She bends over and picks up Simon's shirt and helps him put it on. He starts to apologize for the fire and she tells him how thankful she is. She tells him that if it wasn't for him she may have never taken the time to look at the old photos. She asks him why he called her beloved and then asked for forgiveness? He fumbles through an explanation, but Lily says that she thinks that he was thinking of his grandfather at the time. She invites him to come and stay at her house and he declines. He tells her that he is going to leave Oakdale today. She tells him that he can't take care of himself with his hands all bandaged up. She asks him to at least come home with her and show Luke that he is OK. He tells her that he will go with her, but just for a minute.
When Lily and Simon get to Lily's house, Lucinda is there with the children. Simon talks to Luke and tells him that he is going to be OK.

Luke comes back in and drags Simon off to look at the fort he had built. When they are gone, Lucinda asks Lily if she is out of her mind? Lily explains that she owes it to Simon.

He says that it won't matter anyway, because by the time Holden gets back, he will be gone.

Margo comes walking in and sees the graphic and asks Katie if she is out of her mind for doing a piece like that. Katie looks at Henry and then says that it would be therapeutic to do the story and get everything out into the open.

They see people are watching them so they go into John's office. John tells her that Isaac runs around with unsavory people. Camille defends him and says that he has cleaned up his act and bought the club with his hard earned money. John asks her if she is going to grow up and stop acting like a love sick girl. He tells her that she had better open her eyes and see Isaac for what he really is. She tells John that Ben helped Isaac because he was as disgusted as she was with his meddling. He says that he never pegged her for a fool but now he can see how gullible she really is. John walks out of the room.
At the club, Lisa is congratulating Isaac. Isaac tells her about Ben helping him get his license back. Isaac offers to get Lisa a drink and then he turns to the crowd and says that the drinks are on the house. Everyone cheers. A guy comes up to Isaac and asks about his back room and is it open. Isaac's smile disappears and he takes the guy aside, away from Lisa. He tells him that his back room is not open to the public or to him or his friends. He says that his back room will be by invitation only. The guy chuckles at him and asks if he thinks the good citizens of Oakdale will keep him in business. He makes a comment about that bridge player over there (Lisa). Isaac tells him that that bridge player owns half of Oakdale and she is a player. He walks away from the guy and the guy goes over to Lisa and stands beside her at the bar. He is looking at her and when she looks at him, he smiles very slyly at her. Camille comes into the club and sits down at a table with Isaac. She sees the guy with Lisa and asks Isaac if he is the same guy that he was fighting with in his hospital room?
