His Brother's Keeper

Es gibt noch ein Opfer der Arsenvergiftung. Karen wird Lotus Point schließen müssen. Greg Sumner hat die Unterstützung von Senator Henderson für die Sanierung des Empire Valley gewonnen. Ben ist enttäuscht von seiner Frau Valene.

Abby wants Karen to take Greg's deal. Gary and Karen try to figure out a way to clean up Empire Valley themselves. They turn to the EPA, Senator Henderson, and even try to get a loan, but nothing works out. Abby tells Gary that Jill's family owned Empire Valley, and that she's only with Gary because she wants Empire Valley back. Later Jill admits to Gary that when she first went out with him, she wanted Empire Valley, but then she fell in love with him. He coolly asks her "Is that it?" Senator Henderson is retiring, and Greg thinks Peter should be the next Senator. The Lotus Point groundskeeper dies of arsenic poisoning, and several people cancel their reservations. Karen decides to close Lotus Point. Val tells Ben that she senses something is wrong, and she'd like to work through it with him. He says he has a lot on his mind. Cathy asks Ben to go on the road with her and be her manager.

Greg promet à Karen d'assainir l'Empire Valley. Pour arriver à ses fins, il manigance de toutes parts, à la grande fureur de Laura. De son côté, Jill souhaite avertir Gary et lui avouer son amour.
