Harley follows Daisy to Main Street and questions Daisy about her boyfriend and her drug use. Daisy is defensive and says she thinks that Harley would rather she had not return to testify. She also says that she believes that Harley hates her. Harley says that she loves her but she is angry with her. Gus and Jeffrey have followed the women to Main Street as well. Gus tells Jeffrey to find a miracle that will allow them to still be able to adopt Sydney. While Harley is telling Daisy that Daisy is partially responsible for the death of Tammy and that Daisy's actions have probably cost Harley and Gus custody of Sydney, Donovan makes an offer to Gus and Jeffrey. He says that if they allow the baby to go with her uncle and aunt, they will be allowing the baby to have a good and solid home, otherwise Sydney would go into the foster care system. Donovan says there is no way that Gus and Harley would ever be granted custody of the baby. Harley overhears this and can't believe it is true. She believes it is a scam. Donovan says he can't believe Gus and Harley really believe they have a chance at custody and leaves.
Daisy suggests that she leave and sign over any rights to ever be involved in Sydney's life and leaves. Jeffrey tells Gus and Harley that Daisy might be on to something. Gus and Harley return home and admire Sydney. Harley can't believe that she may have to choose between Daisy and Sydney. She realizes that Sydney is the chance for her and Gus to "have a child together." She admits that Gus would most likely want to choose Sydney rather than a troubled stepdaughter. Gus admits that it would be lovely to be able to raise Sydney with Harley and help her become a wonderful young woman. However, as hard it is to say it, if Sydney can really be raised by a loving aunt and uncle it would be good for her. Daisy has no one but Gus and Harley. He would choose Daisy. A tearful Harley embraces Gus.
With fake i.d. in hand, Daisy goes to Outskirts and has a drink. She sees Donovan at the end of the bar and approaches him with a proposition. If he gets the aunt and uncle to relinquish custody to Gus and Harley, she'll do anything he wants her to do. Donovan tells her to meet him at his hotel room the next night.

Inside the Light: Hands On
To kick off the Guiding Light's 70th anniversary year of volunteerism, the cast and crew spend a week in Biloxi Mississippi rebuilding three homes. All of the cast members interviewed express their excitement about the opportunity, though completely weary of their construction skills. Justin Deas (Buzz) expresses that, even if it turns out a tenth of the way they expect it to, then they will have made a difference. Ron Raines (Alan) sits in a tuxedo offering his expertise in changing light bulbs. Crystal Chappell (Olivia) thinks it's a wonderful idea because everyone needs help. Marcy Rylan (Lizzie) wonders if she should remove her acrylic nails for this job.
In Biloxi, Robert Newman (Josh) and Kim Zimmer (Reva) load their bags into a van and together take a tour of what the city looks like now, eighteen months after the hurricane. Tearfully, Zimmer stares at dilapidated buildings. It's heartbreaking to see so much still undone. It's important that people come and volunteer.
At the Hands On Center, the cast and crew is greeted with open arms and treated to a short seminar about the families they will build for. Three women whose homes fell through the cracks were left with dilapidated housing. Frank Dicopoulos (Frank) expresses how he thought things were just being rebuilt. It blows his mind to see that it's still practically just like the day after the storm.
Afterward the gang is split into teams. Team one is the "Stud House," team two is the "Drywall House," and team three is the "Finish House." At the Stud House Zimmer, Chappell, Kurt McKinney (Matt Reardon), Corey Robinson (Remy), and others meet the owner, Miss Ethel. She describes what happened to her home. The rising water cornered her in the house. She wound up getting into her refrigerator and cutting a hole for air. She survived because the appliance floated in the water.
At the Drywall house Newman, Nicole Foster (Cassie), Stephanie Gatschet (Tammy), Elizabeth Keifer (Blake), and others worked for an older woman named Gerta. Foster speaks German (I think) to the woman. She shows them water stained, dirty, framed photos of her family. Sadly she hopes this is the last time she ever loses her home.
At the Finish House Dicopoulos, Ricki Goldin (Gus), Jordan Clarke (Billy), Caitlin Van Zandt (Ashlee), Mandy Bruno (Marina), and others cry as their homeowner, Rozinna, tells the story of her feeling responsible for not getting her family out in time. She had had surgery a week before and didn't take them to safety as she usually would. The water rose over the stairs, and her brother swore they weren't going out like that. She shared how it felt to have so many people around her asking for things, needing things, and even without having anything herself, she felt compelled to share. Gina Tognoni (Dinah) laments about the woman's sadness that God forgot about her. She knows that, "God shows up right on time, and He did. That's why we are here today. He didn't forget about her."
The cast and crew work on these homes for a week. At the end of day one, the entire cast and crew is jazzed. They feel a sense of pride and can't wait to return the next day. They spend the night in military style barracks that house the volunteers. They feel that it is like a huge slumber party. Staying at the volunteer shelter also means waking at 5:30am to cook (or ruin in Michael Dempsey's (Alan Michael's) case) breakfast.
Beth Chamberlain (Beth) describes how Hands On is not just about houses, but also about rebuilding communities. They spend a day tutoring local elementary school students. Gatschet relates how its horrible that these kids know what it feels like to think they'll die. It's amazing that today they can laugh and play with smiles on their faces. Michael O'Leary (Rick) seems to have had the most fun playing with the kids at recess.
While Zimmer launches an investigation on who broke the "number ones only in the port-o-potty" rule, Keifer faces her fear of nail guns. Rylan arrives at the site after being sick the previous day. Dempsey is confident working with Jordan Clarke who has done carpentry for forty-five years. The families seem to be living in the homes during the reconstruction. The actors discuss how the kids have taken to them and look forward to seeing them when they return from school. They all agree that knowing who they are building the homes for makes it all worthwhile. For the Finish House, the show decides to not only finish it, but furnish it as well.
A Part of the teams leaves their homes for an ancillary project in New Orleans. Rob Bogue (Mallet) expresses how that was hard for him to leave after having become emotionally invested in the home. Michelle Ray-Smith (Ava) explains the Sunflower project in which they plant sunflowers all over the city to absorb the lead from the ground. The flowers are pretty and at the same time, they protect the children from the lead. They also paint school murals. Raines believes the experiences put life and your own problems into perspective.
The cast also tours the Ninth Ward. Home after home after home after home is destroyed, standing only by the wood's own will, if standing at all. The cast is silent, devastated by debris littered lots where homes once stood. Bruno expresses that it makes her sick that, "a year and a half later, it's still like this. It shouldn't be like this. We live in an incredible country. We have to do something about it. We have to fix it."
Back at the Stud House, Chamberlain and Bogue discuss how they are ahead of schedule. Each home is showing progress. Dicopoulos states that everyone is determined to make it perfect, to make it right. The cast discusses their momentum and drive for everything to come together. Soon, the Finish House is ready for its reveal.
Rozinna enters the kitchen, takes one look, and sobs. They hug her and Clarke welcomes her home. Yvonna Wright (Mel) describes how Rozinna touches all the things, wondering if they are really hers. Rozinna can barely contain her joy as the women reveal her daughter's room. They pile on her with hugs. She can't contain her sobs as she thanks them all and the cast applauds her.
Robert Newman rallies the cast, as Josh often does, saying that no one knew what to expect from this. Guiding Light started in January of 1937. He recounts the poem that was recited on each radio episode, the poem that they have returned to the show's opening: "There is a destiny that makes us brothers. None goes his way alone. All that we send into the lives of others comes back into our own. Zimmer, Chamberlain, and Tognoni express how rare it is to be involved in such a life-changing event. It instills in them that one person can make a difference.
Dicopoulos makes a speech at their final dinner thanking Hands On. He feels that a member of the organization was always there to help him every step of the way, especially when he had no idea of what he was doing. He congratulates Hands On for welcoming them and helping them complete their tasks. Rylan thanks Hands On for making them feel so welcome. Foster shakes her tool belt around her waist as if it's her moneymaker, proud that she's mastered how to wear one and find things in it. At the Drywall House, the current phase is finished, but Gatschet tells us that GL has sponsored the house (and the Stud House), and it will be completed and furnished. Keifer says, "I have learned the value of community. Possessions come and go, but your neighbors are what's important."
Bogue is tearful, saying how proud he is of his cast mates, proud that their name is up on the Hands On wall. Rylan feels it will be hard to go home when so much more needs to be done. What they have accomplished is great, but so much more needs to be done. Bogue additionally says it's important that these people in need never feel abandoned again.
The show ends by encouraging us with the words, "Find your light. Be the change. Volunteer." They ask that we visit the Find Your Light website to see more footage and sign up to volunteer with the show on future projects.
Cassie wakes up, pops a few more pills and gets up angrily making a Valentine's dinner for Josh and RJ. She believes nothing is going to ever be perfect again as long as Alan is around.
