind. Kendall became distraught when she suddenly recalled shooting David. Kendall was determined to talk to her mother before the surgery, so Kendall left the hospital.

Amanda revealed to Jake that she had reported Cara to the authorities. Jake was livid that Amanda had endangered Cara's life because of jealousy. Amanda reminded Jake that she had no idea how much trouble Cara had been in because Jake hadn't confided anything to her. Kendall was surprised when Ryan admitted that he had hired someone to investigate Zach's plane crash. Ryan's investigator had found a box with Zach's initials on it that the FBI had missed, so Ryan arranged for the box to be delivered to Kendall. Kendall was shocked to find a letter from Zach in the box that read, "In the event of my untimely death." Ricky managed to divert Kendall long enough to replace the last page of Zach's letter with a page that Ricky had quickly composed.

Cara gave Jake her wedding ring that she had kept on a chain. Kendall had doubts about the authenticity of Zach's letter because of the use of an odd term of endearment that Zach had disliked.

Colby promised the people who had viewed her blog that she would continue to call out anyone in her life who wronged her.

Erica was unsettled that her kidnapper knew so much personal information about her life. Ricky stepped up his game to get closer to Kendall and to eliminate Griffin as a threat. Kendall realized that Ricky was not who he seemed to be when he reassured her with the endearment of "sweetheart," which had been used in Zach's letter. Kendall was stunned when she found the original letter that Zach had sent to her and a flash drive in the yacht that she had once shared with Zach. Kendall showed Ryan what she had found and then confessed that she suspected that Ricky might have murdered Zach. Kendall decided to drop her sons off at Wildwind, to stay with Bianca, so that she and Ryan could uncover proof of Ricky's wrongdoing.

Scott was turned down for a promotion because of his criminal record.
April 25 to 29, 2011
The identity of Erica's captor remained a mystery, but Erica suspected that Krystal was behind the kidnapping.

Erica sent her captor to the penthouse to fetch a book that, unbeknownst to her captor, had a secret compartment with a phone in it.

David took delight in revealing to Ryan and Scott that he had told Madison about Greenlee and Scott's agreement for Scott to keep Madison away from Ryan.

Madison and Ryan decided to name their newborn daughter, Sara Lavery. Tragically, Sara developed pneumonia and a bacterial infection in her blood. Ryan was stunned when the doctors broke the news to him that Sara had died. Madison was devastated when Ryan told her about the passing of their little girl.

Kendall was forced to agree to marry Ricky to keep him from growing suspicious. Griffin uncovered proof that Ricky had known Diana. Ricky was shocked to learn that Kendall hadn't told Spike and Ian about their wedding plans. Jane, Erica's look-alike, found that it wasn't easy to walk in Erica's shoes. Jane recalled having plastic surgery to look like Erica. Jane's odd behavior as Erica raised a few eyebrows, but Jane managed to cover her mistakes. Meanwhile, the real Erica tried to bribe her guard to release her from captivity. Erica was curious if Jane had people in her life who would notice Jane missing.

Scott promised that his love for Madison was real, so he vowed to wait for her. Madison was surprised to learn that she and David had something in common as David talked about the loss of his infant daughter, Leora. Ryan declined Greenlee's offer to help with Sara's funeral arrangements. David claimed that he was the only man who could fully appreciate Greenlee. Erica tried to befriend the thug that Jane had assigned to guard Erica. Erica was shaken when the thug revealed that he had hurt Erica in more way than she could imagine. "Erica's" odd behavior continued to raise eyebrows, but Jane managed to explain things away.
May 30 to June 3, 2011
David discovered that Erica was drinking beer, so he threatened to tell her family if she didn't help him get reinstated at the hospital.
