Hope wakes up in the hospital and is confused about what happened, and thinks that it was Bo who saved her. Bo tells her that Franco saved her and Hope says that that proves Franco is not the man Bo claims he is. Bo tells Hope he will find Jill land prove he is right.
Franco comes to visit Hope and runs into Alice. Alice tells Franco hope has been moved to the second floor and he panics when he realizes Jill is also on the second floor.
Back in Hope's room Bo finds out that his computer search request for Jill has been rejected by Abe. Abe tells Bo that it's out of his hands now Bo pleads for 24 hours more, but Abe can't give it to him. Bo tells Abe that he will search for Jill on his own and Abe reminds him he will be suspended. Bo says he is aware of that and hands over his badge claiming that he is now a private citizen. Hope asks Bo not to do this but Bo is determined to find Jill and leaves. Outside he runs into Franco and thanks him for saving Hope but that doesn't change his mind. Franco tries to get Bo to go talk with him at a coffee shop and Bo wants to know why he's so nervous. Hope comes out and tells Bo to stop badgering Franco. Mike comes to see what the disturbance is and Hope asks when she can leave. Mike tells her he has the papers ready for her to sign at the nurses station and Hope goes to sign them. Mike asks Bo what is going on and Bo says it's just a misunderstanding. Mike tells Bo to go talk to Hope, and he eventually finds her on the terrace. Bo tells Hope he is going to keep searching for Jill because someone knows where she is. Hope tells Bo he needs to face the fact that Jill will never be found and they will never be married. Bo says he loves Hope and not Billie and will find Jill, but Hope just goes back inside without speaking.
Billie dreams about whether to tell Bo about Jill or keep silent. When she wakes up Kate comes in to check on her. Kate wants to know what her decision is and Billie says she is going to tell him. Billie says that not telling Bo will be keeping Bo and Hope apart, but Kate says that Hope is the one keeping them apart and she should let Hope live with the consequences. She says that Hope knows Bo still has feelings for Billie and that all Billie needs to do is remain quiet and let fate take it's course. Billie says that would be selfish of her but Kate says that Hope is being selfish by asking Bo to forget Billie. Kate tells her not to walk away from Bo again, and that if she's silent about Jill Bo will return to her.
Meanwhile Jill's fever has broken and she is being prepared to be transported to the long term facility. Franco watches and realizes by time Billie is ready to tell Bo it will be to late.
Billie goes to the chapel to pray to God for advice on what to do. She is torn because she doesn't know whether Bo will be happier with Hope or with her, and she fantasizes about their wedding together. She asks God if it is so impossible to think that Bo would choose her given the chance, and if Jill disappeared he'd have that chance. She says that if Bo chose her she could love him like nobody can, not even Hope and she will make him happy. Billie doesn't know if she can remain silent and knows she has to make a decision before Jill is transferred to the long term facility.
As Hope leaves for home Bo offers her a ride but says she needs to be alone. Billie approaches Bo and Bo tells her about his search for Jill being canceled. Billie is unsure she can keep quiet about Jill because Bo is hurting, but then she finds out from Mike that Jill is being boarded into an ambulance as they speak. Billie realizes Jill will be gone in a minuet and all she needs to do is be quiet for 1 minuet. Bo asks her if she thinks his search for Bo is useless and she tells him he should do what he feels is right. Billie watches as Jill is taken away and realizes what she has done. Franco says to himself Billie has solved his problems and Bo is hers for the taking.
Carrie and Austin prepare for their trip as Sami watches from across the hall. Carrie goes into her apartment to get her things and Austin talks with Sami. Sami tells him if he goes on the trip and leaves Will he is no better than his father Curtis Reid. Austin tells her never to compare him to Curtis again. Sami says that he's just as awful as his father, fooling around with one sister while married to another. Austin tells her their marriage is a joke and he loves Carrie. Sami says that babies change in 6 months and when Austin returns he won't recognize Will and Will won't recognize him. Lucas shows up and Sami says that Will will be seeing Lucas for the next six months and asks if he wants Will's role model to be a man like Lucas. Austin says he'll be Will's role model, not Lucas and that Sami is using Will to to make him feel guilty. Sami says that if he's feeling guilty it's because he should. Austin says he's not going to listen to Sami anymore and Sami says he must be prepared to live with the consequences of his decision.

Hope wakes up and comes downstairs to find her grandmother there. Alice asks if anything is wrong and Hope tells her that it's over between her and Bo, that they will never be married. Hope tells Alice she has doubts about Bo's feelings for Billie, and because Bo will probably never find Jill she'll never get those answers and they'll never be married. Hope says she knows that Alice thinks she's foolish for not marrying Bo but she needs to know she is the only one in Bo's heart. Alice tells her she is stubborn and never even considered she could be wrong. Alice says that she needs to follow her heart and that love always triumphs. Hope says not always and remembers back to when she went to tell Bo that she loved him and he asked for a divorce so he could marry Billie. Hope says she needs to be alone to think and goes out for a walk.
Kate finds Billie and asks her if she's told Bo about Jill and Billie says that it's to late, she kept quiet and now Jill is gone.

As they argue Bo comes in on them and says he needs to talk with Billie. Kate leaves and when Billie ask what he needs to talk to her about he tells her it's about Jill and what she (Billie) has done. Billie is speechless until Bo tells her he knows she was looking for Jill last night and thanks her.

Bo leaves and Billie scolds her mother for stopping her. Kate tells Billie that Bo never has to know about Jill.
On the docks Bo remembers back to when Hope and him were happy and asks how everything went so wrong. As he ponders over the question Hope approaches him and says she figured she'd find him here.

As she is taking it off Billie watches from afar and says she can no longer remain silent.
