Spencer wanders through the cemetery and stops at the gravesite of Kevin Buchanan, Jr. He muses aloud, wondering why the good die young. In his mind's eye, he sees gravestones for all of his enemies and vows to do them all in: Dorian, Asa and Todd. He sees himself with Blair.
Dorian runs into a snobby acquaintance of hers at the Palace and listens to her bad-mouth everything including David (she urges Dorian to find someone closer to her own age). When Dorian graciously accepts the extra glass of champagne on her table, she tosses it on the woman instead. The woman, Bunny Logan from Logan's Department Store, attacks Todd next, via Blair, who is promptly assisted by Spencer. He urges Bunny to get a new face lift as her current one hasn't been too successful. When he sits down with Blair he disappoints her by not being able to support her decision to help Todd by talking to the district attorney. After she leaves, Ginger, having witnessed Spencer's temper tantrum, takes her spot and accuses him of using her. They argue and Ginger denies being like Spencer. She threatens to tell Blair everything that Spencer has been up to because she likes the Mannings but he frightens her with his own threats. Nearby, Asa and Dorian have taken their own table to plot against Spencer and the commotion causes them to look up and watch. Asa is momentarily contemplating not teaming up with Dorian but quickly changes his mind. She suggests they hire a private detective to find out about Spencer's skeletons, noting that one is apparently appearing right before their eyes.

With the receptionist unable to keep her out, Blair bursts into the office in time to hear what Jackie has to say.

Hugh promises to prove Todd's guilt and tells Blair she may have to testify against her husband.

David calls upon his former sister-in-law and advises her that Spencer has threatened him; they agree that they're tired of his controlling them but David admits to having figured out his brother's weak spot, Blair. Paige mentions that she's a murderer if David is. Apparently, Spencer has another bomb to drop on them and David has no idea what. He jokingly suggests they kill Spencer and Paige considers it seriously.
Starr visits her father and admits to not being certain whether Todd is innocent or not but she knows he did it for his family if he's guilty. Todd is adamant that he did not kill Margaret and Starr accepts it. An angry Blair shows up a short time later and accuses Todd of lying to her. She tells him that she may have to testify against him. Todd doesn't want her to tell the truth which only angers her more. Spencer was right, she declares. Todd only disappoints her and she's not sure if she believes him now.
