Maria, Meg and Ben made an uneventful appearance at Ricardo's party. Ricardo talked Antonio into dancing with Gabi. He fantasized that their dance was more romantic than it was. Carmen told Ricardo that Gabi would break his heart. Ricardo asked Gabi to spend the night with him.

BEHIND THE JAVA WEB: Amy was attacked by what she believed was a mummy. When Sean rescued her, it turned out that the mummy that was following her was a homeless person.

RICHARDS HOUSE: When Cole caught Caitlin asking Annie for money, Annie told him that Caitlin overdid it buying Christmas presents for Trey. Cole broke the news to Caitlin that he's going to Mexico to return the jewels with AJ and Francesca.
Annie was in the process of thinking about what she could sell to get the money, when Gregory overheard her. She told him that she was making a list of their valuables for their insurance. They got another phone call. Gregory grabbed the phone from Annie's hand, but there was nothing but silence on the line after he took the phone. We saw that this phone call was coming from a tape recorder sitting on someone's desk hooked up to a phone. After hanging up, Gregory realized that they've put a tracer on the phone. Caitlin claimed that they're going to trace the call and then call the parents of the kids who are making the prank calls and put an end to it. Later, Annie told Caitlin that she could sell a Faberge egg to get a start on the money they need to pay the blackmailer.
A HOTEL: AJ broke into Francesca's hotel room to look for the jewels. When Francesca caught him and held him at gunpoint, he warned that if she didn't give him the jewels, she'll regret it.

Francesca told the others that the Madonna's missing, and that Antonio may know where it is.
RICHARDS HOUSE: Annie got far less than the egg was worth. When Caitlin scolded her for settling for less, Annie said that she didn't have the luxury of waiting for the highest bidder and that they could use it to buy some time. Annie told Gregory that she has been making friends with Caitlin to show Gregory how much she loves him. While they were kissing, Gregory noticed that the egg was missing. Annie alleged that Trey broke it.
