In his room, Stefano tells Bart that they must find Celeste immediately. Stefano fears that if Lexie learns what happened to Celeste, Lexie will never forgive him. Stefano also says he has to stop Hope from uncovering the secrets of Maison Blanche. Lexie goes in to see Stefano and she tells him that Bo was poking around the hospital trying to learn how he is. Stefano asks why and Lexie says she think it may be because of Maison Blanche. Stefano says he already told them everything he knows and he isn't lying because he's trying to become a man she (Lexie) can be proud to call father. Lexie leaves and Stefano says he has to prevent anyone from finding out the secrets of Maison Blanche. Lexie returns later and tells Stefano that he can leave, but he has to hire Lynn as his private duty nurse, which Stefano agrees to. Stefano asks Lexie if he can do anything for her and she asks him to find Celeste. Stefano agrees and Lexie also calls Abe for help, which Stefano doesn't like. As they talk, Stefano is shocked when Lexie says that the investigation of Kristen's death has been reopened and Laura was at the scene of the crime.

"Susan" says that Laura claims she didn't see Kristen that night and Marlena asks "Susan" how she knows that. "Susan" says that she just happened to have overheard them talking when she was on her way to the kitchen. Roman also tells "Susan" that she has to stay in Salem because she saw Kristen that night. Edmund becomes defensive, but Roman tells him that in light of the Evidence, "Susan" has nothing to worry about. Kristen tells herself that if Laura is blamed for "Kristen's" murder it is because good'ole self-righteous Doc went snooping. Edmund starts asking a lot of questions about the original suicide theory. Abe and Roman begin to speculate that Laura may have spiked Kristen's drink with pills and Abe decides it's time to bring her in. Once again, Marlena tells Abe that Laura could go into shock and that Laura's mental state could collapse and she may end up back in the institution, which would be a shame if she was innocent.

Roman, Abe, and John go to the Blake House to search for more clues and Edmund tells "Susan" he has to go take care of something and he leaves. "Susan" and Marlena are left behind alone and they talk about Marlena's theories about Kristen's death. Marlena tells "Susan" that Kristen was not the type of person who would commit suicide. As they talk, Kristen is sure that Laura killed the woman in the pool and she is home free. Kristen then really lays it into Marlena about how she must feel so guilty that her admissions made Laura the main suspect. Marlena says she had to tell them because she couldn't live with her conscience. Kristen realizes that she's stuck around Salem long enough and plans to return to England tonight.

Later, Susan pretends that she is going to barf because all the weird food they made her eat made her sick. Maya is told to go on instead of Susan, but if she is faking this than she will die.

John gives "Susan" a call and asks her if she can check the clothes she was wearing the night Kristen died and see if a button is missing. "Susan" agrees to check and call John back, but she realizes that everyone is so focused on Laura that they won't figure out she is gone until it's too late. "Susan" calls back and tells an officer that she is missing no buttons from her clothes. Abe then decides it's time to call a judge and get a warrant to search Laura's house.
