The Thirteen withdraws fifty billion dollars- their net worth- out of the stock market and the Dow Jones average plummets. They plan to buy back devalued stocks under one of the companies Richard Channing has bought with their assistance, implicating him in their plot. Angela receives her subpoena to testify against her son in front of the Senate Select Committee. Emma is dying to ruin her brother but hasn't received a subpoena. Angela dreads having her family's affairs publicized. Maggie packs up the car and the kids and gets a flat tire shortly after leaving Falcon Crest. A police car appears to assist her, but it's driven by a decoy for The Thirteen. Maggie's spare tire is missing. The cop calls for a tow truck and checks in with Rosemont. Garth finds Maggie's car, abandoned, just as Rosemont drops into Richard's office at The New Globe to offer him yet another deal: testify our way and spend the rest of your life on Easy Street. Maggie eventually calls Richard, and he reveals his conviction to expose The Thirteen without immunity. "I've been down this road before," Dan Fixx tells Melissa as she tries to explain her relationship with Lance and how she can't seem to ever say good-bye to him completely. "See you around," says the spurned boyfriend. Lance and Melissa visit a stagecoach museum. Looking through some of the old Wells Fargo books, they discover that the coach that carried the strongbox that contains contains Melissa's treasure passed through Hobart, Uncle Frank's ghost town. Back at Falcon Crest, Chao-Li, Angela, and Lance are glued to the TV for the hearings. Rosemont pays the grape queen a visit, offering a seat with The Thirteen if she agrees to malign her son at the hearings. Angela is so incensed that Mr. Rosemont should woo her to fight Richard that she decides to play his game and get even. Vickie comes across a key to a room at the Del Oro spa and decides to investigate. The key opens the door of a suite. Inside, her husband and Madame Malec are attached at the lips. Vickie flees. Later, Madame tells Eric to run along now and await further instructions from The Thirteen. Eric leaves and Rosemont steps out of the closet. Madame is having such a good time with the Stavros boy that she's ready for another assignment. Rosemont has one in mind. Angela arrives at the hearings, having just formulated a plan with Richard to trap Rosemont at his own game. She shows expected contempt for her son, launching into a story of how Rosemont told her of Richard's plan to destroy the American economy. "She's lying!" Richard shouts. Richard tries to discredit his mother to the committee. Later, Richard and Angela clink glasses to toast her performance. Then Angela gets a phone call. Frank is out of his coma.
