Picking up where the 6/22 episode of ""General Hospital"" left off, a dead body is found hanging from the rafters at the Nurses Ball and discovered to be Jake. Chris suggests to Eve they provide alibis for each other since they both don't have one for the time of Jake's death. Accusations fly wild as everyone argues about who is the culprit. Garcia brings in Lark, who was found hiding at the Ball. Garcia announces everyone is a suspect and questions all party guests. Later, Mac and Kevin find evidence in Jake's apartment, including a suicide note, which leads them to conclude Jake was the ""General Homicide"" killer.

The newspaper reports Jake was the ""General Homicide"" killer and the D.A. drops the murder charges against Julie. Frank visits Lark at the juvenile center and, after she blackmails him into getting her released by threatening to reveal his DL-56 use, he asks for Scott's help. After Jake's death, Karen vows to stop the DL-56 research much to Frank's dismay. After Kevin and Scott berate her for leaking Eve's past as a hooker, Lucy offers her an insincere apology. However, Eve, humiliated when her secret gets around, replies with harsh words. After Lucy learns Eve took her place at Serena's scout meeting, Lucy declares war.
