Remy told Harley that Phillip was in New York, and she headed out there. Olivia told Gus and Natalia that the ballroom was under repair. They decided to cancel the wedding and elope. Harley collapsed while searching for Phillip, and Cyrus came to her rescue. They began to make love, but Harley stopped because she didn't want to hurt Marina. When she returned to Springfield, she went to see Cyrus and tell him she had changed her mind, only to find out that he had proposed to Marina (because of the supposed calls Marina was receiving from immigration). Natalia and Gus headed to Bauer Cabin on their way to Chicago to elope, only to be called back by an ailing Olivia at the hospital. Lizzie continued to help Bill, but was shocked to walk in on him and Ava in bed together. She sought comfort in Reva. Coop confessed to Buzz about the explosion as he and Ashlee planned to run away.

Alan continued to plan a memorial service for Sarah, and invited Rick and Beth to attend both the memorial service and a trip to St. Gabriel. Rick accepted, much to Beth's surprise. Later, Alan called Dr. Grant to make sure Rick would be on call. Lizzie told Bill she was pregnant. At first, he pushed her away and said he wasn't ready, but then warmed to the idea. Bill got his vision back and saw Jonathan peering in a church window after a memorial service for Tammy. Unfortunately, Lizzie found out she was not pregnant, but decided to keep the information from Bill. They planned a weekend away at Bauer Cabin. Lizzie almost walked in on Jonathan and Sarah, but Reva distracted her while they snuck out.

Lizzie struggled with her decision to testify against Alan, and, instead, ignored Jeffrey's calls. Jeffrey postponed the wedding again. Josh thanked Jeffrey for giving him more time to win back Reva. Rafe returned to Springfield. He decided he loved Daisy and wanted to be with her, but Daisy wanted to be with Grady. Rafe went to see Natalia. Natalia called Mallet to turn Rafe in.

SEPTEMBER 2008
September 1 to 5, 2008
Bill stopped Alan from attending the meeting with Blackthorn Group. Lizzie attended the meeting instead, and took ownership of 49% of Maximus. Bill and Lizzie flew Alan back to Springfield. Rick told them that Alan needed surgery. Alan refused surgery because he did not want to lose his visions of Gus. He told Lizzie she was the future of Spaulding. There was a flurry of activity as Jeffrey, Buzz, and the Coopers prepared for Jeffrey and Reva's wedding. Reva told Jeffrey that her cancer might be back, and that he could call off the wedding if he wanted. Jeffrey told Reva that he loved her and would stand by her. The two were married. When they went to the doctor the next day, they found out that Reva did not have cancer. The doctor told her that she was pregnant. Jeffrey and Reva were shocked and worried, as there was a higher risk of birth defects, as well as a chance her cancer could return. Harley called Buzz to say that she would be staying in Greece because she met someone. Cassie overheard this and told Cyrus. Cyrus walked away angry, but came to see Cassie later and kissed her.
September 8 to 12, 2008
Grady vandalized the outside of Harley's house after he found out that Harley was not coming back. Grady called 9-1-1 to report trouble at the house, and sliced open his arm while he waited for the police to arrive. Daisy, who was on her way to see Rafe, rushed to the hospital instead. As Daisy and Grady were about to leave, Cassie showed up and told Daisy that Grady had turned Rafe in. Daisy decided it was over with Grady. Marina and Mallet prepared Harley's house to go on the market. Alan agreed to have surgery to remove the blood clot from his brain. Alan admitted to Bill, while under sedation, that he had made a deal with Dinah to take the company back. In a fit of anger, Bill threw Dinah out of the house. Dinah went to find Cyrus to see if he wanted to be her partner again. She found Grady instead, and decided he would do. Lizzie arrived at the mansion with movers to announce that a mistake had been made on the foreclosure, and the Spauldings still owned the mansion. Bill discovered that the company owned the property the mansion sat on, which meant that he owned the land, and she owned the house. As a result, both would live together, but in separate rooms. When Reva and Jeffrey were honest with each other, they admitted that they wanted the baby. Excitedly, they decided the baby was worth any risk.
September 15 to 19, 2008
Reva and Jeffrey went to her first prenatal appointment. The doctor gave Reva many restrictions, including no flying. The newlyweds decided to take a road trip for their honeymoon. Josh contacted Reva to say that Shane was missing in Afghanistan. Reva was going to ignore the doctor's orders and go to Kabul. However, Josh called to say that Shane had been found and was fine. Grady disguised himself and attacked Bill. Dinah was upset that Grady did that to Bill, but still wanted to find a way to get back at Bill for throwing her out of the house. Cyrus broke into Cassie's neighbor's house and stole the stereo because the noise was keeping Cassie up at night. Frank arrested Cyrus after he found a witness to the crime who later refused to identify Cyrus because Grady threatened him. Cyrus was released. Ava was released from the clinic, but decided not to return to Springfield. Olivia blamed Remy for it, but later decided to work with him and Jeffrey to try to bring Ava home. Alan remained in a coma. His condition worsened when Bill went to see him. Bill was angry, and demanded Alan wake up. As Bill ranted at Alan, alarms started going off.
September 22 to 26, 2008
Frank offered Natalia a job at Company because she was thinking of working at a strip club. Natalia went to her lawyer, Russo, and asked if she could help in the office to cover her fees. He wanted to come up with another arrangement. As he started to kiss her, Olivia walked in and told Russo to keep his hands off Natalia. Natalia was angry with Olivia because the interruption meant she had to get a public defender for Rafe. Olivia became the new face of Galaxy Hotels. She continued to struggle for breath. Bill met with Decker to try to seal the deal without Lizzie. He told Decker that Lizzie was unable to meet because of family problems. Decker said no deal without Lizzie. Lizzie called Decker during the meeting, not knowing Bill was right there. Decker started a bidding war between the two. Later, when Lizzie and Bill were together at the hospital, Dinah met with Decker and advised against the deal with Spaulding-Lewis. In Dinah's presence, Decker called Lizzie and Bill simultaneously and told them they had bid against each other. Bill and Lizzie kissed. Dinah came up with a new plan for Grady -- she wanted him to break up Bill and Lizzie. Daisy asked Doris if she could be on the task force to help bring in delinquent teens. In return, Daisy wanted Rafe's trial date moved up. Doris agreed, and sent her to work with Marina. Marina did not want Daisy to help. When Marina was away from her desk, Daisy stole a file on Trey Palmer. She went to Towers to meet Trey, and he took her to a seedy hotel room. Trey caught Daisy taking pictures of his drugs, and took her to the basement of the hotel. He found his file in her purse. Marina and Mallet burst into the room. Trey pulled out a gun and placed Daisy in front of him while Mallet pulled Marina behind him.
September 29 to October 3, 2008
Mel and Remy told their parents that they didn't want to live in Harley's house. Clayton told Remy he would let him make his own choices about medical school. Remy decided to apply for the MCAT. During the standoff with Trey, Mallet told Marina he loved her. Daisy freed herself from Trey when she stabbed him in the leg with Grady's key. Josh called Cassie because border patrol would not allow him back in the country. Cassie asked Cyrus to help her sneak into a reception for an ambassador so she could ask the ambassador to help Josh. Dinah sent Grady to try to pick up Lizzie. Lizzie and Bill tried to make each other jealous with Grady and Susie. Bill told Grady he was Lizzie's pet. Later, Grady told Dinah he wasn't anyone's pet, and kissed her. Alan was released from the hospital. He pretended to be an invalid while he formulated his next plan. Later, Alan interrupted the meeting between Bill, Lizzie, and Decker, and closed the deal with Lizzie's help. Rafe got his court date, but decided to take a plea deal instead.

Cassie and Cyrus were allowed to speak to the ambassador about Josh. The ambassador tried to hit on Cassie, but after Cyrus threatened him, he backed off and agreed to help Josh. During her first photo shoot, Olivia became very short of breath, and needed a break. She went into a room and collapsed. Natalia found Olivia. Natalia decided to put on one of Olivia's jackets and tell the photographer and Decker that she was Olivia's assistant. Later, Olivia thanked her and offered Natalia work as her real assistant. Decker asked Olivia to tour China, but when Olivia became ill, she and Natalia pitched the idea of a video conference from Emma's school instead. Decker loved the thought of a campaign with family values. Natalia snuck Olivia out of the hotel and took her to the hospital. Vanessa and Billy moved into the mansion. Bill and Lizzie prepared for the presentation with Decker; however, shortly before they were set to start, Lizzie disappeared. She was kidnapped by Grady.

Jeffrey decided that since Josh had taken off his collar, they both could take off the gloves.
October 27 to 31, 2008
Dinah met up with Grady again and promised to pay him off. After a heart-to-heart talk with Mallet, she instead placed a disposable phone near Lizzie and set it to call Bill. The police couldn't trace Lizzie's call, but a drunken Bill later discovered a white van, which leaked power steering fluid. Bill followed the fluid trail to the hostage site and fought a masked Grady. Bill rescued Lizzie but then crashed the van during their escape. After arguing with Grady, Daisy happened upon the wreckage and called the paramedics. Lizzie sustained superficial injuries, but Bill required surgery.

Olivia appealed to the governor to have Rafe transferred to a better prison. In return, the governor wanted Gus's real estate property. Lizzie kept vigil at Bill's beside, ignoring Alan's pleas that she attend to business. After the company's stock dipped, she held a press conference to reassure investors. Grady confessed to Alan that he'd kidnapped Lizzie. When Grady proposed that he and Alan frame Bill for it, Alan bound and gagged Grady in Lizzie's room. Alan had been about to turn Grady in until Beth entered the parlor, ranting that Alan had to accept Bill as Lizzie's hero. Alan untied Grady and agreed to the plan. A guilt-ridden Dinah decided to leave Springfield to find Bill a specialist. Mallet and Marina clashed over Dinah. Before leaving town, Dinah promised Mallet that she wouldn't be an obstacle in his relationship.

Natalia reluctantly sold Gus's house to the governor, and Rafe was transferred to a better prison. Olivia and Natalia treated Decker and his investors to a home-cooked meal. Remy scored well on the MCAT, but Christina did poorly. Despite Ashlee's protests, Daisy reunited with Grady.

After a drunken night gambling, their witnesses, Remy and Christina, woke up married instead. Reva learned that she might have leukemia. Dr. Alcott advised her to terminate her pregnancy, but Reva insisted on carrying her baby to term. Lillian knew Alcott, and she advised Jeffrey to seek a second opinion. Cyrus failed to talk Alan and Grady out of framing Bill. Lizzie found a jacket similar to the kidnapper's in Bill's room. Before she could destroy it, Frank confiscated it. Since Frank hadn't presented a search warrant, Lizzie sought to have the jacket evidence suppressed. Lizzie accused Alan of setting Bill up, but Alan threw her off his trail by claiming to falsely confess to the kidnapping for her benefit. Ashlee's interview of Rafe didn't sour Daisy's feelings for Grady. Ashlee set out to frame Grady as her assailant, but when a stranger assaulted her for real, Grady rescued her. Olivia chided Natalia for hoarding her money instead of investing in the farmhouse, but she was speechless when Natalia dumped her life's savings into Decker's high-risk hedge fund.
November 24 to 28, 2008
For Lizzie's sake, Alan reluctantly persuaded Doris Wolfe to allow her to testify before the grand jury in the kidnapping case.

DECEMBER 2008
December 1 to 5, 2008
Grady boasted to Cyrus about somehow inflicting a wound upon an unconscious Bill. When Bill regained consciousness, Lizzie discovered a fresh scar on his chest that reminded her of injuring her abductor. Sensing a setup, she hired Cyrus to investigate. While travelling in Germany, Dinah called Mallet, who announced his wedding and Bill's indictment. She met Shayne Lewis while he rehabilitated at a military infirmary, but Shayne gave her a fake name. She confided in him about the kidnapping and her desire to return home to help Bill. After a call to Reva, Shayne decided to return to Springfield, too. Once Buzz blabbed Beth's secret to Lillian, Coop informed Buzz that he was Beth's secret lover.

Dinah warned Alan and Grady that they wouldn't succeed in framing Bill. While Grady hid his scar with a tattoo, Cyrus blackmailed Alan to keep his secret. Reva delayed telling Shayne about the cancer resurgence when she saw him in a wheelchair. When Bill overheard Lizzie expressing guilt for doubting him, he hoped that cooperating with the police would vindicate him. After his statement contradicted other evidence, Mel vowed to suppress it. Hoping to push Remy and Christina closer, Mel abandoned their divorce case, leaving them to legally handle the divorce themselves. Remy and Christina bonded while visiting her ailing grandmother. Christina discovered that a grant she wanted required her to be married. After Olivia resigned, Decker reneged on his end of the deal-until Olivia threatened to sue him for firing her. Olivia handed Natalia a hefty check, and Natalia deduced that Olivia had sacrificed her career to get the money back. Frank set up a Christmas tree drive to benefit Rafe's defense fund, and he arranged for Rafe to work at it through the prison labor program. Beth accidentally spent an entire night with Coop after an argument with Alan.
December 15 to 19, 2008
Ava stunned Remy by arriving on his doorstep to ask him to travel to San Francisco with her. As Remy wrestled with his decision, Christina overheard Ava tell Olivia that the only thing holding Remy back from the trip was work. Christina told Remy that she busy for the holidays, and she tossed his Christmas gift into the trash. Natalia purchased the farmhouse after Olivia agreed to rent a room from her. Upon moving in, the women clashed over the décor. Once Ashlee persuaded Doris to hire Grady, Doris quickly discovered that his shady talents could be useful. Daisy agreed to move in with Grady after she feuded with Mallet and Marina. Bill confided in Dinah that he couldn't remember the events surrounding the kidnapping. Bill hid the detail from Lizzie.

Later, Shayne parked his car on the train tracks and awaited the oncoming train.
December 22 to 26, 2008
Even though Dinah and Shayne claimed that the kiss they shared meant nothing, Dinah accepted Shayne's invitation to accompany him to Reva's holiday party and then on to Europe afterward. Jeffrey flagged Shayne's passport, ending their plans to leave Springfield. As Bill fixated on proving that Alan was the real kidnapper, Dinah pressured Cyrus to take action. Since she didn't trust Cyrus' plan to steal evidence from a police storage unit, she convinced Shayne to help her torch the storage unit instead. Upon discovering that Doris was inside the blazing unit, Shayne rescued her while Dinah discretely called emergency services. Olivia and Natalia clashed over décor and religion, and Olivia decided to return to the Beacon after the holidays. Emma ran away from home after overhearing her mother's decision, but Frank quickly alerted Olivia to Emma's whereabouts. Desiring to give Emma a stable environment, the women recommitted to living together. When Remy told Ava about Christina, Ava rescinded his invitation to go to San Francisco with her. Ava concluded that she and Remy had moved on with their lives, and she bid him a poignant goodbye. Buzz lectured Coop about his brazen attempts to persuade Beth to sneak out of town with him. Beth had waffled about the trip, but after reading excerpts from Coop's novel, she agreed to go. Beth gave Alan her final decision to attend the "law conference," and Alan unexpectedly invited himself, James, and Peyton along on her trip.
December 29, 2008 to January 2, 2009
Doris awarded Shayne a medal for rescuing her from the fire, but Shayne tossed it into the lake. He protested hanging out with Dinah on New Year's Eve, but she still wound up in his lap for a kiss just twelve seconds before the new year. After Coop learned that a conflicted Beth had received a marriage proposal from Alan, Coop assumed their affair was over. Beth drugged Alan with sleeping pills in order to sneak off with Coop, but upon seeing Coop inside Company with Ashlee, Beth second-guessed her involvement with a younger man. Doris hinted to Grady that Ashlee liked him and then hinted to Ashlee that Grady liked her. Ashlee offered Daisy and Grady the spare room at her place. Olivia ordered all of Natalia's favorites from Company to console Natalia after Natalia shared that Rafe's new lawyer had been unsuccessful in appealing Rafe's case. Olivia then asked Frank to be Natalia's surprise date at the dinner for two. After being treated like the town pariah on New Year's Eve, Alan vowed to Alex that he would once again be feared in Springfield. Bill guessed that Dinah had set the evidence fire, and as he thanked her; he said that Doris hadn't enough evidence to prove the fire had been arson. Lizzie returned home in time to attend Bill's court case dismissal. When Lizzie suggested that Bill hold a press conference to publicly vindicate himself, Bill revealed that he couldn't remember whether or not he really had kidnapped her.
