Francis and Alex have team up for revenge against the Wong brothers. They are very upset with the Wong brothers and after hearing about Simon's death they don't want the Wong brothers to become even more powerful in the Triad world. Since Simon was dead and Leon was out of the triad the Wong brothers would become very powerful. They knew the girls would be at the hospital and decided to capture Kristy or Ada to kill Louis.
Ada walked out of the room to buy something to eat for Stephen and Nic because they've been there all night. Kristy realizes Ada forgot her purse and runs after her. Francis and Alex's men arrive blocking Kristy's way since they missed Ada who already passed them and entered the elevator to go to the kitchen on another floor.
Kristy tries to run but cannot go anywhere since they surrounded her. She screams to notify Nic and Stephen who runs out but not in time before they snatch her away. They tried shooting at the men but it didnt help. They got away with her.
Ada returns minutes later and alarmed with Kristy's disappearance. She calls Louis who rushes to her side. "Don't worry." Louis comforts her. "We'll save her." He is sure of it. Ada nods her head. Louis embraces her and can feel her trembling. He pulled her tighter to him. "Everything will be okay." He tells her.
They received a phone call from Francis and Alex to meet up at the top of the Eiffel Tower in the Paris hotel that belonged to Francis. Louis and Ada rushes there advising Nick and Stephen to look after Joey incase it was a trick to get Joey too. They agree.
When they arrived Alex and Francis hold Kristy hostage. They tell Louis if he kills himself they'll let Kristy go. Kristy begs him not to do it.
"How do I know you won't go back on your words?" Louis questions.
"We're not Simon." Alex tells him. "I just want my revenge on you for what you did to me." He yells.
"We weren't part of Simon's fuckin plan but you fuckin attacked us ruining my arm!" Francis shouts angrily.
Louis takes a deep breath. "I trust you will let them both go." He said looking at Ada also.
Ada shook her head. "You can't die. You need to take care of me and Kristy." She says.
"I just want you and Kristy to be safe." He tells her. "And..." he apused for a moment before holding her hand tightly. "I want you to know you've always been the only one I loved. I only cared about Kristy because she's your sister and I had something with her in the past." He says holding Ada's hand and kisses it tenderly.
"I know." Ada says fully understanding how he feels. "But promise me, you'll always care for Kristy." Ada asks. Louis nods holding her hands tightly.
"Stop this nonsense! If you're going to fucking kill yourself do it now!" Francis sneers.
Louis takes out his gun and aims at his head. Ada looks at him disbelievingly as she shakes her head. "NO!" she yells pulling the gun away from his head. "I can't see you do this!"? She turns to Francis and Alex. "How about I kill myself?" she pleads.
"What the hell do we want with your fuckin head?" Francis sneers.
"Hurry I'm losing my patience." Alex says pushing Kristy's head down holding the gun to her head.
Louis quickly aims the gun back up again. Ada closes her eyes and screams as she hears the gun shot. But Ada also hears Alex screaming. She opens her eyes to see Louis didn't shoot himself yet and Ekin behind him with a gun aimed at Alex. Relief consumes her.
Even though Alex has fallen to the floor he tries to stand back up and shoot Ekin but some of Ekin's men come from behind shooting him. Alex grabs Kristy even though he's terribly injured. Blood is dripping off him like a leaking faucet. Francis has already made a run away.
Ada wasn't watching so Francis came from behind and twisted her arm back holding her hostage too. The two men were now coming back to back of each other using the two girls as hostages.
Francis and Alex's men battle with Ekin's men. Everyone is shooting frantically. Some of Francis's men are down, other of Alex's are injured. Ekin's men are not doing that well either. After weeks of battling and shooting it was impossible to stay healthy.
"Fuckin assholes!" Francis snickered. "Move away or the bitches get it!" he yelled.
Alex was weakening but he still had some strength to hold onto Kristy. "Back up!" he yelled holding the gun at Kristy.
Nicky appears suddenly which makes Ekin suspicious. Alex looks at him. "Dam traitor!" he screams. "What the hell do you want!" he questions.
Nicky wasn't sent by Leon or Nnadia. He had a better life following Alex so he was hoping to gain Alex's trust back. Leon never trusted him and even beat him for trying to rape Ada the other night before he threw her onto Simon's hideout for Simon to take hostage. That wasn't part of Nnadia's plan it was something Leon did without her consent because she would have never approved it. But he knew he had to so the plan would work to their advantage.
Nicky smiled and replied, "Just here to help the old boss." He says. "I have a car for you out front."
Francis and Alex look at each other. "I don't trust him!" Alex says and immediately shots Nicky. He wasn't prepared for it and didn't expect it so he was shot in both legs by Francis and Alex. He fell to his knees.
Ada suddenly had the urge to kill Nicky. She hated him the way Kristy hated Kevin. She abruptly pulled Francis's gun from him, which Francis didn't prepare for so she successfully got it and shot Nicky in the head just like Kristy had done with Kevin.
Louis looked at her stunned like he was when Kristy killed Kevin. They were definitely sisters he thought to himself and took this opportunity to kill Francis. But Francis had a loyal follower that pushed him out of the way. Francis took the follower's gun and aimed at Louis.
Kristy struggled and got free from Alex. She noticed Francis's aim at Louis and ran in to block. Ada pushed Kristy out of the way and was shot five times by Francis in the back. Louis's eyes widen as blood came out of Ada's mouth. She fell against Louis. He was alarmed. "No Ada! You can't die! You have to live for me!" he shouted.
Ada didn't respond, she was unconscious. He tried to hold onto her body as he was angry going after Francis crazily without thinking of anything but revenge for Ada.
Kristy stood up trying to help Louis hold Ada's body. She started crying and screaming. "Fun Jei Jei! You can't leave me!" she yelled. The blood around Ada was devastating.
Louis couldn't get too far holding onto Ada's body so he laid her down with Kristy. Kristy hugged tightly to Ada. "Wake up!" she yelled placing her fingers on Ada's nostrils. She could still feel light breathing and was relieved, at least Ada wasn't dead.
Ekin ran over to Kristy and Ada. He was protecting them because he promised Nnadia he'd take care of her sisters. He couldn't deny how much he loved Nnadia.
Marco arrives with a small police force. Ekin looks around and thinks that Frankie sent them but to his astonishment the police force turns on him and Louis. It was now only him and Louis with about 10 of their men still able to fight. Louis and Ekin back up together. They looked around, the game seemed hopeless. Louis is holding Ada close to him not letting her go. But she had lost so much blood and is unconscious.

Meanwhile Jerry has located Stephen. Jerry knows Ekin and Louis are trying to save Ada and Kristy so he is anxious questioning Stephen. Who knows what kind of trap they are falling into. "Stephen I need to know the truth about who planned the attack on Jordan's mansion." Jerry asked eagerly.
Stephen takes a deep sigh and replies, "The man behind everything is Leon Lai. He successfully bribed or blackmailed Nicky, Chris, Marco, and Steven Ma (Nnadia's fake boyfriend). He was even able to win over Shi Qi and me myself."
"Why did he need Shu-Qi?" Jerry asked confused.
"Shu-Qi pretended to be the other woman Steven was dating to get Ekin feeling more sympathy and affection for Nadia." Stephen guessed. That's what it seemed like according to what he saw come out of the plan.
"Was Nnadia also part of the plan?" Jerry asked.
"I don't know." He replied. "She's dead now so why don't we just let her rest in peace." He said thinking of Nnadia as Joey's older sister so he didn't want to disrespect her by framing her since he really didn't know
"Okay that's all I need to know." He said and hung up the phone to contact Ekin.

Now back at the Eiffel Tower at Paris Hotel, Francis and Alex didn't have a hostage so they tried to make an escape. Ekin gave Kristy a loaded gun to protect herself and jumped back into the shooting.
He rolled across the room and took cover then shot at Francis and Alex. He got Francis's abdomen but missed Alex. Marco then joined them giving them the upper hand. Ekin and Louis were losing tremendously fast. Louis and Ekin did their best but now they were shot down. Ekin was shot in the leg and upper right arm. Louis was shot in the lower abdomen and left arm.
Surprisingly, Kristy shot her gun four times which instantaneously killed off Alex. He wasn't prepared for her attack because he didn't know she had a gun. He died instantly which left Francis and Marco.
Marco wasn't sent by Leon or Nnadia either. Since helping Leon didn't get him Annie like he wanted he was convinced by Francis and Alex that if he helped them kill off the Wong brothers they'd help him get Annie and kill Frankie. But from the looks of things that wasn't going to happen.
Kristy was out of ammunition and the only thing coming out of her gun was a clicking noise. Marco leaped over towards her and grabbed her. Kristy couldn't run because she couldn't drag Ada's body with her.
"Move or the bitch gets it!" Marco commanded.
Most of the other men are either injured or dead. The ones alive are in too much pain to move. The place is a bloody mess. Francis limps over to Marco's side hoping to get out too. Ekin and Louis are forced to move aside. They stare ready for an opportunity but Marco is smarter than that.
"Throw your guns over here!" Marco shouts.
Ekin and Louis look at each other with no choice but to do what Marco said. Just when they were about to throw their weapons over to Francis and Marco, Kristy decides to risk everything including her life. She didn't want them getting away because it would mean more trouble for the Wongs later on. This was the best time to get rid of them. She flinches and runs from him. Marco immediately shots her and luckily for him the bullet hits her right in the heart.
Ekin and Louis each take action shooting crazily at Marco and Francis. They die instantly. But Louis is so angry that he continues shooting them even though they're dead. He's upset about them shooting Ada and Kristy. An incredible amount of blood is in a puddle around theses men's bodies in a crimson red color.
Ekin stops him. "Let's get the girls to the hospital!" he advises.
Ekin rushes over to Kristy's side. "You're going to be okay!" he screams pulling her up.
Kristy manages a reluctant smile. Louis carries Ada's body over to Kristy. "You'll both be fine." He advises her.
As they each carry a sister rushing out of the hotel to the hospital, they leave many people in shock. It wasn't everyday people saw two men carrying two bloody women out of the closed Eiffel Tower exhibit.

Las Vegas General Hospital
During this time Annie wakes up from her coma. Frankie is besides her and happy that she's awake. He rushes over to help her sit up. She pushes him away and stares blankly at him. She's still a little weak but because Frankie has helped moved her muscles the past week she's able to move without much difficulty.
"I know you're still mad at me but let's just get through this together." He says in a comforting tone.
"Who are you?"? Annie asks sternly.
"I'm Frankie Lam your boyfriend." He replies stunned that she asked him such a question.
"I don't know you!" She yells. "You can't be my boyfriend, I don't have a boyfriend."
"Are you playing another trick on me?" he asked nervously hoping she would say yes as he came closer to her.
"Get out of my room or I'll call the cops!" she yelled afraid that he would harm her.
"I am a cop!" he said trying to show her his badge. She refused to look at it and shoved him away screaming. Nurses rushes in and dragged him out.
"What's wrong with my girlfriend!" he asked furiously stomping into the doctor's office.
The doctor looked at him and went through Annie's files. "She had a minor head concussion during the accident."
"How is it possible for her to forget who I am!" Frankie shouts angrily.
"I'm sure the accident or events that took place were things she didn't want to remember so her mind has probably blocked everything out." The doctor concluded.
"How can I get her to remember everything?" Frankie asked angrily.
"You need to give her time." The doctor replied. "Let her slowly remember you. Take her to familiar places and show her familiar things."
Frankie stared at the doctor and looked away. "Dam it!" he yelled pounding the table. "She won't even see me!" he shouted.
"I know how you feel but you must take precaution dealing with memory loss. Don't force too much on her at once." The doctor advised.
Frankie take a deep breath, "Thanks!" he says in a rather sarcastic tone as he leaves the office to look for Annie. He has his own plans to get Annie to remember him. He knows Annie well enough to know she doesn't respond well to people who treat her like queen of the world.
"Give her time!" Frankie said under his breath. "That won't help." He replied still upset.
He comes back into the room and Annie is asleep. He decides not to wake her. He can be sweet even though he's usually very rough with her. He tiptoes over to her bedside trying not to wake her and notices how cute she is when she sleeps. He leans in to kiss her cheeks but gets smacked in the face then kicked across the room.
The only reason Annie was able to kick him that far was because he didn't expect it and actually fell across the hospital service table. He fell to the floor and looked up to see her climbing off her bed.
"Be careful! You just got better! Don't go hurting yourself again!" he yelled.
"How dare you come in here to violate me!" she screams jumping on him to attack him.
Frankie tries to balance her on top of him because he doesn't want her falling off and getting hurt anymore than she already was. Annie on the other hand was determined to beat this man she didn't recognize who tried to kiss her when she was sleeping.
After a brief moment of wrestling with him he picked her up and dropped her on the bed and held her down with one hand as he reached into his back pocket. Annie was still weak from the accident so she didn't really hurt Frankie at all.
"Whatever you're taking out, leave it in there! I don't want it!" she screamed thinking it was a condom or date rape pill since the only memory she had was living a wild and crazy life.
The nurses came in again. Frankie had his wallet in his hands now and showed them his badge. "Police business. Please leave." he said.
They were reluctant but they left thinking it might actually be police business. He turned his attention on Annie again. He showed her his wallet but Annie closed her eyes. "Open them!" he ordered her. Annie shook her head refusing not knowing what he was showing her. "Open them dam it!" he ordered again.
Annie opened them since he scared her and saw a picture of him and her where she was behind him hugging him very closely. "This is our picture?" she asked with a sweet voice as she observed the picture. She felt a close bond with him through the position they were sitting in the picture.
"I was reluctant to take it too but thank god I did. If not I wouldn't have proof for you right now." He said taking a seat near her bedside.
She smiled at him. She didn't know who he was but she liked the way he was for some reason she felt very close to him if he was able to yell at her the way he did. She thought it was kind of cute. "Tell me more." She asked now observing his expression.
Frankie told her everything about how they met and hated each other to how they fell in love. He left out parts about her father, the Lai sisters and the Wong brothers. She didn't need to know any of that. At least not yet and not now.
Annie listened to him tell her a story like a child at a candy story. She didn't remember anything but that didn't matter to her, she was starting to enjoy Frankie's company around her.
