Jack warned Liza that the picture wasn't admissible in court because Kendall hadn't acted on the thought. Caleb enlisted Asher and Bianca's help to reenact David's shooting.

Natalia confessed to Brot that she was a virgin before they made love for the first time.

Liza decided to drop the charges against Erica, for shooting David, after a talk with Tad. The National Transportation Safety Board ruled that Zach's plane crash had been a result of a malfunctioning fuel selector valve. Later, the NTSB agent called a mystery person to report that the investigation into Zach's plane crash had been closed and that no one, including Ryan, would be looking into it anymore.

January 24 to 28, 2011
Liza set up an internship and admission to a pre-law program for Damon in California. Liza wanted the offer to remain anonymous, so Tad gave Damon the acceptance confirmation from UC Davis. Damon was stunned by the opportunity and his father's unconditional support. Damon decided to grab the chance to pursue his dreams. Asher overheard a revealing conversation between Damon and Liza. David realized that Greenlee and Ryan were engaged. Greenlee hoped that she and David could be civilized and asked him to end their marriage amicably.

Jackson was hurt that Erica hadn't trusted him with the truth sooner. Caleb decided to call in a favor to get Jackson reinstated as a practicing attorney. JR questioned Annie after he found Marissa's stolen things in Annie's room. Annie explained that she had staged the break-in because she feared that no one would believe that she hadn't intentionally hurt Marissa. Annie was stunned when JR revealed that he, not Marissa, had been the one to call Dr. Burke. JR told Annie that he loved her and that he wanted Annie to talk to Dr. Burke for the sake of their relationship.

Colby found herself handcuffed to a table after a brief struggle with Annie. Annie's mind continued to unravel as she drove back to the mansion. Kendall collapsed during a visit with David in jail. Kendall was diagnosed with an aortic aneurysm, which required immediate surgery. Griffin feared that Kendall wouldn't survive the surgery because of her frame of mind. Kendall became distraught when she suddenly recalled shooting David. Kendall was determined to talk to her mother before the surgery, so Kendall left the hospital.

Tad was stunned when JR realized that Annie had been driving the car at the time of the accident. Asher quickly figured out that Colby had been stashed at the cottage, so he raced to her rescue. Asher and Colby called JR to let JR know what Annie had done. Tad had commitment papers drawn up for Annie, but JR wanted to handle things his own way.

Colby was deeply hurt when Liza confessed that she had slept with Damon. Colby disowned her mother and then tossed Liza out of the mansion. Opal and Krystal were dumbfounded when Tad announced his engagement to Cara. Tad explained the situation with Cara's immigration status and then confessed that he felt obligated to help her because Cara had once saved Jake's life. Amanda revealed to Jake that she had reported Cara to the authorities. Jake was livid that Amanda had endangered Cara's life because of jealousy. Amanda reminded Jake that she had no idea how much trouble Cara had been in because Jake hadn't confided anything to her. Kendall was surprised when Ryan admitted that he had hired someone to investigate Zach's plane crash. Ryan's investigator had found a box with Zach's initials on it that the FBI had missed, so Ryan arranged for the box to be delivered to Kendall. Kendall was shocked to find a letter from Zach in the box that read, "In the event of my untimely death." Ricky managed to divert Kendall long enough to replace the last page of Zach's letter with a page that Ricky had quickly composed.

Bianca realized that her split from Reese would not be amicable. Madison felt the baby kick for the first time.

Cara gave Jake her wedding ring that she had kept on a chain. Kendall had doubts about the authenticity of Zach's letter because of the use of an odd term of endearment that Zach had disliked.

Colby promised the people who had viewed her blog that she would continue to call out anyone in her life who wronged her.

Griffin feared that Zach's casino partners were involved in Zach's death and that Kendall might be in danger. Griffin decided to investigate the casino partners.

Erica was unsettled that her kidnapper knew so much personal information about her life. Ricky stepped up his game to get closer to Kendall and to eliminate Griffin as a threat. Kendall realized that Ricky was not who he seemed to be when he reassured her with the endearment of "sweetheart," which had been used in Zach's letter. Kendall was stunned when she found the original letter that Zach had sent to her and a flash drive in the yacht that she had once shared with Zach. Kendall showed Ryan what she had found and then confessed that she suspected that Ricky might have murdered Zach. Kendall decided to drop her sons off at Wildwind, to stay with Bianca, so that she and Ryan could uncover proof of Ricky's wrongdoing.

Jesse didn't trust David, but Angie insisted that she was willing to take the risk if it meant that she had a chance to see again. Scott was turned down for a promotion because of his criminal record.
April 25 to 29, 2011
The identity of Erica's captor remained a mystery, but Erica suspected that Krystal was behind the kidnapping.

Bianca was inspired to persuade Jackson to record a special message to Erica.

Erica sent her captor to the penthouse to fetch a book that, unbeknownst to her captor, had a secret compartment with a phone in it.

David took delight in revealing to Ryan and Scott that he had told Madison about Greenlee and Scott's agreement for Scott to keep Madison away from Ryan.

Jane recalled having plastic surgery to look like Erica. Jane's odd behavior as Erica raised a few eyebrows, but Jane managed to cover her mistakes. Meanwhile, the real Erica tried to bribe her guard to release her from captivity. Erica was curious if Jane had people in her life who would notice Jane missing.

Ryan declined Greenlee's offer to help with Sara's funeral arrangements. David claimed that he was the only man who could fully appreciate Greenlee. Erica tried to befriend the thug that Jane had assigned to guard Erica. Erica was shaken when the thug revealed that he had hurt Erica in more way than she could imagine.
