While Morgan guesses to herself that she has him fooled, Ridge tells himself that Morgan is hiding something. After saying hello to an old bartender friend named Kenny, Deacon asks Amber to see a show with him. In spite of the $25,000 jackpot she won at the slot machine, Amber announces to Deacon she still wants to go back to Los Angeles and adds that money can't help fix her problems. Deacon entices her into another gamble, betting that his life is more pathetic than hers was growing up. She agrees and explains a few stories about life with her mother Tawny. Deacon outdoes her by revealing the terrible things his stepfather did to him and what it was like growing up with a mother who was a topless dancer for a living. Amber finally agrees that he had a worse life than hers. Rick stops by the club to find Amber and learns from Alexandra that Amber left with Deacon. Finding him surprised that she's not there, she points out that he hurt Amber badly and he's mistaken if he thought Amber was just going to sit around and wait for him.

Upstairs in their suite, Deacon and Amber lie next to each other in bed and grow closer, comparing their disappoints and ability to survive.
