When Anna reminds Robert that on more than one occasion he has called her a traitor, Laura suggests Robert head out and get them a table at The Savoy. Once he’s gone, Laura asks Anna why she’s shutting them out. Anna notes as the mayor Laura shouldn’t be seen associating with her. Felicia and Laura both say the good she’s done outweighs her past. Anna says it’s not about what others think of her, but what she thinks of herself. Anna thought she came to terms with her past because she believed her work at the WSB was balancing the scales. Anna says now that she’s not an agent, she wonders what is next.
Laura offers to ask Valentin to stay behind for her, but Anna knows she’ll need him. Laura admits she needs all the help she can get, so Anna says she’ll be coming with her then. Laura explains normally she’d welcome her help, but given what she’s been accused of, it might not look good for her to up and take off. Anna asks, “What am I supposed to do? I help people. If I’m not an agent, then who am I?” Felicia says she doesn’t need the WSB for a purpose, and many people would love to have her on their side. Anna agrees to not accompany them, and Laura promises she’ll find a new path, or it will find her.

A little later, Esme interrupts again and says she can’t get Ace down and needs Spencer to sing his silly song to him. Trina realizes they have their hands full and will leave for the night. Spencer says he’ll call her tomorrow and they kiss. Esme again pushes Spencer for help, so Spencer takes the baby and sings to him as Trina watches from the door.

“Eddie” finds Nina and says she’s just the person he’s been looking for. He offers to buy her a drink, and she can tell him about the talent that gets brought in here. Nina is confused and thought he was in the hospital. “Eddie” introduces himself and says soon she and everyone else with good taste in music will know who he is. He takes her to the bar, orders them drinks, and toasts to letting the good times roll.
Sonny and Michael approach Nina and “Eddie,” and Nina introduces Sonny to “Eddie.” Sonny asks why he’s in a nightclub when he just got out of the hospital. “Eddie” rants that he’s not sick, and hospitals are for sick people. Sonny offers to buy “Eddie” a drink and wants to hear his music stories. He asks Nina to go make that business call, and she steps aside to call Olivia.
At the hospital, Olivia, Ned, Brook Lynn and Chase find Ned’s room empty. Chase goes to check with the nurses, and Tracy fears “Eddie” left the hospital for some seedy dive bar.

Olivia and the others arrive and find Ned is missing. N’neka takes to the stage and says unfortunately their opening act had to cancel, but the main act is on the way. Out of nowhere, “Eddie” walks on stage with a guitar he picked up and offers to play.

Michael sits with “Eddie,” who wants to get back onstage. Michael suggests he wait and drink some water to hydrate. Meanwhile, Olivia cries to Sonny that Ned doesn’t remember any of them and thinks he’s “Eddie.”
Olivia tries to talk to “Eddie” and asks him to go back to the hospital. He says he’s not sick, but she argues he had a major head injury. He snaps that he can’t stand being in that hospital and he knows who he is. “Eddie” says he’s sorry he’s causing her pain, but he can’t be someone he’s not. Olivia comments, “And you can’t love someone you don’t know.” She begs him to either come home at least for the kids, or she can get him a room at the Metro Court. He appreciates the offer but feels he needs to be on his own.
Meanwhile, Sonny tells Michael that Ned for sure isn’t faking this and thinks he’s “Eddie.” Sonny notices Nina is upset and she says she hates seeing Ned’s family in so much pain. Sonny approaches a tearful Olivia and tells her that he’ll take Ned back to his place for the night. Olivia thanks him, and Michael offers some comfort to Olivia. He knows he and Ned have been at odds lately, but Olivia points out that he’s not Ned anymore. He promises Ned will be himself again, and he’ll help her through this.
Elsewhere, Robert tells Diane that the hates that Sonny is using her to get to him. Diane says she doesn’t get used or taken advantage of by anyone, and she was working to protect her client. She asks why he cares. Robert replies, “I care a whole lot more than you realize.” He values their friendship and their relationship. Diane notes they don’t have a relationship outside of work. Robert feels it doesn’t have to be that way. Diane wonders if he’d feel that way had Holly not left town. Diane doesn’t like being chosen by default. She says it’s not good enough, and she can’t believe he thought it would be.
