Tracy can’t go through with reading the statement that Martin wrote for her to say at the press conference. Cody tells the press that he borrowed Tracy’s car to go get some Ketamine that the vet prescribed for Hades one of the Quartermaine horses who was sick. Cody tells the press that he must have accidently left one of the vials of medicine in Tracy’s car. Cody tells everyone that he is sorry he didn’t come forward sooner but now everyone knows Tracy didn’t drug Drew and Drew didn’t frame Tracy for drugging him. Drew apologizes to Tracy, and she tells the press that Drew took the drugs himself. Drew is so upset, and he feels like everyone is against him.

Kai tells Drew that Curtis is looking for Jacinda and he plans to pay her to say that he bought the ketamine himself and he paid her to party with him. Kai tells Drew he should prepare in case Curtis finds Jacinda.

Tracy later tells Brook Lynn that Michael had the idea for the story which would exonerate both her and Drew.

Carly tries to persuade Michael to let Willow have visitation with the kids as long as Drew isn’t with her when she visits them.

Michael plans to delay the hearing to set visitation as long as possible. Michael tells Carly that, when the hearing date comes, he will make sure Willow doesn’t get visitation with the kids.

Curtis tells Portia that Felicia thinks Jacinda is in Australia.
