Li looks around at the marvelous turnout for the gala. Gabi asks where the prism is, and Li tells her it will be unveiled at the end of the night. Gabi suggests they find Phil. Li agrees, he’s feeling lucky, so they head for the Blackjack tables.
Wendy tells Joey and Tripp that they clean up well. Joey returns the compliment. Wendy hates getting dressed up. The boys admit that when they first found her in the apartment, they thought she was a man, but they definitely wouldn’t make that mistake now. Joey and Tripp briefly argue over who will escort Wendy in, but she says she has two arms, so both of them take one. Joey gets distracted by a D.J., but Tripp reminds him that they’re there to find Steve.
Paul and Andrew get out of an elevator. Andrew will be passing himself off as Harris and asks Paul if he’s sure he wants to do this. Paul thinks John’s kidnapper will be there, so, he’s sure.
Gabi doesn’t think Blackjack is very fun. Li tries to give her some pointers, but she’s not interested. She asks how much money the night costs. Li doesn’t give a specific number but says the investors will more than make up for it when they see what the prisms can do. Gabi reminds him they only have one prism, and even if they find Phil, that’s only two. Li is sure they’ll get them all. Gabi tells him she’d settle for a diamond, and he says she may get that, eventually.
John and Steve walk out of an elevator and look around the corner. They check to make sure their weapons are in their holsters. Steve says they need to get to work.
Wendy beats Joey at Poker. Tripp is anxious that Harris isn’t here yet and might not come. Wendy assures him he will if he’s after the prisms. Tripp is distracted. He has a bad feeling about the night.
Li and Gabi are back at the Blackjack tables, and Gabi is willing to try again. Li warns her not to hit on 19, but it works in her favor, and she gets 21. Wendy, Joey and Tripp walk over. Li is impressed that Wendy’s actually wearing a dress for the first time since she was 7. Wendy didn’t want to get turned away at the door. She introduces Li to her dates. Gabi recognizes them and asks what they’re up to. They tell her they’re looking for their dad. Gabi scoffs that Steve wouldn’t be on the guest list. The boys tell Li and Gabi that Steve has been kidnapped by the same person that’s after the prisms. They think he’s likely to show up. Gabi says they’ll be on the lookout. Li tells them they have good security; they won’t have any uninvited guests.
Steve and John load their guns, then enter the lobby where Marlena and Kayla are talking. They’re relieved to see them and hug their husbands.
John asks what they’re doing here. Marlena and Kayla explain that Paul, Joey and Tripp had told them that he and Steve had been kidnapped, so they came to look for them. Steve says they shouldn’t have come, and Kayla should be with Stephanie. Kayla tells him Stephanie is fine. Marlena asks if Tripp and Joey rescued them. John says they escaped. Kayla’s concerned that they didn’t let them know, but Steve tells her it just happened. Marlena asks how they did it without being hurt. They evade the question, saying Tripp, Joey and Paul are upstairs, so they should go meet them. After sharing a confused look, Kayla and Marlena follow Steve and John.
Andrew wins a roll of the dice. It was beginner’s luck; he’s never played craps before. Paul notices Gabi, and that she’s with Li. He thinks they may know something about Harris.
Andrew says they have a problem. He recognizes Joey and is worried his cover will be blown if Joey recognizes him. His fears are proven correct when Joey and Tripp walk over. Joey asks what he’s doing here. Andrew says he’s doing the same as he is, looking for John and Steve. Wendy joins them, and Andrew asks who she is. Joey explains that she’s Li Shin’s little sister. Wendy tells them that Harris is desperate to get the three prisms. Paul explains that they swiped invitations and Andrew is here impersonating Harris. Tripp wonders what Steve and John have to do with the prisms. Paul thinks they need to talk to Li.
John and Steve lead Marlena and Kayla to an empty hotel room. Kayla asks where the boys are and turns to see that John has a gun pointed at them. He says they lied. Steve grabs Kayla and puts her on the bed. Marlena tries to get through to John, but he says he only takes orders from Megan Hathaway. Marlena thought she was dead.
Li doesn’t understand how Andrew and Paul got in. Andrew flashes his ISA badge. Paul asks about Harris, but neither Gabi nor Li have heard of him. Wendy searched every available database, to which Li calls her a geek. Tripp asks what she found, and she gives them a brief recap about how Harris was a Navy Seal but was discharged and is currently dating Hope. Li says the plot thickens when Gabi reveals that they all know Hope. Paul asks about the prisms. Li plans to unveil the one he has after the dancing. Gabi and Li say that they hope to get the second prism from Phil Hellworth tonight. Andrew tells them that Phil was found dead in a Monte Carlo hotel room. Gabi’s disappointed, but Li shrugs it off.
As romantic music plays, Joey asks Wendy to dance. Wendy says she can’t dance. Joey says it’s lucky for her that he can. Wendy accepts. Paul says they should join everybody in the dance, as they look like they’re having fun. Andrew takes his hand, and they join everyone on the dance floor. Halfway through the song, Tripp asks Joey if he can cut in. He lets him, but watches from nearby.
John has Marlena sit next to Kayla. He and Steve pull out ropes. Marlena asks if they’re about to tie them up. John tells her she should be used to it. He and Steve have a party to get to, and they aren’t invited. They begin tying Marlena and Kayla up.
Li makes a speech at the gala. He informs everyone that they’re about to see a prism that has the power to cure tumors and other seemingly incurable diseases. He unveils it. Paul asks Andrew why nothing is happening. Andrew doesn’t think it will be too long now. Steve and John walk in and draw their guns.
