Vanessa went over to Joey to ask for a favor while Hayley sneaked a drug into her husband, Bill Hamilton's, cocktail after getting it from Randy Parker, her cousin, who assured her that a few doses would cause a heart attack for Bill.

Meanwhile, Ridge Forrester from Forrester Creations called Pamela Curtis and proposed that the two of them could together arrange for a photoshoot of Dani and Andre Richardson to promote Forrester Creations’ new fragrance line.
