She wants to know why is Caitlin so mad on Gregory. Gabi feels like she is guilty for Ricardo and Gabi's breakup, when she receives Paula's goodbye-letter.

However, Caitlin is not at all moved by Annie's words. When that doesn't work, Annie plots to find the tape which Caitlin has. She orders Caitlin to look if her family is around so she could sneak out, but she's actually looking for the tape in Caitlin's room. Olivia goes up to Caitlin's room to talk to her, not knowing that Annie is inside. Meanwhile, Annie finds the mysterious tape of Gregory making a phone call.
