Jenny is very distraught to find out that Mrs. Schmitt has passed away. Tim tries to console Jenny and Jenny feels that had she acted quicker on getting the nursing home to have better service that Mrs. Schmitt would be alive. Joe walks in and Jenny asks Joe to write a column about the nursing home. Matt and Dorian discuss that Matt talked Mark into blackmailing Viki for $50,000 or Mark would tell Joe the real reason that Viki does not want to have Joe's child. Dorian is worried that Viki will think Mark received the information from her. Matt assures Dorian that Mark told Viki he did not get the information from Dorian. Larry runs into Joe and they discuss Viki's behavior and that Viki wants she and Joe to adopt a Vietnamese child rather than having their own. Viki is having no luck in obtaining the $50.000 and decides to call Larry for help. Viki meets Larry at home and tells her about Mark blackmailing her and that she cannot come up with the money. Larry asks if she could borrow the money from Victor and Viki says that she would then have to tell Victor that it is possible that Joe's heart condition is hereditary. Larry then tells Viki the only thing she can do is tell Joe the truth about his issue being hereditary, then Mark cannot blackmail her and she can turn Mark into the police. Viki says absolutely not.
