Vicky and Shane are furious to receive subpoena's about the Robert's divorce but no one was more angry than Lila who storms over to Grant and accuses him of using her to get back at Vicky.

Vicky comes over to confront Grant about using the divorce case to stop her from taking Kirkland on a trip.

Grant comes home, incensed Vicky was only allowing him to see Kirk during regularly scheduled visits. Cindy, dressed to kill, told him he shouldn't be too concerned because he's not really Kirk's dad. She then states that having that info gives her a lot more power and she was going to do as she pleases - which includes buying Paulina a big fat welcome home gift. Meanwhile, Paulina was anxious to leave detox and convinces Joe not to listen to Father Gordon who wants her to continue inpatient treatment for another month. Paulina was slightly dismayed to find a house full of family members waiting to welcome her home but puts on a brave face. Lila runs into Matt again while looking for Jake and although he pours on the charm - she is still too preoccupied with Shane. Cindy and Grant have another confrontation and then she reminds him that she can fix it so no one ever finds out he isn't Kirk's dad. They are interrupted by Lila who rages at Grant and reminds Cindy that Grant bought her pearls. Gary and Josie enjoy an evening together, despite worries about Rayburn. Carl comes by and asks Gary to go to the French Riviera to investigate Alex's daughter but Gary says he can't leave because of Rayburn. Later, Josie gets a call from Toni that Rayburn was caught so Gary leaves on his trip. Right after he leaves, Rayburn calls Josie and says he's going to get her and Toni. Vicky confronts Shane about the subpoena and he was shocked to find out Lila has set them up the whole time. He earnestly explains the death row letter was for her and not Lila. She realizes that she fell in love with a good man but firmly told him that its over now and she loves Jake (although the indecision was pretty clear on her face). Shane rages that they would be together if not for Lila's machinations and went storming off to confront his ex-wife.

Matt wants Amanda to stay out of it for her own sake but Alex says she's working out just fine. Amanda tapes Carl reciting poetry to baby Elizabeth and later talking trash about Hadley.
