Baths and Showers

Val bekommt von ihrem Verleger ein Angebot: Sie soll eine Biographie über Greg Sumner schreiben. Das Thema würde Val reizen, aber alle sind dagegen. Nur Gary ermutigt sie, den Auftrag anzunehmen. Er schenkt ihr ein Diktiergerät.

Pierce blackmails Mort into giving him information on Greg's business deals. Greg suspects a leak, so Mort tells Pierce he can't risk helping him anymore. Kate's old tennis friend Vanessa shows up and asks to stay with Kate. Claudia wants Alex out, so she tells Greg that he is blackmailing her, and that Ruth was in pain, so she let her die. Greg gives Alex a job so he can keep an eye on him. Alex asks Kate out. Claudia wants him to leave Kate alone, so she sleeps with Alex. Alex goes to pick up Kate, and tells Kate that Vanessa's really good looking. Val's publisher asks her to write a biography of Greg. No one wants her to do it, and Mac and Karen are scared of how it will affect Meg and Paige, but Val decides to go ahead with it.
