Plot

At a motel, Donovan kills Valentino, while Elizabeth kills Natacha over at the Cortez.

John Lowe confronts Alex for lying to him about Holden being at the hotel. Alex apologizes and the two make amends. She informs John that Elizabeth has threatened to kill her and Holden if she does not contain an outbreak of the virus that she started when she infected her patient, Max.

Will accuses Elizabeth of having Ramona kill him so she may inherit his money. Will informs her that she isn't in her will, but Elizabeth retorts by saying Lachlan Drake is, and that before he reaches eighteen, she will turn him, so she can be his legal guardian forever and inherit the money Will left for him.

Alex and John convince the children she infected to come back to the hotel, but only ends up trapping them in the enclosed hallway where they are confronted by Ramona Royale. Alex and John reconcile and leave the hotel with Holden.

Liz reunites with her son, Douglas Pryor, and convinces him to move out to Boulder to pursue his dream of running his own company and they make amends. Liz and Iris scheme to take over the hotel, starting with shooting up the penthouse with Donovan and The Countess inside.
