The McKayes know that Varland's ad campaign using Beck's image is not going away, so Ethan decides to take some action to combat his feelings toward Adrien. Jen, who doesn't totally agree with Ethan's course of action, is nonetheless eased somewhat by a visit from an old friend, Adam Lawson. However, that feeling of ease may be short lived. One forgotten person who has been negatively affected by Beck's death and Varland's ad campaign is AJ, only one person who can see that affect and can and does offer some sympathy. With Feeney's help, Quinn discovers who the recipient of the $50,000 blackmail money was. Quinn does question Ryan's action in deleting any of that direct information from Beck's computer. But in finding out the whole story, Quinn may get himself into some trouble. And Ryan and Nicole's relationship hits a bump with the return of VIP guest Melina Sarris, who Ryan has had a sexual relationship with in the past on her visits and who gets whatever she wants.
