Sally's plan was not working as well as she would have liked, and when she noticed that Laurel and Ashley were more in love than ever, she decided to concoct some drama when she made a distinct comment relating to her past with Ashley. Catching onto her scheming, Laurel immediately reminded Ashley that their anniversary was about them living in the present, not about the past. Sally then decided that her best line of defence would be to ruin Ashley and Laurel's celebrations, and she did this by making them cocktails. She, however, sneakily added extra vodka into Laurel's cocktail, which she was then forced to down when the taxi was outside waiting for her. Not much later, the pair returned, Laurel hopelessly drunk and Ashley obviously irritated. Taking Laurel to bed, he then spent the rest of the evening reminiscing with Sally over the many memories they have shared together.

She leant forward and kissed Cain passionately before pulling away and telling him that she's offering him a deposit and that when he proved that he finds her trustworthy, she'd be more than happy to offer him the full jackpot.
