Rachel feels uncomfortable withholding the true nature of Cheryl’s clinic visit from David. When he leaves to meet NJ, she looks through the Six Flags photographs again for a particular face, and is relieved when she doesn’t see it. The more she thinks about it, the more she believes David is right about a connection between Merton Pharmaceuticals and the Berg Reproductive Institute. Rachel calls a college friend: Hayden Payne, head of the Payne Group, which owns both Merton Pharmaceuticals and Berg Reproductive.

Meanwhile, David meets Skunk Kyle in his old neighborhood. Before he can ask questions, Kyle punches him. The fight is interrupted by police, and David is knocked unconscious.

David finds himself being taken to Nicky Fisher in Florida. Believing the Fishers set him up, he asks Nicky what he did to Matthew. Nicky says he never hurts children, and blames David’s father Lenny for putting his son Mikey in prison. When Mikey was arrested for murder, Nicky stole evidence and intimidated witnesses. However, Lenny and his partner planted false evidence, and Mikey was convicted. Nicky arranged for a judge to overturn the conviction, but Mikey started a fight in prison and was killed.
