Gabriela and Joe are having lunch at the Recovery Room. Neil comes in and hugs and kisses both of them. When Courtney comes in, Neil goes off to the kitchen. Courtney gets mad and tries to stop Neil but he goes in spite of her. Courtney turns to Joe and says that she knows what he's trying to do and he's not getting away with it. Courtney is outraged that Neil has asked Joe if he can move in with him. She starts getting loud and heated and even mentions his HIV quite loudly. Gabriela stands up and gets in her face. Courtney finally leaves them alone after Joe warns her about Neil not wanting to live with her because she has changed. When they are alone, Joe tells Gabriela that he is amazed that she is not more bothered by his situation with Courtney, Neil and Frank. She assures him that she isn't giving up on her relationship with him.

Livvie tells Estelle that she never left PC. She stayed to discover her mother's secret. She asks her grandmother if she ever heard of Kevin Collins. Estelle becomes agitated, saying that Kevin worms his way into people's lives. Livvie says that Kevin told her the truth. Estelle says no. How could he know about the baby? Livvie says that Kevin told her that Aunt Grace drowned. As Livvie is asking Estelle if Kevin knew Grace, Rachel enters and tells her mother not to answer because she's there now. Livvie tells Rachel to stay out of it. She wants to know the whole truth. Why didn't anyone tell her about how Aunt Grace died? Rachel insists that they were just trying to protect her. Livvie leaves, saying that she's going to ask Kevin the truth. Estelle lays into Rachel, telling her that she made a mess of the situation again. Rachel loses control and yells back at her mother.

Outside his apartment, Alison reminds Jamal that he is free because of her. As she tries to get closer to him, both physically and emotionally, he backs off. Frank arrives and tells them that all charges have been dropped against him. When they enter the apartment, Jamal is surprised to see that it has been remodelled and redecorated. When Jamal finds out that Alison did all this herself, he is impressed. Neil comes in from the Recovery Room entrance. He tells Frank that he doesn't want to have lunch with his mother. Neil tells Jamal that he's sorry that he was in jail because of his mother. After Neil and Frank leave, Alison tells Jamal that she has a lot more ideas for his apartment. Outside the door, Neil pleads with Frank to let him live at the Scanlon house. His mother is driving him crazy. Courtney is in the Recovery Room, screaming for Neil. When she sees her son with Frank, she wants him to go for pizza with her. Frank asks if Neil can come and stay with him for a few days. As they start to argue loudly, Gabriela takes Neil into the kitchen. Courtney doesn't want Neil with Frank and his "diseased" brother. She swears she'll do anything it takes to keep Neil away from the Scanlons. Back inside the apartment, Jamal tells Alison that he can't accept all the things she bought. She says that she did it for "us." She begins to list all the people they'll invite over. Jamal says there is no "us." Alison asks what he's afraid of. She wants to know "could it possibly be this?" and lunges at him and kisses him. He can't resist her and they stay locked in the kiss for a long time. Thrilled with her success, Alison leaves with a big grin on her face. As Gabriela and Joe discuss what a tough little kid Neil is, he and Frank bring out a humongous dessert from the kitchen. As the group is having a great time together, the camera takes us outside where Courtney is watching them through the window. She calls The National Inquisitor on her cell phone (just happened to have the number). She tells them that she has some dirt on a resident who works at GH.
