Travis tries again to convince Jack to search the internet for a potential mate for Jennifer. Jack is completely against the idea, but Travis is under orders by Stefano to do something drastic - to make Jack believe that Jennifer and Abby are not safe at home alone without a man. Stefano pays a man to try to break into Jenn's house. Travis arranges to get a cellular phone that Jack can use so that Jack will be on the phone when the break-in occurs. But before then, Jennifer wonders if Kristen could help her get Jack out, and calls her. While she is on the phone with Kristen, Jennifer hears a suspicious noise.

As they are talking, Travis looks at his watch, knowing that any minute, the attempted break-in is scheduled to occur - but not knowing that John is on the premises.
Meanwhile, things are really heating up at Kristen's house. After John described to Kristen Marlena's patient with the pet rock, Kristen remembers that Susan is somewhere in the house frantically searching for a rock to calm her down. Kristen begins to have the dreadful suspicion that Marlena's patient and Susan are one and the same. At first, she laughs it off, thinking that if Susan were Marlena's patient, Kristen would have been nailed long ago, as soon as Susan told Marlena the truth about the baby. But after John leaves to go to Jennifer's, Kristen's suspicions multiply. Susan enters the baby room after having searched the whole house for her rock and finds a nervous Kristen. Kristen asks Susan where she got the rock, and what her friend's name is, praying it's not Marlena. But after some prodding, Susan confesses that her friend is indeed Dr. Marlena Evans. Kristen's worst fears confirmed, she nearly loses it and thinks of attacking Susan with a statuette, but Susan is too alert, and Kristen leaves in turmoil, determined to find out just how much Marlena has learned. In the parlor, Marlena finds the rock on the floor, and is astonished to discover it looks exactly like the one she gave Susan. At first she dismisses it as coincidence, but as she begins to make notes in her tape recorder about Susan's case, pieces start to fall into place. She remembers the references to "the evil woman", "the vampires", and "the monster", and begins to wonder if the descriptions could apply to Kristen, Vivian, Ivan, and Stefano. Most troubling of all, she wonders if the father of Susan's child - the man she claims to have married - could be John. As Marlena begins to put the puzzle together, Susan nearly encounters her several times while searching for her rock, but manages to just miss her every time. Marlena toys with the idea that Susan could be John and Kristen's baby nurse. But then she realizes that Kristen would have no need to buy a baby, and that there is no way John could have married Susan because she looks nothing like Kristen. Then she remembers the brooch of Kristen's she found in her office after Susan had left...and the blue contacts Susan wore which made her eyes look just like Kristen's. Suddenly, horribly, the whole scheme clicks into place, and Marlena realizes exactly what Kristen has done, and just how evil she really is. Just then, Kristen enters the living room and finds Marlena staring at her in horror. "You BITCH!" Marlena says. "It was all lies!" Kristen tries to feign ignorance, but Marlena tells her that she knows all about Susan and the horrible thing Kristen did. Kristen, speechless for once, stares numbly at Marlena as her whole tower of lies comes crashing down on her...
Jack gets through to Jennifer on the cellular phone. As they are talking, John comes in and tells Jennifer that the place checks out and he will be leaving. As Jennifer is explaining to Jack what John is doing there, she hears the sound of a struggle outside, and a sudden scream from inside. Jennifer drops the phone and rushes upstairs to Laura. Outside, John ambushes the prison guard whom Stefano hired to scare Jennifer, but before he gets a chance to question him, John hears Laura's scream and lets the guard go as he runs upstairs to help. Jack, meanwhile, is going crazy wondering who screamed and what is happening. But the prisoner whose cell phone Jack borrowed comes back demanding his phone, and Jack is in agony wondering what is going on. He begs God to keep Jennifer safe that night and promises that if He does, Jack will do all he can to help Jennifer find someone to protect and love her and Abby. John and Jennifer and Nurse Lynn, meanwhile, rush to Laura's side. Lynn was already nervous because Laura had refused to take her pill earlier in the evening, claiming it upset her stomach. As her memory cleared, Laura had her recurring nightmare about Kristen. As John enters, Laura is telling Jennifer that John needs to be with Marlena, who loves him, and dump Kristen, who is evil and standing in the way of his true happiness. But just as Laura is about to explain what she means, Lynn casually injects her with a sedative which knocks her out immediately. When John and Jennifer angrily demand to know what she is doing, Lynn says Laura was agitated and she was just trying to calm her down and do her best for her patient. John and Jennifer ponder what Laura could have meant. Both decide that her claims against Kristen are crazy, but John privately wonders whether the part about Marlena is true. Pensive, he starts driving home.
At Kristen's house, all hell is breaking loose. Marlena, who has just figured out the whole Susan fiasco, is at first stunned, and accuses Kristen of being a bitch and a liar. When Kristen tries to deny it, an infuriated Marlena tells her not to even try it, and that she knows everything - about Susan, and about the baby, who is not Kristen's or John's. As Kristen tries to maintain her composure, Marlena loses control and flies at Kristen, attacking her. Kristen manages to fight her off and bring Marlena to her senses by saying, "You're hurting me!" Marlena backs off, saying that she will not sink to Kristen's level. Vivian and Ivan burst in, coming to warn Kristen that Susan is Marlena's patient, but Marlena tells them it is too late and that she figured out their scheme. Marlena demands to know what their part in it is, and figures out that Vivian blackmailed Kristen. As Marlena begins putting the pieces together, she comes to the realization that John is not even married - his marriage to Susan was a fraud because he thought it was Kristen. Kristen becomes hysterical and admits what she did, but begs Marlena for pity, saying she will lose everything. Marlena refuses to be moved, saying Kristen has taken advantage of her kindness once too often. Kristen immediately turns vicious. Marlena begins searching the house for John while Vivian, Kristen, and Ivan frantically try to come up with a plan. Upstairs, Marlena finds a sleeping Susan next to "Elvis", and compassionately reassures her that she will be with her baby now. Marlena finds the wig, teeth, and makeup, confirming her suspicion that Susan dressed up as Kristen. She comes back downstairs, and while she is accusing Kristen, she figures out that all of Laura's memories must be true. Kristen confirms it by screaming that Stefano wanted to kidnap Laura, but they did a laser procedure instead. Marlena is horrified by that, and by the fact that Stefano is still alive. Just then, she realizes that if Stefano is alive, then maybe Peter is, too. Kristen's silence confirms it, and Marlena is stunned anew by the enormity of Kristen's evil - that she would allow Jack to rot in prison for life for a murder that never even took place. Vivian and Ivan quickly find an excuse to be gone, as Marlena warns them they will pay for their part in the scheme. Kristen and Marlena exchange more harsh words, and Marlena finally stalks out of the room and stands outside the front door, secure now in the knowledge that John will soon be home and she will be able to tell him everything. "Hurry home," she says, staring out at the road.
