Joe's about to be hit by a car, and it turns out Augusta is the driver. She claims that she followed Joe to the warehouse because she's jealous and though he was seeing another woman. Joe gets upset and tells her never to follow him again. After he has gotten rid of Augusta, Joe goes to a phonebooth and calls Dominicks answering machine. He apologizes for the interruption, but assures him that he's all alone now and he has to meet with him tonight.
Later, Dominick appears at the warehouse, and tells Joe to stay away from Augusta. "Stop seeing that woman! Stop working for that viper! You're affair with Augusta Lockridge is killing your chances with Kelly.", fumes Dominick. Joe gets irritated and tells him not to interfere with his private life. "I'd be aware of Augusta - she's treacherous! She may have perverse interest in you finding Channing's killer!", Dominick warns him. Then Dominick wants to go through the stuff that Joe got from Channing's room the other day. There were some interesting things there... like Channing's journal where he writes about a break-in that appeared in the Capwell-house before his death. Why did Channing write this down in his diary? Maybe he was behind the break-in himself?, Joe suggests. Dominick has also found another loveletter and in this one Santana's name is mentioned. Joe is stunned - did Channing and Santana have a secret affair? Yes, it appears so, and maybe this is another clue to finding the real killer. Joe asks to keep the loveletter so that he can confront Santana with it and watch her reaction. Dominick asks him to be careful, since Santana was lurking around the bus station with a gun, and tried to kill him the day he got out of jail. Joe can't understand why...
Ted and Danny are worried about Jade's safety, so they've followed her and the sleazy Hollywood-producer to the fancy restaurant to make sure that everything is okay. The producer, who's name we find out is William Homeby, is acting very charming towards young Jade, and promises her that she's gonna be the next Brooke Shields! He leans forward to kiss her hand, and Danny can barley stop himself from running over to their table... Both Ted and Danny are stunned to see how expensive everything on the menu is, and when the waiter comes by to take their order, they simply reply that they would like to split a shrimp-cocktail - and that would be all. The waiter suspects that cash is a problem here, so he presumes that they will have some water with that. "That's right - on the rocks", replies Danny. Just as Jade and William are about to leave the restaurant, they spot the guys at their table. William introduces himself, and it's clear that Danny doesn't like him one bit. At this very moment, the waiter comes by with their shrimp-cocktail. William insists that they let him choose the main-course for them, and tells the waiter that the boys would like the Chateaubriand - the most expensive dish on the menu. Ted and Danny tries to protest, but to no avail... "And give them a bottle of your finest chardonnay and put the bottle on my tab". The waiter explains that the boys are minors, so William changes the order to grape-juice. After Jade and William has left the restaurant, Ted and Danny tries to cancel the order - but it's too late, cause their steak is already on the grill... The guys enjoy their expensive dinner, but then starts to worry how they are gonna pay for it. They tell the waiter that they too are in the restaurant business - as proud owners of the seafood place Pirate's Catch. Now isn't it customary in the restaurant business that you trade favors with one another? If the waiter were to treat them to this meal, then he could just stop by Pirate's Catch tomorrow and get himself a free dinner, Danny suggests. The waiter declines the offer, and insists that the bill has to be paid. Then the guess claim that they forgot their wallets... Finally, the waiter agrees to stay with Danny at the restaurant, while Ted goes to get some money...
When Ted gets home, he's pleasantly surprised to find that Laken is back. After having exchanged some hugs and kisses, he remembers that he has to bail Danny out of the restaurant, and asks Laken and Jade for some cash. Finally, they manage to get enough money to cover the dinner, and Jade offers to go down to the restaurant with it so that Ted and Laken can have a moment alone. Laken explains that she has something difficult to tell him. Ted presumes that she's seeing someone else, but she says it's nothing like that. It's her mother, and she has started seeing Joe Perkins. Ted throws a fit and fumes that Perkins killed his brother - how can Augusta be sleeping with him?! It's obvious that this could turn out to be a big problem in his relationship with Laken.
Santana is at Cruz's houseboat, and tells him of her plans to transform the boat into a 'floating palace'. She shows him some fabrics and suggests that beige would look great for his couch. But beige doesn't match with the blonde women that he intends to seduce on the couch, says Cruz, so we can't have that... Their conversation is interrupted by Mason, who desperately needs Santana for an "interior-crises" at the Capwell hotel. There's supposed to be a convention at the hotel tomorrow, and the ballroom has to be perfect. Santana agrees to go with him and help with this crises... Later, Mason and Santana is back at her apartment, and Mason wants to be invited in for a little nightcap. Santana is pretty quick to dismiss him though... Shortly thereafter, there's a knock on Santana's door, and she is stunned to see Joe standing there. She wants him to leave, but he hands over the love letter from Channing to her, and she starts to read it... It's obvious that she's upset by the letter, cause she gets tears in her eyes and slams the door on Joe... Joe is intrigued...
