At the Penthouse Grill, Roman flirted with Kate while they both waited for their respective dinner guests. Kate snubbed him and pretended not to care. The banter continued until Roman got around to asking Kate about her past involvement with Stefano. When Kate got word she'd been stood up, Roman invited her to join him. She refused and left immediately with Roman chasing after her. While sharing the elevator, the storm took the power out and the two were trapped together.

Bo called Hope to let her know that the hospital tape showed the ID bracelets definitely were switched, probably by Stefano. Hope shared this tidbit of information with Barb, who daydreamed about the hush money she had received from Lexie.

Meanwhile, Billie hung around the police station, waiting for an opportune moment to impose herself on Bo's bust. She finally convinced a newlywed detective not to risk going undercover and volunteered herself for the gig. When Billie showed up for the warehouse bust, Bo was furious, but let her go in. When Billie got herself in a compromising situation, Bo and his troops charged the scene. The perp grabbed Billie at gunpoint, but she flipped him then pinned him. Bo was less than impressed and threatened to take her badge for subverting his authority and jeopardizing the operation.

Abe gave Lexie a chance to come clean with any other secrets she had been keeping from him. While Abe got called away on a confidential phone call, Brandon showed up to lure Lexie to come with him instead of staying with Abe. When Lexie refuses, Brandon warned her not to call him when Abe turns his back on her again. Brandon stormed out just as Abe returned from his phone call. When Abe pressed Lexie further about her honesty, Lexie got defensive and started to leave. As she opened the door, lightning hit nearby and she turned back into Abe's arms and began to cry. Back inside, Lexie agreed to tell Abe what she had been keeping from him, but all she admitted was that she had suspected her father of the baby switch. She told Abe that she had believed her father when he denied any involvement. Abe said he believed her and they went upstairs to their bedroom.

Sami set out on a plan to be Brandon's secret admirer. Caroline discouraged Sami from trying to trick Brandon into giving her his attention. Sami got mad and went to the roof for fresh air. She imagined Brandon meeting her there for a romantic rendezvous when she reveals that she is his secret admirer. Instead, Brandon really came to the roof, but he was furious with Lexie. Sami told Brandon to get over Lexie because she is with Abe now. Sami got mad and tried to leave, but the door was stuck. The storm was getting worse and Sami and Brandon continued to argue fiercely while stuck on the roof in the rain until suddenly they were embraced in a passionate kiss.

Feeling guilty for keeping her knowledge about the baby switch from Hope, Barb 'fessed up. She told Hope that she had known for a long time before anyone else knew. She told Hope about going to bribe Lexie, then she dropped the big bomb: Lexie had already known about the switch too! Hope was so shocked that she called Bo immediately, but had to settle for his voicemail.

Meanwhile at the warehouse, Bo's phone beeped with Hope's message, but Billie and Bo were still arguing about Billie's insubordination. Just then, a huge bolt of lightning struck as Bo and Billie turned to see something huge about to crash into the warehouse on the dynamic duo....
