Meanwhile, Adriana has joined up with Layla and Dorian and Brody (supposed father to Gigi's son). Brody, mistaking her for Gigi, pulled her into a kiss but she quickly pulls out. Adriana lays it on thick as she works to convince Brody to come to Llanview to reunite with Gigi and Shane, claiming Gigi's never gotten over him and Shane needs the presence of a father figure.

Adriana is confident things are going to work out just as she had hoped.
